Published

on

Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani has defended the decision of his administration to enter a peace pact with terrorists in the state, stressing that his priority is preserving lives and ensuring peace.

Governor Sani stated this in an interview with BBC Hausa Service while responding to critics of the initiative.

He clarified that the decision followed six months of dialogue and did not involve any payment to the terrorists.

“If even one person were to be killed in Kaduna, it’s better for me to have the peace pact. Otherwise, Almighty Allah will hold me accountable because I took an oath,” he said.

Sani emphasised that his administration did not offer any monetary incentive to the terrorists to secure the agreement.

“I want to assure you that not even one Naira was given to them,” he reiterated.

According to him, the peace pact was facilitated with the support of traditional rulers and religious leaders, who played a vital role during the six months of discreet negotiations.

Governor Sani noted that one of the preconditions for the reconciliation was the release of all captives held by the terrorists.

He revealed that approximately 200 individuals were freed as a result of the talks, which he believes signals the sincerity of the agreement.

“They released the people to us. Now, business and farming activities are flourishing in our communities. That’s why I am assuring the communities that we will continue to pray and sustain the relief achieved,” the governor said.

The governor expressed optimism that the peace pact would hold, citing the positive changes already evident in the state.

He assured Kaduna residents that his administration is committed to maintaining peace and fostering development.

@Fifi_Kumalo: “So the ultrasound didn’t catch the other baby 😳 njani? I know they hide but so confused.”

@Ralph_Nzuza: “When my lil sister got operated they cut the baby on the cheek after the surgery they forgot those scalpels inside her.”

@mgwatyu_: “Must have delivered at a clinic via NVD, Not booked so no scan or late booker. Cannot be a cesarean section. The stiching must have just been for tears.”

@phuti_mathobela: “God works in mysterious ways some people get to experience his ways in this form while some people in their near death experience. He is God’s of miracles.”

Putin open to ‘lasting peace’ agreement in Ukraine -Trump envoy

Published

on

By

US President Donald Trump’s special envoy said Monday that Russian leader Vladimir Putin was open to a “permanent peace” deal with Ukraine, following talks seeking to end the more than three-year war.

Trump has been pressing Moscow and Kyiv to agree to a ceasefire but has failed to extract any major concessions from the Kremlin, despite repeated negotiations between Russian and US officials.

On Friday, Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff met with Putin in Saint Petersburg — their third meeting third since the Republican leader returned to the White House in January.

Witkoff said during a Fox News interview televised Monday that he sees a peace deal “emerging,” and that two key Putin advisers — Yuri Ushakov and Kirill Dmitriev — were in the “compelling meeting.”

“Putin’s request is to get to have a permanent peace here. So beyond the ceasefire, we got an answer to that,” Witkoff said, acknowledging that “it took a while for us to get to this place.”

“I think we might be on the verge of something that would be very, very important for the world at large.”

He added that business deals between Russia and the United States were also part of the negotiations.

“I believe there’s a possibility to reshape the Russian-United States relationship through some very compelling commercial opportunities, that I think give real stability to the region too,” he said.

Despite a flurry of diplomacy, there has been little meaningful progress on Trump’s main aim of achieving a Ukraine ceasefire.

Putin last month rejected a joint US-Ukrainian proposal for a full and unconditional pause in the conflict, while the Kremlin has made a truce in the Black Sea conditional on the West lifting certain sanctions.

By

It was anger, sorrow and bitterness as the Zike community of Bassa Local Government Area (LGA) of Plateau State laid to rest the 51 victims of the recent attacks on the area.

The victims were gunned down early Monday when the perpetrators stormed the village and started shooting sporadically, leading to scores of deaths in what has become a recurring incident in the state.

At the solemn event, members of the community recalled how the incident happened, describing it as “disheartening”.

“I can tell you the situation is very disheartening,” a community leader, Davidson Malison, said, adding that “we are still searching for more corpses.”

“Something needs to be done to put an end to this,” Davidson said.

For a women leader, Mary Dikwa, the situation has gone out of hand.

“They have been killing us in this our community, and several times, they will come and attack us,” the Irigwe women leader said.

“They have been coming and killing, killing us every time. We are tired of this killing. Enough is enough. Our children are dying, our husbands are dying. Our crops have been razed down by this herdsmen,” she added.

Monday’s carnage came despite reassurances from government authorities and less than two weeks after a similar dastardly killing left over 50 people dead and several others nursing injuries.

Irked by the recurrent deadly attacks on the state, President Bola Tinubu ordered security agencies to go after the killers, describing the latest wave of assault on the North-Central state as devastating.

“I have instructed security agencies to thoroughly investigate this crisis and identify those responsible for orchestrating these violent acts,” the president said in a statement by his spokesman Bayo Onanuga. “We cannot allow this devastation and the tit-for-tat attacks to continue. Enough is enough.”
