@woye1 @icrcng What a great news! More jobs for the people and meaningful development for the surrounding communities. This is a welcome development that will boost economic activities and improve livelihoods in the area.

Sad news: FG not Tinubu has completed approvals, certifications and compliance process from @icrcng for five proposed deep-seaports for investment and implementation. 2: the deep sea ports are: -(a): Badagry Deep Sea Port, Lagos state. -(b): Olokola Deep Sea Port, Ogun/Ondo states. -(c): Ibom Deep Sea port, Akwa Ibom (Well done @Senator_Akpabio for your support). -(d): Bakassi Deep sea Port, Cross River State. -(e): Bonny Deep sea Port (funding constraints and PPP stage passed) Rivers state. 3: Tinubu is creating jobs with this approval. Direct and indirect. 4: our neighboring countries will also benefit and that means $$$ inflow.

PRESS RELEASE UPDATE ON NIGERIA- UNITED STATES JOINT STRIKES ON ISIS: FORCES DELIVER DEVASTATING BLOW, ELIMINATE 175 TERRORISTS The Defence Headquarters wishes to announce major successes in continuing counterterrorism operations in close coordination with United States Africa Command against ISIS terrorists in North East Nigeria. It will be recalled that the joint strikes started a few days ago. As of 19 May 2026, assessments indicate that 175 ISIS terrorists have been eliminated from the battlefield. The joint strikes have resulted in the destruction of ISIS checkpoints, weapons caches, logistical hubs, military equipment and financial networks used to sustain terrorist operations. The operations have also resulted in the elimination of several senior ISIS leaders, including Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, one of the most significant ISIS operatives in the world. Al-Minuki played a central role in ISIS external operations, coordinating terrorist financing, recruitment, logistics and attack planning targeting Nigerians and innocent civilians around the world. His death severely disrupts ISIS command, operational coordination and external attack networks. Other terrorist figures eliminated include Abd-al Wahhab, ISWAP senior leader responsible for coordinating attacks and distributing propaganda, Abu Musa al-Mangawi, ISWAP senior member and Abu al-Muthanna al-Muhajir, ISWAP senior media production team manager and close confidant to al-Minuki. The joint strikes have further reinforced what the Armed Forces of Nigeria have consistently done over the years - hunt down and kill terrorists anywhere they are in Nigeria. The joint operations will continue to hunt down and destroy those who threaten our nation and regional stability. SAMAILA UBA Major General Director Defence Information 19 May 2026

@LegendaryJoe If the person was involved before or during the offence, encouraged it, or knowingly participated in benefiting from it as part of a shared plan, that can rise to conspiracy or aiding and abetting.

Confessing the knowledge of a crime and then using the knowledge to your benefit - What do lawyers in the house call this? Any crime established here? For example: A fellow confessed to you he stole money from the bank and then gave you a little from it for your own runs. Are you complicit? You can also substitute money for perhaps, a wiretapped call record of a high ranking Govermment official.

@officialEFCC This is a welcome development

NNPC Probe: EFCC Secures Final Forfeiture of Private Jet The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Monday, May 18, 2026, secured a final forfeiture order of a Hawker private Jet 125 before Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court, Maitama, Abuja over its link to fraud, corruption and money laundering regarding the Maiduguri Emergency Power Project, MEPP. The aircraft, with model number 800XP, serial number 258553 and registration number 5N-AMK, was forfeited following an application by the EFCC. Ruling on the application, Justice Nwite held that no sufficient cause was shown by Valiente Jet Limited, a company owned by Abdulsalam Mustapha Kachallah, an interested party, why the aircraft should not be finally forfeited to the Federal Government. “The interested party has not demonstrated with evidence the lawful origin of the funds used to purchase the aircraft,” the judge held, stressing that the disguised manner through which the aircraft was acquired using the name of a Bureau De Change operator who denied knowledge of the nature of the transaction further lent credence to the unlawfulness of the entire transaction. The court had earlier granted an interim forfeiture order on November 13, 2025 and directed the Commission to publish the order in a national newspaper for interested parties to show cause why the aircraft should not be permanently forfeited. Following the publication, a company, Valiente Limited whose owner is Alhaji Abdulsalam Mustapha Kachallah filed affidavits to show cause. The application for final forfeiture was supported by an affidavit deposed to by Aminu Abdullahi, an investigator with the EFCC. According to the investigator, the Commission received intelligence bordering on conspiracy, obtaining money by false pretence and money laundering involving Kachallah. Investigation revealed that sometime in 2021, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL, awarded contracts under the Maiduguri Emergency Power Project valued at $114,148,155 (One Hundred and Fourteen Million, One Hundred Forty Eight Thousand, One Hundred and Fifty Five Dollars) and ₦23,172,969,904, (Twenty Three Billion, One Hundred and Seventy Two Million, Nine Hundred and Sixty Nine Thousand. Nine Hundred and Four Naira) . Kachallah, who was then Chairman of the Borno State Rural Electrification Board and a member of the project’s steering committee, used his position and relationship with officials of the NNPCL to engage in illicit dealings connected to the project. Investigation showed that Kachallah entered into unlawful agreements with China Machinery Engineering Company, CMEC, through companies in which he had substantial interest, and sold privileged bidding information relating to the project in exchange for financial inducements. The investigation further showed that CMEC was subsequently awarded three contracts under the project valued at $52,120,172 (Fifty Two Million One Hundred and Twenty Thousand, One Hundred and Seventy Two Dollars) and ₦20,213,956,953 (Twenty Billion, Two Hundred and Thirteen Million, Nine Hundred and Fifty Six Thousand, Nine Hundred and Fifty Three Naira). Part of the contract funds was routed through Afuwa Integrated Services Limited, a Bureau De Change operator, under the false claim that the company was subcontracted by CMEC. CMEC transferred the sum of $2,070,000 (Two Million, Seventy Thousand Dollars) into the Stanbic IBTC Bank account of Afuwa Integrated Services Limited on Kachallah’s instruction. Investigation further revealed that forged invoices were prepared in the name of Afuwa Integrated Services Limited to falsely portray that legitimate services had been rendered to CMEC. The funds were thereafter transferred to a Brazilian account for the purchase of the aircraft from a Brazilian company.

@akinalabi Congratulations

EGBEDA/ONA-ARA: AKIN ALABI COASTS TO VICTORY AS HON. AKINJIDE STEPS DOWN, DECLARES SUPPORT. The All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election for the House of Representatives seat in the Egbeda/Ona-Ara Federal Constituency ended in a victory for Hon. Akin Alabi, Chairman of the House Committee on Works, following a peaceful and credible exercise. Hon. Akin Alabi emerged victorious after his main challenger, Hon. Kazeem Akinjide, stepped down from the race and publicly declared support for the incumbent lawmaker ahead of the 2027 general elections. The outcome of the primary was widely applauded by party members and stakeholders, who described the exercise as peaceful, free, fair, and transparent. Delegates were commended for their orderly conduct throughout the direct primary process. The election was monitored by party officials, representatives of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), security agencies, including the Department of State Services (DSS), and the Nigeria Police Force, to ensure compliance with electoral guidelines and maintain order. No incidents of violence, disruption, or casualties were recorded during the exercise, as security personnel and party officials ensured effective coordination and transparency throughout the process. Supporters of Hon. Akin Alabi celebrated the victory, describing it as a testament to his leadership qualities, effective representation, infrastructural interventions, and empowerment initiatives across Egbeda and Ona Ara Local Government Areas. leaders.ng/2026/05/16/egb…

“This operation underscores the exceptional value of the U.S.-Nigeria partnership and was made possible through the cooperation and coordination of our forces in recent months. Make no mistake, our two nations will relentlessly pursue and neutralize terrorist threats and are committed to protecting our people and interests.” - AFRICOM Commander Gen. Anderson

@DHQNigeria Don't mind them, kill whoever that's necessary to be killed for security to be maintained in Nigeria, their name is Immaterial.

CLARIFICATION ON RECENT REPORTS REGARDING THE NEUTRALISATION OF TERRORIST COMMANDER ABU-BILAL AL-MINUKI The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) wishes to provide clarification following emerging public discourse regarding the recent neutralisation of a high-profile terrorist commander, Abu-Bilal Al-Minuki, during a joint operation with the United States Africa Command on 16 May, 2026. Certain media reports referencing a similar operation in 2024 have mentioned the elimination of a terrorist commander bearing the same name. This has understandably generated questions about the identity of the individual recently neutralised. It is important to state that within the North East region and across the Lake Chad Basin, the use of similar or identical names, aliases and nom de guerres is common among ISWAP and Boko Haram terrorists. This is essentially part of their indoctrination program which is aimed at deliberately obscuring identities. This fact has been established over the years in the course of counter terrorism operations in the Northeast of Nigeria. The Abu-Bilal Al-Minuki eliminated on 16 May, 2026 has been positively identified through human intelligence and technical surveillance as a senior global operative within the Islamic State network, with direct links to international terrorist coordination, funding and operations across the Sahel. There is therefore no ambiguity in his identity. The strike is a significant milestone in our counter-terrorism efforts. The Armed Forces of Nigeria, in partnership with the United States, remain committed to dismantling terrorist networks and will continue to provide verified information through official channels. The general public and the media are please urged to rely only on these sources to avoid confusion from coincidental name similarities. SAMAILA UBA Major General Director Defence Information 16 May 2026

On the Killing of ISWAP Commander Al-Manuki The needless controversy trailing the reported elimination of Abu-Bilal Al-Manuki—also known as Abu-Mainok or Abu-Bilal Al-Minuki, described as a senior commander of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) has once again exposed the gulf between the public sceptics and the realities of modern counterterrorism operations. Doubters of the latest Nigerian-American military successful operation in neutralising the ISWAP leader rushed to question the authenticity of the claim. However, security sources insist that such reactions are premature, unwarranted and not grounded in the full operational context. It is acknowledged within military and intelligence circles that Al-Manuki’s name had appeared among lists of suspected ISWAP/Boko Haram commanders reportedly killed in 2024 during operations around the Birnin Gwari forest axis in Kaduna State. However, security officials now clarify that the earlier listing was a case of mistaken identity or misattribution in the fog of sustained counterinsurgency operations. Importantly, intelligence now confirms that the Birnin Gwari theatre was never within Al-Manuki’s established operational sphere, which negates the accuracy of the earlier assessment. This time, however, security and military authorities maintain a far higher level of confidence. According to intelligence sources, the latest operation was the result of prolonged Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) efforts, supported by communications monitoring and phone intercepts that reportedly began as far back as December 2025. The intelligence trail, according to sources familiar with the mission, did not emerge overnight. Rather, it was built over months of persistent tracking, digital surveillance, and human intelligence inputs to map Al-Manuki’s movements across key locations in northern Nigeria. Security officials disclosed that efforts initially focused on capturing him alive rather than eliminating him. This explains why he was reportedly under surveillance in multiple locations, including Abuja and Maiduguri, up to just days before the final operation. The coordinated effort suggests that the target had been under sustained pressure, with intelligence units attempting to narrow his movements while avoiding premature exposure of the operation. Unlike the previous report, security authorities insist that the latest strike was executed with a significantly higher degree of precision, target validation, and multi-source intelligence confirmation. Officials maintain that multiple layers of verification were applied before authorisation of the final kinetic action, making this operation distinct from earlier incidents in which battlefield assessments later required revision. In their assessment, “this time, there is no ambiguity.” Critics have pointed to past cases in global counterterrorism where high-value targets like Abubakar Shekau were wrongly declared killed, only to resurface later. However, security analysts caution against using such historical anomalies to dismiss every confirmed operation. Indeed, modern counterterrorism history is replete with similar cases of initial uncertainty, particularly in complex environments where insurgent networks operate across difficult terrain and rely heavily on aliases, fragmented identities, and misinformation. For example, even in the global campaign against ISIS leadership, early reports of the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi were later proven incorrect, with his actual death confirmed four years after the first successful killing was announced. Such cases highlight not failure but rather the evolving, often imperfect nature of intelligence gathering in asymmetric warfare. Undermining credible joint operations, particularly those involving Nigerian forces and international partners, risks weakening public confidence in ongoing counterterrorism efforts. They note that Nigeria’s armed forces, working alongside foreign intelligence partners, continue to operate in one of the most complex insurgency environments in the world, where targets often move across borders, adopt multiple identities, and operate within civilian-populated terrain. Against this backdrop, they say, verification processes are deliberately stringent and multi-layered before public confirmation is made. While public scrutiny remains an essential part of democratic accountability, security experts caution that premature dismissal of military claims can inadvertently undermine operational morale and strategic messaging. For now, military authorities remain firm in their position: The latest operation that targeted Abu-Bilal Al-Manuki represents a validated, intelligence-driven success against a senior figure of the Islamic State network. And in their words, this time, they are “100 per cent certain.”

@Eneegmanuelllll You can help him file appeal

His Lawyers sent him to jail Tbvh. A very simple case that could've been easily struck out. They should've filed a Preliminary Objection on the basis that the Court lacked jurisdiction, as it was a purely civil matter and he was just exercising his freedom of speech.

@officialABAT God bless you Mr President

Overnight, Nigeria and the United States recorded a significant example of effective collaboration in the fight against terrorism. Our determined Nigerian Armed Forces, working closely with the Armed Forces of the United States, conducted a daring joint operation that dealt a heavy blow to the ranks of the Islamic State. Early assessments confirm the elimination of the wanted IS senior leader, Abu-Bilal Al-Manuki, also known as Abu-Mainok, along with several of his lieutenants, during a strike on his compound in the Lake Chad Basin Nigeria appreciates this partnership with the United States in advancing our shared security objectives. I extend my sincere gratitude to President Trump for his leadership and unwavering support in this effort. I commend the personnel involved on both sides for their professionalism and courage, and I look forward to more decisive strikes against all terrorist enclaves across the nation.

@Iyoaiye_ You can't give out what you do not have

Filmmaker Niyi Akinmolayan believes Peter Obi needs to improve his communication and political engagement skills to better connect with Nigerian voters ahead of the 2027 presidential race. He said Obi would be more effective if he adopts a more strategic and politically refined approach when responding to questions, as this would help him communicate his ideas and message more convincingly to the electorate.

President Tinubu’s participation at the Africa CEO Forum went beyond appearances, it was a strong engagement across key sectors including energy, infrastructure, agriculture, fintech, manufacturing and the digital economy, all centered on attracting investment and creating opportunities for Nigeria. Through strategic discussions and high-level engagements, Nigeria boldly projected its vision for economic growth and its place in shaping Africa’s future. Here are some of the major highlights from the President’s engagements at the Africa CEO Forum. On AFCTA: "Uh, we need to put our money where our mouth is and develop a relationship. Luckily, we have, you know, our African Trade Agreement that should not be left on the drawing board, should be activated properly. Regional collaboration and effective utilization of our resources. Not working in silos, but in collaboration with one another, using what we have. To me, I believe in African first, because I've started Nigerian first. And all resources today, we don't want scavengers. We don't want extractors. We want people to add value. If you're an investor, we will encourage you to add value to what we have as a nation before that resource..."

@officialABAT @IFC_org @Diop_IFC It was a commendable outing by President Tinubu.

I was pleased to meet with Managing Director of @IFC_org, Makthar Diop @Diop_IFC and his team in Kigali on the margins of the Africa CEO Forum. Nigeria welcomes IFC’s work in advancing a PPP infrastructure pipeline to help address our annual urban infrastructure gap of about $14 billion. This is the type of practical partnership our reforms are designed to unlock. From urban infrastructure to water, land transportation, energy access, MSME finance, and local currency solutions, we are building a framework that can move capital into real projects, create jobs, improve productivity, and strengthen regional connectivity with our neighbours. Nigeria is ready for serious capital, credible partners, and bankable projects. Under our Renewed Hope Agenda, we must turn ambition into delivery, and delivery into better lives for our people. I look forward to deepening this partnership with IFC and the @WorldBankGroup as we build infrastructure for growth, inclusion, and shared prosperity. #ACF26
