Na faith

The Russian government has blamed sanctions imposed by Western powers as the reason for an interest payment deadline on sovereign foreign debt being missed, and rejected allegations that it did not pay its dues.

“We do not agree with that,” Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitri Peskov,

said in remarks reported by the Interfax news agency after the 30-day deadline relating to two loans taken out in foreign currency passed in the early hours of Monday.

The outstanding interest payment is 100 million dollars.

The Russian Finance Ministry said the payments due were in fact made on May 20, five days before the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control.

These fell under the U.S. Treasury and issued a ban on Russian transactions.

Russian Finance Minister, Anton Siluanov, has termed the dispute about the failure to make the payment a “farce.”

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has discovered and destroyed two hectares of land used for the cultivation of Cannabis sativa, otherwise called Indian hemp, in Imo State.

The agency also arrested one of the proprietors of the farm, situated at Umuagu, Umuguma community in Owerri West Council Area of the state.

A source said the agency began a manhunt forthe owner and other operators of the farm, which was described as the largest Indian hemp farm ever discovered in the state.

“On 26th May, 2022, operatives of the NDLEA in Imo State raided a Cannabis farm in Umuagu, Umuguma in Umuguma Community in Owerri. Also, suspects were arrested at the farm which is the biggest Indian hemp farm ever in Imo State,” the source said.

Contacted, the spokesperson for the Agency in the state, Shehu Lamuwa, confirmed the report, but declined to give further details.

Recall that Imo Commander of the Agency, Ruben Apeh, had at the event marking the 2022 United Nation’s day against drug abuse and illicit drug trafficking, expressed worry over the prevalence of drug abuse in the state, especially within the last one year.

He stressed that the activities of drug peddlers in Imo State has become so alarming and increasingly becoming sophisticated among the younger segments of the state population.

“We therefore call on our stakeholders and the media to arise to the occasion of partnering with the Agency to reach out to people by way of sensitizing them about the dangers of drug abuse because mobilising and informing the citizenry is the only way forward to discourage the youths and adults from drug abuse.” he appealed.

A Facebook post by one Tokunbo AremoOdua has been shared across other platforms and forwarded on WhatsApp many times.

The post claimed that the All Progressives Congress Presidential Candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu initiated ECONET, Treasury Single Account (TSA), tax digitalization, Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) and economic summit to proffer solutions for economic prosperity in Nigeria.

It also claimed that Tinubu was the first and last governor to govern his state for years without federal allocation during the Obasanjo Administration.

As of the time of this report, the post had amassed about 317 likes, 69 shares, and 247 comments and has reached multiple groups on WhatsApp.

Verification

Checks by Daily Trust revealed that while Tinubu played a role in the evolution of ECONET in Lagos State, it does not mean he brought ECONET to Nigeria.

He was Governor of Lagos State when the federal government auctioned the telecommunication network through the Nigeria Communication Commission.

Lagos was mentioned as one of the two states that supported the licence fee financially.

Victor Asemota, a popular tech twitter influencer also stated that “Lagos state was only involved in its founding through the acquisition of secondary shares, after much deliberations.

The then governor did not commit to Cybertel until after Delta State, Oceanic and the Akwa Ibom State government had gotten involved.”

Also the claim that Tinubu introduced the TSA in Nigeria is false.

Rather, it was proposed by the federal government in 2012 during the former President Goodluck Jonathan-led administration and was fully implemented by the current administration to consolidate all inflows from all agencies of government into a single account at the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Similarly, the claim that the former Lagos State governor started the economic summit in Nigeria is not true.

The Nigeria Economic Summit Group was incorporated in 1996 by Chief Ernest Shonekan.

The claim that Tinubu created the independent power project in the country is equally false.

It was introduced by the federal government to combat the power shortage in the country.

Daily Trust also found the claim that Tinubu was the first and last governor to govern his state (Lagos) for years without federal allocation misleading.

The then former President Olusegun Obasanjo-led government only withheld the local government funds of Lagos State when Tinubu created LCDAs against the approval of the federal government.

However, a claim in the post that Tinubu pioneered LCDA is true

Conclusion

Daily Trust can confirm that while it is true that Tinubu created LCDA, he was not the pioneer of other initiatives contained in the claims made by the author of the post. Therefore, the claims are largely false.

The negotiator for Abuja-Kaduna train attack victims, Mallam Tukur Mamu, on Tuesday, raised an alarm over the deteriorating health condition of the remaining victims in the kidnappers’ den.

Tukur Mamu, who is also the Publisher of the Kaduna-based Desert Herald Newspaper, feared that some of the victims, who are being subjected to horrible conditions, and were bitten by snakes, may not survive if the Federal Government did not act urgently to ensure their release.

In a statement he issued to journalists, in Kaduna, Tukur Mamu noted that
most of the victims may hardly survive the next few weeks due to their deteriorating health conditions and the inhumane condition they were being subjected to inside the forest.

Although, he confirmed that the victims were not molested or beaten, he insisted that the Federal Government should put more efforts to ensure their urgent release, as any delay may cause their death.

DAILY POST reports that the bandits earlier freed 11 of the victims after a deal with the government

Is marriage by force

The Ukrainian military seized Russian weapons and military equipment containing microchips from the US, according to a report by The War Zone, citing Ukraine intelligence.

Eight of the US-made microchips were found inside a recovered Russian air defense command post vehicle, reportedly part of the Barnaul-T system.

The chips were said to be manufactured by American technology firms Intel, Micrel, Micron Technology, and Atmel Corp.

Additionally, Ukrainian specialists uncovered five US microchips from AMD, Rochester Electronics, Texas Instruments, and Linear Technology in the Pantsir air defense system.

The discovery of US-made chips in Russian weapons provided “more detailed” information about where Moscow is getting critical components for its weapon systems.

The US has been very vocal about the “special military operation” launched by Russian President Vladimir Putin on Ukrainian territory. Washington has donated billions of dollars in military equipment to help Ukraine fight off the invasion.

Other Discoveries

The Ukrainian military examined a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile and found at least 35 US-made microchips inside.

It also opened a turreted electro-optical system of the Ka-52 Alligator, which contains 22 chips manufactured by Texas Instruments, Altera USA, and Micron Technology.

According to military analyst Skip Parish, finding US-made microchips in Russian equipment highlights the country’s “total dependence on western technology.”

Most of the companies that manufactured microchips found in Russian weapons said that they no longer do business with Moscow, while others disputed the Ukraine intelligence findings.

Apart from microchips, it was reported that Russia is using high-powered weapons supplied by France, Germany, and other European Union (EU) nations in invading Ukraine.

At least 10 EU member states allegedly supplied 346 million euros ($371.1 million) in military equipment to Moscow amid a ban on engine and weapons deliveries due to the annexation of Crimea in 2014.

Eight soldiers were killed on Wednesday and 13 wounded in a “terrorist attack” in northern Togo near the border with Burkina Faso, the government said, using a term typically designating jihadists.

Togo’s troops are deployed in the north of the country to try and contain a jihadist threat pushing south from Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger where militants linked to Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group operate.

In April, five soldiers were killed in northern Benin in an ambush by gunmen while nine people were killed in February in the deadliest attack to date in the country.

“This territorial expansion by jihadists is goint to progressively give birth to home-grown jihadist cells, made up of local recruits, that feed off of the local grievances,” wrote Mathieu Pellerin, Sahel researcher at the International Crisis Group.

Local issues include tensions over access to resources, stigmatisation of certain ethnic groups, presence of self-defence groups as well as criminal and trafficking gangs, he added in a report in French published earlier this year for the French Institute of International Relations.

“For coastal West African states, where for now the threat is contained in terms of intensity and limited geographically, there is still time to stop the security situation from deteriorating.”

“At around 03:00 GMT, a forward operating base… in Kpinkankandi was the scene of a violent terrorist attack by a group of unidentified heavily armed individuals. Sadly, among the security forces, eight have died and 13 were injured,” a statement read on national television said.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack but Kpinkankandi is located near the border with Burkina Faso.

A senior security source in Togo who asked to remain anonymous told AFP that the soldiers were attacked by a group of 60 gunmen who arrived on motorbikes.

“They exchanged fire for more than two hours… and then a reinforcement unit was hit by an improvised explosive device,” he added.

Soldiers had foiled an attack in November last year in the northern village of Sanloaga, making Wednesday’s attack the first to cause casualties.

Violence from armed groups and criminal networks is on the rise across West Africa.

At a meeting of West African defence chiefs last week, Ghana’s Defence Minister Dominic Nitiwul said that in three years the region had suffered more than 5,300 terror-related attacks claiming around 16,000 lives.

A major concern is how the threat is spreading from the Sahel to northern parts of coastal Benin, Ivory Coast, Ghana and Togo.

In April, five soldiers were killed in northern Benin in an ambush by gunmen while nine people were killed in February in the deadliest attack to date in the country.

“This territorial expansion by jihadists is goint to progressively give birth to home-grown jihadist cells, made up of local recruits, that feed off of the local grievances,” wrote Mathieu Pellerin, Sahel researcher at the International Crisis Group.

He Stated That They Should Surrender To The Russians

The official stated that the troops should just surrender as there is no possibility of extracting then from that position. The Ukrainian were earlier allowed to surrender and leave without being killed by the Russians. The offer was accompanied by a time limit which has currently expired.

" lay down their arms and head to a tribunal" , he told them.

The troops have release a statement where they ask the necessary authorities to call for a ceasefire in order for the injured troops to leave the area and seek immediate medical attention.

The official stated that it would be impossible to remove them from the area as the Russians are still heavily attacking and have taken over most part of the city.

The Russians are still shelling the factory in Mariupol but the factory is still standing even after the several attempts to bombard it.

He Revealed That It Would Be Impossible To Extract The Troops From There

Occupying forces rule out possibility of extracting the military from Azovstal

The troops are currently shielding for the attacks in the factory. Here is what he stated in details. Revealed That The Factory Was Still Under Russian Attack

The war in Ukraine has affected many people including the Russians. The Ukrainian residents were forced to leave their homes and they are currently refugees in many countries across Europe. The war has also affected the Russians as some governmental officials received sanctions. This resulted to many of them to resigning from the office as they could no longer keeping battling with effect of the sanctions. These sanctions could literally bring down the person on the receiving end in various ways including financial. Several governors in Russia resigned from office and one of the governors revealed that he was not going to contest in the next election. Russians have called out and protested several times for the war to come to an end and for their people to return home but the government has paid deaf ears to their pleas.

Recently, a Russian official released a statement concerning the Ukrainian troops in Mariupol. He revealed that it would be impossible to extract the troops from Mariupol as the Russians were still attacking the Azovastal Metallurgical Factory in Mariupol as reported by Pravda.

China has created a string of facilities to practice naval ship targeting with long-range ballistic missiles in Xinxiang’s Taklamakan Desert, USNI News revealed, citing satellite images.

One of the facilities in the Ruoqiang region in Central China was first captured by satellite in November, showing targets in the shape of a US aircraft carrier and at least two Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.

A missile struck one of the targets at the facility in February. The model has now been disassembled and taken away, the outlet revealed.

New facilities have been detected along the eastern edge of the desert, some with ship-like models moored in ports, USNI News wrote.

Hypersonic Anti-Ship Ballistic Missiles

After analyzing the site’s location and nature and particularly the holes on the ship’s bodies, the outlet observed the use of hypersonic anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBMs).

According to the outlet, China has been developing a range of ASBMs such as the land-based DF-21D and DF-26 and a smaller, provisionally named YJ-21 launched from the Type-055 Renhai Class cruiser.

A yet unknown ASBM has also been reported that can be launched from the H-6 bomber.

More Sophisticated Than Previous Versions

Citing independent defense analyst Damien Symons, the outlet wrote that the new facilities are more sophisticated than their predecessors.

“The layout of the targets is very calculated,” he said. “The orientations, shapes and sizes are consistent across multiple targets. There is nothing haphazard about these sites.”

Symons said the “targets appear to have been shaped by laying metal sheets on the ground.”

He said the metal is different from the piers and buildings at the facility and “may reflect heat or radar differently, this also might give us an indication of the complex systems and effort behind these experiments.”

The outlet also observed that the testing missiles might have used AI-based infrared and radar to strike the ship accurately, distinguishing it from a pier.

An elder statesman and senior lawyer (Robert Clarke) on Monday revealed that the President Buhari should serve for an extra 6 months to give him enough time to address the country’s security woes.

Clarke disclosed that with less than a year to the 2023 elections there was not enough time to address the insecurity to ensure a safe exercise.

While speaking on Arise Television programme, he equally noted that the Constitution provided the President to extend his tenure for six months in the first instance if conditions were not ripe for an election.

Footage released by Aerorozvidka - Ukraine's drone warfare unit - today shows two rockets being dropped on a tank which explode on top of it.

Aerorozvidka claim the tank was a £3million T-90 and was 'destroyed' in the attack, without saying exactly when or where the strike took place.

It comes just a day after more drone footage showed a £4million T-90M Russian tank being taken out by an £18,000 Swedish rocket launcher north of Kharkiv.

Ukraine claims to have taken out another of Russia's most-advanced tanks - this time using £400 rockets dropped from a home-made drone.

I Be dey zoom the Toto side wether d part go clear

Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami has come under fire from Nigerians for distributing over 50 exotic cars to ruling All Progressives Congress members ahead of the party’s governorship primary in Kebbi State.
Malami had last Thursday declared interest in the Kebbi State governorship race.

On Saturday, the Chief Law Officer of the country gave out 30 Mercedes Benz GLK, 20 Toyota Prado and other exotic vehicles to party executives and delegates.
However, the distribution has triggered negative reactions, with many wondering where Malami got billions of naira to purchase the vehicles.
Some of them lambasted President Muhammadu Buhari, who rode to power in 2015 on the back of a promise to crush corruption, especially in the government circle for endorsing all the atrocities of one of his most trusted lieutenants.
“In a sane country all these political jobbers ought to be in money laundering suspect list. APC government have manifested their looting prowess in this coming elections,” a Facebook user, Uchenna Thomas wrote.
Gabriel Otenu said, “Who is fooling who, a political appointee sharing this type of cars to buying votes, and efcc is watching them only for them to go after poor children who re doing yaho to assist themselves, because their parents can't afford the expenses private school.”
Christopher Nwachukwu also said, “How much was Malami's salary and allowances as Attorney General of the Federation for 7years? How can he honestly afford to buy these luxury cars if he is not corrupt? And his Nephew is the Boss at EFCC. Nigeria is really a fantastically corrupt Nation.”
Another Facebook user, Afolabi Tola wrote, “You will not know the level of corruption under Buhari who sees himself as Mr integrity until he leaves the office.”
Jacob Letura said, “Nigeria my country so this man has embezzle our country wealth for long for over seven years.
Tell me how much is this man salary which enable him to donate this kinds of exotic cars? .... Oh God why our leaders is making thing so hard for us in this country. He is doing this to buy the mind of electorate.
“No Wonder he said delete laws from the newly electoral act, a lawyer that doesn't know law instead of amendment you said delete....how many of this appointee dat resigned from office before aspiring for elective position....all these criminals that form Buhari cabals.”

Aliyu Akanza also wrote, “His fighting corruption with Mr president, when he became Minister what was he doing now in 7rs his distributing SLK and Toyota and ur fighting corruption. No problem continue.”
Anthony Nwaigbo added, “Where did he get all this money he is lavishing? The fight against corruption should start from the high places of power. Is there any hope for this country? When are we going to move from the politics of money to the politics of the people?”
In 2020, a series of detailed investigations carried out by SaharaReporters showed that Malami had acquired several properties whose value run into many billions of naira since being appointed into the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari as Nigeria’s chief law officer.
For example, the AGF has an underground hotel in Sokoto, three houses at Peace Estate, Abuja, a brand new state-of-the-art school in Kebbi, two houses for his sons worth N100m each and a new hotel under construction in the Jabi area of Abuja.
Malami also bought a house this year worth N150m in the Gwarimpa area of Abuja.
The newly constructed school is located at the back of NITEL in Gesse Phase 1, Birnin Kebbi, while a new house worth N600m on Ahmadu Bello Way, Nasarawa GRA, Kano, are among properties acquired by Malami since he became a minister under President Buhari.
The houses he built for his sons in Kebbi are 200 metres apart in a posh part of the city.
That is not all. Malami also built a N3billion multipurpose event centre in Kebbi State named Azbir Arena for his son in Kebbi.
The facility is said to be an entertainment centre with a plaza and kids playing section and an ongoing hotel all in one place.
This is apart from Rayhaan Hotel located on Zaria Road, opposite Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, which the AGF massively upgraded using proceeds of corruption.
Ever since SaharaReporters published a series of detailed reports exposing these illicit acquisitions, the online news medium has been a target for the AGF’s camp.
Apart from falsely claiming to have sued SaharaReporters over the expository reports he said had damaged his reputation before the world, Malami also issued a petition to the former Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, on the issue to arrest the Publisher of the online newspaper, Omoyele Sowore.
