 M23 says hundreds of Burundi soldiers captured in latest Congo offensive The Rwanda-backed M23 group has captured hundreds of Burundian soldiers during its latest offensive in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, a rebel official said, as clashes continued despite a warning from the Trump administration. Last week M23 entered the strategic town of Uvira near the border with Burundi, less than a week after the presidents of Congo and Rwanda met in Washington with U.S. President Donald Trump and affirmed their commitment to a peace deal known as the Washington Accords.

On Seun Kuti Saga, Temper Justice With Mercy, Singer Mr P Begs Police

Singer Paul Okoye of PSquare, aka Mr. P, has pleaded with the police to temper justice with mercy over the case of his colleague, Seun Kuti, who was filmed assaulting a policeman.

In the video that emerged on Saturday, Kuti was seen pointing to the unidentified police officer before proceeding to push and slap the officer.

The police, however, have called for the singer’s arrest following the viral video.

Reacting to the development via a tweet on Sunday, Mr. P wrote, “Quite an unfortunate incident, and from reports, it seems Seun’s family was in danger hence the altercation.  

“When you understand what happens when a man is put in a situation to protect his family from any form of danger, our emotions get the better of us. 

“I ask and plead that the #NigerianPoliceForce accept our unreserved apologies for the unfortunate outburst and tamper justice with mercy.”

Retweeting Mr P’s post, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, wrote, “Whenever you feel an unarmed lone police officer put your family in danger (God forbids it), go ahead and slap the officer. Do it in Nigeria and the USA where you visit often. 

“I’m certain eminent Nigerians will bring up this argument of yours in your defense.”
