Thousands of Nigerians are members of Telegram groups linked to prostitution and misinformation. DUBAWA’s latest investigation uncovered 79 Telegram groups operating across Nigerian cities and universities, where leaked intimate videos of women are used to advertise prostitution and misinformation is spread to promote the practice. These groups host thousands of members and expose users to exploitation, extortion, and harmful false narratives. #Telegram #prostitution #NAPTIP #HumanTrafficking @nordicmodelnow @unwomenNG

Hi women, can you post pictures or talk about your academic achievements? I need some motivation this month. If you see this tweet, share it so women can see it.

I spent a larger part of this morning rereading a @CJIDAfrica report we published a few years ago on the expansion of Boko Haram and related extremist groups beyond their traditional strongholds. As I see the part we highlighted on Northern Oyo, I feel so sad that some of our predictions turned out to be correct, and we are now dealing with the cost of inaction with the kidnap of the school kids and their teachers. Today, forests and nature reserves are becoming governance vacuums with armed actors embedding themselves within communities before openly asserting control. The strategic use of generosity, protection, and economic incentives to build local legitimacy. Reading it in 2026 felt less like reading history and more like reading a commentary on current events. Which raises a question I have been thinking about: What happens to warnings after they are written? Not just this report as there are several investigations, intelligence briefs, community complaints, research findings and countless documents produced every year identifying vulnerabilities before they become crises. Our public conversations often begin after tragedy. By then, everyone is looking for solutions in state police, forest guards, and more deployments. But what if part of the challenge is not the absence of information? What if the challenge is our inability to absorb, connect, and act on what we already know? For those interested, the report is attached below thecjid.org/wp-content/uploa…

I am pleased to share the advanced edited version of my upcoming report to #HRC62 which I will present on 22nd of June 2026 on violence against mothers (A/HRC/62/49): ohchr.org/sites/default/file…

Today, the House of Representatives has passed the State Police Bill. This marks a significant step toward decentralizing Nigeria’s policing system and moving the country closer to the establishment of state-controlled police forces.
