 UN says 53 Congolese refugees have died in Burundi More than 50 refugees fleeing fighting in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo have died in neighbouring Burundi, the United Nations Refugee Agency told Reuters late on Friday. Of a total 53 deaths recorded, 25 people died due to a cholera outbreak, the agency said, while six others died from anemia and other complications related to malnutrition, it said. The U.N. said it was working with the health ministry and other partners to investigate the cause of the other deaths. More than 100,000 Congolese have sought refuge in Burundi since fighting near the border intensified in early December and rebels seized the town of Uvira, the UNHCR said. Jean Jacques Purusi, governor of South Kivu province where Uvira is located, described the situation in Burundi as "misery" and "a crisis completely forgotten by the international community and media." Congo's state and social affairs ministry said it was leading a humanita...

 Governor Soludo Has Used Ordinary Vigilantes To Destroy About 60 Criminal Camps In Anambra ------- Kenneth Okonkwo


Veteran actor and politician Kenneth Okonkwo has commended Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo for his efforts in tackling insecurity in the state through community-based security initiatives. 


Speaking during an interview on Symfoni TV, Okonkwo praised Soludo’s use of local vigilante groups as an example of effective grassroots security management.


Governor Soludo has used ordinary vigilantes to destroy about 60 criminal camps in Anambra," Okonkwo stated, describing the development as proof that locally driven security structures can succeed where national efforts have failed.


 He emphasized that state and community policing remain crucial for addressing Nigeria’s worsening insecurity.


Okonkwo criticized the federal government for what he called its “slow and reactive approach” to the security crisis, arguing that empowering state governors to handle their internal security would help reduce crime more effectively. He noted that the success in Anambra should serve as a model for other states to emulate.


He also used the opportunity to renew his call for the creation of state police, saying that governors across the country must be given the authority and resources to manage security within their territories. According to him, the continued over-centralization of policing powers in Abuja has made it difficult to respond swiftly to local threats.


Okonkwo added that Governor Soludo’s achievement reflects what can be done when leaders act with courage and vision. He urged the federal government to adopt policies that support similar initiatives across Nigeria, stressing that national security can only be achieved when local communities are empowered to defend themselves.
