 Mali renames colonial French street names Mali followed Burkina Faso and Niger on Wednesday in renaming streets and squares in its capital to get rid of their French colonial names, AFP reported. Streets bearing the names of members of France's colonial administration have been rebaptised in Bamako, according to a decree by the junta chief. Cedeao Avenue (the French acronym for the Economic Community of West African States or ECOWAS) is also now named after a new strategic confederation that Mali has formed with Burkina Faso and Niger – the Alliance of Sahel States (AES). In all, nearly 25 names have been replaced, among them boulevards, streets, squares and public establishments. Niger and Burkina Faso have already made several changes to street and monument names in the last two years. In October, Niger renamed several historic sites in its capital Niamey which previously bore references to old colonial master France. Mali has been ruled by the military since back-to-back coups ...

 Notorious Bandit Kachalla Tukur Sharme, Linked To Kidnapping Of 121 Kaduna Baptist Pupils, Killed In Gang Battle


Notorious bandit commander Kachalla Tukur Sharme, linked to the kidnapping of 121 Bethel Baptist High School pupils in Kaduna State, and two members of a rival gang have been killed in a violent clash between their groups in the forests around Rijana and Kaso, Kaduna State.


In a statement, the Kaduna State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, confirmed that the clash, which occurred over the weekend, left several bandits critically injured, while some kidnapped victims managed to escape during the chaos.


As a result, the commissioner urged residents to contact the state’s Security Operations Room with any information if they notice any suspicious activity or movement.


Aruwan stated that Sharme, known for his brutal reign of terror across Kaduna and neighboring states, met his end in a fierce gunfight with a rival gang at a location identified as ‘Hambakko’, which spans Kachia, Chikun, and Kajuru local government areas of Kaduna.


According to Aruwan, “Intelligence sources revealed that five other bandits were wounded in the fratricidal clash and are now hiding in the area, seeking medical assistance. Residents in Rijana, Kaso, Kasarami, Jaka da-Rabi, and surrounding communities have been advised not to offer help to anyone with gunshot wounds but to report suspicious individuals to security forces immediately."


“Sharme had been responsible for numerous attacks, kidnappings, and cattle rustling incidents, including the infamous abduction of 121 students from Bethel Baptist High School, Kujama, on July 5, 2021,” Aruwan added.


The commissioner also noted that while Sharme had evaded security forces on several occasions, his death comes as a relief to many communities affected by his criminal activities. “His gang was notorious for attacks in areas such as Millennium City, Maraban Rido, Kujama, Kajuru, and the Kateri general area, as well as parts of Birnin Gwari, Kagarko, Kachia, and neighboring states of Katsina and Niger.”


However, Aruwan reported that during the operation to repel Sharme and his gang, two security personnel lost their lives.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
