President Bola Tinubu has directed the immediate and permanent reinforcement of security at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru, Plateau State, following a recent attack on the institution’s perimeter that claimed the lives of two soldiers and a police officer.
The directive was conveyed on Friday by Vice President Kashim Shettima during a visit to the institute, where he addressed participants of the Senior Executive Course (SEC) 48 on behalf of the President.
According to the Vice President, the attack has strengthened the Federal Government’s resolve to protect critical national institutions, support security personnel and ensure that similar incidents do not occur in the future.
Expressing the condolences of the Federal Government, Shettima sympathised with the families of the fallen security personnel and assured them of government support.
“I come to you with a heavy heart and a firm spirit. A banditry attack on the perimeter of NIPSS claimed the lives of two gallant soldiers and one courageous policeman. To their families, to the Nigerian Armed Forces, and to the Nigeria Police Force, I extend, on behalf of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and the entire Federal Government, our deepest condolences.
“We mourn with you. We share your pain. And we honour their sacrifice,” he was quoted as saying.
The Vice President announced that President Tinubu had ordered the activation of emergency security measures at the institute, directing the Director-General of NIPSS to work closely with the Armed Forces, the Nigeria Police Force and the Department of State Services (DSS) to strengthen security around the facility.
“His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, has directed that emergency security measures be activated at once, with the DG to coordinate with the Armed Forces, the Police, and the DSS to fortify the perimeter without delay.
“On the President’s order, a comprehensive action plan and timeline for permanent reinforcement, covering surveillance, personnel, access control, and emergency systems, must be submitted to the Office of the Vice President within seventy-two hours. Weekly progress reports will follow until full completion. No future attack must find us unprepared,” he added.
Shettima described NIPSS as Nigeria’s strategic intellectual nerve centre and a vital national asset whose protection must remain a top national security priority.
He noted that although the attackers intended to create fear and disrupt the training of future leaders, the incident instead demonstrated the courage, resilience and discipline of participants, management and security personnel at the institute.
Addressing staff and participants, the Vice President assured them that their safety remained a priority for the Federal Government.
“Your safety is non-negotiable. The President has directed the immediate reinforcement of security around NIPSS and all strategic institutions. The sacrifice of those three brave men will not be in vain. Their children will be our children. Their welfare will be our responsibility,” he said.
He further stressed that those responsible for the attack would not succeed in undermining the purpose and mission of the institute.
Commending the participants of SEC 48 for their conduct during the incident, Shettima said they had demonstrated qualities befitting future national leaders.
“When darkness came to the gates of this Institute, it expected to find people who would scatter into the night. It found instead men and women who stood their ground.
“You did not flee. You did not abandon your colleagues. You faced the worst that cruelty could send, and you answered it with composure, with courage, and with the steady discipline of people who understand exactly why they were summoned to this place,” he noted.
The Vice President also praised the Director-General of NIPSS, Ayo Omotayo, for his leadership and swift coordination with security agencies, which ensured the prompt deployment of reinforcements and the safety of participants and staff.
He similarly commended the Director of Studies, Barrister Nima Salman Mann, for maintaining order and coordinating the safety of staff and participants during the crisis.
Earlier, Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang expressed appreciation to the Federal Government for its support and the Vice President’s visit, describing it as a demonstration of empathy and solidarity following the attack.
The governor approved NIPSS management’s request for the establishment of a buffer zone around the institution, as well as the installation of security lights and other measures to enhance security in the area.
He also paid tribute to the fallen security personnel and praised the bravery of staff and course participants who helped repel the attackers and prevent further incursion into the institute.
In his remarks, the Director-General of NIPSS, Omotayo, presented an incident report to the Vice President and appealed for additional security support, including the deployment of more personnel and the installation of surveillance infrastructure such as CCTV cameras around the institution.
He noted that the attack underscored the vulnerability of critical government institutions across the country and highlighted the need for improved security measures.
Popular Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke, has claimed that the entertainment industry is dominated by “demons” and created to “extol satanism.”
Speaking in a recent interview with media personality Joey Akan, Iyke claimed that most people in the entertainment industry serve themselves and extol themselves as demigods, which according to him is a virtue of satanism.
The movie star revealed that he once thought he was special because people cry and faint whenever he walks into a room but later realised that it was self-worship after finding God.
He explained that it takes conscious efforts for people in the entertainment industry to be connected to God and not self-worship or any form of satanism.
He said, “There is no bigger enabler than the entertainment industry. This is where demons live. Entertainment is totally created and orchestrated to extol the virtues of Satanism.
“What in the entertainment industry glorifies God except you intentionally or consciously pursue him? Is it the blatant life?
“What do we extol that is godly? I am not saying God doesn’t exist in the entertainment industry, I am saying the entertainment industry is predominantly created for satanism.
“As a creative, to create is to mimic God. But in the entertainment structure many serve self. You can’t serve God and serve self. That is a conflict of interest. Serving self is satanism itself.
“When you extol yourself to god-like status when you think you should be worshipped or the laws should not apply to you anymore, you are literally worshipped.
“I have been there. I have see people cry when I walked into a room and I look at them and I think I am special. No you are not.
‘Once you find your place with God, you will understand what is special. What is special is being able to find God in this place that is devoid of his presence

I commend our security forces for the successful rescue of Oyo school children – Hon TeeJay Yusuf
Former member of the House of Representatives and a top notch of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Hon TeeJay Yusuf has commended gallant security operatives for the successful rescue of Oyo school children after 56 days in captivity.
This was contained in a commendation letter personally signed by the three-term former lawmaker(2011-2023) on Saturday.
In the commentation letter, Yusuf said: “I warmly commend our gallant security forces for the successful rescue of the Oyo schoolchildren and their teachers after more than 50 days in the captivity of their abductors.
“Their safe return is a profound relief to their families and to all Nigerians who have kept them in their thoughts and prayers throughout this difficult period.
” This successful operation reflects the courage, professionalism, resilience, and unwavering commitment of our security personnel in the service of our nation.
“While we celebrate this outcome, we must remain steadfast in strengthening our collective resolve to end kidnapping and all forms of criminality across the country. Every Nigerian deserves to live, learn, and work in safety.
“I congratulate all those who played a role in securing their freedom and pray that God will continue to protect, strengthen, and guide our security forces as they carry out their vital responsibility.
The Presidency has thrown its heavy weight behind the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, over the recent controversy involving Peter Obi at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, insisting that the former Anambra State governor breached established parking regulations.
Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the facts presented by the aviation minister contradicted Obi’s claim that his vehicle was deliberately targeted by authorities.
The dispute stems from an incident on July 4, 2026, when Obi alleged that officials clamped the tyres of his vehicle at the Abuja airport as part of what he described as continued persecution by the Federal Government under President Bola Tinubu.
Following the allegation, Keyamo said he ordered an investigation into the matter. According to the minister, the findings showed that Obi’s vehicle was parked in violation of airport regulations and was clamped only after officials allowed sufficient time for it to be moved.
Keyamo maintained that Obi had already exited the vehicle before enforcement officers carried out the action, making it impossible for airport personnel to have identified the car as belonging to the opposition figure or singled him out for special treatment.
The minister further stated that after the police officer attached to Obi informed him that the vehicle had been clamped, the former presidential candidate secured its release without paying the prescribed penalty, despite what he described as a clear breach of airport security rules.
Reacting on his verified X account, Onanuga said the minister’s explanation had laid to rest claims that Obi was unfairly targeted.
He said, “Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo explains how Peter Obi’s car violated parking rules at the Airport, how it was clamped and how Peter Obi peddled his influence to get the car released without paying the mandatory fine. Keyamo has now decided that Peter Obi must pay the N25,000 fine for wrongful, illegal and dangerous parking.
“The Minister’s account of what happened on July 4 at Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, Abuja, completely debunked Obi’s falsehood that he was unduly targeted and persecuted. The truth is that he and his police driver broke a simple parking rule at the Airport.”
