 AAC SEEK FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO ON SOWORE IN EKITI The African Action Congress, AAC, has called for further investigation into the reported attack on Omoyele Sowore and other party members in Ekiti State, despite the arrest of eleven suspects. In a statement by its national publicity secretary, Rex Elanu, the AAC says new video footage has emerged which it believes could help identify more persons involved in the incident. The party has expressed concern over the handling of CCTV recordings from the restaurant where the incident occurred, and alleges that some stolen phones were traced to the governor's lodge in Ekiti State. It is seeking an independent investigation into these claims, the handling of recovered items and the circumstances surrounding the incident. The AAC has also called for the arrest and prosecution of any other persons found to have been involved, and demanded an investigation into the conduct of any security officers who may have acted unprofessionally.

 US withdraws 'most' forces from Nigeria after operations against Daesh terrorists


The United States has withdrawn most of the forces after a recent operation against Daesh terrorists in Nigeria and is now providing intelligence support at Abuja's request, the head of U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) says.


US and Nigerian forces, in May, conducted military operations in northeastern Nigeria that killed Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, the second-in-command of Daesh globally. That followed a US strike “against terrorists" on Christmas Day.


Addressing a conference of African defence chiefs in Angola on Thursday, AFRICOM Commander General Dagvin Anderson described May's joint US-Nigerian operation as a model for future security cooperation in Africa.


"We have withdrawn much of our forces that were just there for that operation, but are continuing the partnership that Nigeria has asked for to help continue with the intelligence sharing," Anderson told journalists during a US State Department-hosted briefing after the conference, Reuters reported.


Anderson said the operation, in Nigeria's Lake Chad Basin region, demonstrated Washington's approach of providing specialised capabilities while allowing African partners to lead security operations.


He said cooperation with Nigeria had helped significantly degrade Daesh's leadership, adding that the impact had extended beyond West Africa because of the terrorist group's international network.
