 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.

 TROOPS OF OPERATION FANSAN YAMMA ARREST TERRORIST LOGISTICS COURIERS, RESCUE 14 KIDNAPPED VICTIMS IN KATSINA STATE


Troops of Joint Task Force North West, Operation FANSAN YAMMA (JTF NW OPFY) arrested three terrorist logistics couriers and rescued 14 kidnapped victims during separate operations in Faskari Local Government Area of Katsina State.


On 24 September 2026, troops of Sector 2 intercepted three suspects travelling on a motorcycle in Faskari Local Government Area. Preliminary interrogation revealed that the suspects were conveying the sum of ₦2.7 million, suspected to be ransom money, alongside three mobile phones, for onward transfer to a terrorist kingpin through intermediaries within the area. The suspects, and the recovered items are in military custody for further investigation.


Similarly, on 25 September 2026, troops of Sector 2, acting on credible intelligence about the movement of terrorists in Faskari Local Government Area, established an ambush position and engaged the terrorists, forcing them to flee in disarray. Exploitation of the area subsequently led to the recovery of one AK-47 rifle, 30 rounds of ammunition and one motorcycle.


In a related development on the same day, troops conducting a routine patrol intercepted and rescued 14 kidnapped victims comprising 12 males and 2 females. Preliminary investigation revealed that the victims had earlier been abducted from Anguwan Miko and Tafoki villages in Faskari Local Government Area.


The victims were reportedly abandoned by the terrorists upon sighting the advancing troops. They were subsequently rescued and handed over to the Faskari Local Government authorities for further necessary action.


The successes underscore the commitment of Operation FANSAN YAMMA to protecting the lives and property of citizens, rescuing persons held in terrorist captivity and denying terrorists and other criminal elements freedom of action across the Joint Operations Area.


The Theatre Command commends the troops for their vigilance, courage and prompt response, and urges members of the public to continue providing timely and credible information to security agencies on suspicious movements and activities within their communities.
