Nigeria’s President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has been urged to demonstrate leadership and moral courage by immediately suspending Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, the country’s National Security Adviser (NSA), and others, so as to give way to a proposed independent probe by a joint national and international investigation panel, with the view to bringing those culpable to justice.
This and other demands were made by the Save Nigeria Group (SNG), a United States of America-based not-for-profit, via a statement issued by its President, Stephen Osemwegie, and Director of Media, Victor Onyeka Ben,
President Tinubu was tasked to act swiftly in response to the “disturbing reports from Kwara State, indicating that a captured Fulani Islamist militant, caught with identification card, confirming him as a member of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), who allegedly confessed to receiving weapons and logistical support traceable to state-linked security channels, including the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA), headed by Mallam Nuhu Ribadu”.
The group emphasised that it was appalling that mass kidnappings of school children and worshippers, persistent attacks on Christian communities and vulnerable Muslims, and other coordinated violence, continued in the country, particularly across Niger, Kogi, Kwara, Benue and Plateau states of the Middle Belt region.
It also bemoaned what it called government’s inertia as security outfits were unable to bring it under control, and perpetrators and enablers were not brought to justice.
The US charity further expressed its worries for the grave outrage and deep alarm over Nigeria’s rapidly deteriorating security situation, as marked by relentless terrorist attacks, mass kidnappings, targeted killings, and credible allegations of internal compromise within the nation’s security architecture.
The NGO, that has been supportive of the “Country of Particular Concern” categorisation of Nigeria, about which a “Christian genocide” claim had been established against the country by Donald Trump, the US president, vowed to drag perpetrators and backers of the crimes through the mechanism of International Criminal Court (ICC).
SNG made more demands to President Tinubu, which included public disclosure of all backers of the terrorists, appraisal of the extent of the crisis, giving a clearer timeline to stop the insecurity, responding swiftly to the needs of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), addressing the alleged official compromise within the Nigeria polity and making the country a place where the rule of law holds sway.

Teenage girl allegedly stabbed parents to de@th, stabbed family dog, sent crime scene photos to friends
A 15-year-old girl from Groningen in the Netherlands was arrested after her parents, Johan and Mathilda, both 53, were found f@tally stabbed last Thursday, June 18, Dutch outlet Algemeen Dagblad reported.
The family’s pet golden retriever also suffered stab wounds in the rampage, the Sun reported.
The dog’s condition is unclear.
The girl took images of her slain parents and then shared the disturbing photos with her friends on WhatsApp after the bloody attack, the Telegraaf reported.
“You could see both of her parents lying on the ground with their eyes open. Her father was lying on the floor, and her mother was on the bed. There was blood visible and a knife,” one student told the outlet in Dutch.
Local police declined to comment further on the images, but encouraged people to never distribute such images online and report them to the police, the reports said.
The girl reportedly struggled with her identity and often pretended to be a dog, crawling around and barking on all fours with other friends in school corridors.
“She wore a tail, dog ears, and gloves,” another classmate told the outlet. “And sometimes she would make barking sounds.”
Johan and Mathilda’s relatives said in a statement obtained by Algemeen Dagblad that they “can hardly comprehend” the murd£rs.
‘We hope that everyone understands that we are deeply affected by the tragic events surrounding the passing of Johan and Mathilda from Meerstad,” family and friends said in a statement through an aid organization.
“But the support and sympathy we have received from many do us good and are heartwarming.”
An investigation into the slayings remains ongoing.

OGTV broadcaster: Police recover stolen Lexus RX300 as CP vows “no stone unturned” in murder probe
Ogun State Police Command says it has recovered the Lexus RX300 stolen from the home of slain ex-OGTV broadcaster Mrs Kitan Oyesiku and her security guard in Iyana Agodo Village, Owode-Egba.
The recovery happened during night operations, the command confirmed Monday.
—CP walks the scene himself—
Commissioner of Police Bode Ojajuni visited the crime scene for an on-the-spot assessment. He inspected the premises and got briefings from detectives handling the case.
“CP Ojajuni reiterated the Command’s resolve to leave no stone unturned in unraveling the circumstances surrounding the incident and ensuring that those responsible are identified, apprehended, and brought to justice,” Police PPRO Oluseyi Babaseyi said in a statement.
The visit, according to police, was to evaluate progress in the investigation into the double murder that has rattled the Owode-Egba community.
—What happened that night—
PUNCH Online had reported that a resident raised the alarm over suspicious movements around Oyesiku’s residence. When operatives arrived, they found signs of forced entry.
Inside, the security guard was found dead at his post. Oyesiku’s body was later discovered inside the apartment. Her Lexus RX300 was missing.
Police now say the vehicle has been secured and will serve as key evidence. “It is worthy of note that the vehicle earlier reported missing from the residence, a Lexus RX300, has been recovered by police operatives during the night hours,” Babaseyi confirmed.
—“Intensive investigation ongoing”–
Ojajuni commiserated with Oyesiku’s family and assured Ogun residents that “all available resources are being deployed to track down the perpetrators.”
For now, no arrests have been announced. But with the car recovered and the CP personally monitoring the case, police say they’re closing in.
Oyesiku, a retired broadcaster with Ogun State Television, was remembered by colleagues as a calm voice on air. Her death, alongside her guard’s, has renewed calls for better security for elderly residents living alone in semi-urban areas. [The Punch report rewritten]
