President has expressed strong solidarity with the following reported missile and drone attacks allegedly linked to , reaffirming Nigeria’s support for global peace and strategic alliances.
In an official statement, Tinubu condemned attacks targeting civilian and economic infrastructure in the UAE, describing them as deeply concerning. He reiterated Nigeria’s commitment to international stability, stating that the country stands firmly with its allies in times of crisis.
“I am particularly concerned by the attack on UAE civilian and economic infrastructure,” Tinubu said, while also extending support to the UAE leadership for measures taken to protect lives and critical assets.
The development comes amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, with UAE authorities reporting multiple intercepted aerial threats in recent weeks.
However, Tinubu’s foreign policy stance has drawn attention at home, where Nigeria continues to grapple with worsening insecurity across several states. In , suspected bandits reportedly issued a six-day ultimatum to communities in Kankia Local Government Area, demanding hundreds of livestock, forcing residents to flee over fears of imminent attacks.
Similarly, fresh violence has been recorded in , where armed groups carried out coordinated attacks in Ifelodun Local Government Area. In one incident, a family of three was abducted in broad daylight, while at least 15 others were kidnapped in separate overnight raids in nearby communities.
The surge in kidnappings and violent threats has heightened nationwide concern, with increasing calls for decisive government action to address the country’s internal security crisis.
Tinubu’s message of solidarity with the UAE underscores Nigeria’s active role on the global stage, but it also comes at a critical time when citizens are demanding stronger efforts to secure lives and property within the country.
