He was welcomed by Mali’s Foreign Minister Abdoulaye Diop and is also expected to meet with President Assimi Goïta, it said, Sputnik reported.

The AU has reaffirmed its support for Mali’s sovereignty and territorial integrity while proposing increased assistance to the security sector.

 Cyrus Onu, lawyer to Jennifer Elobor, the NYSC member assaulted by local security operatives in Anambra State, has given a chilling account of what his client went through, revealing that the men not only brutalised her but also threatened to r@pe and k#ll her for speaking up.


According to Onu, the ordeal began when the security agents forcefully tried to enter the corps members’ lodge.


“They were banging the door repeatedly. As Jennifer attempted to open it, they kicked it with such force that it nearly slammed into her face.


“These were not men in uniform. Most of them were masked, dressed in mufti, and wielding guns. You can imagine the level of terror among those young corps members,” he explained.


The lawyer noted that the operatives offered no form of identification. “Instead of introducing themselves, they kept shouting, ‘Come down, come down! You’re all thieves! You’re all Yahoo people!’”


Onu said Jennifer stood her ground, insisting that if they must be taken anywhere, the corps members should first be allowed to contact their LGI [Local Government Inspector]. “She only wanted accountability because they had no idea who these men were,” he added during an interview on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief on Wednesday.
