How to end terrorism in N’East, by Ndume
Armed bandits have invaded Karaukarau village in Giwa Council of Kaduna State and kidnapped three nursing mothers.

A resident, Sani Bakali, said the hoodlums stormed the village on Tuesday afternoon during a wedding ceremony.

“You know the curfew imposed as a result of the coronavirus had not been easy for the bandits, as they now have short supply of food. They now attack wedding venues and gatherings.

“On this day, there was a wedding in our village and the hoodlums stormed the venue and took away 13 women.”

He disclosed that when the villagers heard of it, they mobilised and confronted the bandits and rescued 10 of the women.

When contacted, the Police image-maker, ASP, Muhammad Jalige, said the command was yet to be briefed about the attack.

Meanwhile, Senator Ali Ndume (Borno South) has said that the military and Civilian JTF must collaborate with Operation Lafiya Dole to end Boko Haram in the North East.

According to him, the synergy among fighting components could finally defeat Boko Haram terrorists that destroyed many lives and property in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states.

The Senate Committee Chairman on Army disclosed this on Wednesday at his Government Reservation Area (GRA) residence in Maiduguri.

“I’m calling on people living in Sambisa Forest, Lake Chad Basin and tops of Mandara Mountains to provide useful information to the military to end this war,” he said, noting that the local residents had reliable information on Boko Haram hideouts.

President Trump vetoes congressional resolution limiting his military authority against Iran

President Trump vetoes congressional resolution limiting his military authority against Iran US President Donald Trump, has vetoed the Iran War Powers resolution agreed by the Senate and House of Representatives, calling it a "very insulting resolution" and argued the move of the Lawmakers was "based on misunderstandings of facts and law" in a statement. The bipartisan resolution was created to limit Trump's authority to use military force against Iran without congressional approval, after the President's decision to order a strike that killed Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani in January. Before a resolution is made a law in the US, the Senate, House of Reps have to vote on it, when an agreement is reached it is then sent to the White House for the President to sign. Presidents sometimes veto laws, but the US Senate must have over 2/3rds of votes to override a President's veto, a scenario unlikely to occur. Trump in a statement issued by the ...

Pompeo presses China but acknowledges ‘no certainty’ virus from lab

Pompeo presses China but acknowledges ‘no certainty’ virus from lab US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday renewed his widely contested charge that the coronavirus pandemic likely originated in a Chinese laboratory, but acknowledged there was no certainty. Pompeo renewed his call for global pressure on China to provide more data on the origins of the illness, which has killed more than 250,000 people worldwide and hobbled the global economy. “We don’t have certainty, and there is significant evidence that this came from the laboratory. Those statements can both be true,” the former CIA chief told reporters when pressed on his statements. “The American people remain at risk because we do not know … whether it began in the lab or whether it began someplace else,” he said. “There’s an easy way to find out the answer to that — transparency, openness — the kinds of things that nations do when they really want to be part of solving a global pandemic.” Pompeo ha...
