 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.

 NIGERIA POLICE FORCE CRACKS DOWN ON JAMB  FRAUD SYNDICATE, TRACES ACTIVITIES TO LATE NEPHEW


Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force Intelligence, Operations, and Investigation Unit attached to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) National Headquarters have uncovered a fraud syndicate, arresting one suspect while efforts remain underway to apprehend the principal culprit.


The operation originated from a petition submitted on 10th August, 2026, by the Registrar of JAMB, Professor Segun Aina, alleging criminal conspiracy, impersonation, identity theft, and fraud. Following approval of the Inspector-General of police, Police, operatives launched an immediate investigation that extended to Nasarawa and Katsina States to track down those involved. However, individuals initially tracked in those states were discovered to be victims who had been defrauded by the syndicate while the criminals impersonated the Registrar.


Investigators revealed that the syndicate created fake social media accounts using the Registrar's identity to defraud unsuspecting members of the public under the guise of providing official services. Through intelligence gathering, operatives analyzed the phone numbers and bank account details used in the scheme. The track led to Anambra State, where police arrested Nwogba Arinze, who had been posing as the Personal Assistant to the Registrar.


Further investigation revealed that Arinze, taken into custody on 27th August, 2026, used the bank account of his deceased nephew, Edeh Chimezie Benedict, to conceal his identity and evade detection. The suspect had been entrusted with the late nephew’s account details and debit cards to assist with funeral arrangements done on 31st July, 2026.


Police are currently pursuing the fleeing principal suspect, Nnabuife Nwekpa, a close relative of Arinze. Arinze remains in police custody and is cooperating with investigators to assist in apprehending Nwekpa and any other accomplices.


The Nigeria Police Force advises the general public to remain vigilant and report suspicious online activities immediately to the Nigeria Police Force National CyberCrime Center (NPF-NCCC). The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, psc (+), NPM, reiterates the Force’s commitment to combating crime and upholding public integrity across the nation.
