 Malian army withdraws from key Tessalit military camp: sources Mali’s army and its Russian mercenary allies have surrendered Camp Tessalit, a strategic military post in the north, multiple sources told the AFP news agency on Friday. An official from the Tuareg-led separatist group claimed soldiers and mercenaries at the camp had "surrendered", following a fierce fight over the weekend. Simultaneous attacks in Mali by militants linked to Al Qaeda and separatist Tuareg rebels on April 25 showed how fighters ​from different groups with different goals were able to strike at the heart of the West African country's military government. Gunfire and explosions were reported in the capital Bamako and around a large military base outside the capital, as well as Gao and central areas, as gunfire continuing in the northern city of Kidal.

SPORTS: PRIZE MONEY MEANT FOR THE WINNERS OF THE RECENTLY CONCLUDED FOOTBALL COMPETITION ACROSS LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN ABIA STATE HAS BEEN TAMPERED WITH IN OSISIOMA NGWA LOCAL GOVERNMENT.(PHOTO). #PRESS RELEASE.


 PRESS RELEASE


It has come to our attention with deep disappointment and outrage that the prize money meant for the winners of the recently concluded football competition across local governments in Abia State has been tampered with in Osisioma Ngwa Local Government.


The Abia State Government approved and released the following prize money:

₦500,000 for the 1st position, ₦250,000 for the 2nd position, and ₦100,000 for the 3rd position.


Shockingly, the teams in Osisioma Ngwa were only given ₦200,000, ₦100,000 and ₦50,000 respectively. This means that a significant portion of the funds meant to reward the hard work of our young athletes has been withheld by individuals entrusted with this responsibility.


Our youths trained, sacrificed their time and represented their communities with passion and dignity. 


To cheat them of their rightful reward is not only unjust but a direct insult to the spirit of youth development the state government intends to promote.


We therefore demand the immediate and full release of the remaining prize money to the affected teams without further delay.


Let it be clearly stated: if this injustice is not corrected promptly, we will not hesitate to escalate this matter to the appropriate authorities and ensure that those responsible are held accountable before the law and before the people of Osisioma Ngwa.


The good people and youths of Osisioma Ngwa will not remain silent while funds meant for their development are diverted.


We call on the Abia State Government to urgently investigate this matter and ensure transparency in the management of all youth development programs within our local government.


Justice must be done, and it must be now.

Signed:


Osisioma Ngwa Legislative Council
