By: Michael Mike

Four suspects who were allegedly involved in illegal possession of firearm, gunrunning, kidnapping, banditry and Job racketeering have been arrested by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).

Babawale said three among the suspects all male gave their names as Umar Ibrahim, 35 years, Nura Abubakar, 20 years and Mohammed Sule 20 years. They were all arrested at Ukoso Komva Ward, Wamba Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.

He added that upon Interrogations three of the suspects claimed that they were deceived into the crime by one Ali who is currently at large as he earlier invited them to assist him with the sales of fire arms in his possession.

He said: “They were however apprehended on their way to deliver it to the buyer”.

The spokesman said, in their separate but similar confessional statements, they called on those with intention to indulge in the dastardly act to desist as they pleaded for mercy.

He added that a volunteer with the Nigerian Forest Security Services, Lar Changkur was arrested in Bauchi State over allegedly involvement in gunrunning.

He noted that the suspect equally called on those with such thoughts to desist forthwith while pleading for leniency.

Babawale said the CG’s SIS has also arrested a 62-year-old called Felix Clerkson for his involvement in job racketeering.

He noted that during preliminary Investigation, over 120 fake letters of appointment into the NSCDC. were recovered.

Clerkson, who was picked up at Nasarawa Eggon in Nasarawa Eggon Local Government Area of Nasarawa State following a tip off, admitted to have defrauded desperate and unsuspecting victims to the whopping sum of over N26 million.

Babawale said: “Our ongoing investigation however revealed that the suspect has swindled his victims to the tune of fifty-five million Naira (N55,000,000:00) part of which he shared with his accomplices currently at large but are being trailed by our men.

“All the suspects are to be charged to court on completion of investigation.

He noted that the CG SIS was established by the CG Audi-led administration and headed by Commandant Dandaura Appollos, the CG’s Special Intelligence Squad has so far made significant successes in the fight against oil theft by confronting illegal bunkering, power and telecommunication vandals, Railway vandals, kidnappers, bandits and other criminal elements involved in nefarious acts across the federation.

By: Abidoye Olusegun

The Commander Infantry Corps (CIC) Major General Abdul Khalifah Ibrahim OFR has assured the Commandant DEPOT Nigerian Army ( NA) of the Infantry Corps’ continued support to the DEPOT NA. The CIC gave the assurance today Wednesday 5 February 2025 during the courtesy visit of the Commandant DEPOT NA, Major General Ahmadu Mohammed to the Headquarters Infantry Corps Centre (HQ ICC).

In his remarks, the CIC congratulated the Commandant on his appointment as the Commandant DEPOT NA, describing the appointment as a well deserved product of hard work and merit given the Commandant’s antecedents in staff, command and instructional capacities, adding that that he was very optimistic that the Commandant would make the NA proud.

Major General Ibrahim said the training collaboration request made by the Commandant was a welcome development on the part of the Infantry, saying the Corps would liase with the Army Headquarters for the formalization of the approval. He added that more Infantry instructors would be identified and posted into the institution as requested by the Commandant.

The CIC further stated that efforts are ongoing to reposition the Infantry Corps. He lauded the achievements of the immediate past CIC, who is the current Chief of Army Staff, promising to build on the achievements.

Major General Ibrahim noted a gradual improvement in the nation’s security, charging all officers and infantry units to work harder to sustain and improve on this. He however encouraged all infantry officers to look inward to Jaji emphasizing that Jaji is the home of the Infantry.

Speaking earlier in his remarks, the Commandant DEPOT NA, Major General Ahmadu Mohammed congratulated the CIC on his appointment as the Commander of the Infantry Corps and thanked the CIC for the warm reception given to him and his entourage.

The Chief Buffalo stated that he came to HQ ICC to request the CIC inputs where the CIC deems it necessary on the training programme to enhance training of recruits in the DEPOT NA.

He said he looked up to the CIC’s advice as a mentor and senior colleague who would want him to succeed.

The Commandant requested for a combined training exercise between the DEPOT NA and the Nigerian Army School of Infantry, saying the combined training exercise would expose the recruits to what operations is all about at the section,platoon, battalion and brigade level with their future officers playing their roles. He also requested posting of instructors from the Corps to the DEPOT NA to ameliorating challenges facing the institution.

The courtesy visit was graced by the Chief of Staff HQ ICC, Brigadier General Kasim Sidi , Acting Director Research and Development, Col Sani Mohammed as well as other Staff Officers of the HQ ICC and DEPOT NA.

Highlights of the visit were exchange of souvenirs between the CIC and the Commandant , signing of the visitors book and group photographs to conclude the visit.

NIS to Launch Contactless Passport Solution in Europe on February 7

By: Michael Mike

Comptroller General, Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS), Mrs. Kemi Nandap has announced that NIS is set to launch the contactless passport application solution in Europe, with UK serving as the coordinating centre on February 7.

The Comptroller General made the announcement on Tuesday when she paid a courtesy call on Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa at NiDCOM headquarters in Abuja.

She said: “This initiative set for launch on 7th of February 2025 will enable Nigerians in the Diaspora to apply for and renew their passports online from the comfort of their homes.”

Nandap reiterated that the innovative solution is designed to simplify the passport application process for Diaspora, save time, and reduce costs associated with travelling to apply for passport.

She, however, said that the initiative is not for fresh applicants or minors but for those renewing their passports.

She said Nigerians living abroad can start the process of renewing their passports a year to its expiration.

Nandap commended NIDCOM for being a dependable partner and ally in advocacy in giving awareness to its programmes and policies, especially as it affects Nigerians living abroad.

The Comptroller General said that President Bola Tinubu has given them the marching order to make life easier for Nigerians in the diaspora, saying the Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has in the meantime approved a passport processing facility for New York, to address the backlog and bring experience there.

She added that passport front offices will soon be opened in other parts of the US and other countries.

Responding to the news, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, commended the laudable initiative, which aligns with the Commission’s mandate to support and facilitate diaspora engagement.

“The launch of the contactless passport application solution in Europe is a significant step towards efficient, secure, and convenient travel document management for Nigerians in the diaspora. NiDCOM will continue to support, monitor and collaborate with the NIS to ensure the success of this initiative” she added.

She commended the Interior Minister, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo and the Comptroller General for the innovations introduced, noting that the contactless application has since taken off in Canada with commendations from Nigerians in Canada.
