Image
  Soldiers from Sector 2 of the Joint Task Force North West, spearheading Operation FANSAN YAMMA, have orchestrated a remarkable series of tactical victories across Sokoto State. In a stunning display of operational prowess, these forces have liberated 23 captive individuals from the clutches of terrorists, dismantled multiple attack plots, and apprehended four suspected operatives of the notorious Lakurawa terrorist organization through coordinated missions. Lieutenant Colonel Aliyu Danja, the Media Information Officer for the Joint Task Force North West under Operation FANSAN YAMMA, unveiled these triumphant results to journalists through an official communiqué released on Monday. Executed with precision on September 20, 2026, these dynamic operations additionally yielded the recovery of six head of cattle that terrorists had pilfered. Within Wurno Local Government Area, military personnel swiftly mobilized in response to a ferocious assault on Sabon Gari, where insurgents had pe...

White House Blocks Entry to CNN, MS NOW and Politico Journalists Saturday

Image
Journalists representing CNN, MS NOW, and POLITICO experienced the painful reality of restricted access when their press credentials were deactivated and they were prevented from entering the White House complex on Saturday, September 19, 2026, following a directive issued by President Donald Trump. President Donald Trump's administration began enforcing restrictions against CNN , MS NOW, and Politico after the president determined these organizations would be barred from the White House campus, citing what he characterized as "constant reporting FAKE NEWS". Security personnel and Secret Service officers compassionately but firmly deactivated and confiscated press badges as correspondents arrived for work on Saturday morning, an action that understandably prompted swift condemnation from press freedom advocates and legal experts who recognized it as unconstitutional. As reporters arrived at the security gates on Saturday morning, they discovered their physical access ha...

Manchester United held to a 1-1 draw by Fulham

Image
Manchester United secured a late 1-1 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday, September 20, 2026. An unfortunate, farcical own goal by Manchester United defender Lisandro Martínez in the 63rd minute initially provided Fulham with the lead. Martínez inadvertently deflected the ball past his own goalkeeper, Senne Lammens, following Lammens' save of an effort from Calvin Bassey. Underperforming for much of the match under manager Michael Carrick, United managed to obtain a point in the 89th minute when Matheus Cunha struck a shot from distance. His effort received a substantial deflection off Fulham defender David Affengruber and surpassed goalkeeper Bernd Leno, leaving the hosts disappointed. The draw leaves Manchester United without a victory in three matches across all competitions, positioned 12th in the Premier League table heading into the international break. Meanwhile, Álvaro Arbeloa's Fulham remains without a league victory this season but managed to ascend off th...

Brentford Overrun Struggling Chelsea with a 3-0 Victory

Image
The 3-0 loss to Brentford on Friday evening presents Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso with substantial concerns regarding his team's organizational coherence. Although Chelsea demonstrated offensive ambition in the opening stages, the unavailability of injured key forward Joao Pedro significantly diminished their finishing precision, while defensive frailties precipitated a complete collapse during the second period. Jaidon Anthony broke the deadlock in the 61st minute following a Mikkel Damsgaard set piece. This represented the fifth set-piece goal Chelsea has surrendered thus far this campaign, indicating a fundamental structural vulnerability when defending from dead-ball situations. As Chelsea committed additional players forward in pursuit of an equalizer, Brentford capitalized with clinical efficiency. Igor Thiago concluded his goal-scoring drought in the 82nd minute, and substitute Fabio Carvalho secured a third during the closing moments. Following this defeat, Alonso joined an ...

37 Suspected Illegal Miners Die While Held by Authorities in Northwest Nigeria.

Image
Thirty-seven individuals suspected of illegal mining tragically lost their lives while in the custody of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Niger State, Nigeria, during September 2026, following a comprehensive detention operation. These heartbreaking deaths occurred shortly after security personnel conducted a two-day enforcement action targeting unauthorized mining activities, during which numerous individuals were apprehended. Although civil defense officials initially attributed the devastating loss to a sudden health crisis, investigative reports and accounts from survivors suggest that severe overcrowding combined with inadequate ventilation within the detention facility may have led to asphyxiation among the detainees.  The tragedy sparked understandable community outrage, with residents of Minna, the state capital, taking to the streets in protest. In response, the state governor declared a three-day period of mourning, initiated disciplinary action ag...

Image
The Federal Government and organised labour have reached an agreement to conduct a two-week examination of the King's College, Lagos concession arrangement in response to concerns regarding the proposed Public-Private Partnership (PPP).  The discussion, presided over by the Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, included participation from the Minister of State for Education, Prof. Suwaiba Said Ahmad, and the Acting Permanent Secretary, Dr Folake Olatunji David.

Following this consultation, ASCSN declared the cessation of its industrial action regarding apprehensions about the proposed concession framework and instructed personnel in Federal Unity Colleges across the nation to return to their regular responsibilities.

WHO notes progress in Congo Ebola response but warns of surge in eastern region

Image
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus declared on September 16, 2026, that containment initiatives targeting the Ebola crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are demonstrating promising momentum, with transmission rates declining across sections of Ituri province—yet authorities emphasize the outbreak remains substantially uncontrolled. “We are starting to see encouraging signs that we’re gaining ground,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told a news conference in Geneva. The DRC has documented over 7,000 confirmed Ebola cases spanning seven provinces throughout this ongoing epidemic. The outbreak stems from the uncommon Bundibugyo virus, which presents distinctive intervention obstacles. While transmission is decelerating in the outbreak's core region within Ituri province and South Kivu has experienced zero new cases since May, health organizations remain apprehensive regarding extensive population movement and intensifying complications in adjacent regions such as N...
