 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. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Saturday that Rwanda's actions in eastern Congo violated the Washington Accords and vowed to "take action to ensure promises made to the President are kept".

Rivers CP Disu leads police raid on kidnappers' den; 10 arrested



6th January, 2024


Ten suspects were arrested in a raid led by Rivers Commissioner of Police, CP Tunji Disu, on hideouts and camps of suspected kidnappers in bushes along the Obiri-Ikwerre International Airport road, Port Harcourt on Saturday.


CP Disu was accompanied by the Deputy Commissioner of Police Operations, DCP Adepoju Olugbenga, some Area Commanders, heads of tactical units, Divisional Police officers and other operatives of the command during the raid embarked upon as a result of recent kidnapping incidents in the axis.


The police team combed the vast bush behind the Adokiye-Amiesimaka Stadium at Igwuruta, Ikwerre Local Government Area where kidnappers terrorizing commuters along the ObiriIkwerre – Airport are suspected to be hibernating.


During the raid, 10 suspects were arrested and more than 12 makeshift tents in camps abandoned by suspected kidnappers were also destroyed.


In an interview with journalists, DCP Adepoju Olugbenga said the operation is a routine exercise usually carried out by the police on vulnerable points where there are issues of hoodlums trying to disturb the peace.


He said it was observed that there are issues of hoodlums trying to ambush people going to and coming from the Airport in the axis.


The DC Operation also revealed that the Command has deployed a lot of personnel in that axis.


He explained that during the CP Disu-led operation, operatives were deployed to comb every angle of the bush behind the Adokiye-Amasemaka stadium, abandoned buildings, and buildings under construction in the area where, according to him, criminals come out to cause havoc along Obiri-Ikwerre -Airport road.


The Deputy Commissioner of Police also disclosed that some abandoned shanties by suspected kidnappers were also destroyed.


“There is special concentration on the airport axis because of its importance to the state and the Police cannot allow criminal activities to thrive there or any other part of the state,” DCP Olugbenga noted.


He assured that the Rivers State Police command will continue to comb the area and other places where criminals are suspected to be hibernating to ensure people of the state can sleep with their two eyes closed.


He equally called on the public to assist the Police with useful information that can lead to the identification and dislodging of criminal hideouts.
