These are the people thanking both the Federal and State Governments for their immediate response in rescuing the children kidnapped in Oyo. However, they are also saying they do not want military action because the bandits threatened to kill their children if the army continues its operation against them. They are pleading with the Federal Government to negotiate with the bandits, stating that this is not the first time kidnappings have happened in their community, and that ransom had been paid in previous cases.

TROOPS OF 12 BRIGADE FOIL TERRORISTS’ ATTEMPT TO ABDUCT SCHOOL CHILDREN IN KOGI STATE Troops of 12 Brigade Nigerian Army under 2 Division Nigerian Army have foiled an attempted abduction of pupils at Iluke Community in Kabba Bunu Local Government Area of Kogi State, thwarting the plans of terrorists who disguised themselves in military uniforms to carry out the attack. The successful operation was conducted on 10 June 2026 following credible information provided by vigilant members of the community who alerted troops on patrol to the activities of the terrorists within the area. Acting swiftly on the intelligence, the troops immediately mobilised and advanced to the community to prevent the criminals from achieving their objective. On arrival, troops discovered that the terrorists had already assembled pupils of Iluke Primary School with the intention of abducting them. Without delay, the troops engaged the terrorists, compelling them to abandon their mission and flee the area. During the encounter, one terrorist was neutralised while several others escaped with gunshot injuries upon the approach and engagement by the troops. Sadly, before the arrival of troops, the terrorists had killed a teacher and a resident of the community. Their actions further underscore the criminal and inhumane nature of the terrorists who continue to target innocent civilians. The prompt response of the troops prevented what could have been a large scale abduction of school children and undoubtedly saved many lives. The operation also reflects the commitment, vigilance and professionalism of troops of 12 Brigade in safeguarding lives and protecting vulnerable communities across the Brigade’s area of responsibility. Troops are currently in pursuit of the fleeing bandits. Additionally, considering the interconnected nature of the community to adjoining Kwarra and Niger State, other security outfits in the neighbouring state have been intimated to block fleeing bandits. Other measures aimed at denying terrorists freedom of action, reassuring residents and preventing any further attacks have been emplaced. Members of the public are encouraged to continue supporting security agencies with timely and credible information to enhance ongoing efforts to rid the state of criminal elements.

The FIFA WORLD CUP 🏆 starts today!!!

🏆 The World Cup Starts Today! The FIFA World Cup 2026 officially kicks off today, June 11, making history as the first World Cup hosted by three countries: United States, Mexico, and Canada. The tournament features 48 teams and 104 matches, the largest World Cup ever.

Co-host Canada are dealing with fitness concerns surrounding key players Alphonso Davies and Moïse Bombito ahead of their campaign.

World Cup 2026 Favorites to win According to pre-tournament predictions, leading contenders include: Argentina 🇦🇷 France 🇨🇵 Brazil 🇧🇷 England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Spain 🇪🇸 That make Portugal 🇵🇹 the underdogs and that's why they are going to lift the trophy.

📜 New FIFA Rules Introduced FIFA has introduced several new rules for this World Cup: - Players may not cover their mouths during ​confrontations with opponents, and if one does so deliberately, he may be sent off. The change follows controversies such ‌as ⁠the dispute involving Gianluca Prestianni and Vinicius Junior. - Any player who is ​being substituted will have 10 seconds to leave the field. If he fails to do so, ​the substitute must wait until the first stoppage in play occurring at least one minute later before entering. The same rule applies to injured players. Anyone receiving treatment on the field must leave the pitch and can only ​return at least one minute after play has restarted. -If a referee believes a player or goalkeeper is taking too long to take a goal kick, they ​will begin a visible five-second countdown using their hand. If the ball has not been ​put back into play before the countdown expires, a corner kick will ⁠be awarded to the opposing team. The same procedure will apply to throw-ins. -VAR can now review clearly unjustified second yellow cards, cases of mistaken identity, wrongly awarded ​corners and attacking fouls ​before free-kicks or corners ⁠that directly affect goals, penalties or disciplinary outcomes.

The day we have been waiting for. World Cup 2026
