 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.

 LIMPOPO POLICE RECOVER STOLEN NAVARA AFTER SUSPECTS FLEE INTO ZIMBABWE


Limpopo police have recovered a suspected stolen Nissan Navara after armed suspects allegedly attempted to flee into Zimbabwe following a high-speed pursuit along the borderline in Musina.


The incident occurred on Saturday, 15 August 2026, when members of the Beitbridge Task Team were conducting patrols along the N1, the borderline and within the Musina policing area.


According to SAPS, officers spotted a white Nissan Navara travelling at high speed along Malala Drift Road towards the border.


Police followed the vehicle, with assistance from the South African National Defence Force (SANDF), as the suspects drove towards the Limpopo River.


The suspects allegedly opened fire on police when they reached the river and attempted to cross into Zimbabwe. Police returned fire, while additional Beitbridge SAPS members were deployed as backup.


The suspects eventually abandoned the vehicle on the Zimbabwean side of the riverbank and fled into Zimbabwe.


Despite the difficult terrain, police members entered the river and recovered the abandoned Nissan Navara.


No police officers were injured during the incident.


Preliminary investigations revealed that the vehicle had allegedly been reported stolen in Brooklyn, Gauteng, during August 2026. It has since been seized for further investigation.


The suspects remain at large, and a manhunt has been launched.


He said law enforcement agencies would continue working together to prevent criminals from using the country’s borders as escape routes.


The investigation and manhunt are continuing.
