HQ Nigerian Army

HQ Nigerian Army The Nigerian Army official page. In 1865, the "Glover Hausa" became a regular force with the name "Hausa Constabulary".

The history of the Nigerian Army dates to 1863, when Lt Glover of the Royal Navy selected 18 indigenes from the Northern part of the country and organized them into a local force, known as the "Glover Hausas". The small force was used by Glover as governor of Lagos to mount punitive expedition in the Lagos hinterland and to protect British trade routes around Lagos. It performed both police and mi

litary duties for the Lagos colonial government. It later became "Lagos Constabulary". On incorporation into the West Africa Frontier Force (WAFF) in 1901, it became "Lagos Battalion". In addition to this force, the British Government included the Royal Niger Company (RNC), Constabulary Force in Northern Nigeria in 1886 and the Oil Rivers irregular in 1891. In 1889, Lord Fredrick Lugard had formed the incipient body of what was to be known in 1890, as the West Africa Frontier Force, (WAFF), in Jebba, Northern Nigeria. The new unit expanded by absorbing the Northern Nigeria-based elements of the Royal Niger Company (RNC) Constabulary. By the end of 1901, it had incorporated all paramilitary units in the other British dependencies into its command, thus fully meriting its designation "WAFF". The establishment of West Africa Frontier Force (WAFF) led to the merger of all units into regiment in each of the dependencies. The merger in Nigeria produced the Northern Nigerian Regiment and Southern Nigerian Regiment. The First commanders of the Southern Regiments of WAFF were Lt CHP Carter (1899-1901) and Col J Wilcox (1900-1909) respectively. The two regiments were later used for expeditions during the annexation of Nigeria by Lord Lugard between 1901 and 1903.With the amalgamation of Nigeria in 1914, the unification of the Northern and Southern Regiments came into being and this witnessed the birth of the Nigerian Regiments. The Northern Nigerian Regiments became the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Nigerian Regiment, while the Southern Nigerian Regiment became the 3rd and 4th Battalions of the Nigerian Regiments (NR). The Mounted Infantry of the Northern Regiments became the ordinary Infantry Battalion after the Second World War. A field artillery also existed in the Northern Regiment.With the visit of Queen Elizabeth of Britain between 28 January and 15 February, 1956, the Nigerian regiment was renamed the Queens Own Nigerian Regiments (QONR). Also in the same year, the regionalization of the WAFF came into existence and each military force became independent of the other. As a result, the QONR became the Nigerian Military Force (NMF). By 1st June, 1958, the British Army Council in London relinquished control of NMF to the Nigerian Government. In 1960, when Nigeria became independent, the NMF became known as the Royal Nigerian Army (RNA). When Nigeria became a republic, the RNA changed to the Nigerian Army. In the same year, the Army changed its uniform, rank structure and instruments from those of RWAFF to new ones including green khaki uniform.

CHAIRMAN LCBCGF PLEDGES MAXIMUM SUPPORT TO MNJTF

The Chairman of the Lake Chad Basin Commission Governors' Forum (LCBCGF) and Governor of Yobe State, Nigeria, His Excellency Mai Mala Buni, CON, has pledged maximum support to the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) towards the fulfilment of its mandate. The Chairman made the pledge shortly after receiving a security briefing on the Lake Chad Basin Area at Headquarters MNJTF, on the sidelines of the Lake Chad Basin Governors' Forum, hosted in N'Djamena, Chad.

Speaking during the occasion, the Governor commended the MNJTF for the tangible improvement in security, which, he noted, was evident across the Lake Chad Basin Area. He stated that, for the impact of the Commission's developmental activities to be fully realised and optimised, more needed to be done to further improve security across the Lake Chad Basin Area.

He stressed the imperative of having troops on the ground on the islands, especially within the Nigerian and other countries territories of the Lake Chad Basin Area and urged the MNJTF to expedite action in this regard. He also disclosed that discussions were ongoing with the political leadership of the Republic of Niger regarding its return to the MNJTF, noting that the absence of Nigerien Forces provides terrorists a porous area to hibernate, move freely and engage in cross-border criminal activities before launching attacks in other areas.

While expressing appreciation to the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, for the exclusive funding of Operation LAKE SANITY III on behalf of the Troops Contributing Countries as highlighted by the MNJTF Security Brief to the Chairman LCBCGF and Governor Yobe State. He stated that this demonstrated the determination of the President to see to the improvement of security across the Lake Chad Basin Area in order to enhance development and commercial activities. He pledged to brief the President, upon his return to Nigeria, on areas requiring improvement to facilitate increased socio-economic activities.

The Governor commended the foresight of the founding fathers of both the Lake Chad Basin Commission and the Multinational Joint Task Force. He pledged to mobilise the necessary political will to sustain the MNJTF's operations and help curb the infiltration and activities of Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP).

TROOPS STORM IPOB/ESN STRONGHOLDS IN ANAMBRA, RECOVER WEAPONS, IED MATERIALS

Troops of the Joint Task Force South East, Operation UDO KA, have dealt another blow to the operational capability of Indigenous People of Biafra/Eastern Security Network (IPOB/ESN) elements, dismantling identified strongholds and recovering weapons and Improvised Explosive Device (IED)-making materials in Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra State.

The operation was conducted on Saturday, 22 August 2026 in conjunction with the Maritime Component, Department of State Services (DSS) and Anambra Vigilante Group, launched a coordinated dawn offensive on identified strongholds at Obene Village and Abator Village within Ochuche and Umunankwo communities. On sighting the advancing troops, the terrorists opened fire before abandoning their positions and fleeing into the surrounding terrain. Troops responded with superior firepower and immediately pursued the fleeing elements. Blood stains observed along their withdrawal route indicated that some of the terrorists sustained gunshot wounds during the encounter.

During the pursuit, troops neutralised one of the terrorists, while other fleeing members escaped with the co**se of another neutralised member. The coordinated assault effectively dislodged the group from its strongholds, denying its members the freedom to operate or use the locations as bases for further attacks.

A thorough exploitation of the strongholds led to the recovery of two pump-action guns, two motorcycles, IED-making materials and other sundry items. The seizure of the explosive-making materials represents a significant operational gain, as it further degrades the terrorists’ capacity to fabricate explosive devices for attacks against security forces, critical infrastructure and innocent civilians.

Following the operation, troops consolidated their positions and intensified exploitation of the surrounding areas to track fleeing members of the group and prevent their regrouping elsewhere.

The Nigerian Army in conjunction with other security agencies through Joint Task Force South East, Operation UDO KA, remains committed to sustaining pressure on terrorist and criminal networks across the South East. Ongoing operations will continue to deny these elements safe havens, degrade their capabilities and create a more secure environment for law-abiding citizens and communities across the region.

FHQ ESSMGB ORGANISES ROUTE MARCH TO PROMOTE PHYSICAL FITNESS, TEAM SPIRIT

The Force Headquarters, ECOWAS Stabilisation Support Mission in Guinea-Bissau (FHQ ESSMGB), on Saturday 22 August 2026, organised a monthly route march in Bissau, as part of efforts to promote physical fitness, foster teamwork and enhance operational efficiency among personnel.

Speaking after the exercise, the Force Commander ESSMGB, Brigadier General Danjuma Ribah Dantani, stated that the monthly physical training, was aimed at bringing personnel together to maintain physical fitness and overall wellbeing, which he stressed are essential to effective operational performance.

OPERATION HADIN KAI AIR POWER STRIKES TERRORIST CONCENTRATIONS, NEUTRALISES SCORES IN MULTIPLE PRECISION STRIKES

Air platforms of Joint Task Force North East, Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK), have conducted a series of successful intelligence-led precision strikes against terrorist concentrations in different locations across Borno State between the night of 21 and the early hours of 22 August 2026.

The coordinated air operations followed credible intelligence and confirmatory Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions that identified movements and concentrations of suspected terrorists. The strikes successfully degraded the identified targets and disrupted attempts by terrorist elements to assemble, regroup and operate freely within the theatre.

In one of the operations, an armed reconnaissance platform detected and tracked suspected terrorists around the Aduwa axis in Monguno LGA before identifying a larger concentration within a settlement. Following appropriate operational procedures and authorisation, a precision strike was conducted against the identified target. Subsequent Battle Damage Assessment indicated significant effects on the terrorist concentration with about 16 terrorists neutralised in 2 precision strikes.

The platform continued surveillance of the area and subsequently detected another group of terrorists attempting to regroup away from the initial target location. A further precision engagement was conducted, with subsequent assessment indicating that the identified group of about 10 terrorists had also been successfully engaged.

In a separate operation around Buratai in Biu LGA, another Operation HADIN KAI air platform tracked a group of suspected terrorists gathered at a location in the area. Following sustained surveillance and the requisite authorisation, the platform conducted a precision strike which successfully impacted the identified target taking out about 10 other terrorists.

The operations underscore the growing effectiveness of Operation HADIN KAI’s integrated ISR capabilities in detecting and disrupting terrorist movements before they can develop into threats against troops and vulnerable communities. They also demonstrate that attempts by terrorist elements to conceal their movements, disperse into smaller groups or exploit remote locations cannot be relied upon to guarantee freedom from detection.

Beyond the immediate operational effects, the latest strikes are expected to further weaken terrorist freedom of action, disrupt their command and control, and place additional pressure on their logistics and fighting formations. This forms part of the broader campaign by Operation HADIN KAI to degrade terrorist capabilities while creating a more secure environment for communities across the North-East.

The kinetic pressure being sustained against terrorist networks is complemented by Operation HADIN KAI’s non-kinetic efforts, including community engagement, strategic communication, counter-messaging, humanitarian coordination and encouragement of terrorists and their associates to abandon violence and surrender. The increasing number of surrenders recorded in recent weeks further reflects the growing pressure on terrorist networks and reinforces the message that there remains a credible pathway away from terrorism.

Operation HADIN KAI therefore urges members of the public to remain vigilant and continue providing timely and credible information to security forces. Community cooperation remains essential to early threat detection, protection of lives and property, and consolidation of the gains being recorded in the counter-terrorism campaign.

The Joint Task Force will continue to sustain coordinated operations against terrorist networks while supporting conditions for the restoration of peace, security and normal socio-economic activity across the North-East.

TROOPS ARREST SUSPECTED GUNRUNNER, RESCUE KIDNAP VICTIM

Troops of the Nigerian Army have arrested a suspected gunrunner and recovered an AK-47 rifle and other items in Plateau State, while a separate operation in Edo State led to the rescue of a kidnapped victim.

In Plateau State, troops of Operation ENDURING PEACE, in collaboration with vigilantes and local hunters, conducted an intelligence-led raid on Kisayi and Dogon Daji settlements in Bassa Local Government Area. The operation followed the abduction of Dr Abraham Owoicho on 19 August 2026.

During the operation, some occupants fled into the surrounding bush on sighting the troops. However, a 30-year-old woman, identified as Halima Ibrahim, was apprehended while attempting to flee with two AK-47 rifle magazines.

A subsequent cordon and search of her residence at Kisayi B Village led to the recovery of one AK-47 rifle, one locally fabricated revolver, one military jungle hat and three mobile phones. Preliminary investigation indicated that the AK-47 rifle allegedly belonged to her husband, identified as Mr Ibrahim.

In a separate operation in Edo State troops in conjunction with the Edo State Security Corps, laid an ambush at Powerline Uzairue, along the Afawosa–Iyora Road in Etsako West Local Government Area. While at the ambush position, troops sighted suspected kidnappers moving with their victim and engaged them, forcing the criminals to abandon the victim a 35-year-old Mohammed Oboarekpe, who disclosed that he had been abducted from his residence in South Ibie on 20 August 2026.

The Nigerian Army remains committed to dismantling criminal networks involved in kidnapping, arms trafficking and other violent crimes. Troops will continue to conduct intelligence-driven operations in collaboration with other security agencies and local security stakeholders to counter all forms of criminality and safeguard communities.

Members of the public are encouraged to remain vigilant and provide timely and credible information to security agencies to support ongoing efforts to enhance security across the country.

TROOPS OF OPERATION FANSAN YAMMA RESCUE KIDNAPPED VICTIM, FOIL TERRORIST ATTACK IN KADUNA, SOKOTO

Troops of Joint Task Force North West Operation FANSAN YAMMA (JTF NW OPFY) have sustained their operational momentum across the Joint Operations Area, rescuing a kidnapped victim in Kaduna State and foiling a terrorist attack in Sokoto State.

On 20 August 2026, troops of Sector 1 responded to a distress call following the abduction of a 43-year-old man around Awon Community in Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State. The troops swiftly moved into the area and pursued the terrorists into the surrounding bushes, compelling them to abandon their captive and flee. The rescued victim was subsequently reunited with his family.

In a separate operation on 21 August 2026, troops of Sector 2, working in conjunction with local security elements, responded to a terrorist attack on Kwaren Gamba Village in Sabon Birni Local Government Area of Sokoto State. Troops engaged the terrorists and forced them to withdraw in disarray.

During the subsequent pursuit of the fleeing terrorists, one terrorist was neutralized, while troops recovered 2 mobile phones, cash, an ATM card, recharge cards and other items from the scene.

The Joint Task Force North West Operation FANSAN YAMMA remains resolute in sustaining the tempo of ongoing operations to deny terrorists freedom of action and create a safer environment for communities across the Joint Operations Area. The Theatre Command reassures the public that troops will continue to respond decisively to emerging threats, while urging citizens to remain vigilant and provide timely, credible information to security forces in support of ongoing efforts to restore lasting peace and security

NAWOJ SEEKS STRONGER, STRUCTURED PARTNERSHIP WITH NIGERIAN ARMY

The National President of the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ), Comrade Aisha Ibrahim Kwaya-Bura, has called for a stronger and more structured relationship between the Association and the Nigerian Army to enhance media-military collaboration in support of national security.

Comrade Kwaya-Bura made the call on Friday, 21 August 2026, when she led a delegation of the Association on a courtesy visit to the Department of Civil-Military Affairs, Army Headquarters, Abuja.

The visit was aimed at fostering stronger relations between the media and the Nigerian Army, as well as establishing a solid strategic partnership towards promoting national security, peace and development.

Speaking during the visit, the NAWOJ National President appreciated the enormous sacrifices being made daily by officers and soldiers of the Nigerian Army in defending the nation and protecting its territorial integrity. She noted that journalists have a responsibility not only to report security operations but also to promote informed public understanding of the challenges confronting the nation’s security forces.

Comrade Kwaya-Bura therefore called for greater collaboration between NAWOJ and the Nigerian Army in areas including capacity building for women journalists, security awareness, responsible conflict reporting, countering misinformation, civil-military relations, peacebuilding and strategic communication. According to her, such collaboration would benefit both the military and the media, while ultimately contributing to national peace and security.

The NAWOJ National President further disclosed that the Association intends to institutionalise the Women in Security, Peace and Conflict platform as a forum for sustained conversations on security, peacebuilding, conflict resolution and the role of women in promoting peace and security.

She consequently sought the partnership of the Nigerian Army, particularly the Department of Civil-Military Affairs, for subsequent editions of the initiative, noting that the maiden edition was successful.

Responding, the Chief of Civil-Military Affairs, Major General Musa Awwal Etsu-Ndagi, appreciated NAWOJ for its support and continued partnership with the Nigerian Army.

Major General Etsu-Ndagi stated that the Nigerian Army is committed to promoting gender inclusivity, stressing that the Service is not gender-biased. He cited the appointment of a female senior officer as the Army’s spokesperson, as well as the establishment of the Nigerian Army Women Command, as examples of the Army’s commitment to providing opportunities for women to contribute meaningfully to national defence.

The Chief of Civil-Military Affairs assured the NAWOJ delegation of the Nigerian Army’s continued partnership with the Association, describing the Nigerian Army as a media-friendly institution committed to maintaining mutually beneficial relations with the media.

He noted that sustained collaboration between the Army and the media remains essential to promoting accurate information, enhancing public understanding of military operations and strengthening civil-military relations.

In attendance were the Deputy Chief of Civil-Military Affairs, Major General Aminu M. Umar; Deputy Director, Civil Sponsorship, Colonel Y. Micha; representative of the Director, Army Public Relations, Lieutenant Colonel J. E. Nnuakalu; and other senior officers of the Department of Civil-Military Affairs.

THEATRE COMMANDER OPERATION FANSAN YAMMA CALLS FOR SUSTAINED MILITARY-MEDIA COLLABORATION TO ENHANCE COUNTER-TERRORISM OPERATIONS

The Theatre Commander, Joint Task Force North West Operation FANSAN YAMMA (JTF NW OPFY), Major General WB Idris, has called for sustained military-media collaboration to enhance ongoing counter-terrorism operations and efforts towards restoring lasting peace and security across the North West region.

The Theatre Commander made the call when he hosted members of the media to a Media Parley at the Theatre Headquarters in Gusau, on Wednesday, 19 August 2026. The event, which was the first of its kind in the Theatre, drew a large number of media practitioners across Zamfara State and provided a relaxed and conducive platform for interaction, exchange of perspectives and strengthening of military-media relations.

In his remarks, Major General Idris described the media as a critical partner in the fight against terrorism, noting that while troops continue to make enormous sacrifices through sustained kinetic and non-kinetic efforts, military action must be complemented by the media. He stressed that the media occupies a strategic position in shaping public understanding of the security situation, strengthening national resilience and building public confidence in ongoing efforts to restore peace and stability across affected communities.

The Theatre Commander further noted that terrorists seek not only to inflict physical harm but also to exploit the information space to spread fear, attract publicity and exaggerate their strength. He therefore urged journalists to exercise greater consciousness in the framing and presentation of terrorism-related reports to ensure that headlines and reports do not inadvertently glorify terrorists, romanticise their activities or provide them with the publicity and psychological advantage they seek. He equally encouraged journalists to verify sensitive security information through appropriate channels and report operational developments accurately, responsibly and in proper context.

In his remarks, the Chairman, Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Zamfara State Council, Ibrahim Musa Maizare, thanked the Theatre Commander for organising the parley, describing it as the first of its kind in the history of military operations in the state. He noted that such engagements would greatly enhance military-media relations and enable journalists to better appreciate the efforts of the military towards restoring peace and security. On behalf of the NUJ Zamfara State Council, he pledged the unwavering support and cooperation of media practitioners across the state to the military in its efforts to restore lasting peace.

The Media Parley featured an interactive session during which participants exchanged views with the Theatre Commander on security, information management and military-media relations. Other highlights included a visit to the Theatre’s Wall of Heroes, a memorial bearing the names of personnel of Operation FANSAN YAMMA who paid the supreme sacrifice in the service of the nation from the inception of the Operation to date.
