The New Madakin Tikau Commits to Rules and Regulations Governing Emirate Council

By: Yahaya Wakili

The new Madaki of Tikau emirate council in Yobe state, Alhaji Aliyu Saleh Bagare, has promised to abide by all the rules and regulations governing the emirate council.

Alhaji Aliyu Saleh Bagare, who is also the former deputy governor of Yobe State, disclosed this at Garin Kaduwa while receiving a letter of his upgrading him from Turaki to Madaki of Tikau.

He thanked Almighty Allah for showing us the day of October 24th, 2023, and also thanked His Royal Highness, the emir of Tikau, Alhaji (Dr) Muhammadu Abubakar Ibn Grema LLD, for upgrading him from Turaki to Madaki of Tikau.

“I assure him that I will not be found guilty of any misconduct; I will abide by the rules and regulations governing the emirate council, because serving the people is not a new thing to me. I work in the civil service, rose to the rank of director, and later retired and joined politics, where I became the deputy governor of Yobe State for 8 years.

“By the grace of God, at that time, I discharge my responsibility diligently; they didn’t find me with any misconduct, they didn’t find me with corruption, and I am among the best loyal deputy governors in Nigeria; I work and finish peacefully with my boss.” He said.

Therefore, as I was loyal to the emirate at the time I was Turaki, I will do more than that as the new Madaki of the Tikau emirate, and I promise not to work for the emirate. Instead, I will work in politics, which His Excellency Governor Mai Mala Buni assigned me to do, and I will do my job with honesty and justice.

The new madaki further revealed that I am in the emirate since I am a small boy. I grow there and started my primary school in Nangere. Later, I completed it at Sabon Gari Primary School in Potiskum, went to Teachers College Potiskum, and later on proceeded to ABU Zaria Institute of Administration to obtain a diploma in accounting.

He thanked the royal father and the members of the emirate council, especially the Chiroman Tikau, Alhaji Ibrahim Talba CON. By the grace of God, I will justify my confidence response by trying my best to move the emirate forward.

Alhaji Aliyu Saleh Bagare prays to Almighty Allah to continue to bless and upgrade the Tikau emirate council and command the emir, Alhaji (Dr) Muhammadu Abubakar Ibn Grema, in his effort to upgrade the image of the emirate, especially in promoting the religion in the emirate.

“He promised to continue supporting the effort of the emir in enlightening the people on the religion of God, adding that what Allah gives you in the world, he will ask you in heaven. God blessed Tikau emirate council; God blessed Nangere local government area; God blessed Yobe state; and God blessed the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

Two Forest Security Guard Members arrested in Ogun for extortion, illegal possession of firearms

By: Zagazola Makama

Two men claiming to be members of the Nigeria Forest Security Services (NFSS) have been arrested in Sagamu, Ogun State, for illegal possession of firearms and extortion of motorists.

Zagazola Makama report that the arrest was made on Dec. 28, 2025, at about 8:32 p.m. following a report that three men dressed in security uniforms were sighted along Ikenne Road, near the NYSC Orientation Camp, collecting money from motorists while visibly armed with hunter-style guns.

Upon receiving the information, operatives from the Sagamu Division raced to the scene and apprehended two suspects: Emmanuel Idu, 55, and Sunday Moses, 35. A third suspect, identified as Oyilo David, 35, fled the scene and is currently at large.

During preliminary interrogation, the arrested men claimed to be attached to the Sagamu NFSS unit operating along Agbele Road by Otunba Gbenga Daniel Market. They also stated that the locally fabricated guns recovered from them were issued by a Commander Kehinde Joseph, allegedly supervising their operations.

In addition to the firearms, security operatives recovered one unexpended cartridge and the sum of ₦1,000 in ₦200 denominations from the suspects.

Authorities disclosed that one of the suspects had previously been implicated in a motorcycle theft case in Abeokuta, where the stolen motorcycle was recovered, and charges were filed in court.

The suspects have been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID), Abeokuta, for further investigation.

Troops neutralise key Boko Haram commanders in Bama airstrikes

By: Zagazola Makama

Troops of Operation Hadin Kai, supported by Nigerian Army and Nigerian Air Force platforms, have neutralised several key Boko Haram terrorist commanders during coordinated airstrikes in Bama Local Government Area of Borno State.

Sources told Zagazola Makama that the airstrikes were conducted on Dec. 25, 2025, following actionable human intelligence on terrorist movements in the area.

According to the sources, no fewer than 10 Boko Haram terrorists were killed in the initial airstrike. Those neutralised included Abul Kaka, Ibn Mu’azu, Abu Muhammad, Ba Alhaji, Bakura, Modu, Abu Hassan, Kaka Alai, Abba Yakariye and Bamusa.

The sources further disclosed that another terrorist, identified as Ubaida, sustained serious injuries during the strike.

The sources added that a subsequent follow-up strike by Nigerian Air Force assets led to the instant killing of three additional terrorists.

Security sources confirmed that the majority of the neutralised fighters were loyal to Bafu, a notorious Boko Haram commander operating in the Bama axis.

An assessment of the operation indicated a significant degradation of Boko Haram’s fighting capability in Bama, particularly among elements under Bafu’s command, as a direct outcome of the sustained air campaign.

The sources noted that while the general security situation in the area remains calm, it is still considered unpredictable due to the fluid nature of insurgent activities.
