 MIDDLE BELT YOUTH FORUM APPLAUDS GOV. ALIA FOR CREATING NEW WARDS IN LOCAL GOVERNMENTS 14th April, 2024     The All Middle Belt Youth Forum (AMBYF) has applauded the Benue State governor, Dr. Hyacinth Alia, for creating more wars in the state. The Forum, in a statement signed by Comrade Aluh Moses Odeh, its National Leader, said it was happy that the governor, by his action, had studied and understood why past administrations did not perform maximally, hence the actions being taken by him since he mounted the saddle of governance. It noted that the governor’s background as a Catholic Priest gave him the strength to withstand all pressures from detractors. The AMBYF stressed that Governor Alia had taken a bold step to deliver the dividends of democracy by paying attention to the Local Government Areas, which had remained the cash cow to past governors, to ensure free access and connection to the grassroots. It stated: “Two weeks ago the state government organised a two-day retreat for

 RE: REPENTED BOKO HARAM MEMBER ENLISTED INTO NIGERIAN ARMY SLITS WOMAN'S THROAT IN ENUGU BARRACKS, HIDES CORPSE   The attention of the Nigerian Army (NA) has been drawn to a publication by Sahara Reporters on 13 April 2024 tilted, "Repented Boko Haram Member Enlisted into Nigerian Army slits Woman's throat in Enugu Barracks, Hides Corpse."   Much as it is highly regrettable that a young lady lost her life in the hands of a man with whom she was in an amorous relationship, the incident should not be latched on to insinuate a laughable claim that the dastardly act was committed by a repentant Boko Haram recruited into the Nigerian Army.   It is pertinent therefore to clear the air on the allegation as insinuated by Sahara Reporters.  The NA has at no point in time, either in the past or present enlisted repentant Boko Haram members to its strength. However, considerations were given to Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) who in the fight against terrorism and insurgency i

 Iran versus Israel: We are on the verge of WW3, says PeacePro ...Prepare to defend Africa, it urges AU A peacebuilding think tank, Foundation for Peace Professionals also known as PeacePro has declared that the world is on the verge of World War III, after Iran drops missiles on Israel in retaliation of the attack on its embassy without adequate response from United Nations Security Council. PeacePro said that, the escalation of crisis between Iran and Israel is an indication of a wider conflict. In a statement by the Executive Director, Mr Abdulrazaq Hamzat, PeacePro said that the failure of United Nations to quickly provide adequate intervention is a signal the global body has effectively lost control of the global system and the magnitude of conflict the world will experience in coming months cannot be imagined. According to Hamzat, nations are no longer united and the voice of the United Nations is lost, an indication that the fibric holding global peace has practically collapsed.

Some residents are reportedly planning to vacate their homes for fear of mayhem by political thugs in the state. The ruling New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, and the state government filed charges against Ganduje, his wife and six others at the Kano State High Court last Tuesday.

 Pirates in Somalia free Bangladeshi ship Pirates in Somalia have received ransom and released a Bangladeshi ship that they seized in March 2024. Somali pirates freed a Bangladesh-flagged cargo vessel and its 23 crew early on Sunday after the ship owners paid a ransom, the company said. The MV Abdullah was carrying more than 55,000 tonnes of coal from Maputo to the United Arab Emirates when it was seized by dozens of pirates around 550 nautical miles (1,000 kilometres) off the Somali coast a month ago. The seizure came amid a surge in Somali pirate activity, with international naval forces diverted from the Gulf of Aden into the Red Sea to guard against attacks on shipping by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels. The MV Abdullah's owners, KSRM Group, negotiated with the bulk carrier's captors and the vessel sailed for Dubai early on Sunday Bangladeshi time, a spokesperson said.
