 Governor Alex Otti Highlights How Kidnappers, Bandits Were Dislodged from Abia Communities in Abia Third Anniversary Speech Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has disclosed that his administration inherited a security crisis in which kidnappers, armed robbers, and other criminal gangs held several communities hostage before being dislodged through sustained operations. Speaking during his third anniversary celebration at the Umuahia Township Stadium on Friday, Governor Otti revealed that bandits had established camps inside forests across the state, from where they launched attacks on innocent residents, causing panic and displacement. “Security was a major challenge in the state three years ago.

 Lebanon requests direct US-facilitated talks with Israel to halt fighting

The Lebanese government has proposed direct negotiations with Israel, seeking U.S. mediation to end the ongoing war and pursue a peace agreement. Officials in Beirut approached U.S. envoy Tom Barrack last week, suggesting talks at the ministerial level in Cyprus and claiming that some Hezbollah members might be open to a deal. However, both Washington and Jerusalem responded with skepticism, with Israel rejecting the proposal outright and the U.S. stressing that meaningful action against Hezbollah’s weapons would be required before any discussions.

Lebanon is alarmed over the current conflict, which began when Hezbollah launched rockets at Israel, prompting massive Israeli airstrikes and ground operations in southern Lebanon. More than 600,000 civilians have fled the south, and the country faces growing instability. Despite the government’s historic steps to ban Hezbollah’s military wing and expel Iranian Revolutionary Guard members, the Lebanese army has refused to act against the group, leaving the state unable to enforce its own orders. Lebanese officials say the Trump administration has shown little interest in mediation, leaving the country searching for a path to post-war negotiations that could curb Hezbollah’s influence once the fighting ends.
