 The credibility of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) voters’ register has come under intense scrutiny ahead of the 2027 general elections, following revelations by INEC Chairman Professor Joash Amupitan that names of deceased persons remain on the register. Amupitan disclosed that names of voters who died as far back as 15 years ago are still listed, a situation critics say could undermine the integrity of the 2027 polls and lead to significant financial waste through the printing of excess ballot papers and other election logistics. The INEC chairman made the revelation while receiving the Director-General/Chief Executive Officer of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), Abisoye Coker-Odusote, and her management team during a courtesy visit in Abuja on Wednesday. Amupitan announced that INEC has entered into a partnership with NIMC to deliver a credible voters’ register and transparent elections. He said INEC would leverage NIMC’s robust data archi...

 Troops of OPHK Repel ISWAP Attack, Neutralize Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device and Recover Logistics


Troops of Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK) have successfully repelled a coordinated attack by ISWAP terrorists on troops conducting stabilisation operations in Mairari, delivering a decisive blow to the group’s offensive capability in the area in the late hours of 12 December 2025 uptill this morning.


During the failed attack, terrorists attempted to breach the base using 2 Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (VBIEDs). Both VBIEDs were promptly detected and neutralised by the dogged troops, preventing any penetration of the base. Observations from CCTV footage confirmed that several terrorists were killed and others sustained serious injuries, with surviving elements seen evacuating their dead and wounded from the scene.


Following the failed assault, troops of Sector 3 OPHK/MNJTF, supported by the Theatre Command Quick Reaction Group, Nigeria Police Crack Team, and Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), conducted a thorough exploitation of the area in the early hours of 13 December 2025. The exploitation led to the discovery of multiple terrorist corpses and a cache of weapons, ammunition, and logistics abandoned during the terrorists’ hasty withdrawal.


Items recovered include AK-47 rifles, magazines and ammunition,  belts of PKT rounds, hand grenades, motorcycles, communication devices, combat gear, medical and sustainment items, and other materials indicative of sustained terrorist operations. These recoveries further degrade the operational capacity of the terrorists and deny them freedom of action within the area.


Notably, the 2 neutralised VBIEDs were destroyed by OPHK defensive fire system, resulting in significant damage to the road at 2 separate points. However, no breach of the FOB was recorded, underscoring the preparedness and resilience of the troops.


Troops are currently dominating the general area with aggressive fighting patrols to forestall further terrorist activity and reassure local communities of continued security presence.


Troops of OPHK remain resolute in their commitment to decisively defeat all terrorist elements and restore lasting peace and stability across the North East region.
