General Abdulsalami Abubakar, a retired former Head of State, called on Nigerians to unite against insecurity and said defeating terrorism and other criminal activities requires collective action by citizens, security agencies and government at all levels, according to Bluesky.

Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, a retired former Chief of Army Staff, warned that Nigeria’s insurgency and banditry crisis could spiral into direct attacks on ministers, senators, and state governors unless the government adopts a radically different security strategy, reported by von.gov.ng. Buratai first raised the alarm in 2021 that Nigeria’s security challenges might persist for two decades without decisive action, von.gov.ng added.

Manir Muhammad Dan'iya, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate in Sokoto State, called for urgent measures to address security challenges in parts of Sokoto State after reports that residents of several communities in Danchadi District of Bodinga Local Government Area fled their homes, AllAfrica reported.

AllAfrica also reported that Manir Muhammad Dan'iya is the governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Sokoto State.

Maj. Gen. Rabe Abubakar was captured, tortured and eventually killed, von.gov.ng reported.

When a general falls into the hands of non‑state actors, it signals a serious erosion of tactical capability, von.gov.ng noted.
