 PRESS RELEASE NPF ADDRESSES FALSE CLAIMS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. Condemns False Information, Urges Fact Check. The Nigeria Police Force hereby addresses and clarifies a false and misleading claim circulating on X (formerly Twitter), made by one Adamu Garba Zango, a lecturer at Baze University. Mr. Zango, while recirculating a picture which has been in the internet archives since 2019, alleged that it was that of a Deputy Commissioner of Police serving at the Kaduna State Police Command who was arrested for supplying firearms to bandits and kidnappers. He further shared the said image to support this baseless claim. It is pertinent to state that the individual depicted in the shared photograph is not a serving member of the Nigeria Police Force. Investigations have revealed that the man in the image is one Kingsley Udoyen, a civilian who was arrested by the Akwa Ibom State Police Command on January 2nd, 2019 for impersonating an Assistant Commissioner of Police. At the time of his arrest,...

 ADF rebels kill at least 21 in DRC during Christmas week


ADF rebels have killed at least 21 people over Christmas week in the conflict-riven eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, local sources told AFP.


The attacks all took place close to Manguredjipa, a town known for its rich mineral deposits whose environs are regularly targeted by the ADF.


On December 21, ADF rebels made an incursion into the village of Robinet, in the Bapere sector of North Kivu province.


"They killed six people on the spot, then on December 22 they arrived at the neighbouring village we call Kodjo where they killed 12 people," Macaire Sivikunula, a representative for the Bapere sector's governor, told AFP.


Then on Christmas Day itself, ADF fighters "arrived seven kilometres (four miles) from Manguredjipa in the village called Makele and killed three people," Sivikunula added.


Multiple separate local sources confirmed the dates, locations and tolls of these attacks to AFP.


Originally from Uganda, the ADF, or Allied Democratic Forces, have been present since the mid-1990s in the DRC's restive northeast, where its fighters have killed thousands of civilians.


In 2019, the ADF pledged allegiance to a foreign terrorist group.


The foreign terrorist organisation often claims responsibility for some of the rebel group's attacks.


At the end of 2021, Uganda and the DRC launched a joint military operation against the ADF.


Baptised "Shujaa", that offensive has so far proved unsuccessful in putting an end to their attacks.


Both armies have pushed the rebels back into remote and inaccessible areas, where local civilians are often at the mercy of their particularly violent methods.


Sivikunula said the Ugandan and Congolese armies were present and at work in Manguredjipa.


"But as the rebels are scattered in small groups of dispersed fighters, it's really difficult to pinpoint their location," he added.


North Kivu province also faces a separate rebel insurgency further south, with the Rwanda-backed M23 movement and the DRC's army locked in fighting all week following the failure of a peace summit in mid-December.


Home to vast mineral resources, the eastern DRC has been plagued by infighting between various armed groups for decades.

  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...
