AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Security & Kidnapping: Nigerian Army troops (4 Brigade, Operation WABAIZIGAN) arrested suspected kidnapper Olamide Oyeniyi along the Benin–Sapele Road in Ikpoba-Okha, Edo, recovering an AK-47, ammunition, and items including a Tecno phone and charms; investigations will link him to wider criminal networks. Regional Insecurity: Niger State reported another mass abduction after terrorists stormed Maburya in Mariga LGA, taking more than 100 residents, with exact figures still unclear as communities flee toward Benin. Diplomacy Under Pressure: Myanmar’s military government revoked UN ambassador Kyaw Moe Tun’s status ahead of a UN credentials decision, escalating a long-running fight over who represents Myanmar at the UN. Energy Accountability: Nigeria’s power sector losses remain stark, with DisCos receiving far more electricity than they bill, leaving large volumes unbilled due to technical and commercial gaps. Benin Cotton Value-Add: In Parakou, “Made in Benin” fashion highlights efforts to process cotton locally and keep more value at home, backing women-led textile work. Sports (Benin-linked): El-Kanemi Warriors advanced in the CAF Confederation Cup despite a 1-0 loss to UDIB of Benin Republic, winning 3-1 on aggregate.
