Retired General indicts Malami, Buratai, others, says terror suspects were freed under Buhari’s govt....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
A retired Major-General of the Nigerian Army, Danjuma Hamisu Ali-Keffi, has alleged that terrorism financing suspects held in military custody were released under suspicious circumstances during the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Ali-Keffi, who was appointed in October 2020 to head Operation Service Wide (OSW), a covert presidential task force, said the releases followed efforts to remove him from the army.
OSW, which comprised personnel from the military, security and intelligence agencies, as well as legal officers from the office of the attorney-general of the federation, was mandated to arrest, investigate and prosecute financiers and collaborators of terrorist groups.
Speaking in an interview, Ali-Keffi said all terrorism financing suspects in army custody were freed in circumstances that suggested compromise.
“All the terrorism financing suspects in the custody of the Army were released under suspicious circumstances,” he said.
He alleged that Farouk Yahaya, former chief of army staff, acted under the influence of Tukur Buratai, a former army chief, to orchestrate his removal from service to pave the way for the releases.
“Thus, it could be safely deduced that General Yahaya, under the prompting of General Buratai, set me up in order to get me out of the Army to pave way for the release of the suspects to cover up their links to some of the terror suspects,” he said.
Ali-Keffi also alleged that Buratai influenced Yahaya’s appointment as army chief following the death of Ibrahim Attahiru.
“It is an open secret that General Buratai influenced the appointment of General Yahaya as the Army Chief following the death of General Attahiru,” he said.
The retired officer further accused Abubakar Malami, former attorney-general of the federation, of playing a role in the alleged release of the suspects.
He said the office of the attorney-general was responsible for guiding investigations and advising on prosecutions or releases where evidence was insufficient.
His words: “So, Mr Malami’s cooperation would be needed for any ‘illegal’ activity to occur in respect of the suspects’ release.
“Considering that Mr Malami was also linked to some of the suspects, it makes logical sense to assume that he cooperated with General Yahaya to free the suspects in the manner that was done in order to protect their reputation.”
Ali-Keffi said it was improbable that the suspects would have been released without Malami’s knowledge and consent.
He also raised concerns about the alleged diversion of funds meant for counterterrorism operations.
According to him, Nigeria has spent billions of dollars on counterinsurgency efforts since 2010 with little to show due to alleged misappropriation by senior military and government officials.
“It is generally believed that most of the money meant for the counterterrorism and counterinsurgency efforts are diverted into private pockets,” he said.
Ali-Keffi alleged that investigations by OSW revealed large-scale money laundering by terrorism financing suspects acting on behalf of senior officials.
“The NFIU as part of the OSW observed huge sums of money being laundered by some of the terrorism financing suspects on behalf of senior government and military officials,” he said.
He added that some suspects operated bureau de change businesses as fronts for terrorism financing, adding that misapplication of funds meant for counterterrorism was as dangerous as direct terrorism financing.
“As I have come to understand in the course of the OSW project, misapplication of funds meant for counterterrorism is as bad as financing terrorism,” he said.
The Retired General also referenced a forensic audit reportedly ordered by the late Chief of Army Staff, Ibrahim Attahiru, shortly before his death in 2021.
He suggested that the audit could have exposed alleged financial misconduct within the military.
Ali-Keffi said OSW had gathered extensive evidence against 48 terrorism financing suspects, including intelligence from the United Arab Emirates and Western agencies.
“The OSW had overwhelming evidence against each of the 48 terrorism financing suspects in the custody of the Army,” he said.
He described the release of all the suspects without convictions as “beyond belief”.
“Only a thorough investigation of the OSW will reveal the truth regarding the freeing of the suspects,” he added.

The Kano State Government has announced that the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, will lead this year’s Eid-el-Fitr Durbar, even as it unveiled strict guidelines to prevent a breakdown of law and order during the celebrations.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
The government said the decision, approved by Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf, followed credible intelligence reports indicating attempts by some individuals to create unrest during the Sallah period.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by the Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Ibrahim Abdullahi Waiya, the government said it remained committed to preserving Kano’s cultural heritage but would prioritise peace and security.
According to the statement, Hawan Idi (Eid Durbar) will be conducted by Emir Sanusi from the Kofar Mata Eid Ground through designated routes to Gidan Shettima, terminating at Kofar Fatalwa of the emir’s palace.
It added that Hawan Nasarawa would be held in a modified form without horseback displays, while Hawan Daushe, Hawan Fanisau and Hawan Dorayi have been suspended for the time being in the interest of public safety.
The government said all security agencies had been directed to intensify surveillance and ensure strict compliance with the directives before, during and after the festive period.
It urged residents to remain calm, law-abiding and cooperative with security agencies, while cautioning against the spread of unverified information.
The government further assured the public of its commitment to a peaceful and hitch-free Sallah celebration, wishing Muslims in the state a joyous Eid-el-Fitr.
The Durbar, a centuries-old cultural procession, has been thrown into uncertainty following conflicting statements from government officials on whether it will hold this year, given the unresolved legal battle between Sanusi II and Aminu Ado Bayero.
While Governor Yusuf reinstated Sanusi II in 2024, Bayero continues to contest his dethronement in court, leaving the emirship in dispute.
The government recently hinted that the stool controversy would soon be resolved.

Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, has dismissed comments by human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, over what he described as transactional politics and activism.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
PUNCH Online reports that Sowore’s comment followed a viral video in which the activist criticised what he described as “transactional politics” among some regional agitators and influencers, accusing them of aligning with political actors for personal or material benefit.
In the video, Sowore appeared to reference Igboho, suggesting that his recent political positions, including support for President Bola Tinubu’s potential re-election bid, reflected what he termed “amala politics” — a colloquial expression often used to imply opportunistic or interest-driven engagement rather than principled activism.
Igboho, in a statement issued by his media aide, Olayomi Koiki, in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on Tuesday, criticised Sowore for allegedly describing his activism as “amala politics” in a recent viral video circulating on social media.
He described the comment as an inconsequential rant that should be ignored by the public.
Igboho argued that his agitation for improved security in the South-West and his support for the second-term bid of President Bola Tinubu in 2027 were constitutional rights aimed at promoting the collective interests of the Yoruba people and the development of Nigeria.
He said, “We strongly reject the characterisation of Igboho’s activism as transactional. Such a myopic position misrepresents the intent and focus of our agitation on effective grassroots security in the South-West and Nigeria as a whole.
“How many protests did Sowore organise to push for my freedom? Sowore’s claim of fighting for the masses contradicts his alleged daily lodging expenses of N450,000 at a popular Lagos hotel.
“I cannot be compelled to endorse political figures such as Peter Obi or Atiku Abubakar, or even align with Sowore’s political platform. I have the right to make independent political decisions based on the security and collective interests of the Yoruba people.”
He added that Igboho’s advocacy prioritises addressing insecurity across Yorubaland, including killings of farmers, kidnappings along highways and attacks on traditional rulers and royal institutions.
Koiki, however, clarified that these concerns form the basis of Igboho’s movement rather than any ambition for political office or revolutionary leadership.
The statement added, “While Sowore has consistently promoted nationwide revolution as a pathway to leadership, Igboho’s approach is rooted in protecting lives, land and property within Yoruba territory. This agitation is a response to real and ongoing threats faced by communities in the region.
“Latest security incidents in northern Nigeria, including reported explosions in Maiduguri on March 16, 2026, also raise questions about the broader effectiveness of long-term revolutionary advocacy.
“We challenge Sowore to assess the situation in his home state of Ondo State, considering the growing cases of banditry, kidnapping and attacks on rural communities.”
The statement added that the impact of insecurity on vulnerable groups, including farmers, traditional rulers, women and children, had been severe, with several communities reportedly affected.
“These realities reinforce Igboho’s long-standing call since 2020 for localised security measures and stronger regional protection strategies.
“Labelling our agitation and efforts as ‘amala politics’ undermines the urgency of the security crisis and the legitimacy of grassroots agitation,” the statement concluded

The continuous detention of the former governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has sparked reactions from politicians and socio-political activists.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
DAILY POST reports that the former governor has been in the custody of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, over an ongoing investigation into alleged financial impropriety when he was governor.
El-Rufai had earlier spent two nights in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, before he was picked up by the Department of State Services and then later handed over to the ICPC.
His continuous detention has sparked outrage among citizens who are calling on the commission to immediately charge the former governor to court.
Popular socio-political activist, Aisha Yesufu, said in a post on X that “holding a citizen indefinitely without trial” is impossible.
According to her, “that is not justice. That is not accountability. That begins to look like persecution.
“Every Nigerian, no matter how powerful or unpopular, has the right to a fair hearing. That right is not a favour from the government. It is a constitutional guarantee. If El-Rufai committed crimes, then prosecute him. Nigerians will support that. But what we must never
Support is a system where the government can detain anyone endlessly, simply because it can.
“Today, it may be El-Rufai. Tomorrow, it could be anyone else who speaks or acts in a way that those in power do not like. A democracy must be better than that.
“So the message is simple: charge him in court or release him. Let justice be done openly, lawfully, and transparently. That is the only way a nation that claims to respect the rule of law should act”.
Similarly, an activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, in an interview he posted on X on Wednesday, demanded that the former governor be charged to court immediately, condemning El-Rufai’s incarceration.
“No matter the allegations, I think he should be charged in a court of competent jurisdiction so that he can face the music.
“All these things currently going on don’t look tidy to me”, he said.
On his part, Paul Ibe, a media aide to the former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, lambasted ICPC for not charging the former governor to court.
In a statement on his X handle, Ibe accused the Commission of taking sides with the President Bola Tinubu-led administration.
He wrote, “The matter of the former Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai @elrufai has proven beyond measure that the ‘I’ in ICPC (Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission) @icpcnigeria represents Illegal or Irresponsible.
“There’s nothing Independent about the Commission. They’re no different from all the other institutions of state that are standing on Tinubu’s mandate. The ICPC is nauseatingly pliable and has disgracefully made itself available in coercing members of the opposition into the ruling party”!
