Terrorists now using armed drones in North-East – Army commander
The Theatre Commander of Operation Hadin Kai, Major General AE Abubakar, has revealed that terrorists operating in Nigeria’s North-East have begun deploying armed drones in their attacks.
General Abubakar made the disclosure during a press briefing, where he outlined recent developments in the fight against insurgency.
“Since November of last year, we noticed the introduction of the use of armed drones to carry out attacks,” he said.
He warned that such drones, similar to those used in conflict zones like Ukraine and Israel, are difficult to detect with conventional radar systems posing a serious challenge to military defenses.
This development underscores what the commander described as the terrorists’ increasing ability to adapt.
He linked the evolution in tactics to the regional instability in the Sahel, where widespread looting of military barracks has allowed sophisticated weaponry to enter Nigeria illegally.
“The weapons find their way down into Nigeria due to our large and porous borders,” he said.
To counter these evolving threats, the military has initiated major changes, including a review of troop deployments and increased surveillance.
“In the last two months, we have been re-strategizing and reorganizing. The Chief of Army Staff was here just a week ago, and several changes have been made in the theatre,” Abubakar added.
While acknowledging recent attacks in Rann, Gajiram and Dikwa, the commander noted that all but one were successfully repelled. The attack in Rann resulted in the loss of four soldiers.
Despite the challenges, General Abubakar emphasized the military’s resolve and called for national support.
“Our troops are highly motivated, and our resilience is not dampened. In time, we will completely defeat terrorism,” he said.
He further warned terrorists operating in the North-East to surrender like some of their former comrades who have been treated humanely or face elimination.
The commander also stressed that national security is a collective responsibility, not just the duty of uniformed personnel, and called on all Nigerians to actively support the military by providing intelligence and helping to identify and isolate criminal elements within their communities.
“Nigerians must continue to assist the military in fishing out the bad elements,” he concluded.
It was a night of deserving honour to the Zigima that has shone for decades.
A night of entertainment, joy, excitement and laughter.
Thank you Governor Alex Otti for your intentional dedication to creating a new atmosphere of unity, peace and security, backed by visible transformation in all facets of governance.
Thank you for ensuring that Abia didn’t just rise from the ashes, but that it commenced a progressive journey to greatness in all spheres.
Thank you for choosing to inspire the younger generation by celebrating excellence and great accomplishments.
Happy birthday Bright Chimezie (Zigima)

Lady cries out after her brother was knocked down by keke on his way to early morning test at UniAbuja, faces possible leg amputation
A visibly distressed lady has cried out over a tragic accident involving her younger brother, a student of the University of Abuja.
According to her account, the incident occurred in the early hours of the morning when students were struggling to get to school for a test allegedly scheduled around 5 a.m.
She explained that while her brother and a coursemate were trying to cross the road in front of the University of Abuja, a commercial tricycle (keke), reportedly driving against traffic, knocked them down.
As of the time she shared the video, her brother was said to be unconscious and already being prepared for surgery. Doctors, she stated, described his condition as critical, adding that there was a possibility his leg might have to be amputated.
The lady further claimed that although the tricycle rider was arrested, there were moves to release him, and that the school authorities had not reached out or offered any form of support since the incident.
She also revealed that the hospital initially rejected her brother due to the seriousness of his condition before eventually admitting him, while medical bills continued to pile up beyond what she could afford.
