The Nigeria Police Force has summoned Senator Sunday Karimi for questioning over a report alleging that Russia’s KGB (Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti), the former Soviet security agency, has infiltrated the National Assembly, posing a serious threat to Nigeria’s democratic processes.

Senator Karimi allegedly shared a report titled “KGB Agent Group Warns Senate: A Call for Vigilance Amidst Threats to Democracy” on the official WhatsApp group of the 10th Senate on February 23, 2025.

The report, initially published by The Reporters, an online media outlet, sparked controversy within the National Assembly and prompted Senator Natasha H. Akpoti-Uduaghan, who is currently under suspension, to petition the Inspector General of Police (IGP).

In her petition, dated March 5, 2025, Akpoti-Uduaghan raised serious concerns over the claims, warning that such an alarming allegation threatens national security and demands immediate investigation.

According to the petition, Senator Karimi shared the report in the Senate’s WhatsApp group at 4:08 AM Singapore time (8:08 PM Nigerian time) on February 23, 2025, while Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan was in Singapore.

The suspended senator underscored the urgency of the matter, stating, “No nation can afford to ignore the presence of such a group within its legislative body.”

In light of the gravity of the allegations, the petition calls for swift action. Senator Karimi is expected to cooperate with the investigation and provide details about the report’s origin and sources.

Meanwhile, Senator Karimi has been summoned for questioning at the Force Headquarters in Abuja on March 24, 2025.

No fewer than 76 ISWAP terrorists have abandoned their enclaves and surrendered to troops within the North-East theatre of operations as part of the Joint Task Force (North East), Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), and continued operational successes.

The North East geopolitical zone comprises six states: Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba, and Yobe.

In a statement by the Acting Military Information Officer, Headquarters Joint Task Force North East Operation Hadin Kai, Captain Mohammed Goni, revealed that among those who surrendered were key members of the terrorist network, due to relentless military pressure.

“The development highlights the devastating impact of the sustained offensive by Operation HADIN KAI, which continues to dismantle terrorist strongholds, disrupt command and logistics structures, and deny the insurgents freedom of action across the theatre”.

“Persistent military operations have continued to degrade the terrorists’ combat capabilities while eroding confidence within their ranks and leadership. Within the last week alone, a total of 76 terrorist foot soldiers with some families surrendered to troops”

“They are currently in a secure location undergoing profiling, debriefing, and other established procedures in accordance with extant operational protocols,” the statement reads in part.

According to Captain Goni, the operational gains demonstrate the effectiveness of the Nigerian military’s comprehensive counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency strategy, combining precision combat operations, intelligence-led engagements, and coordinated joint efforts with partners.
He added that “the Operation HADIN KAI remains resolute in its mission to completely defeat terrorism and restore lasting peace and security across the North-East and the pressure on the remaining terrorist elements will continue unabated until they are completely neutralised or forced to surrender”.

Ex-Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has raised concerns over a fresh plot to keep the opposition party, the African Democratic Congress, off the ballot in the 2027 general elections.

In a statement by his spokesperson, Phrank Shaibu, he said elements within President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government want to use political and legal machinations to exclude the ADC from the ballot.

Atiku urged its supporters to reject every attempt to cherry-pick which opposition parties are permitted to participate in the coming election.

He noted that the ruling party may conspire against democracy but would not decide.

“We are fully aware of their plots. While they seek to sow confusion within the opposition, we know their real target is the ADC because it represents the most credible alternative.

“We therefore call on all Nigerians—not just ADC members and supporters— to rise in defence of democracy and reject any attempt by the ruling party to cherry-pick which opposition parties are permitted to participate in the next general election.

“Our message to the APC and the hooded men plotting in dark chambers is simple: you may conspire, but you will not succeed. If the APC is truly confident in its popularity, why is it so terrified of the ADC?” Atiku added.

Gunmen suspected to be bandits, on Monday, attacked the Government Day Secondary School in Lassa, Askira/Uba Local Government Area of Borno State, killing a teacher and abducting an unspecified number of students who were writing the National Examinations Council Senior School Certificate Examination.

The assailants reportedly invaded the community while the examination was in progress, opening fire and throwing residents into panic. One teacher was killed during the attack, while another sustained gunshot injuries.

Residents said the gunmen took away several students and some teachers before fleeing the area. The exact number of those abducted had yet to be determined as of the time of filing this report.

A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, alleged that military personnel stationed in the community had left for a patrol in nearby Uba, about 16 kilometres away, shortly before the attackers struck.

The attack disrupted the ongoing examination and forced residents to flee for safety as the gunmen operated freely in the community.

The spokesperson for the Borno State Police Command, Nahum Daso, confirmed the incident, saying security agencies had been notified and that several students remained unaccounted for following the raid.

Efforts to rescue the abducted victims were said to be ongoing, while authorities were yet to disclose the exact number of those kidnapped or provide further details on the operation.
