Nigerians in Niger have beseeched the Federal Government to hasten up plans on evacuating them from the embattled Nigeriens and returning home before any war breaks out. The Nigerian who made this public on Saturday said the appeal became necessary so as to avoid being caught up in the line of fire and to avoid a repeat of what happened in Sudan where many Nigerian students were trapped when fighting broke out between the government forces and rebels.

Troops of the 82 Division of the Nigerian in collaboration with other security agencies have successfully raided the hideout of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed affiliate, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), at Imufu in Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu State.

The Nigerian Army has vowed to put an end to the insecurity, ranging from Kidnapping, banditry, and other related criminal activities in the South-East geopolitical zone in a very short period of time, stressing that no stone will be left unturned.

The Indigenous People of Biafra ( IPOB), has accused the Finland-based Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa, of using the Eastern Security Network, ESN, to defraud people. The group made the remark while distancing ESN from Ekpa, stressing that he’s not a registered unit member of the security outfit.

The National Population Commission (NPC) said it is all set to commence the 2023 Population and housing census. This was disclosed by the NPC Federal Commissioner, Clifford Zirra, in Adamawa during an interactive session with media executives on the status of preparations for the census.

The Comptroller of Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) Ekiti Command, Kayode Ademola has described the "japa syndrome" in Nigeria as a major challenge to those seeking port exits through illegal routes in the quest for greener pastures.
