 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.

 CLARIFICATION ON ALLEGED CASE OF MISSING NDA CADET: CADET STEPHEN KUBAMA GANI


The attention of the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) has been drawn to reports circulating across various online media platforms as regards the missing of Cadet Stephen Kubama Gani. The report alleged that the Cadet mysteriously went missing from the Academy without appropriate actions taken by NDA to ascertain his whereabouts. 


To set the record straight in the interest of accuracy and transparency, Cadet SK Gani was admitted into the Academy as a member of 76 Regular Course and reported for training on 26 August 2024. His training progressed without any hitch, but he was observed to have absented himself from the Academy with effect from 28 April 2025 without official permission. In accordance with established procedures and extant regulations guiding cadets administration in NDA, his parents were formally notified 3 days after his absence. Seven days after the occurrence, he was struck off strength following due administrative procedures. Meanwhile, feedback received later from his parents, revealed that his whereabouts could not be ascertained and it led to renewed investigative procedure by the Academy which is still ongoing. 


It is significant to reiterate that the training and administration of cadets in NDA are strictly governed by military laws, procedures and time-honoured traditions as spelt out in the Code of Conducts of the Academy. The NDA therefore calls on the general public to discountenance the claim that the institution is doing nothing about the Cadet's mysterious disappearance. 


While we continue to engage all parties in this matter to ensure a positive outcome, we wish to reiterate that the NDA takes the safety and wellbeing of all its cadets seriously. Adequate structures are on ground to ensure every cadet is accounted for through regular stop checks and physical inspections. 


The NDA remains a bastion of military and academic excellence, founded on the ideals of discipline, diligence, loyalty, honour and valour. The Academy continues to uphold the vision of its founding fathers by producing highly trained, dedicated and loyal officers for the Armed Forces of Nigeria.
