 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.

Magistrate Orders 10 Strokes of Cane for Bus Conductor Who Slapped Passenger in Kaduna


A Kaduna Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday sentenced a 20-year-old bus conductor, Abubakar Shehu, to 10 strokes of the cane for assaulting a female passenger over a dispute about transportation fare.


Magistrate Ibrahim Emmanuel delivered the judgment after Shehu pleaded guilty to the charge of assault. The magistrate said the court had been lenient because the convict admitted the offence and did not waste the court’s time. He warned Shehu to refrain from similar conduct in future, stressing that the court would not treat such behaviour lightly again.


Emmanuel also ordered the convict to write an undertaking to be of good behaviour.


Prosecutor Inspector Chidi Leo told the court that the offence occurred on July 24 at Kawo in Kaduna. According to the prosecutor, Shehu had an altercation with the complainant, Hadiza Rabiu, over the transport fare and slapped her twice on the face. The act, Leo said, contravened the Penal Code of Kaduna State, 2017.
