PRESS STATEMENT ON U.S. EMBASSY SECURITY ADVISORY AND RISING INSECURITY IN NIGERIA

By the Neo Black Movement of Africa Worldwide

The Neo Black Movement of Africa Worldwide expresses deep concern over the recent decision by the United States Government to authorize the departure of non-emergency personnel and their families from its Embassy in Abuja, citing the deteriorating security situation in Nigeria.

This development raises critical questions about the global perception of Nigeria’s safety and stability, particularly in relation to diplomacy, foreign investment, and economic engagement. It reflects a growing erosion of confidence that demands urgent and decisive intervention.

Reports indicating that several states across the federation have been classified as high-risk zones due to terrorism, kidnapping, violent crime, and civil unrest highlight a troubling reality that millions of Nigerians face daily. The scale, frequency, and persistence of these threats can no longer be downplayed or addressed with routine assurances.

While acknowledging the efforts made so far by the Federal Government in tackling insecurity, the Neo Black Movement of Africa Worldwide calls on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, to intensify efforts and provide clear, visible leadership in confronting this crisis.

At this critical juncture, Nigerians and the international community alike require transparent communication, decisive action, and measurable progress toward restoring security and rebuilding public confidence.

We therefore urge the Federal Government to urgently consider and implement the following measures:

1. Intensify intelligence gathering and enhance coordinated security operations in identified high-risk areas.

2. Strengthen the operational capacity of security agencies through improved funding, advanced training, and deployment of modern equipment.

3. Address the root causes of insecurity, including unemployment, poverty, and systemic corruption.

4. Enforce strict accountability across all tiers of government, including state and local authorities, for security outcomes within their jurisdictions.

5. Deliver a direct national address outlining a clear, actionable strategy to combat insecurity and restore public trust.

Nigeria remains a pivotal force within Africa and a longstanding partner in global affairs. However, the persistence of insecurity poses a significant threat to national development, investor confidence, and the overall well-being of citizens.

The time for decisive leadership is now. Nigerians must be reassured—through concrete actions, not rhetoric—that their safety is paramount. The international community is watching closely, and the response to this moment will shape the nation’s trajectory in the months ahead.

IGP Disu Hosts Civil Society, Promises Tougher Police Oversight

The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, on Thursday received a high-level delegation of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) at the Force Headquarters in Abuja, reiterating his commitment to strengthening accountability mechanisms within the Nigeria Police Force.

The delegation, led by prominent human rights lawyer Femi Falana (SAN), comprised stakeholders from the legal, human rights, governance, and security reform sectors. Among them were representatives of the National Association of Democratic Lawyers (NADL), African Law Foundation (AFRILAW), Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch (HRW), Yiaga Africa, CISLAC/Transparency International Nigeria, and Partners West Africa-Nigeria (PWAN).

Speaking during the engagement, Falana congratulated the IGP on his appointment and commended his vision of policing anchored on the protection of fundamental human rights. He, however, urged the police leadership to ensure strict compliance with the Nigeria Police Act 2020, particularly provisions relating to suspects’ rights, including timely notification of families upon arrest, access to legal representation, and the prohibition of arrests for civil disputes.

Falana further called for the strengthening of internal accountability systems to guarantee that officers who violate constitutional provisions are held responsible for their actions.

In his response, Disu expressed appreciation for the continued engagement of civil society actors, describing their role as critical to building public trust and institutional reform. He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to people-centred policing, noting that effective law enforcement must address both high-level criminal activity and everyday concerns of citizens.

The IGP disclosed that ongoing reforms within the Force include the review and update of training manuals, improved welfare for officers, and the enforcement of strict directives against police involvement in civil matters. He also pledged to enhance the operations of the Complaint Response Unit and Monitoring Unit to ensure greater transparency and responsiveness.

Disu maintained that with sustained collaboration and reforms, effective policing in Nigeria is achievable, assuring that the Force remains committed to upholding accountability, transparency, and respect for human rights in all its operations.

*Dominion City Global Camp Meeting 2026 Ends with Waves of Miracles, Revival, and Life-Changing Testimonies*

Lagos – Dominion City has concluded its Global Camp Meeting 2026 with overwhelming testimonies of miracles, salvation, deliverance, and spiritual renewal, reinforcing its position as a major platform for global revival and transformation.

The six-day international conference, themed “Redigging the Wells of Our Fathers,” was held simultaneously in Lagos and Enugu, drawing over 60,000 in-person participants and millions of online viewers worldwide. The programme featured powerful teachings, intense worship sessions, and the widely anticipated “2 Nights of Glory,” which became a focal point for supernatural encounters.

From the onset, the atmosphere of the gathering was marked by deep spiritual intensity, with participants reporting life-changing experiences. The first night of “Night of Glory” witnessed remarkable miracles, including the deliverance of a 14-year-old girl from a seven-year struggle with pornography, healing from cancer, restoration from partial blindness and deafness, and recovery from heart and severe skin infections. In addition, several children were reported to have been baptized in the Holy Spirit, with many seen praying in tongues, a development that further underscored the depth of the spiritual impact across all age groups.

Beyond these, numerous testimonies poured in from participants across different locations. Chinecherem S. shared how he arrived at the Enugu camp meeting on crutches due to a bone fracture but left completely healed, able to walk, run, and jump freely.

Similarly, Faith from Lagos testified to being healed of a fibroid, noting that a previously noticeable lump in her abdomen had completely disappeared. Blessing recounted a profound encounter during a teaching on “The Cross,” which led to her deliverance from hard drug use and prostitution, describing it as a turning point in her life.

Participants also highlighted deep spiritual encounters and renewed purpose. Regina E. described the meeting as a “reawakening of God-consciousness,” while Okechukwu C. T. said he gained a personal understanding of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, stating, “It felt like Jesus didn’t die for the world, but for me.”

For many, the impact extended beyond physical healing to clarity of purpose and commitment. Peter B. from Lagos shared that he received a clear sense of his calling to disciple others and rededicated his life to fulfilling God’s purpose, adding that he also experienced deliverance during a baptism session.

International participants were not left out. Ella M. from Namibia described the teachings as “uncompromising truth,” while Boikanyo M. from Botswana testified to experiencing God’s power remotely, expressing belief in an impending revival in her nation.

The meeting also featured ministrations from Dr. David Ogbueli and other global ministers, who emphasised moral renewal, spiritual growth, and leadership development. Participants were equipped not only spiritually but also through sessions addressing innovation, career growth, and societal impact.

Organisers noted that the conference also contributed to local economic activity while providing free transportation and medical services to attendees.

As the curtain falls on the 2026 edition, Dominion City says the testimonies recorded are a reflection of its ongoing mission to raise leaders and transform society through faith, truth, and practical living.

The church reaffirmed its commitment to advancing global revival and preparing individuals for purposeful and impactful lives. //END.//
