Journalist Hassan Wuyo: Borno Youth warns Kaduna Gov elect, Uba Sani
By: Our Reporter
Youth groups from Borno State have warned Kaduna Governor elect, Senator Uba Sani that should anything happens to Journalist Ibrahim Hassan Wuyo, he would be held responsible.
They called on Governor Zulum of Borno State, Senator Ali Ndume, NSA Munguno and other notable Nigerians of Borno extraction to advise Senator Uba Sani to desist from harassing Hassan Wuyo or any other Journalists practicing in Kaduna State.
According to the youth group in a statement signed by Aliyu Ishak ,Ibrahim Hassan Wuyo had told them that they were in the process of reconciliation but some close associates came into the matter with an intent for blackmail.
Recall that the Governor elect harrased, intimidated and threatened the Journalists who worked for Vanguard Media.
Kaduna, the youth said, was home to all Borno indigenes since even the Government House was named and called after an illustrious son of Borno, Sir Kashim Ibrahim of blessed memory.
In a related development, Kaduna based publisher of Borno extraction, Adamu Garba Askira, in a statement entitled ” Kaduna based veteran journalist Hassan Wuyo life threatened. Borno indigenes warn Kaduna Governor -elect Senator Uba Sani”, stated that “the 2023 general election has come and gone, leaving winners and their henchmen in jubilation well losers in political trauma .
“Although, in the course of politicking in the build up to the general election, politician’s seeking for elective positions and their supporters always turned deft and blind seeing any person or people that are not doing eyes services to them as enemies of progress ,more especially journalists that are constitutionally empowered to discharge their social responsibilities.”
“This was exactly what entangled a Kaduna based veteran journalist and Correspondent of Vanguard Newspaper and indigene of Borno State, Hassan Ibrahim Wuyo to be in bad book of Kaduna Governor-elect, Senator Uba Sani.”
“Whether, one looks at Hassan Wuyo’s journalistic antecedence,,he is among the few brilliant and professional journalists that only loves the profession, not because of what he will earn.”
“When reporting issues especially of human angle story he always ensures a balance reportage in line within ethical and journalistic standard.”
“Personally the Kaduna Governor-elect Senator Uba Sani and the veteran journalists Wuyo have never ever have axe to grind, but based on the later balance reporting on political happenings, coupled with his zero sycophancy in his practice, could be one of the main reasons that prompted some of the Governor-elect supporters to create waves of frictions among them leading to lithreats.”
“Against this backdrop, we the Borno Youth are warning the Kaduna Governor-elect, Senator Uba Sani and his co-traveller to see Wuyo as progressive journalists who meant well for the state and nation at large not as fifth Columnists.”
“We call on the security agencies to ensure his life and that of all journalists are well protected in the state.”

Russia Strengthens Strategic Ties with Sahel States Amid Geopolitical Shifts
By: Zagazola Makama
Russia has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening ties with Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger, as Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov hosted his counterparts from the three Sahel states in Moscow. The high-level meeting signals deepening cooperation in security, economic development, and diplomatic coordination, amid shifting global alliances and the growing influence of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES).
The discussions, held in a quadrilateral format for the first time, focused on enhancing military collaboration, investment opportunities, and regional security strategies. Lavrov welcomed the delegation, emphasizing Russia’s support for the sovereignty of the three nations as they seek to assert independence in their policymaking and security frameworks.
“We appreciate the determination of your countries to build a new regional security architecture based on your own strengths while remaining open to mutually beneficial cooperation,” Lavrov said. He commended the “dynamic integration” efforts within the AES and highlighted ongoing projects in trade, finance, infrastructure, and human resource development.
The visit comes amid rising geopolitical tensions and the Sahel states’ increasing shift away from Western partnerships. Following military takeovers in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger, the three countries have strengthened ties with Russia, particularly in military cooperation and counterterrorism efforts. They have also distanced themselves from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), forming the AES as a regional bloc focused on collective security and economic cooperation.
Lavrov noted that Russia is ready to support the AES beyond bilateral engagements, stating that collaboration would extend to international platforms, including the Russia-Africa Forum. The next ministerial meeting of the forum is expected to take place in Africa later this year, ahead of the 2026 Russia-Africa Summit.
In his remarks, Mali’s Foreign Minister, Abdoulaye Diop, reaffirmed his country’s commitment to strengthening ties with Russia, underscoring the importance of strategic alliances in addressing security and development challenges.
The meeting marks a new phase in Russia’s engagement with Africa, particularly in regions seeking alternative partnerships. As the global political landscape evolves, the AES-Russia partnership is expected to influence security dynamics and economic cooperation in the Sahel and beyond.
