 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.

Former student opens fire at Turkish high school, wounds 16 before killing himself


A former student opened fire at a vocational high school in southeastern Turkey on Tuesday, injuring at least 16 people before taking his own life, according to officials.

The 18-year-old attacker used a shotgun to fire randomly inside the school in Siverek in Sanliurfa province before briefly taking cover inside the building. Authorities said he later died by suicide using the same weapon after being cornered by police.

Officials said those injured included 10 students, four teachers, a cafeteria worker, and a police officer. Several victims were treated locally, while five students and teachers with more serious injuries were transferred to a hospital in the provincial capital.

The motive for the attack is still unknown, and such incidents are considered rare in Turkey. Authorities said all students were evacuated from the school as police units responded and worked to secure the building.

Video from the scene showed students running out of the school and gathering outside as emergency responders arrived. A full investigation into the shooting is underway.
