The Commissioner of Police in Kano State, CP Ibrahim Adamu Bakori, has issued a firm directive to his officers to launch aggressive operations against the menace of thuggery, known locally as Daba, in a renewed effort to restore lasting peace across the state.

The move came after a high-level security summit held on Friday, June 14, 2025, which brought together Area Commanders, Divisional Police Officers, as well as Tactical and Operational Commanders from across the state.

This is contained in a statement signed by DSP Abdullahi Hussaini, on behalf of the Commissioner of Police on Sunday.

Speaking during the meeting, CP Bakori declared an all-out offensive on criminal gangs and warned that thuggery would no longer be tolerated in any part of Kano.

“Thuggery will no longer be tolerated,” the police boss stated, urging his commanders to intensify operations and ensure such threats are “nipped in the bud.”

He further assured the people of Kano that, “they will continue to enjoy uninterrupted peace and security, enabling them to sleep with their two eyes closed.” To back his words with action, the Police Command announced a three-pronged strategy to stamp out criminal elements.

These include intelligence-led raids targeting known hideouts, stronger collaboration with community leaders to co-develop security solutions, and coordination with other security agencies to ensure a united response.

While the police ramp up enforcement, CP Bakori also made a passionate appeal to citizens to support security agencies by remaining vigilant and sharing timely information.

“Members of the public are urged to cooperate with the Police and report any suspicious activities to the nearest police station,” the statement read.

Residents can reach the police through the following emergency numbers: 08032419754, 08123821575, or 09029292926.

Benue killings: Tinubu’s impeachment should be topic of discussion – Aisha Yesufu

Activist, Aisha Yesufu, has said that the Nigerian Senate should be talking about impeaching President Bola Tinubu at this moment.

Yesufu, made popular by the Bring Back Our Girls, BBOG, movement, spoke while reacting to the incessant killings in Benue State.

The latest tragedy in the frequent attacks on Benue communities occurred in Yelewata on Friday night as suspected armed herdsmen launched a deadly attack around 10: 00 pm, leaving several people dead and many others injured.

The State Police Command later confirmed the attack, saying that suspected bandits invaded the community in the early hours of Saturday.

The police added that tactical teams deployed to the area responded swiftly and engaged the attackers in a fierce gun battle.

Many feared dead as suspected herdsmen strike Yelewata, Benue

President Bola Tinubu has said little or nothing about the killings going on in Benue State. He has yet to visit the state or sympathise with the victims.

However, Aisha Yesufu was angered by the President swift reaction to the recent plane crash that left over 200 people dead in India.

“Tinubu is sitting down there gloating over the deaths of Nigerians whose mandate he truncated to occupy the office of the C-in-C and instead of Tinubu’s impeachment to be the topic of discussion, who is supposed to OWN a political party is the main topic!” She wrote on X.

“Tinubu condoled with India and not with Benue.”

Benue is under the leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Benue killings: Parents besiege school, demand release of children

Benue killings: Parents besiege school, demand release of children

Many parents have besieged the Government Special Science Senior Secondary School, North Bank, Uni Agric Road, Makurdi, to take their children home for safety over the escalating insecurity in Benue State.

Recall that over 200 people were massacred by Fulani herdsmen in Yelellewata – a community which is twenty minutes drive from the school.

Parents of the students besieged the school gate to demand the release of their children so they can take them home due to lack of security in the school.

DAILY POST gathered that the management of the school had earlier written to the Ministry of Education demanding security at the school, long before the resumption for the current academic term, but nothing has been done.

A parent who spoke on condition of anonymity said the school had sent a ‎reminder to the Ministry after the kidnapping of students at the nearby Joseph Tarka University Makurdi, JOSTUM.

“Just last week, suspected herdsmen attacked the host community of the school with several lives lost and the whole community is now deserted,” the parent said.

He added that during the last visiting day, parents could see cows grazing within the school premises as part of the perimeter fence behind the school had collapsed.

This has raised serious concern about safety of the students.

He said the ‎school management should do the right thing by shutting down the school pending when the security situation around the area improves.

“‎Let’s avoid the repeat of what happened at JOSTUM or the Chibok and Dapchi girls’ scenario here in Benue State,” the distraught parent insisted.

War: Iran asks Cyprus to send message to Israel

Cyprus leader, President Nikos Christodoulides, has disclosed that Iran has requested that they (Cyprus) convey a message to Israel.

Christodoulides said his country was willing to carry out the assignment amid an escalating conflict between Iran and Israel.

Iran and Israel’s missile strikes were visible to the naked eye across Cyprus overnight.

Speaking to journalists, the President said he will call the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu on telephone later on Sunday.

“The telephone communications will continue. Let me remind you that we were asked by Iran to convey some messages to Israel, so, today, I will speak with [Netanyahu],” he said.

He said the meeting between him and Netanyahu was supposed to hold last night but was put on hold due to the counter attacks by the two nations.

The Cyprus President went on to say that he is also going to speak with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen later in the day.

President of the United States of America, Donald Trump on Sunday said that his country was ready to begin peace talks between Israel and Iran to bring the bloody conflict to an end.

The US leader however, warned Iran against any attack on America or its citizens, adding that such a move could lead to a devastating effects.

Iran and Israel started attacking each other late last week after months of growing tension between the two nations.

Iran vs Israel war: I do a lot but never get credit – Trump complains

Iran vs Israel war: I do a lot but never get credit – Trump complains

President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, has complained that he has done a lot amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran but never gets credit.

Trump said this while boasting that he has been at the center of multiple international conflicts across the world.

In a post on his Truth Social account on Sunday, Trump also expressed hope that peace will be restored between Israel and Iran soon.

The US leader said: “Iran and Israel should make a deal, and will make a deal, just like I got India and Pakistan to make, in that case by using TRADE with the United States to bring reason, cohesion, and sanity into the talks with two excellent leaders who were able to quickly make a decision and STOP!

“Also, during my first term, Serbia and Kosovo were going at it hot and heavy, as they have for many decades, and this long time conflict was ready to break out into WAR.”

Without providing evidence, Trump added, “I stopped it (Biden has hurt the longer term prospects with some very stupid decisions, but I will fix it, again!). Another case is Egypt and Ethiopia, and their fight over a massive dam that is having an effect on the magnificent Nile River.

“There is peace, at least for now, because of my intervention, and it will stay that way! Likewise, we will have PEACE, soon, between Israel and Iran! Many calls and meetings now taking place. I do a lot, and never get credit for anything, but that’s OK, the PEOPLE understand.”

This is coming less than 24 hours after Trump aimed a threat at Iran amid the country’s conflict with Israel.

DAILY POST recalls that the Israeli military carried out dozens of airstrikes on Iran killing most of the country’s top military officials on Thursday night.

Iran has since retaliated, firing hundreds of different ballistic missiles towards Israel, killing at least three people, as Israel claimed.
