Security forces neutralise scores of terrorists, arrest 83 others

Security forces conducting internal operations nationwide have neutralised several terrorists and apprehended 83 others in coordinated efforts against non-state actors and other criminal groups.

They rescued 23 kidnap victims, recovered a large cache of weapons, and recovered 14,550 liters of stolen crude oil and petroleum products from oil thieves over the past week.

The Director Defence Media Operations Maj-Gen Markus Kangye, revealed this in a statement on Friday.

According to him, the Nigerian military operation was designed to combat specific threats, secure our citizens and provide a secure environment for economic activities to thrive.

The military spokesperson stated that troops, in conjunction with hybrid forces, conducted operations from October 16 to 23 in various locations in the North East, including Gwoza, Konduga, and Monguno in Borno State; Madagali and Maiha in Adamawa State; and Tarmuwa in Yobe State. During the operations, scores of terrorists were neutralized, 13 others were arrested, and three kidnap victims were rescued.

In the North West frontline, Gen. Kangye revealed that offensive operations conducted from October 16 to 23 in various locations, including Tsayanwa, Dan Musa, and Faskari in Katsina State; Kebbe, Goronyo, and Gudu in Sokoto State; Tsafe, Maradun, and Sakaba in Zamfara and Kebbi States; and Kajuru and Tudun Wada in Kaduna State, resulted in the elimination of several terrorists, the arrest of 11 others, and the rescue of 14 kidnap victims.

He said similar operations conducted by troops of Operation Enduring Peace in Barkin Ladi, Bassa, Jos North, Riyom, Jos East, and Mangu Local Government Areas of Plateau State; Zangon Kataf, Jama’a, Kaura, and Tafawa Balewa Local Government Areas of Kaduna and Bauchi States, resulted in the elimination of several violent extremists, the arrest of 24 others, and the rescue of three kidnap victims.

‘In another development, on 19 October 2025 in a planned raid operation, troops arrived at the residence of a wanted notorious extremist leader identified as Alhaji Muhammed Sule (aka MP) at Rawaya village in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State,’ Kangye said.

‘No contact was made during the raid. However, following weapons were recovered from the suspect’s residence; 2 AK47 rifles, one G3 rifle, one revolver pistol, 6 magazines and 1,202 live ammunition. Weapons recovered are in troops custody, while a manhunt of the suspect is ongoing to affect arrest.’

The military spokesperson stated that troops of Operation Whirl Stroke conducted similar operations in Ibbi, Jalingo, and Wukari Local Government Areas of Taraba State; Ukum, Loko, and Shendam Local Government Areas of Benue and Plateau States; Nasarawa, Akwanga, and Toto Local Government Areas of Nasarawa State; Kabba Bunu and Yagba Local Government Areas of Kogi State; and Bwari and Abaji Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), neutralizing several terrorists, arresting 16 suspects, and rescuing three kidnap victims.

He said troops of Operation DELTA SAFE in the South-South region foiled oil theft worth over N13,446,278.00, when they recovered 12,350 litres of stolen crude oil, 840 litres of diesel and 1,350 litres of Kerosene.

‘Additionally, they discovered and destroyed six crude oil cooking ovens, four dugout pits, 12 boats, 5 storage tanks and two illegal refining sites. Furthermore, three oil thieves and other criminals were arrested,’ Kangye said.

‘Relatedly, between October 12 to 22, troops conducted offensive operations in Uvwie, Burutu, Warrin South and Ethiope East Local Government Area of Delta State and arrested seven criminals.’

In the South East region, the military spokesperson said troops of Operation Udo Ka conducted operations from October 17 to 23 in Umunneochi and Orumba North Local Government Areas of Abia and Anambra States; and Udenu and Afikpo Local Government Areas of Enugu and Ebonyi States, where they arrested 12 Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)/Eastern Security Network (ESN) members and rescued three kidnap victims.

He said the success of ongoing operations was a testament to the ‘determination and resilience of our troops, who continue to work tirelessly to secure our nation.’

LAWMA’s new playbook on environmental offences

In May, a short video clip sparked public outrage: a driver pulled up on the Alapere Link Bridge, opened the boot of his car, and tipped household refuse onto the carriageway before driving off. Within hours, our enforcement teams, working with the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC/KAI), identified and arrested the suspect.

By May 22-23, the Environmental and Special Offences Court sitting in Oshodi had ordered his remand at Kirikiri Correctional Centre, with the case adjourned for further hearing. The message was clear: indiscriminate dumping has consequences in Lagos.

That incident was not a one-off. In the weeks leading up to the arrest, we had publicly appealed for information and even offered a modest reward to help identify a serial dumper operating on the same bridge-an appeal supported by surveillance from field officers and tips from nearby traders. Community vigilance is not a slogan; it is the difference between a video that trends for a day and an arrest that deters repeat behaviour.

As Managing Director of LAWMA, I view enforcement through the lens of Lagos’s geography and exposure. We are a heavily populated, low-lying coastal state where rainfall can be intense and tidal influence is real. A bag of refuse tossed into a drain in Ketu does not disappear; it blocks culverts, exacerbates flooding, pushes contaminated water into homes and markets, and sends plastics and organics down our canals into the lagoons and the Atlantic.

Illegal dumping raises vector-borne disease risks, degrades fisheries and recreation, and imposes real economic costs on traders, commuters, and households after every downpour. This is why enforcement is integral to our waste-management system: it protects public health, climate resilience, and everyday livelihoods.

Over the past year, we have moved from episodic crackdowns to a standing, intelligence-led model that couples quick prosecution with community vigilance. In September, our legal department filed 10 new matters against more than 25 individuals and business entities, acting on intelligence from private surveillance teams, estate associations and residents, and LAGESC across Egbeda, Ayobo, Ketu, Alimosho, Lekki, and Iyana Ipaja.

During the same review period, the Environmental and Special Offences Courts delivered judgments in over 80 environmental cases, imposing penalties totalling N15,090,000. Defaulters who could not pay received community service or were remanded at the appropriate correctional facilities-real consequences that raise the cost of non-compliance.

The pipeline is steady and transparent. From September 2024 to September 2025, LAWMA instituted 155 environmental-offence matters, concluded 82, and is prosecuting 46 ongoing trials, with 27 fresh summonses awaiting judicial endorsement. These are not isolated figures; they describe a system moving consistently from evidence to consequence.

The offences we encounter most frequently are straightforward but deeply harmful: failure to patronise accredited PSP operators; transportation of waste through unauthorised channels; dumping in drains, canals, and other unapproved locations; and failure to provide proper on-site storage.

These behaviours are illegal under the Lagos State Environmental Management and Protection Law, 2017-among others, sections 79, 81, 85, 86, 88, 109, 118(1), 140, 144, and 169(1)(b)-because they place the many at risk for the convenience of a few.

Our operating philosophy is simple: enforcement works best when it is people-powered, preventive, and fair. We are strengthening multi-level intelligence gathering with estate and resident committees that monitor and report violations; encouraging whistle-blowers to share real-time, verifiable tips; and coordinating closely with LAGESC and the Ministry of Justice so that credible cases move quickly from arrest to prosecution.

We are also restoring the everyday presence of Environmental Health Officers-the ‘wole-wole’-whose inspections and guidance help stop problems before they escalate. This is how we make enforcement less about surprise raids and more about consistent standards that everyone understands.

The stakes are high in a coastal megacity. A single blocked culvert can back up storm water across multiple streets; night-time tipping into canals travels downstream into wetlands and beaches; informal haulage scatters refuse along corridors that serve schools and markets.

By raising the cost of environmental offences through fines, community service, and, where necessary, custodial sentences, we keep drains clear, canals flowing, and neighbourhoods safer when the clouds open. The Alapere case shows what this looks like in practice: credible surveillance, swift arrest, and an unambiguous judicial response.

Our message to residents and businesses is direct. Patronise your assigned PSP operator and keep proper storage on your premises. Do not use informal or unauthorised haulers; they break the chain of accountability and often end up dumping in places that endanger your neighbours.

We all need to change our attitude to environmental issues. The earth, for now, is our home. It is where we live, breathe, eat, raise our children, etc. Therefore, we cannot afford to destroy the environment because our whole essence depends on it.

Consequently, when we imbibe positive attitudinal change towards the environment, we are sure of living free of any pollutants or hazards that we might introduce into our environment through human-induced activities.

Protecting the environment allows future generations of human beings to grow and live without having to deal with anything we have done to contaminate the environment in which we do live and they will live. Protecting the environment is, without doubt, the best way to protect ourselves against diseases and other harmful environmental hazards.

Traditionally, talks on environmental protection often centre on the role of government, legislation, and law enforcement. However, environmental protection ought to be the duty of all the people and not simply that of the government.

Therefore, we all need to embrace positive attitude towards the environment. Parks should not be turned into market places, toilets, refuse dumps or places where animals graze. Failure to control animals or allowing their defecation or engaging in an unhygienic use of fountains, pools or water in the parks, gardens and open spaces would be counter-productive and as such must be discouraged.

With natural disasters occurring across the world, as a result of the abuse of the environment, this is the time for everyone to rethink their attitude to the environment. As previously stated, it is whatever we give to the environment that it gives back to us. Community leaders, traditional rulers, religious leaders, NGOs, and other stakeholders should work in partnership with the state government to ensure that current gains in the sector are sustained. It is only in doing this that the state government’s massive investment in protecting the environment would not be a waste.

If you see indiscriminate dumping or suspicious waste movement, report it. Credible, verifiable information shortens response times and strengthens prosecutions, making enforcement fairer and more effective for everyone.

Tolulope Oginni renovates Ajogbo Grammar School

It was a day filled with joy and gratitude as Ajogbo Grammar School Senior, Ota, Ogun State, received a major facelift through the renovation of its school hall, a heartfelt project sponsored by alumnus and founder of Transtech Consulting, Tolulope Joshua Oginni. The commissioning ceremony, held on October 15, was attended by students, teachers, dignitaries, and community leaders.

The newly renovated hall was officially commissioned by His Royal Majesty, Oba Olabode VT Thomas Fagbayi, Oni Tigbo of Tigbo Ilu Kingdom, Awori Land, who also presented an Award of Appreciation to Oginni for his selfless contribution to the school.

In his address, Oginni expressed deep emotions as he recounted fond memories from his school days, describing the project as a personal mission rooted in gratitude.

He said, ‘Though it has been 18 years since I graduated from this school, I never forgot my roots. Ajogbo Grammar School is part of my story. This hall is not just a hall to me; it is a reminder of where it all began, my foundation, my growth, and the journey that shaped who I am today.’

Oginni, who served as Social Prefect during the 2001-2007 set, noted that giving back to the school was not an act of charity but a duty to the community that helped shape his future. ‘By God’s grace, we have started, and we will continue, and we will do even more,’ he added.

The joy on the faces of students, teachers, and old students was unmistakable, as many described the transformation of the hall as a sign of renewed hope and pride for the institution.

Principal Mrs. Olukemi Moronke Sorinolu commended Oginni for his generosity and commitment, calling his gesture ‘a shining example of true leadership and gratitude.’

In closing, Oginni dedicated the project to God, saying, ‘Success is indeed a beautiful thing, but it becomes truly meaningful when we remember where we all started from.’

The newly renovated hall now stands as a lasting legacy and a beacon of inspiration for the Ajogbo Grammar School Senior community.

Seven creative ways to reset your mind this weekend

In a world that rarely slows down, finding simple ways to clear your head can make all the difference. Whether you’re recovering from a long week or just need a mental breather, these small but powerful resets can help you recharge – no expensive wellness retreat required.

1. Take a digital detox hour

Delete one app that drains your energy – the one you open out of habit, not joy. Even a short break from constant notifications can calm your mind and help you reconnect with the real world.

2. Create a ‘brain dump’ playlist

Make a playlist that mirrors how you feel right now. Music that reflects your current state of mind can help you process feelings you didn’t even realize you were holding.

3. Watch something that challenges you

Instead of another comfort show, try a documentary, TED Talk, or even a local interview that shifts your perspective. Sometimes, hearing a new idea can refresh your mind more than a nap.

4. Change your scenery

Move your furniture around, work from a different café, or drive a new route. Your brain thrives on novelty -even small changes can reset your mood and creativity.

5. Say no- guilt-free

Cancel one plan or decline a favor without overexplaining. Protecting your time and energy is a form of self-respect, not selfishness.

6. Revisit an old hobby

Do something that once made you happy before adult life took over – paint, write, build, or play an instrument. Nostalgia can be deeply grounding.

7. Spend a Few Minutes in Silence

In a world that glorifies busyness, quiet moments are rare. Step away from your phone, switch off the TV, and let the silence do its work. Studies show that even five minutes of quiet can lower stress and improve focus

Resetting your mind doesn’t always require big changes. This weekend, focus on the small shifts that help you breathe, think clearly, and return to Monday a little lighter.

’Wait-and-get’ drivers licence

But for the hassles that Nigerians needing drivers licence have been passing through over the years, there should be nothing special about the news from the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) that it has perfected plans to facilitate issuance of the document.

However, the ubiquitous ‘Nigerian factor’ that has afflicted other processes has equally afflicted the issuance of drivers licence. That is why it sometimes takes years for people who have completed all the processes to have permanent driver’s licence. They are first issued temporary drivers licence which may have to be renewed over and again before the permanent one is ready.

This is an indictment not only of the agencies responsible for the licence but also successive governments under which such abnormality festered.

But what the FRSC is now saying is that the hassles would soon be over with the technology it has now acquired.

Hear the FRSC Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed: ‘We have activated plans to overcome the perennial challenges associated with delays in obtaining the drivers licence and number plates. Our printing facility has been upgraded to print an average of 15,000 drivers licences daily.’

The corps marshall disclosed this in Abuja on Monday at a press briefing to inaugurate the 2025 Ember Months Public Enlightenment and Sensitisation Campaign. The theme of the campaign was ‘Tech Responsibility for Your Safety: Stop Distracted Driving’; it targets dangerous driving behaviours annually linked to increased road crashes between December 15 and January 15.

This is not all.

According to Mohammed, ‘We are also about to commence the contactless biometric capture with on-spot printing of the licence, which will eliminate temporary licences, thereby signalling the beginning of a digitalised one-stop-shop for processing drivers licences.’

That this news has come and gone almost unnoticed is enough proof that Nigerians do not trust the system could ever be so efficient. So, they have merely adopted a ‘walk-the-talk first’ disposition.

We cannot afford to be that pessimistic or cynical even if we know that the fears of the ordinary Nigerian about the much-touted new dawn is not totally unfounded.

In terms of the system that the FRSC has put in place, like the synchronisation of its processes with those of agencies like the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) for access to the National Identification Number (NIN) database, etc., everything seems spot-on.

But issuance of drivers licence in the country is on the concurrent list; meaning it is a joint responsibility between the state governments and the Federal Government. Although FRSC says it has enhanced its cooperation with state governments and their agencies such as the driving schools, Vehicle Inspection Offices (VIOs) and revenue boards to ensure seamless implementation of the new system nationwide, this is a potential area to watch. The best of technology cannot do much if one of the parties lags behind or becomes uncooperative.

It is good that the corps has so digitised its operations with capacity to print about 40,000 licences daily, thus enabling it to clear about 400,000 of the about 800,000 backlog of drivers licences it had as a result of the new system; the fact remains that we need to constantly be on the lookout for potential loopholes that some unscrupulous officials may want to adopt to frustrate it.

The FRSC keeps talking about things almost as good as ready after capturing. But what happens before then?

The litmus test would be whether the road safety corps would be able to meet the middle of November deadline for clearing the backlog of drivers licences as promised by the corps marshal.

We restate the need to guard against any area that is likely to draw back the hands of the clock so that we won’t come back to square one barely weeks or at most months after the system would have worked well initially. That has been the usual experience with government policies and projects in the country.

And it has remained so because we have not given corruption the kind of defeat it deserves.

African tax chiefs unite for fair taxation of the wealthy

Tax administrators across Africa have resolved to strengthen measures for the effective taxation of High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWIs), as part of broader efforts to expand the continent’s tax base and enhance domestic revenue mobilisation.

The resolution was reached at a continental workshop on Enhancing Tax Compliance Among High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWIs) in Entebbe, Uganda, from October 21 to 23.

The event was jointly organised by the African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF) and the International Centre for Tax and Development (ICTD).

Executive Secretary of ATAF, Ms. Mary Baine, urged African tax administrations to approach the issue of taxing the wealthy with determination and innovation.

She said: ‘According to the ATO Report, South Africa, Eswatini, and the Kingdom of Lesotho lead Africa in personal income tax collection, yet most of this revenue still comes from Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE) taxpayers.’

Baine pointed out that many tax authorities across the continent continue to face challenges such as inadequate funding, weak data integration, and insufficient use of administrative data for decision-making.

She assured that ATAF remains committed to supporting its members in achieving stronger domestic revenue mobilisation (DRM) in line with the Seville Declaration.

Delivering the keynote address, the Commissioner of the Namibia Revenue Agency (NamRA) and Vice Chair of the ATAF Council, Mr. Sam Shivute, called for firm leadership in the enforcement of tax compliance among the wealthy.

‘In line with the Compromiso de Sevilla of 2025, tax administrations must ensure the effective taxation of High-Net-Worth Individuals in their respective jurisdictions,’ Shivute stated.

He noted that strong and transparent leadership was key to building credible compliance programmes that ensure fairness and public trust.

At a high-level panel discussion on The Strategic and Political Dynamics of Taxing HNWIs, Mr. Shivute joined Ms. Baine and Mr. Henry Ngutwa, Deputy Commissioner General of the Malawi Revenue Authority, to discuss practical approaches to improving compliance frameworks, expanding access to data, and fostering collaboration among government institutions.

The discussions also examined the political complexities surrounding taxation of the wealthy and how governments can design fair and effective systems that promote equity without discouraging investment.

During the workshop, participating countries shared experiences on profiling high-net-worth taxpayers, identifying critical datasets and analytical tools, and strengthening legal and administrative mechanisms for enforcement.

The meeting concluded with a set of actionable recommendations aimed at updating the ATAF Guide on Taxing High-Net-Worth Individuals. These outcomes are expected to shape future research, policy design, and technical assistance programmes that will help African countries build effective and fair HNWI compliance systems.

The consensus among participants was clear – taxing Africa’s wealthiest individuals more effectively is not just a matter of revenue, but of fairness, sustainability, and shared prosperity.

’Soil health scheme to end guess work in farming, others’

Federal Government has said the soil health scheme will end guesswork in farming by providing scientifically-backed, location-specific soil analysis to farmers.

Minister of State for Agriculture and Rural Development, Sabi Abdullahi, spoke yesterday at a workshop for Nigeria Soil Information Systems (SIS).

He said this will give scientifically-backed, location-specific soil analysis, enabling farmers to know exact crop and nutrients soil needs.

Abdullahi confirmed that field trials have been completed and soil samples collected, marking a transition from planning to implementation.

‘For too long, farmers have planted based on intuition, using any fertiliser blend available, which led to high costs and low yields. This scheme will provide expert advice on the right crop for each soil type and precise nutrients,’ he said.

‘It lays the foundation for precision agriculture.’

The minister noted that the initiative is a response to rising input costs and stagnant yields, which slowed progress toward national food security. He said it aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s agenda to achieve food sovereignty.

Abdullahi noted the system will also de-risk agriculture for investors, saying while Nigeria has 73 million hectares of arable land, 34 million hectares are currently cultivated.

‘The soil determines what can be done. When we have a standardised soil information system based on global best practices, investors will be confident.”

They will have data-driven focus rather than guesswork,’ he explained.

The government expects the Soil Information System to guide investments into high-potential value chains and regions, providing clarity for agribusinesses and reducing exploratory risks.

The scheme is being implemented with technical support from international partners, including the Regional Hub for Fertilizer and Soil Health at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in Ibadan.
