 North Korea fired several ballistic missiles into the sea Monday, South Korea’s military said, hours after South Korean and U.S. troops kicked off their large annual combined drills, which the North views as an invasion rehearsal.  South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missile firings, North Korea’s fifth missile launch event this year, were detected from the North’s Hwanghae province but gave no further details such as how far they flew.  Earlier Monday, the South Korean and U.S. militaries began their annual joint military exercises, which are scheduled to last 11 days.

DSS ARRESTS FAKE NGO LEADER IN ABUJA. (PHOTO)


 Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) on Thursday apprehended Kennedy Tabukoi in Abuja for allegedly leading an unregistered NGO, the Niger Delta Development Initiative (NDDI), in a scheme to blackmail government officials.


According to security sources, Tabukoi targeted officials with demands for money or contracts, threatening to organise protests against them if they failed to comply. One such protest took place on Thursday morning at the National Assembly gate, where Tabukoi led a demonstration accusing lawmakers of stalling a probe into the petroleum sector.


“Tabukoi had been boasting to his associates about using his alleged Niger-Delta activism to intimidate officials into doing his bidding,” a security source revealed.


“Ironically, those he sought to exploit were the ones who tipped us off, confirming he was running a sham NGO for personal gain.”


Investigations revealed that Tabukoi had no legally registered NGO and was using intimidation tactics to solicit funds and contracts.


During questioning by DSS operatives, he admitted to the allegations, explaining that he intended to register an NGO to emulate others who had profited from similar schemes.


The DSS has emphasized its commitment to curbing acts of blackmail and impersonation, warning against the misuse of activism for personal enrichment.


Further investigations into Tabukoi’s activities are continuing.
