 Malian army withdraws from key Tessalit military camp: sources Mali’s army and its Russian mercenary allies have surrendered Camp Tessalit, a strategic military post in the north, multiple sources told the AFP news agency on Friday. An official from the Tuareg-led separatist group claimed soldiers and mercenaries at the camp had "surrendered", following a fierce fight over the weekend. Simultaneous attacks in Mali by militants linked to Al Qaeda and separatist Tuareg rebels on April 25 showed how fighters ​from different groups with different goals were able to strike at the heart of the West African country's military government. Gunfire and explosions were reported in the capital Bamako and around a large military base outside the capital, as well as Gao and central areas, as gunfire continuing in the northern city of Kidal.

RE: STRIP POLICE OF POWER TO PROSECUTE CRIMINAL CASES,JUDGE ADVICES NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT.#PRESS STATEMENT.

Image may contain: 1 person                     The attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to an online/social media publication by Premium Times Nigeria captioned ''Strip Police of Power to Prosecute Criminal Cases,Judge Advices Nigerian Government''.The said publication was credited to the Chief Judge of Delta State,Hon. Justice Marshall Unukoto,in a lecture he delivered at the 2017 Aquinas Day Colloquium of Dominican Institute in Ibadan Oyo State on Tuesday 31st January,2017.
2. The call according to the publication was made by the the Judge when he commented on the inefficient handling of criminal cases by the Police prosecutors who are not lawyers.
3. It is pertinent however,to state that the call was made by the Hon. Chief Judge without recourse to section 106 of the Administration of criminal Justice Act {ACJA} 2015,which clearly excludes non lawyers from processing all offences in any Court of Law.
4. Furthermore,the Supreme Court in the case of FRN VS Osahon {2006} 5NWLR part 973 pg 361 stated clearly the position of the law with respect to Police powers of prosecution.
5. It should be noted that the Nigeria Police Force as an organization has the highest number of lawyers in its establishment who are currently undertaking prosecution as provided in the ACJ ACT 2015.
6. It is therefore,a legal misconception for anybody to call for the stripping off of the Power to prosecute.
