CAS Commends Troops For Lassa Student Rescue, Directs Sustained Pressure On Terrorists

The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sunday Kelvin Aneke, has commended personnel of the Air Component of Operation HADIN KAI and their land counterparts for the successful rescue of abducted students and teachers following the terrorist attack on Government Day Secondary School, Lassa, in Askira/Uba Local Government Area of Borno State.

The CAS described the operation as a testament to the effectiveness of intelligence-driven joint military operations in protecting innocent Nigerians and sustaining pressure on terrorist elements.

He particularly lauded the swift deployment of Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) assets, alongside timely air support, which disrupted the terrorists’ movement and enabled ground troops to engage the fleeing insurgents and rescue the victims. According to one of the rescued victims, Mr Paul Namaske, Vice Principal of Government Day Secondary School, Lassa, the arrival of the military aircraft forced the terrorists to scatter, allowing the abducted teachers and students to escape as troops advanced on the terrorists’ position.

The CAS noted that the victim’s account further validates the critical role of air power in modern counter-terrorism operations, particularly when effectively integrated with ground manoeuvre forces.

While commending the courage, professionalism and sacrifice of the troops involved in the operation, Air Marshal Aneke paid tribute to the gallant soldier of Operation HADIN KAI and the member of the Civilian Joint Task Force who paid the supreme sacrifice during the rescue mission. He extended his heartfelt condolences to their families and affirmed that their sacrifice will continue to inspire the Armed Forces of Nigeria in the defence of the nation.

The Commissioner of Police for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), CP Ahmed Muhammed Sanusi, has issued a strong warning to police officers against extorting commercial tricycle operators, motorists and other residents of Abuja.

Speaking during an address to officers, Sanusi said any policeman found collecting illegal money from members of the public would be regarded as a criminal rather than a law enforcement officer.

According to him, “You cannot be both a police officer and a thief. We don’t want to receive any reports of officers extorting keke riders or motorists in Abuja. The day we receive such complaints against you, you are a thief.”

The police commissioner stressed that the duty of officers is to protect lives and property, enforce the law professionally and treat members of the public with respect. He warned that the FCT Police Command would not tolerate harassment, intimidation or any form of unprofessional conduct by its personnel.

EFCC Boss Olukoyede Charges Officers On Integrity, Institutional Rebranding

The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr. Ola Olukoyede has charged officers of the Commission to uphold integrity, competence and transparency and be worthy ambassadors as the anti-graft agency embarks on rebranding.
Eereporter.com

He gave the charge on Saturday, June 27, 2026 at the closing ceremony of the Strategic Leadership Course One, organised for senior officers of the Commission at its headquarters in Jabi, Abuja.

In his lecture titled: “Institutional Branding and Behavioural Impact,” the EFCC boss observed that public confidence in the agency depended largely on the conduct and professionalism of its personnel, noting that every officer represents the image and values of the Commission both within and outside the workplace.

He tasked the senior officers on operational effectiveness and accountability as well as fairness, which he said are imperative to place the Commission respectably in the public domain.

The EFCC’s boss urged the participants to act ethically and in honesty in their enforcement activities even under pressure. “Pursue financial crimes fearlessly, impartially, and without compromise, regardless of the stature of the offender,” he said.

He noted that institutional rebranding goes beyond adoption of a new logo or public relations messages, but hinges more on positive behaviourial and attitudinal change of every member of staff, noting that the Commission’s effectiveness in the fight against corruption, economic and financial crimes depends on the level of trust it enjoys from the public, transparency, accountability and professionalism of officers.

While urging the officers to understand that leadership extended beyond operational competence, he tasked them on equipping themselves with human capital management and crises resolution and in the ability to inspire confidence in subordinates.

He explained that the Strategic Leadership Course was introduced to prepare officers for the broader responsibilities that accompany leadership positions as the activities of the Commission continue to grow in scope.

“A leader must be able to create an atmosphere that makes people believe in what you do and believe in you. You must be able to encourage people, make sacrifices and even take bullets for your team and for the institution,” he said.

The continuous expansion of the Commission, he noted, required more officers to assume leadership responsibilities, thus making capacity development imperative and urged the officers to cultivate a culture of learning, noting that self-development is critical to their career advancement and institutional excellence.

He further challenged the officers to embrace innovation and adapt to latest technologies, warning that clinging to outdated methods in the new era of artificial intelligence and cutting- edge technology could stall both individual and institutional progress.

The EFCC as a law enforcement agency, he said, must constantly update its technological know-how and benchmark its operations with global best practices to remain effective, adding that the Commission’s officers must regularly study developments in anti-corruption fight and law enforcement by paying diligent attention to the operations, methods and tactics of leading international agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigations, FBI, of the United States and UK’s National Crime Agency, NCA.

Governor Eno Receives First 20 CNG State-Owned Buses, Reaffirms Commitment To Modern Transportation System

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has received the first batch of 20 state-owned buses out of the 50 ordered by his administration, describing the development as another major step towards transforming the state’s transportation sector.

Speaking during the reception of the buses, at Government House Uyo, Governor Eno expressed gratitude to God for a safe delivery of the vehicles and commended everyone who contributed to the successful procurement process.

He specifically appreciated the Ministry of Transport, the Commissioner for Transport, Dr. Anthony Luke, AKICORP, Mr. Imo-Abasi Jacob, the Managing Director of Peacock Paint, Mr. Ime Uwa, and other stakeholders for their dedication and support.

The Governor disclosed that the remaining 30 buses would arrive in batches, while the government intensifies work on the completion of modern bus terminals across the state.

“We have just received the first 20 buses. We ordered 50, and they will come in batches. The next step is to get the terminals ready. We have already paid for the tracking devices, and we will install trackers, introduce an electronic ticketing system, and put every necessary facility in place. This speaks to a better transport system for Akwa Ibom State,” he said.

Governor Eno reiterated that his administration remains committed to making transportation easier, safer, and more affordable for residents.

“What we promised our people is that we would make transportation easy and simple. Akwa Ibom has one of the best road networks in Nigeria after Abuja. These buses will operate across all the 31 Local Government Areas, which is why we are constructing transport terminals to ensure seamless movement of people across the state.”

He explained that beginning with 50 buses is a strategic move, adding that more buses would be procured as demand increases.

The Governor expressed optimism about the state’s future, noting that the dividends of his administration’s investments are beginning to manifest.

“I see a brighter future for Akwa Ibom. All these projects are coming together. Within three years, by the grace of God, you will witness seed time and harvest time. I believe this administration has sown the seeds, and Akwa Ibom is gradually entering the harvest season.”

Governor Eno also congratulated the people of Akwa Ibom for their continued faith and support for his administration, urging them to remain hopeful and united as the government delivers more developmental projects.
