 Niger says military activity in capital brought under control Niger's defense minister said Saturday that military activity in the capital, Niamey, had been brought under control and security forces had regained control of critical sites that were targeted. Gen. Salifou Mody's remarks were broadcast on national television after heavy gunfire and explosions were reported around Diori Hamani International Airport and the presidential palace in Niamey. Mody said a group of soldiers had "broken away from military order" and attempted to detain some of their fellow soldiers at the Base 101 military facility in Niamey before opening fire on several critical sites in the capital. He said the activity was brought under control thanks to the swift intervention of Nigerien defense and security forces, adding that control was gradually restored in the targeted areas. Mody urged residents of Niamey to remain calm and continue their daily activities as usual.

 World Cup Playoffs: Fredrick was the most infuential player - Oliseh


Former Super Eagles captain Sunday Oliseh has heaped praise on young defender Benjamin Fredrick following Nigeria’s 4–1 extra-time triumph over Gabon in the semi-final of the 2026 World Cup African playoffs.

Reacting on X on Friday, Oliseh singled out Fredrick as “the most influential player” on the pitch for Nigeria, applauding the 20-year-old’s awareness, speed and clarity in decision-making, as well as his calm, uncomplicated style of defending.

“I personally found Benjamin Fredrick to be the most influential player yesterday versus Gabon for the Super Eagles. Always well-positioned, pacy, decisive and played simply,” the former national team coach wrote, joking that victories always make mornings feel better.

He said, “Let’s enjoy today, but from tomorrow Congo should be our next victim. Boy, it feels great when Naija do well, sha! Abi I lie?”

Nigeria now await the outcome of the Cameroon versus DR Congo fixture, with the winners to meet the Super Eagles on 16 November. The victors of that tie will progress to the inter-continental playoffs for a shot at the 2026 World Cup.
