 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".

 Gov Ododo didn’t help Yahaya Bello escape EFCC arrest — Commissioner, Fanwo


Kogi State Commissioner for Information, Kingsley Fanwo, has claimed that Governor Usman Ododo did not shield ex-Governor Yahaya Bello from arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.


Fanwo stated this while speaking on Channels Television on Friday.


“Governor Ododo did not assist in Bello’s departure from his residence; the EFCC’s claims are misinformation aimed at furthering their objectives.


“Bello is not evading anyone; the existing court injunction protects his fundamental rights,” he said.


Fanwo also insisted that a state high court injunction protects Bello from harassment by the EFCC.


He noted that Governor Ododo remains a law-abiding leader who respects the rule of law and the Constitution of Nigeria.


EFCC operatives had laid a siege at Bello’s house in Abuja.


But Ododo arrived at the residence and hours after he drove out, there were reports that Bello snuck out with him.


The EFCC has since declared Bello wanted.


He has also been placed on a security watchlist by the federal government.
