UNCOVERED! EFCC’s insider, angry NAHCON staff members exposed alleged Hajj multimillion-dollar fraud
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has uncovered a multimillion-dollar fraud allegedly committed by high-ranking officials of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON).
The anti-corruption agency’s revelations stem from a thorough investigation into the questionable utilisation of funds earmarked for NAHCON’s Hajj operations over the years.
The details of the EFCC’s findings emerged from an investigation report newly obtained by PREMIUM TIMES. A review of the document, first reported by PUNCH newspaper, revealed that the EFCC’s investigation dates back to 2022 after an operative of the anti-graft agency, who served on the NAHCON Central Security Committee that year, hinted at several infractions in the use of the Hajj commission’s funds.
Some of the irregularities highlighted in an intelligence report submitted by the EFCC insider after the stint on the NAHCON security committee include the payment of estacodes to staff for a study tour that never took place and payment for a consultancy service that was not rendered, among others.
Subsequently, the EFCC said it wrote to NAHCON, highlighting lapses in its administrative process and providing necessary advice while also investigating the lead its operatives provided.
The document said that along with the unnamed EFCC operative’s intelligence report, the anti-corruption agency also received petitions from some concerned NAHCON staff members. The EFCC received seven petitions from the staff members against their chairman, Jalal Arabi, and the commission’s secretary, Abdullahi Kotangora.
The agency’s investigation also named Haruna Magaji as a suspect. We have yet to ascertain his relationship with NAHCON.
The intelligence report alleged “a multimillion-dollar case of conspiracy, misappropriation and mismanagement of pilgrims funds paid for the 2022 Hajj operation” by top officials of NAHCON.
The anti-graft agency said that while investigating these allegations, it received another petition against the current NAHCON chair, Mr Arabi.
Mr Arabi had been detained since Wednesday. This was after the anti-graft agency grilled him and released him on bail on 29 July.
That same Wednesday, some top officials of the commission were also arrested by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) over alleged mismanagement or diversion of Hajj funds.
The EFCC stated in the document that estacodes were paid to some NAHCON staff members for a study tour to Indonesia that never took place. The anti-graft agency said it had recovered the funds, although it did not state the amount.
Alleged consultancy service fraud
The investigation also led to the recovery of funds paid to Shuraka’a al-Khair Group Ltd for a consultancy service it never rendered.
The money paid as consultancy service to the company was purportedly “for debt recovery of the sum of Saudi Riyal (SAR) 20,637,908.23 (SAR20.6 million) from the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah Saudi Arabia.” The company reportedly received 7.5 per cent of the purportedly recovered debts.
In its findings, the anti-graft agency explained that the Saudi Arabian government refunded NAHCON SAR20.6 million for services that were either poorly rendered or not rendered to some Nigerian pilgrims and tour operators at Masha’ir in December 2023.
The rites performed by the pilgrims at Arafah, Muzdalifah and Mina are collectively called al-masha’ir al-muqaddasah or masha’ir in Arabic.
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah Saudi Arabia paid the funds in four tranches into NAHCON’s IBAN account on 27 December 2023.
EFCC said that after the payments by the Saudi authorities, Mr Arabi, the NAHCON boss, “fraudulently” contracted Shuraka’a al-Khair Group Ltd as a consultant via a letter of award dated 24 January 2024. The company was purportedly engaged to “recover” the money already received in the commission’s account.
The firm purportedly facilitated the recovery of SAR20.6 million from the Saudi authorities and was paid SAR1.7 million (SAR1,780, 019,59) as part payment for the “service”.
However, further investigation revealed that the award letter for the contract for which the firm was paid 7.5 per cent consultancy fees was issued after the Saudi government refunded NAHCON.
“Investigation revealed that all supporting documents for payment of the consultancy services, including the Executive Chairman’s approval, were fraudulently backdated to 23 January 2024 to enable the payment of the sum of SAR1,780,019.59 to Shuraka’a al-Khair Group Ltd on the 14 April 2024,” the investigators revealed. The document claimed that Mr Arabi confessed that the consultant did not render the service. Mr Arabi is not yet available to comment on the claim.
It is unclear what they could have planned to achieve by backdating the documents to 23 January, at which time the Saudi government had already paid NAHCON the money the contract was meant to recover.
EFCC also said its investigation showed that a meeting of the Expanded Transitional Exco was held on 25 January with seven members and 18 staff members of NAHCON in attendance.
During the meeting, the payment of the consultancy services to Shuraka’a al-Khair Group Ltd was not discussed, according to the investigators.
“The commission’s secretary (Mr Kontagora) slotted the approval for the payment of the 7.5 per cent consultancy to Shuraka’a al-Khair Group Ltd in the minutes of Expanded Transitional Exco meeting as item 10 under AOB to enable the perfection of the documentation to steal the funds,” the document stated.
The anti-graft agency, however, said Mr Arabi has confessed that the consultant Shuraka’a al-Khair Group Lid has refunded SAR 1.78 million (SAR1,780,019.59) into the NAHCON SAAB account domiciled in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
It added that about SR 1 million “SAR 1,026,000), equivalent to about N430.9 million (N430,920,000), was equally recovered from Eastern Gulf Company.
Alleged overpayment of estacodes to Arabi, other top officials
The investigators also revealed that the 2024 budget allocated specific operational costs for key officials: $4,250 for the chairman/CEO, $12,750 for commissioners, $3,825 for secretaries, and $15,300 for directors/chief of staff.
EFCC discovered that Mr Arabi paid himself SAR 50,000, far above the SAR15,929 he was entitled to.
Similarly, the three commissioners received SR40,000 each instead of SAR15,929, while the secretary was paid SR30,000 instead of SAR14,336.
The investigation also showed that the directors and the chief of staff were overpaid, receiving SAR30,000 each, when they were only entitled to SAR2,550 each.
Funds unaccounted for
According to EFCC’s findings, one Abubakar Muhammed Lamin withdrew SAR22.8 million (SR22,815,367.74) in cash from the NAHCON’s British SAAB account in Saudi Arabia during the 2024 Hajj.
Out of this, “the total sum of SAR8,614,175.27 (SAR8.6 million) cash withdrawal is yet to be accounted for by NAHCON,” the investigators said, adding that the expected recovery is SR 314,098 which is equivalent to N131,921,160 (N131.9 million) on or before 16 August.
The investigators said the refund of SAR18,857,888.11 and SR314,098 is also being awaited.
According to the investigation, NAHCON maintains two offshore accounts: the IBAN-E track Saudi Arabia payment platform and the British SAAB Account.
The IBAN-E track payment platform, created by the Saudi government, operates like an e-wallet. It was designed to receive basic payment for each pilgrim to secure visas. The Saudi government monitors the account.
The British SAAB account is used for all other payments and any other balance payments for accommodation, transport and feeding to the service providers.
EFCC said fraud was discovered in the NAHCON British SAAB Account.
It said, “The payment of SAR1,780,019.59 (SAR1.78 million) to Shuraka’a al-Khair Group Lid for the purported consultancy service was made from the NAHCON British SAAB account.”
The N90 billion subsidy for 2024 Hajj
The federal government gave NAHCON N90 billion as Hajj subsidies and operations costs for the 2024 pilgrimage to Mecca.
The investigators found that out of the N90 billion, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) deducted about N1.76 billion (N1,764,705,937.62) as bank charges.
Subsequently, the sum of N88.2 billion (N88, 235.294,063.72) “was converted into United States dollars at the rate of N1,416.13 (to $1), which amounted to $62.3 million ($62,307,164.48) and after that transferred into NAHCON British SAAB Account in Saudi Arabia.”
The sum of $62.3 million was further converted to Saudi Riyal at the rate of $1 to SAR3.748, which amounted to SAR233.5 million (SAR233,527,252.47).
“The opening balance of the IBAN- E track for 2024 Hajj activities was SAR19.8 million (SAR19,813,810.89) and has an inflow of SAR485 million (SAR485,000,000) from NAHCON with a closing balance of SAR78.985 million (SAR 78,985,266.03).
“The closing balance is inclusive of the SAR20,637,908.23 (SAR20.6 million) refunded from the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah Saudi Arabia,” the investigators explained.
The EFCC and the ICPC have continued investigating the N90 billion Hajj grant entrusted to NAHCON for the 2024 Hajj operations.
However, NAHCON’s boss, Mr Arabi, denied any wrongdoings and defended how the subsidy was spent in July.
Mr Arabi, appointed the Hajj commission’s chairman on 17 October 2023, said during a post-Hajj press briefing on 29 July that NAHCON incurred additional costs beyond the N90 billion grant received from the federal government to ensure the exercise’s success.
According to him, about N80 billion of the Hajj subsidy was expended as subsidies for 50,000 pilgrims from the states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), each receiving N1.6 million.
He also said other pilgrims under the Hajj Savings Scheme (HSS) and all officials of the commission used up over N10 billion.
According to him, the CBN deducted a two-percent service charge per pilgrim, amounting to about 1.7 billion.
Additionally, Mr Arabi said NAHCON paid around N4 billion to cover unexpected, additional accommodation costs in Medina. A document he shared stated that the commission initially estimated the cost at Saudi Riyal (SR) 850 per bed space for 11,000 spaces. But it said the money could only secure 8,754 spaces.
He said the additional expenses and the CBN deductions resulted in a loss of approximately N6 billion for NAHCON.

Former military head of state, General Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd), has passionately urged the citizens of Nigeria to set aside their differences and unify in the defense of their nation’s sovereignty.
His call to action came in light of alarming statements made by former US President Donald Trump, which Abubakar characterized as a serious threat to the hard-earned unity of Nigeria.
Over the weekend, Trump reignited a contentious debate regarding Nigeria’s pressing security issues by once again designating the country as a “country of particular concern.”
In a statement released on Friday, Trump made shocking claims about the state of affairs in Nigeria, asserting that the nation was enduring what he termed a “Christian genocide.”
He went on to accuse the Nigerian government of failing in its duty to protect Christians from violent attacks carried out by “Islamic terrorists.”
Abubakar’s response underscores the importance of solidarity among Nigerians in the face of external criticisms and challenges.
He went further to threaten military action, saying: “The USA will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country ‘guns-a-blazing’, to completely wipe out the Islamic terrorists killing Christians.”
The remark has sparked global concern and speculation about the possibility of direct US military involvement in Nigeria, one of Washington’s oldest allies in Africa.
Speaking in a telephone interview from London on Monday, Abdulsalami warned that Trump’s words could endanger Nigeria’s peace if not carefully managed.
He called on citizens to remain united, stressing that the moment demands “unity, wisdom, and diplomacy” rather than anger or division.
“Unity, wisdom, and diplomacy must take precedence over division and pride at this critical moment,” he said.
Abdulsalami also appealed to the United States to support Nigeria’s fight against insecurity through cooperation rather than threats.
According to him, “strategic dialogue” remains the most effective way to engage Washington and de-escalate the tension.
He added that Nigeria should rely on quiet diplomacy to resolve any misunderstandings and ensure that both countries continue to work together on shared security objectives.
It is clear that the United States’ frustration with the Nigerian government goes beyond reports of genocide.
The American President, Donald Trump, and Nigerian President Bola Tinubu have been engaged in a silent conflict for some time.
Trump has often been described as a “bully,” even by prominent politicians in the U.S. and around the world, due to his lawless and reckless leadership style, as noted by Barack Obama.
Trump has expressed discomfort with President Tinubu’s body language and has been critical of certain policies.
In turn, President Tinubu retaliated against some of Trump’s decisions regarding Nigeria.
The beginning of Trump’s anger – BRICS Partnership
President Donald Trump’s anger began when Nigeria was formally admitted as a BRICS partner country in January 2025 under Brazil’s presidency.
At the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro, President Bola Tinubu reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to the grouping, which also includes powerhouses like Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa and newer members such as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Indonesia.
This comes after Brazilian president and the current chairman of BRICS, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, condemned the Trump administration’s worldwide tariff increase imposed on almost all countries around the world.
Trump was quick to respond to his Brazilian counterpart’s comments, imposing additional 10 per cent tariffs on BRICS and its partners, which he has repeatedly warned against engaging in anti-American policies.
Trump had imposed a 14 per cent reciprocity tariff on Nigeria in April 2025, which became the ninth BRICS partner country in January 2025 and additional 10 per cent over its alliance with the developing nations’ bloc. Nigeria’s affiliation with the BRICS nations further anger the American leader.
President Tinubu responded with calm, saying that his administration will remain resilient and has no fear of the trade policy direction of U.S. President Donald Trump, particularly tariffs targeting Nigerian exports.
Tinubu said, “If non-oil revenue is growing, then we have no fear of whatever Trump is doing on the other side.”
This response clearly provoked more anger from Trump.
The anger lingered more as President Donald Trump ignored Nigeria, only to invite five other African nations to discuss ” Commercial Opportunities”.
Trump hosted five African leaders from Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mauritania, and Senegal at the White House to discuss “commercial opportunities” on July 9, 2025.
Nigeria was not among the nations invited, even though, the criteria for the invitation were not clear.
After hitting Nigeria with a 14% tariff, the U.S. faced similar backlash as President Tinubu retaliated with a ban on 25 American goods, leaving Trump to complain about the response.
Following the ban on 25 imported items from the United States of America to Nigeria, there were strong indications that Donald Trump’s government may retaliate by blacklisting more Nigerian products.
The development comes as the country imported about $643.1 million worth of goods from Nigeria between January and February 2025 before the implementation of the new tariffs by the Trump government.
Trump’s administration quickly criticised Nigeria’s longstanding import ban on 25 product categories, warning that the policy undermines American exporters and blocks access to one of Africa’s largest consumer markets.
Nigeria refuses to accept Venezuelan deportees from the US
Tinubu’s government again rejected Trump’s proposal of accepting deportees from the United States, distancing itself from decisions by countries like Rwanda, Eswatini and South Sudan that have agreed to receive foreign nationals expelled from the United States of America.
Trump reacted again with another policy to target Nigerian citizens
After Nigeria had rejected being the country of deportees from the United States, the US tightens visa rules for Nigerians, scrutinises applicants’ social media accounts.
The latest rule by the US as the Trump administration intensifies immigration crackdown, mainly targeting African countries like Nigeria.
The US has announced a new visa rule for Nigerians, requiring all applicants to disclose their social media usernames and handles from the past five years for vetting.
‘‘Omitting social media information could lead to visa denial and ineligibility for future visas,’’ the US Embassy in Nigeria said in a statement on X on Monday, adding that visa applicants are ‘‘required to list all social media usernames or handles of every platform they have used from the last 5 years on the DS-160 visa application form.’’
Meanwhile, Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has warned Nigerians that the threat by the administration of United States President Donald Trump to invade Nigeria militarily should not be regarded as a welcome development.
Trump had warned that if the Nigerian government fails to tackle the alleged massacre of Christians, the US military would intervene to target those allegedly persecuting Christians.
The development has generated mixed reactions, with some stakeholders, particularly Christians, celebrating Trump’s move.
However, Sowore, in a statement on Sunday, cautioned that the threat should not be celebrated, explaining that a military intervention could cause more harm to the nation.
According to him, the US President “does not care about Nigerians, not Christians, Muslims, or anyone else.”
Sowore stressed that the nation’s deliverance will “never come from abroad; it must come from within, through real leadership, not the Tinubus of this world, and national renewal.”
The statement reads: “The latest threat by US President Donald Trump @POTUS to launch military action in Nigeria, allegedly to protect Christians, may sound appealing to some. Still, history has shown this to be perilous.
Whether you are Christian, Muslim, animist, or non-religious, no one should celebrate such rhetoric. The United States and its allies have a long record of military interventions that leave nations more unstable than before.
They failed to secure peace in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, or Syria, and they will not bring salvation to Nigeria through bombs or boots on the ground.
What Nigeria truly needs is not a foreign savior, but legitimate accountable leadership, one that protects all citizens, upholds justice, and ends the cycles of corruption and violence that have left the nation broken.”
The clash between Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan and Senate President Godswill Akpabio continues to intensify, as new court charges have emerged that could have significant repercussions for the supporters of the Kogi State Senator.
In a recent development, the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and the Minister of Justice has publicly defended the legitimacy of the defamation charges that were filed against Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan.
The AGF emphasized that these charges were instituted in strict accordance with the provisions outlined in the Penal Code Law of Nigeria as well as the country’s Constitution. This assertion suggests that the legal proceedings are being pursued with a clear adherence to established legal frameworks, potentially setting the stage for a high-profile court battle that may draw further public interest and scrutiny.
As the situation unfolds, the implications for both political figures and their respective supporters will likely become more pronounced in the coming weeks.
The AGF’s office stated this in its response to the senator’s preliminary objection to the three-count criminal charge pending before the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court, Maitama, presided over by Justice Chizoba Oji.
The charges against Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central Senatorial District, stemmed from petitions filed by Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, following her public claims that the duo had conspired to assassinate her.
AGF Insists Charges Are Lawful
In its counter-affidavit, the AGF’s office maintained that the decision to prosecute the senator was taken after a comprehensive investigation by the Nigeria Police Force, which reviewed all petitions from both the complainants and the defendant.
“The three counts were preferred against the defendant pursuant to the Penal Code Law of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and in the bona fide exercise of the prosecutorial powers of the Honourable Attorney-General of the Federation as guaranteed under the Constitution,” the prosecution stated.Legal consultation services
It further argued that the senator’s actions contravened provisions of the law, stressing that the case was filed “in the public interest, the interest of justice, and to prevent abuse of legal process.”
According to the AGF’s office, the charges were neither politically motivated nor an abuse of prosecutorial power.
“The criminal charge against the defendant arose from the comprehensive and conclusive investigation of the case, including all petitions and parties involved, by the Nigeria Police Force.”
“The charge against the defendant is consistent with extant laws and does not constitute an abuse of the legal or prosecutorial powers of the Honourable Attorney-General of the Federation,” the document read.
Defendant Challenges AGF’s Powers
At the last sitting on September 23, defence counsel Ehighioge West-Idahosa (SAN) had filed a preliminary objection challenging the validity of the charges.
He argued that the AGF’s office had overreached its constitutional powers, describing the prosecution as an abuse of process.
According to him, the objection was not contesting the facts of the case but rather the legality and jurisdictional competence of the AGF to initiate such charges.
The objection, filed on September 18, was yet to receive a response from the prosecution at the time of the previous hearing.
Prosecution Seeks Adjournment for Proper Service
When the matter came up on Monday, prosecuting counsel David Kaswe informed the court that although the case was slated for hearing, the prosecution’s counter-affidavit had not been properly served on the defence.
He explained that the document was delivered to an incorrect address and requested a short adjournment to rectify the error.
“It would not be fair for the prosecution to proceed when the defence has indicated its intention to respond to our counter,” Kaswe told the court.
Responding, West-Idahosa confirmed that the defence team had not been served and would only respond after receiving the document. He also requested a longer adjournment, citing plans by the defence team to attend the International Bar Association (IBA) Conference in Canada.
After listening to both sides, Justice Oji granted the request and adjourned the matter to December 1, 2025, for hearing of the preliminary objection.
Background of the Case
The case, marked FCT/HC/CR/297/25, accuses Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan of making harmful and defamatory statements against Akpabio and Bello, including allegations that they plotted to assassinate her and that the Senate President was linked to the death of Miss Iniobong Umoren.
The senator was arraigned on June 19 and pleaded not guilty to all three counts.
The court is expected to rule on her preliminary objection before proceeding to trial.
Meanwhile, the Senator representing Kogi Central has alleged that her international passport has been withheld.
She alleged that she had been prevented from travelling.
The lawmaker made the allegation in a live Facebook broadcast on Tuesday morning.
According to her, “having completed the celebration of my second year, I decided to take a week off and my passport is being withheld again. The same thing happened.
“I have committed no offense and there is no order from the court to seize my passport and deny me traveling.
“The last time it happened, the officer in charge told us that the Senate President Godswill Akpabio instructed them to withhold my passport and prevent me from traveling”.
Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan was to be inaugurated on Monday, with the internet still blocked after election protests in which the opposition says hundreds were killed by security forces.
The electoral commission says Hassan won 98 per cent of the vote.
But the main opposition party, Chadema, which was barred from competing, has rejected the results and called for fresh elections, calling last Wednesday’s vote a “sham”.
State television said the public would not attend the inauguration, which would be held in the State House in the capital, Dodoma, rather than at a stadium as usual.
A total internet blackout has been in place since protests broke out on election day, so only a trickle of verifiable information has been getting out of the East African country.
A diplomatic source said there were credible reports of hundreds — perhaps even thousands — of deaths registered at hospitals and health clinics around Tanzania.
Chadema told AFP it had recorded “no less than 800” deaths by Saturday, but none of the figures could be independently verified.
The government has not commented on any deaths, except to reject accusations that “excessive force” was used.
Schools and colleges remained closed on Monday, with public transport halted.
The diplomatic source said there were “concerning reports” that police were using the internet blackout to buy time as they “hunt down opposition members and protesters who might have videos” of atrocities committed last week.
Dar es Salaam and other cities were much calmer over the weekend as a near-total lockdown was in place.
An AFP reporter said police were stopping almost everyone who moved around the city, checking IDs and bags, and allowing shops to open only in the afternoon.
AFP journalists on the island of Zanzibar — which has greater political freedom and saw few protests — saw masked armed men patrolling without visible insignia or identification in the days after the election.
A rights group in neighbouring Kenya presented gruesome footage on Sunday that it said was gathered from inside Tanzania, including images of dead bodies piled up in the street.
The images could not be independently verified.
Pope Leo XIV on Sunday called for prayers for Tanzania, where he said post-election violence had erupted “with numerous victims”.
“I urge everyone to avoid all forms of violence and to pursue the path of dialogue,” the pope said.
– ‘Wave of terror’ –
Hassan was elevated from vice-president on the sudden death of her predecessor, John Magufuli, in 2021.
She wanted an emphatic election victory to cement her place and silence critics within the ruling party, analysts say.
Rights groups say she oversaw a “wave of terror” ahead of the vote, including a string of high-profile abductions that escalated in the final days.
Despite a heavy security presence, election day descended into chaos as crowds took to the streets across the country, tearing down her posters and attacking police and polling stations, leading to an internet shutdown and curfew.
Polling stations had been largely empty before the violence broke out, AFP journalists and observers saw, though the electoral commission later said turnout was 87 per cent.
UN chief Antonio Guterres was “deeply concerned” about the situation in Tanzania, “including reports of deaths and injuries during the demonstrations”, his spokesman said last week.

The Nigerian Education Loan Fund has announced that applications for the student loan scheme have surpassed one million, marking one of the largest uptakes for a government-backed social intervention since the beginning of the Tinubu administration.
In a statement on Sunday, the Director of Strategic Communications, Nigerian Education Loan Fund, Oseyemi Oluwatuyi, said the milestone was achieved less than a year after the programme was launched on May 24, 2024.
He described it as evidence that the scheme is gaining strong national traction and public trust.
According to the agency, over N116bn has so far been disbursed to students across universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education in Nigeria, covering both institutional charges and upkeep allowances.
The Managing Director of NELFUND, Akintunde Sawyerr, said the milestone reflects the success of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda in expanding access to higher education.
“Crossing the one-million mark represents more than data; it symbolises renewed hope for a generation of Nigerians determined to rise above financial barriers to education,” Sawyerr said. “It is a testament to visionary leadership, sound policy design, and the collective effort of all stakeholders driving this transformative agenda.”
NELFUND reiterated its commitment to continuous improvement in service delivery, ensuring that “every qualified Nigerian student, regardless of background or location, can access education funding with transparency, efficiency, and dignity.”
The agency emphasised that the student loan programme is non-discriminatory, benefiting Nigerians across religious and ethnic backgrounds, and helping to promote unity through equal learning opportunities.
“NELFUND remains focused on ensuring that no Nigerian is denied the opportunity to learn, grow, or contribute to national progress because of financial limitations,” the statement added.

BREAKING: Tension As US Releases Video Of How American Military Will Storm Nigeria To Kill “Islamic Terrorists”
The United States (US) Department of War has released an artificial intelligence (AI) video simulating how it will storm Nigeria to kill “Islamic terrorists”.
The defence department of the US, which President Donald Trump renamed the Department of War, insinuated that it is “preparing for action” in Nigeria.
Dominik Tarczyński, a member of the European Parliament, shared the video on his verified X (formerly Twitter) handle late on Saturday night, November 1.
Tarczyński tweeted: “Nigerian Christians will be rescued very soon!”
Trump said on Saturday, November 1, had asked the Defence Department to prepare for possible “fast” military action in Nigeria if Africa’s most populous country fails to crack down on the killing of Christians.
