In order to promote interagency cooperation and enhance operational readiness among Taraba State’s security forces, the 6 Brigade Nigerian Army/Sector 3 Operation Whirl Stroke (OPWS) held a Joint Route March for its own personnel and other security forces in the Jalingo metropolis on Friday, October 31, 2025.
The Nigerian Police Force, Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Nigeria Immigration Service, Taraba Marshal, and Nigerian Red Cross Society all actively participated in the exercise.
The route march was intended to encourage inter-national security organizations to practice physical fitness, teamwork, and intercultural understanding.
Brigadier General Kingsley Chidiebere Uwa, the commander of the Nigerian Army/Sector 3 OPWS, stated shortly before the march that the event was one of the numerous training programs the army regularly organizes to ensure officers and soldiers’ physical and mental stamina.
He asserts that today’s route march is not just about fitness. It demonstrates our resolve, strength, and commitment to standing up for our country at all times. It serves as a reminder that our profession still values discipline, teamwork, and perseverance. Let us march with pride, purpose, and mutual respect as we depart, demonstrating to the Taraba and Nigerian public that the security forces are still committed to their work.

The exercise also served as a platform to show how committed all participating organizations are to maintaining peace and security in Taraba State and throughout Nigeria.
Residents who applauded the security personnel’ display of unity and cohesion were drawn to the route march, which covered major Jalingo streets.

We’ve located out where you can buy the ‘cosy’ loungewear set, which Michelle Keegan officially switched from a spooky Halloween outfit last night.
There’s nothing better than snuggling up in a comforting pair of pyjamas or loungewear at home now that the clocks have slowed down, the sun is setting earlier, and the days are getting colder. And Michelle’s set is both cozy and stylish enough to wear outdoors when required.
Wearing a soft, grey co-ord on her Instagram story, Michelle tagged the set as being from her own Very collection. The Co-Ord Pointelle Button Through Cardigan (£25) comes with matching Co-Ord Pointelle Wide Leg Trousers (£28), and a Co-Ord Pointelle Crop Top (£12).

According to soldiers from 6 Brigade, Nigerian Army, and Sector 3 of Operation Whirl Stroke (OPWS), which is a continuation of Operation Lafiya Nakowa’s ongoing operations, which aims to expel hibernating bandits and terrorist elements from its purview.
On Friday, October 31st, 2025, troops conducted a clearance patrol through Tor-Tser, Kofar Ahmadu, Tornyi, Unom, Mbayongo, and Yongogba villages in Takum Local Government Area based on reliable information about bandits’ activities.
Lieutenant Umar Muhammad, the Public Relations Officer of the 6 Brigade, Nigerian Army, stated in a press release that the operation had successfully cleared the identified areas, including nearby settlements and river lines.
According to Muhammad, soldiers in the advance discovered new intelligence in Kofar Ahmadu village, which indicated that bandits had been seen near Tati TY Farm.
Through Sabon Gida Tati, the troops contacted the criminals right away and immediately aimed combat at the area. The bandits eluded the troops’ superior firepower and made their way deep into the forest.
The troops effectively denied the criminals a haven after discovering and destroying a major bandits’ camp at TY Farm during a period of exploitation. The location’s one Dane gun and other items were found.
Brigadier General Kingsley Chidiebere Uwa, commander of the 6 Brigade Nigerian Army/Sec 3 OPWS, commended the soldiers for their prompt action, gallantry, and professionalism throughout the operation.
New Zealand won the series by two wickets and 3-0.
After falling to Australia in the third one-day international in Wellington, England were unable to recover from another somber batting error, leading the visitors to Australia by two wickets.
England’s top order again folded, bowled out for the third game in a row, and New Zealand threatened to sabotage a 220-run chase.
In a 3-8 collapse, they lost captain Mitchell Santner for 27 and Daryl Mitchell for 44, who were only needed for 35 from 87 balls as they rolled up to 187-5.
With two wickets left, 27 were still unbeaten, but Zak Foulkes and Blair Tickner’s unbroken ninth-wicket partnership, which had the potential to inspire hope for an unlikely, morale-boosting victory for England was voided.
England’s bowling effort was admirable, but this defeat was actually caused by their most recent top-order collapse, which left them 44-5.
Joe Root was out for two, Harry Brook for eight, and Ben Duckett for eight, but Jamie Overton’s 68, his first over the opening day of the series, was his only run for 200.
Seven of this XI’s players now travel to Perth to prepare for the highly anticipated series against Australia, which kicks off on November 21.
They only have one warm-up game against the England Lions, which is a three-day game, leaving little room for those battling for form before the series opener.
The main points of discussion in this game were:

England won the rain-affected T20 series 1-0, but the batting struggles across the three ODIs prevented them from building momentum on their journey across the Tasman Sea.
Following previous losses of 33-5 and 81-5, this top-order effort came after.
It was always fantastic to win in those positions. England still appear to be a team that can’t find the rhythm of 50-over cricket or the self-assurance to endure difficult circumstances.
The batters continued their insistence on being aggressive as the ball zipped around for New Zealand’s seamers after losing another game.
In the second over for five, Jamie Smith, another Ashes player in poor form, was almost bowled before duckett, the opener’s opening partner, hacked a pull in mid-on.
Jacob Bethell was yet another adulterer as he slashed a cut to the cordon while Root was being pinned by a Foulkes inswinger and Brook was tentatively slipping a ball.
Just 84 runs have been scored for England’s top four overall in the series, a new and unremarkable record for men’s ODI series of at least three games.
With these three defeats, England remain eighth in the ODI world rankings, leaving them without any form before the Ashes.
Brook Gamble’s failure to repay
In contrast, since February 2019, New Zealand has won 93% of their ODIs at home. They discovered a way to win, even when they were about to throw it away.
Tickner, who had earlier taken 4-64, and Foulkes were helped by England’s skipper Brook’s error in making a wise gamble.
With only Adil Rashid’s leg-spin, ineffective on a seamer’s pitch, and Curran’s medium pace at the death, Brook frontloaded his key pace bowlers, Jofra Archer, who bowled quickly again without reward, plus Brydon Carse and Overton.
Before New Zealand reached the winning line, Curran nicked off Mitchell but was unable to take out another.
Overton, who also took 3-32 here and scored 156 runs throughout the series, is one of the few to improve their standing.
After Jos Buttler scored for 38, Overton showed strong attacking and a capacity to hold off momentum, even after the new-ball movement had faded, making sure England’s innings was 40.2% overs.
We didn’t receive enough votes, the response?
Harry Brook, England’s skipper, described the back-end match as “an amazing game of cricket.” The young people’s effort was excellent enough to nearly defend that score, which probably wasn’t enough.
We have discussed the batting, to be precise. We didn’t score enough points to defend ourselves and give the bowlers the best chance to win the game. We’ll go back and apply the lessons we learned from this trip to future endeavors.
Mitchell Santner, captain of New Zealand, said, “The guys stepped up at different times during the chase. But thanks to England’s bowlers, they never made it easy in any games, especially on some wickets that had a little bit of a snag. Outstanding control was given by Daryl Mitchell in the middle.
Sam Vanderpump, a reality star, will begin testing next month to determine whether he will receive a liver transplant, but the actor has already shared the heartbreaking reality of his condition.

Sam Vanderpump, 28, claims he “doesn’t want to die.” The reality tv star is currently awaiting confirmation that he qualifies for a liver transplant.
He admitted earlier this year that he “nearly died” from liver and kidney failure. He was born with congenital hepatic fibrosis and polycystic kidney disease, but they did not show up in him until the flu struck him in December.
He now acknowledges that there is no chance for his liver to recover, and he will have his liver evaluated to see if he can receive a transplant. On Monday’s Made in Chelsea episode, he told Ollie Locke, “There is no chance of my liver getting better, and he said I wouldn’t be having this call with you if I thought you could make it through the next four or five years.”
The nephew of Real Housewives icon Lisa Vanderpump has revealed his condition and how he has been dealing with the devastating news in a new interview.
The actor claimed he was “sobbing” as he revealed his condition to his pal Ollie a few days before the emotional episode was filmed. Sam currently has a 50-50 chance of surviving after he reaches the age of 53. Although it was the “scariest thing ever” for him to learn that a woman had a transplant when she was 40 years old, he was comforted when he learned she needed one.
Sam was given antibiotics as doctors battled to save him when he was admitted to a hospital earlier this year because of his sepsis. “I was crying and sweating, and I didn’t know where I was.” It was terrifying in those first few days. You want to pass away. He told the Daily Mail, “It was terrifying.”
His fiancee Alice Yaxley, who is expecting their first child, said: “I never for a second thought he was going to pass away. Sam is a strong, tenacious person. Sam, anyone who has met you knows that you will always be fine because of something. “An energy”
Sam was filming the E4 reality show with his aunt, Lisa, when he received a notification on the NHS phone app, stating he needed a liver transplant. On August 21, he received a message reading: “Dear Samuel Vanderpump, we reviewed your latest CT scan and the findings are keeping well within your known diagnosis… We feel the best way is for us to organise a liver transplant assessment.”
Sam was informed that he needed a transplant through this process. Sam is unsure of when his transplant will be at this time because he acknowledges that other patients are “higher up on the list”.
Sam revealed earlier this year that despite having a terrible battle with sepsis, he was close to passing away due to the failure of his liver and kidneys. Sam openly discussed his terrifying experience while also providing insight into their relationship.
He said, “Over Christmas, we went through a small episode where I got really, really ill together.” bringing up his illness’s sudden onset. He explains that a genetic disorder caused an infection that quickly turned into sepsis. I contracted sepsis due to a genetic condition that caused it to turn out to be quite bad. I had a close call while I was in the hospital; I had already passed away.
Sam’s ordeal began with severe back pain and dehydration, which he initially thought were symptoms of the flu. His condition, however, quickly deteriorated, giving him delirium. Alice took the situation seriously and recognized the severity. My fiancee literally saved my life by calling the ambulance, Sam says.

Doctors later informed him that if he had been admitted just 24 hours later, it might have been too late, as his liver and kidneys had begun to fail.
With Gstaad’s emphatic victory in the Juvenile Turf, Ireland’s Aidan O’Brien has become the most successful trainer in Breeders’ Cup history.
Gstaad passed his rivals in the one-mile race at Del Mar near San Diego despite a challenging wide post thanks to Christophe Soumillon’s superb timing late push.
O’Brien won the Breeders’ Cup for the first time in 21 years, surpassing the late D Wayne Lukas, and he placed eighth in the Juvenile Turf with a record-extending win.
O’Brien called it “extraordinary,” saying, “Wayne was a special man, unbelievable.”
“Wayne was such a big help to us all the time, and he was even more so when Giant’s Causeway was available. When we were still relatively young, he helped shoe him while he rode his own horse down to the track.
He made no mistake about helping his owners and horses. He had many great dreams, and he was incredibly special.
Donnacha O’Brien celebrated his first Breeders’ Cup victory while O’Brien senior, who has 26 top-level victories this year, held the record for the championship wins.
Oisin Murphy, the champion jockey, rode Balantina to a thunderous surprise victory in the $1 million (£760, 292) Juvenile Fillies Turf, his maiden victory.
This is truly exceptional. Donnacha, 27, described it as “fabulous” after working as a winning Breeders’ Cup trainer alongside his father and brother.
