 Türkiye is planning to establish local defence production facilities and military training centres in Nigeria as part of efforts to strengthen security cooperation and increase bilateral trade to $5 billion. Turkish Ambassador to Nigeria, Mehmet Poroy, disclosed this on Monday in Abuja, saying the proposed facilities would enable Türkiye to support local military equipment production rather than simply supplying weapons and equipment. He also revealed that 200 Nigerian special forces personnel were undergoing a two-month training programme in Türkiye, with plans underway to establish a similar facility in Nigeria. “We are planning to have some local production unit also in that context, not only selling to Nigeria the tools, equipment, the arms that it needs, but also the possibility of having local production here in Nigeria,” Poroy said.

A HIGH SCHOOL IN MAINE HAS SUSPENDED 19 STUDENTS AFTER THEY BANDED TOGETHER TO CONFRONT A SUSPECTED BULLY.(PHOTO).


 A high school in Maine has suspended 19 students after they banded together to confront a suspected bully.


The 19 students at Oxford Hills High School have all been suspended after administration learned they banded together and confronted a potential bully.


The entire situation is in regard to a report that a student was bullying a non-verbal autistic boy at the bus stop.


The school principal, Paul Bickford, contends they had investigated the initial bullying allegations and stated, "There was no intended violence, bullying, or actual physical harm involving the bus line interaction."  Bickford continued, "This action (by the 19 students) created an intimidating and threatening environment."


However, some parents of children at the school believe the children did the right thing. One parent whose son attends the school said that the confronted student was, in fact, "verbally bullying the autistic child".  She stated "the group was only standing up for another student who couldn't stand up for himself". She said the children "did it right and kept their hands off, only using their words". She went on to share, "They (the 19 students) confronted a bully who has been known to injure people who cannot defend themselves".


Although principal Bickford characterized the incident as "nothing but a rumor" it appears most in the community support the group of students.
