 NAF INTENSIFIES AIRPOWER CAMPAIGN, STRENGTHENS AIR PRESENCE IN SOKOTO TO DENY TERRORISTS FREEDOM OF ACTION The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has intensified its airpower campaign against terrorism, banditry, kidnapping and other criminal activities across the North-West, with a strengthened air presence in Sokoto State to support ongoing joint security operations. The initiative reflects the Service’s determination to sustain pressure on hostile elements, enhance aerial surveillance and maintain the capacity for rapid response to emerging threats, while providing effective air support to ground forces operating within the Joint Operations Area. The strengthened air presence is particularly significant in the fight against asymmetric threats, where terrorists and bandits exploit difficult terrain, mobility and concealment to evade ground forces. By leveraging the reach, speed, flexibility and precision of airpower, the NAF is better positioned to support efforts to locate, disrupt and d...

 BUSINESSMAN CRIES OUT AFTER BENUE URBAN BOARD TEAM DESTROYS ONGOING PROJECT


23rd July, 2025      


 A small business operator in Makurdi has expressed deep frustration following the demolition of his construction project by officials alleged to be from the Benue State Urban Development Board (UDB), despite previously receiving approval to continue the work.


Speaking to newsmen, the victim, who recently commenced work on a commercial structure along Jagsu Filling Station by International Market Road near Nyon Junction, narrated that he had initially halted construction when approached by a UDB official identified as Gwaza Amile in early May.


“I stopped work as directed and followed Mr. Gwaza to his superior. After making commitments, they gave me the go-ahead to continue with my building,” he said.


However, trouble began when another individual, identified only as Paul and claiming to be a coordinator with the board, allegedly began making separate financial demands. The businessman claims Paul insisted all payments must go through him.


“Paul kept insisting that I settle him directly. This morning, to my shock, a team came and demolished almost everything I had built. I am devastated,” he said.


According to him, the damages could cost him nearly one million naira to repair destruction he believes could have been avoided had he been treated fairly.


“I feel ashamed because Paul, who did this, is my fellow Tiv man. He didn't even give me the chance to meet his demands. I'm sure whatever he wanted wouldn't have cost up to 100,000 naira,” he added.


Despite the setback, the businessman remains optimistic.


“As God lives, I will rebuild this project—this time even better than before.”


The incident raises questions about transparency and internal coordination within government regulatory bodies and highlights the struggles faced by small-scale entrepreneurs navigating bureaucracy in Benue State.
