ADC Tells Tinubu: Kwara Mass Ki1lings Exposes Your Failure, “Government Approach Redistributing Terror”
ADC Tells Tinubu: Kwara mass ki1lings exposes your failure, “Government approach redistributing terror”. The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has condemned the ki1ling of about 170 people in Kwara State, describing the attack as evidence of a total collapse of security under the Tinubu-led Federal Government.
In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party questioned what had become of the President’s declaration of a state of emergency on security and the promised recruitment of thousands of police officers, noting that the continued mass ki1lings suggest those measures were either ineffective or were mere declarations in the first place.
The party also wondered whether the heightened security activities seen last year in the aftermath of the comments by the U.S. President was mere posturing to earn international approval rather than genuine efforts to end insecurity in the country.
According to the ADC, the scale and frequency of ki1lings across the country since then has shown that whatever measures the government has taken since then is not working, indicating that government approach is merely redistributing terror rather than eliminating it.
The full statement read:
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) condemns in the strongest possible terms the recent gruesome ki1ling of about 170 innocent Nigerians in Kaiama Local Government Area of Kwara State.
This horrific massacre is one of the worst atrocities recorded in recent times and stands as a painful reminder of the complete collapse of security across the country. We extend our deepest condolences to the families of the victims and to the people of Kwara State, who have once again been abandoned to mourn their dead in a nation that appears incapable of protecting its citizens.
As many analysts have noted, what makes this tragedy even more troubling are growing concerns that the perpetrators may be part of terrorist elements recently dispersed by the United States Christmas-Day military action in Sokoto State, who are now relocating to other states due to weak internal security coordination.
The net summary of this, which has now become self-evident from this industrial scale ki1lings in areas hitherto considered safe, is that the Tinubu administration, whatever it is doing, is not winning the war against terror, it is merely redistributing it.
Whether it is the mass abductions in Kaduna or the mass ki1lings in Kwara, both highlights the deep structural failures of Nigeria’s nternal security system in terms of intelligence gathering, border control, inter-agency collaboration, and emergency response capability.
Nigerians are therefore compelled to ask serious questions. What happened to the President’s much-publicised declaration of a state of emergency on security announced in November 2025? Was it a sincere commitment to restoring safety, or was it merely a rhetorical response to rising international and home-grown public anger?
The ADC also recalls that the Presidency announced a major recruitment drive into the Nigeria Police Force as part of this emergency response. Tens of thousands of new personnel were reportedly approved for recruitment to strengthen internal security nationwide. Nigerians are entitled to know what has become of that promise.
Have these recruits been employed, trained, and deployed, or has the exercise quietly stalled? If such measures were genuinely implemented, vulnerable rural communities like those in Kwara State should not be left completely exposed to mass slaughter.
We are equally disturbed by the pattern of performative security responses witnessed last year, when Nigeria suddenly projected an image of firmness following public comments and tweets by the President of the United States drawing attention to insecurity in the country. That brief display of urgency has since faded, raising legitimate concerns that the initial response was more about impressing foreign observers than about securing the lives of Nigerians.
ADC, Tinubu
The painful truth is that Nigeria’s security crisis has clearly moved beyond the competence and capacity of the Tinubu-led Federal Government. Across the country, ki1lings have become routine, accountability has disappeared, and government response has been reduced to condolences and condemnations in the aftermath of each tragedy, conveniently forgetting that a government that cannot safeguard the lives of its people has failed in its most fundamental duty.
The African Democratic Congress therefore calls on the Federal Government to immediately come clean with Nigerians on the true state of Nigeria’s national security, to account for the security recruitment it announced, and to explain how it intends to stop the spread and relocation of terrorist groups across states.
Nigeria cannot continue on this path of denial and inaction. Lives are not statistics, and governance is not public relations.
The ADC stands firmly with Nigerians in demanding competent leadership, honest governance, and a security strategy that protects lives rather than reacts after mass graves have been dug.
Lagos Governor Sanwo-Olu Hails Tinubu’s State Police Bill, Praises Senate
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has congratulated President Bola Tinubu following the Senate’s passage of the constitutional amendment bill seeking the establishment of state police.

Mr Sanwo-Olu, in a statement on Thursday, described the Senate’s approval of the bill’s 26 clauses as a landmark development in Nigeria’s democratic and security evolution.
The Lagos governor said the passage of the bill represented one of the most significant reforms of the nation’s security architecture, with the potential to strengthen grassroots policing and improve public safety.
The governor described the parliamentary approval as “epochal”, saying the development further demonstrated Mr Tinubu’s long-standing commitment to true federalism and progressive governance in Nigeria.
“Today is a great day for our country and a moment to celebrate the triumph of genuine democratic and developmental ideas over parochial sentiments,” Mr Sanwo-Olu said.
According to him, the president has consistently championed the creation of state police since serving as governor of Lagos between 1999 and 2007, despite resistance from various quarters.
“State police have been top of mind for President Tinubu since 1999, when he governed Lagos. We are happy to witness its emergence in Nigeria today,” Mr Sanwo-Olu said.
Mr Sanwo-Olu said the proposed state police structure would boost efforts to combat terrorism, banditry, kidnapping and other criminal activities threatening national development and stability.
The governor commended the president’s vision, resilience and unwavering dedication to reforms aimed at deepening federalism and improving governance outcomes across the federation.
State Police
The governor also praised the Senate for what he described as a historic decision and urged state houses of assembly to expedite consideration and passage of the bill.
“The Senate has made history with this bold step. I urge the state assemblies to follow suit and ensure this important constitutional amendment becomes a reality,” he said.

Nigeria Champions Global Air Power Cooperation At SICOFAA Symposium In The Dominican Republic
The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, has reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to advancing international air power cooperation while representing the nation in his dual capacity as Chief of the Air Staff of the Nigerian Air Force and Chairman of the Association of African Air Forces (AAAF) at the SICOFAA Symposium in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.

Addressing a distinguished gathering of Air Chiefs, senior military leaders and strategic partners from across the Americas and Africa, the CAS underscored the importance of strengthening global partnerships to address emerging security challenges.
His participation at the high-level forum further highlights Nigeria’s growing recognition as a key contributor to international peace, security and defence cooperation.
Speaking on the symposium’s theme, Air Marshal Aneke observed that today’s evolving security environment, characterised by terrorism, transnational crime, humanitarian crises and natural disasters, requires greater innovation, interoperability and strategic collaboration among Air Forces worldwide.
He noted that the AAAF continues to serve as a vital platform for promoting professional excellence, capacity building and the exchange of best practices across the African continent while fostering stronger partnerships with like-minded organisations such as SICOFAA.
He also identified opportunities for deeper cooperation in joint exercises, air mobility, search and rescue, aerospace medicine, logistics support and disaster response operations, all aimed at enhancing collective operational effectiveness.
The CAS further highlighted the planned African Air Forces Field Training Exercise scheduled for Kenya in 2027 as a landmark initiative that will strengthen readiness for joint security and humanitarian operations involving African Air Forces and selected international partners.
NAF
Reaffirming the Nigerian Air Force’s commitment to promoting collective security, professional excellence and enduring global partnerships, Air Marshal Aneke called on participants to translate their deliberations into practical outcomes that would deepen trust, strengthen interoperability and enhance international air power cooperation.
His engagement at the symposium not only reinforces the Nigerian Air Force’s strategic role on the global stage but also projects Nigeria’s positive image as a dependable partner committed to fostering peace, stability and collaborative security across regions.

NPF Classifies False Banditry Narrative In Viral Katsina Video, Reaffirms Partnership With Community Security Volunteers
NPF Classifies False Banditry Narrative In Viral Katsina Video, Reaffirms Partnership With Community Security Volunteers
The Nigeria Police Force categorically disclaims the false and misleading narrative accompanying a viral video circulating on social media which alleges that a uniformed police officer was seen interacting with armed bandits in Katsina State.
Eereporter.com
For the avoidance of doubt, the individuals featured in the video are not bandits. They are duly recognized members of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria (VGN) and registered hunters who are actively supporting ongoing security operations in collaboration with security agencies in Musawa and Matazu Local Government Areas of Katsina State.
The video captured a routine interaction between a police officer and these security volunteers as they proceeded to a designated operational area in support of efforts to combat criminality and enhance public safety. Any claim suggesting otherwise is entirely false, malicious, and intended to mislead the public.
The Nigeria Police Force strongly condemns the deliberate distortion of facts and the circulation of misinformation capable of causing public anxiety, undermining confidence in security institutions, and frustrating ongoing security operations.
Members of the public are urged to disregard the misleading claims attached to the video and rely only on information disseminated through official channels of the Nigeria Police Force and other authorized government sources.
The Force warns individuals and groups engaged in the creation, publication, or dissemination of false information capable of prejudicing public peace and security to desist immediately, as appropriate legal action may be taken against violators.
Fake Video
The Nigeria Police Force remains committed to working with legitimate community-based security stakeholders and other relevant partners in the collective effort to protect lives, safeguard communities, and combat crime across the country.
