…as NC Adedamola Gbenga Emmanuel reaffirms vision of safeguarding Nigerians
The National Commander of Man O’ War Nigeria, NC Adedamola Gbenga MIPM, MSR, MSS, on Tuesday, 23rd September 2025, paid an official visit to the Railway Command in a move that aimed the organization’s renewed commitment to safeguarding lives and fostering security at the grassroots level. The visit marked a historic moment as he officially commissioned the newly established Command Secretariat, designed to serve as a hub for coordination and operational effectiveness.
In his remarks during the commissioning, the National Commander emphasized that the vision of Man O’ War Nigeria remains firmly rooted in strengthening security consciousness and community safety from the grassroots. According to him, national security can only be sustained when every community is empowered, trained, and actively involved in protecting lives and property.
The National Commander reiterated that the Railway Command plays a critical role in ensuring the safety of commuters, particularly in light of the growing challenges of insecurity across the transport sector. He noted that the new Secretariat will enhance collaboration, boost efficiency, and provide a stronger base for proactive responses to security threats within the railway corridors.
As part of the visit, the National Commander also met with key stakeholders who have consistently supported the vision and activities of Man O’ War Nigeria. Among those recognized were the Chairman of the Railway Command, Mr. Ben Iloanusi; the Deputy Director of Security, Mr. Abdul Malik; and the former Chairman, Mr. Niyi Ali. Their unflinching dedication was lauded as a pillar of strength in advancing the objectives of the Command.
While acknowledging their contributions, the National Commander stressed that partnerships between security agencies, community leaders, and stakeholders remain indispensable in the fight against insecurity. He called for continuous collaboration to create safer environments for Nigerians, especially at the grassroots where challenges are most felt.
He further highlighted that Man O’ War Nigeria’s strategy aligns with national efforts to combat insecurity by promoting youth training, civic responsibility, and leadership development. According to him, empowering young people at the grassroots not only prevents crime but also strengthens national unity and resilience.
The visit also served as a platform for the National Commander to inspire officers and men of the Railway Command to remain steadfast in discipline, commitment, and service to humanity. He urged them to uphold the values of loyalty, patriotism, and sacrifice in line with the organization’s ethos.
The commissioning of the new Secretariat and the engagements held during the visit reflect the National Commander’s vision of bringing security closer to the people. By focusing on grassroots safety and reinforcing stakeholder partnerships, Man O’ War Nigeria continues to position itself as a dependable force in safeguarding communities across the nation.
Alhaji Ibrahim Galadima, a former Chairman of the Nigeria Football Association (NFA), died on Saturday after a prolonged illness.
His death was confirmed by former Secretary-General of the NFA, Sani Ahmed Toro.
Galadima was a prominent figure in Nigerian sports administration, having led the NFA before it was restructured into the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
He also served as Chairman of the Kano State Sports Council between 1981 and 1983.
Born in 1951 in Fagge, Kano, Galadima had a long-standing career in sports governance.
He was a member of the National Sports Commission and was elected Vice President of the Nigeria Olympic Committee in 1985, a position he held until 1987.
He was later reappointed as Chairman of the Kano State Sports Council and continued to play key roles at both state and national levels.
Galadima also served on the Presidential Monitoring Committee on the development of sports facilities for the 1995 FIFA World Youth Championship, which was initially scheduled to be hosted in Nigeria but later relocated due to health-related challenges.
In addition, he was a member of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Youth Championship Organising Committee.
In 2002, he was elected Chairman of the then Nigeria Football Association, further cementing his legacy as one of the country’s influential sports administrators.
Burial arrangements will be announced later according to family sources.
Tragedy struck the Panshanu Hill stretch of the Bauchi-Jos federal highway on Friday evening as a horrific multi-vehicle collision claimed the lives of eleven persons, leaving thirty-two others with life-threatening injuries.
The victims, including women and children, were reportedly burnt beyond recognition when the vehicles involved in the crash erupted into a massive fireball upon impact.
According to a crash report released by the RS12.14
Toro Unit Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps
(FRSC), the accident occurred at approximately 6:40
PM. FRSC personnel, who arrived at the scene within ten minutes of the report, battled to rescue survivors from the mangled, smoking wreckage.
The crash involved a white MAN mini-tanker, identified as part of the Nigerian Police fleet, and a white FIAT J5 Boxer commercial bus with registration number KTU624XY.
Preliminary investigations by the FRSC identified
“dangerous driving” and the use of “worn-out tyres” as the probable causes of the carnage. The impact, which occurred on a single, unpaved carriageway, sent both vehicles off the road and triggered an immediate inferno.
A breakdown of the casualties paints a heart-wrenching picture of the disaster. Out of the 43 persons involved in the accident, 11 fatalities were recorded, comprising one male adult, three male children, five female adults, and two female children.
The 32 injured survivors, including five male children, 19 female adults, seven female children, and one male adult, were rushed to a nearby general hospital for emergency treatment.
The Bauchi State Command of the FRSC has reiterated its warning to motorists to avoid overspeeding and ensure their vehicles are in roadworthy condition, especially when navigating the treacherous bends of the Panshanu Hill.
