A former Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai, says the ongoing battle against organised crime in Nigeria requires a comprehensive and collaborative approach from law enforcement agencies, government entities and the general public to protect the well-being and future of Nigeria. Daily Trust reported.
He spoke in Abuja Tuesday at an international conference on ‘Organised Crime Network as Emergent Threats to National Security’, organised by the Igbinedion University, Okada, Edo State and Buratai Center for Contemporary Security Affairs and other partnering agencies.
He noted that the alarming reality of ongoing criminal activities, ranging from the illicit theft of about 500 barrels of crude oil on a daily basis to the calculated displacement of communities for the purpose of mining minerals cannot be ignored and should be acted upon.
“These multifaceted crimes not only undermine the stability and well-being of affected regions but also perpetuate a cycle of violence and exploitation.”

Human rights activist and AAC presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has alleged that the suspended governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, will not face prosecution due to the involvement of other influential figures.
Sowore asserts that if Emefiele were to be tried for his alleged offenses, it would implicate not only former President Muhammadu Buhari but also various APC stakeholders, governors, senators, and other influential personalities.
In a series of tweets, Sowore suggests that Emefiele’s continued detention by the Department of State Security (DSS) serves as a strategic move to shield those in power. Drawing a similarity with the Sambo Dasuki case in 2015, he implies that the charges against Emefiele are a smokescreen to conceal his true criminal activities.
