 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.

NNAMDI KANU LOSES FRESH BATTLE ON BAIL, REMOVAL FROM DSS CUSTODY. (PHOTO).


 Nnamdi Kanu loses fresh battle on bail, removal from DSS custody


Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed the request by the detained leader of the Biafra nation agitators, Nnamdi Kanu for the restoration of his revoked bail and the removal from the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) to a house arrest or prison custody.


The Judge on Monday said that the same request had been brought before her by Kanu but was dismissed for want of merit.


In a ruling on Kanu’s request, Justice Nyako said that she found as a fact that Kanu jumped the bail earlier granted him and escaped out of the country.


The Judge also held that the sureties who stood for him in the earlier bail had applied to be discharged and had been discharged on the ground that they could not locate Kanu and did not know his whereabouts.


Justice Nyako said that the only option left for Kanu was to go to the Court of Appeal and exercise his right of appeal.


The Judge disagreed with Kanu’s lead counsel that the Supreme Court held that the earlier bail granted him ought not to have been revoked, adding that she had perused the Supreme Court judgment copy and did not see the claim of the lawyer.


As of the time of this report, Kanu is shouting at top of his voice, insisting not to stand trial before any court in Nigeria.


He is claiming that any attempt to put him on trial would amount to a breach of Nigeria’s Constitution and the international laws.
