    At least 50 farmers and fishermen were reportedly killed in an attack by Islamic State of West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists in Malam Karanti village near Baga, located in the Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State.

    According to reports, the attack took place on Thursday morning in Malam Karanti, a village located about 5 kilometers from Baga.

    Sources said the terrorists gathered farmers and fishermen near the village and killed 50 bean farmers.

    “The terrorists spared an elderly man, who later alerted the community. The terrorists assembled people in Malam Karanti and killed them. Most of the victims were bean farmers,” a source said.
    Residents attempting to recover bodies were forced to retreat after ISWAP launched another attack.

    “We tried to organise a rescue mission with security agencies to recover the victims’ bodies, but the terrorists returned and prevented us. Many families are waiting for their loved ones,” another source said.

    Malam Karanti is an ISWAP enclave where civilians often farm and fish despite risks.

    Meanwhile, the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, during his visit on Thursday, assured residents of Borno State and the North-East that the military is frantically working to deal with the terrorists and flush them out of their enclaves to end the crisis.

    He added that the military is synergising with friendly countries such as Russia, France, among others, to deploy sophisticated weapons that could bring the war quickly to an end.

    General Musa added that recharging of the Lake Chad will also enable troops to navigate the Lake Chad axis to eliminate the terrorists, especially the ISWAP, who have capitalised on the economic fortunes of the Chad Basin, such as fishing and farming, to boost their logistics base.

    On Friday, General Musa assured Nigerians that the military is committed to addressing the recent surge in insecurity.

    General Musa gave the assurance while briefing the State House correspondents immediately after a closed-door meeting with President Tinubu and defence chiefs at the Aso Rock Villa.

    He stated that additional equipment has already been procured to strengthen the fight against terrorists, who have intensified their attacks in recent months, particularly in the northern region of the country.

    “Mr President has given a directive as to what to do next for us to intensify all efforts, collaborate with all our sister countries around us, because it is the porous nature from there that is aggravating our own issues on the ground.

    “And so all our theatres have been enhanced, equipment has been bought, and Mr President has given us much approval for air assets, and other aspects of security and as we said, it is not only the kinetic aspect, the non-kinetic aspect is most important.

    “The President is also looking at discussing with governors for their own support by ensuring that dividends of democracy extend to the community to stamp down the issue of insecurity, and we are working together,” General Musa said.

  • Kogi Governorship Tribunal: SDP wraps up case as Ododo, APC prepare for defence on April 15

    Kogi Governorship Tribunal: SDP wraps up case as Ododo, APC prepare for defence on April 15

    Governor Usman Ododo of Kogi State, alongside the All Progressives Congress (APC), is set to commence their defence on April 15th at the state’s governorship election tribunal in Abuja, following the closure of the case by the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and its candidate, Murtala Ajaka.

    The three-member tribunal, headed by Justice Ado Birnin-Kudu, scheduled the commencement of Ododo and APC’s defence after the SDP and Ajaka, having initially presented 25 witnesses out of a purported 400, concluded their case.

    Additionally, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is expected to present its defence with two witnesses in the ongoing matter.

    The dispute arises from the challenge posed by the SDP and its gubernatorial candidate against Governor Ododo’s victory in the November 11, 2023 poll, with INEC, Ododo, and APC named as the 1st to 3rd respondents, respectively.

    During Friday’s proceedings, lawyers representing INEC, Ododo, and APC opposed the attempt by Jibrin Okutepa, SAN, to lead witness Edidiong Udoh, a Digital Forensic Expert, in evidence. They argued that the witness was not listed in the petitioners’ proof of evidence and that his statement was not submitted alongside the petition.

    Despite objections, Okutepa insisted on leading Udoh in evidence, prompting a request for time to review the witness’ report by the respondents’ counsel.

    Udoh, requesting an amendment to his statement, described himself as a digital forensic expert residing in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. However, objections were raised against the amendment, with the respondents’ counsel arguing against its permissibility.

    Following Udoh’s testimony, attempts were made to tender his certificates as exhibits, which were initially contested due to the absence of original documents. However, the tribunal ultimately admitted the documents, with objections reserved for final written addresses.

    The proceedings highlight the intricacies of the ongoing legal battle over the Kogi governorship election outcome, underscoring the significance of evidence presentation and procedural adherence in resolving electoral disputes.

    Defence Headquarters confirms death of 36 military officers during bandits’ attack

    Story from Vincent CHIKAMSO

    The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) on Thursday confirmed that bandits have killed 36 military officers during an attack in Niger State.

    Prior to this confirmation, there have been reports that at least 21 soldiers were killed in an ambush by bandits along the Zungeru-Tegina Road on Sunday.

    But the Director Defence Media Operations, Major General Edward Buba, said the figure is actually 36, when he gave a breakdown of casualties in the ambush of  the troops in Niger State and an evacuation helicopter that crashed on August 14, 2023.

    The breakdown was given at the biweekly briefing of the Defence Media Operations.
    When asked about the cause of the helicopter crash, he restated that an investigation is still underway to determine the cause and urged citizens to be wary of propaganda by terrorists and remain patriotic.

    Insurgents had ambushed troops in the Zungeru area of the state and some gallant troops of the Nigerian Army paid the supreme price.

    Also, a Nigerian Air Force MI-171 Helicopter on a casualty evacuation mission crashed on Monday in the Shiroro Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.
