 Rebels to withdraw from key DR Congo town 'after US request' The M23 rebel group has said it would withdraw from the eastern DR Congo town of Uvira at the request of the US administration, which had criticised seizure of the town last week as a threat to mediation efforts. The rebels entered Uvira, on the border with Burundi, less than a week after the presidents of Congo and Rwanda met with US President Donald Trump in Washington and affirmed their commitment to a peace deal known as the Washington Accords. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Saturday that Rwanda's actions in eastern Congo violated the Washington Accords and vowed to "take action to ensure promises made to the President are kept." A report by a United Nations group of experts in July said Rwanda exercised command and control over the rebels.

CP PLEDGES NOT TO LEAVE ANY STONE UNTORN ORDER DISCREET  INVESTIGATION INTO MOB ACTION AND JUNGLE JUSTICE METED ON PETER IN LUSHI


The Bauchi State Police Command Commissioner, CP Sani-Omolori Aliyu, Psc(+)Mni, has mandated a comprehensive investigation into the egregious act of jungle justice inflicted upon an individual named Peter on April 9, 2025, at about 2330 hrs.This incident involved a mob assault on two persons accused of dog theft.


The victim, Dokagk Danladi, aged 38, was reportedly attacked by a group of youths in a secluded area behind Lushi as a result of the allegations. Dokagk sustained severe injuries, including machete wounds to his head, and has since been evacuated to Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBUTH) in Bauchi for medical attention. His companion, Peter, whose surname remains unidentified, was found at the scene and was regrettably declared dead by medical personnel.


The investigation is currently underway. The command is diligently working to ensure a thorough examination of this incident, focusing on identifying all individuals involved in the mob assault. The Divisional Police Officer (DPO) leads a team of detectives who visit the crime scene to gather evidence and gain a comprehensive understanding of the event's circumstances.


The Commissioner of Police, CP Sani-Omolori Aliyu, characterised the act as barbaric and detrimental to our nation's legal framework. He cautioned the indigenes of Bauchi State that under his leadership, the Command would not condone any individuals taking the law into their own hands by inflicting harm on suspects arrested for alleged crimes in such an inhumane and unlawful manner.


He further emphasised that no individual possesses the authority to treat a suspect in such a brutal manner, and it is erroneous for anyone to assume the role of law enforcement. Suspects apprehended in connection with any alleged crime should be promptly handed over to the police or relevant law enforcement agencies responsible for investigation and prosecution.


The Commissioner of Police has appealed to the public to remain calm as the investigation progresses. The Command is resolute in its pursuit of justice and is committed to ensuring that those responsible for this heinous act are held accountable. The community is urged to remain composed during this period and assist law enforcement by reporting pertinent information.
