 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.

  TWO NIGERIANS ARRESTED AS UGANDA UNCOVERS ALLEGED INTERNATIONAL DRUG & DOCUMENT FRAUD NETWORK


Ugandan authorities have arrested two Nigerian nationals following the dismantling of an alleged international drug trafficking and document fraud syndicate operating in Kampala.


According to Uganda’s Ministry of Internal Affairs, the operation was intelligence-led and carried out in collaboration with multiple security agencies.


Authorities linked the network to Ugandan businessman Mugisha Keith King, who is accused of operating a sophisticated criminal syndicate involving forged identities, shell companies, and impersonation of government and military officials.


The two Nigerians in custody were identified as Ikemefuna Testimony Udo and Ikemefuna Annointing, both allegedly connected to the operation.


Security operatives reportedly recovered firearms, ammunition, passports, identity cards, military-style clothing, communication gadgets, and suspected forged documents during raids on residences and business locations.


Ugandan authorities also alleged that another suspect, Ms. Ikemefuna Winner Chekwubechukwu, fraudulently obtained Ugandan identification documents and is currently on the run in Brazil.


The Ugandan government says it remains committed to cracking down on drug trafficking, document fraud, and illegal activities threatening national security.
