AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Arms and school abductions crackdown: Niger State’s Papiri school kidnapping case is getting more arrests, as Nigeria’s DSS says it has detained five suspected arms couriers (including two Nigeriens) tied to the November 2025 attack on St. Mary’s Catholic School, recovering 15 AK rifles and 1,434 rounds of ammunition. Political blame game over Oyo abduction: Isaac Fayose has publicly challenged his brother Ayodele Fayose after Ayodele suggested the Oyo school abduction may have been politically orchestrated to damage President Tinubu ahead of 2027. Niger State governance and roads: Niger’s government defended road contracts covering over 1,000km, saying procurement followed the law, while officials highlighted major flyovers, ring-road work, and other projects under the “New Niger Agenda.” Security and elections pressure: Niger ADC figures and aspirants are trading claims around petitions and disqualification ahead of 2027, as opposition groups warn elections may not be credible. Regional politics: ECOWAS leadership transition is framed as a make-or-break moment amid fragmentation after Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso left the bloc.
