 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.

 Iran Executes Foreign National Linked to Deadly January Protests


Iran has executed a foreign national convicted of participating in the deadly protests that swept across several cities in January, state media and judicial sources confirmed. The individual, whose identity and nationality have not been fully disclosed by authorities, was executed following a trial that has once again drawn sharp condemnation from international human rights organizations.


Charges and Conviction


According to reports from the judiciary’s official news outlet, the defendant was found guilty of "moharebeh" (waging war against God) and direct involvement in violent clashes that resulted in the deaths of security personnel during the unrest. The prosecution alleged that the individual had acted in coordination with foreign intelligence entities to destabilize public order.


Concerns Over Due Process


Human rights watchdogs have raised serious concerns over the legal proceedings leading to the execution. Activists argue that the trial was conducted in a Revolutionary Court with limited transparency, where defendants are routinely denied access to independent legal counsel.


Critics of the regime state that the rapid escalation from arrest to execution is intended to deter future demonstrations. International observers continue to call on Iran to halt all executions and establish a moratorium on the death penalty.


Rising Geopolitical Tensions


The execution comes amid heightened tensions between Tehran and several foreign governments. The involvement of foreign nationals in domestic protests has often been cited by Iranian officials as evidence of external interference, while foreign capitals view these arrests as arbitrary and politically motivated.
