This barrister Addi andju Deji petitioned the President of Nigeria, Bolahamed Tanubu, demanding the immediate dismissal of the IGP Kyode Eggbatoken, for allegedly abusing his office by thus using his high ranking office in the Nigeria Police Force to settle personal scores.

Although the Nigeria Police Force has not reacted to these allegations, but the Force in a press release on Thursday afternoon apparently made statement Anambra is no doubt one of the states in Nigeria experiencing incessant and very high rates of kidnapping that in some cases do lead to the death of the abducted victims and killing of security operatives and some other persons around the scene of the mostly monetary

crimes of hostage taking for a ransom. Specifically, our crime reporters gathered that there is hardly no week without one or two persons being kidnapped along the Anisha, a weary federal road in a Nambra state, especially between Over Community Nihiala town. As we gathered that most victims of kidnapping in the state are hard working small and medium sized business owners who most of whom struggled out of poverty

to become wealthy successful traders. This we learnt there may be no wealthy successful business owner along the Ihiala or who road left to be kidnapped or forced to pay ransom to the kidnappers, while in Ober, wealthy people are being kidnapped quietly in ransom in millions of paid in silence to the kidnappers.

Specifically, Mogalu said, I must speak frankly. An amberor is no longer safe, not even in the state capital.

Our people are being sorted, kidnapped and buried in silence while the government looks the other way. This is not leadership, it is abandonment. Just recently, we lost over ten lives in a ghastly accident at Amchi no E South Local government area, Yet there was no statement, no condolence, not even a visit from the state government. Instead we see

street renamings and political endorsement rallies. Where is our conscience, Mogalu stated, While the former lawyer to Namdi Cardu, Nigeria President Bolah Armed Tanubu has called on online content creators to create jobs for others, saying the digital media is now a central driver of economic growth, while emphasizing that the youths are no longer waiting to be invited into

I urge you to continue using digital platforms to advance our nation's progress. Build businesses that employ others, create content that uplifts and unite.

In line with the requirements of the ceasefire deal reached on Monday night in Malaysia, the military commanders in the three areas along the Thailand Cambodia border have met on Tuesday with a resolution that both sides will halt the movements of troops and enforce the ceasefire agreement while waiting till August fourth, twenty twenty five for the outcome of the General Border Committee GBC meeting to be held before they will know the next line of action to be taken,

which could be to rev evacuate troops out of the

area or continue the war. Based on the aftermath of the GBC meeting, agreed to be hosted by Cambodia next week Monday, the ceasefire Mediator, who is the Azian Chair and Malaysia Prime Minister and while Ibraheim, who is currently in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, for a Zian meeting, said in a post buyer his personal verified ex social media account on Tuesday that as the Azian Chair, Malaysia has emerged to lead efforts in reconciling Cambodia and Thailand,

two neighboring countries that were nearly drawn into a more devastating conflict. Adding, with the active involvement of China and the United States, we successfully achieved an immediate and unconditional ceasefire agreements. This is proof that diplomacy must guide our efforts to realize peace and resolute leadership, while stating in his earlier post after the ceasefire agreement was reached that the ceasefire agreement is a concrete proof of the strength

of a Zian diplomacy. Rooted in Nigeria on Monday staged an uncommon welcoming ceremony to appreciate and celebrate the country women football team, who may be apparently correct to be described as winning Queens of Africa as they landed at the Namdi Azukiway International Airport in Abuja after the Super Falcons of Nigeria defeated the host Lionesses of Morocco by three to two in a breath taking and thrilling final football match held in Robert, the capital city of Morocco

on Saturday, marking the tenth triumph of the Super Falcons on the continental stage, after the previous triumphs in the Women's Africa Cup of Nations WAF con consecutively in nineteen ninety eight, two thousand, two thousand, two, two thousand four, two thousand six, twenty ten, twenty fourteen, twenty sixteen, twenty eighteen, and recently for the twenty twenty four Africa Continental Women Tournaments.

This many top government officials, most especially governors and ministers, like the governors of Kaduna, Uba Sanni, Governor of Kuara Abdul Rahmen Abdul Razak and i Hoo State Hopuzo Dema, gathered for hours at the Nandi Hazukiwai International Airport, Abuja, waiting the Super Queens of Africa to arrive and after welcoming the women football icons home, the governors led the Amazing Stars of Africa to the West Africa country's presidential

villa known as Asso Rock, where President Bulla Ahmed to Nubu conferred on the twenty four super falcons for Royal Thai Army and the Cambodia National Ministry of Defense have both denied firing the ten projectiles that destroyed civilian houses and properties at Emerald Triangle, a city in Law on Thursday, just as both government establishments confirmed early in the morning on Sunday that fighting continued through Saturday night to Sunday

morning night. Despite President Donald Trump of the United States US statement on Saturday that he has spoken on phone with both the Prime Minister of Cambodia and the acting Prime Minister of Thailand asking the two parties to agree on immediate cease fire, and failure to do so, according to Trump, US will not make any business deal with

both countries. In his words, Trump said, we happen to be, by coincidence currently dealing on trade with both countries, but do not want to make any deal with either country if they are fighting, and I have told them so. The call with Thailand is being made momentarily. The call with Cambodia has ended, but expect a call back regarding war stoppage and cease fire based on what Thailand has to say. I am trying to simplify a complex situation.

Many people are being killed in this war, but it very much reminds me of the conflict between Pakistan and India, which was brought to a successful hault. The Lao government had on Friday reported that ten bombs were found having

been fired into civilian areas and affecting local residents. In the Emerald, tr Asia is apparently becoming a continent of war as hope of achieving peace in the continent appeared slim since twenty twenty three, when fresh wars broke out in the Middle East Asia after Hamas attacked Israel, forcing Israel to launch a multifront wars in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran,

and Yemen. This occurred as Russia, that has parts of its territory in Asia, had in twenty twenty two launched a full scale war against its neighbouring European country Ukraine, which The multiple wars have led to millions of deaths, with many in the world expecting an end soon, but while many in the world hope for permanent end to the deadly wars, another fresh war broke out during the week on Thursday in the Southeast Asia between Cambodia and Thailand,

after soldiers from Royal Thai Army of fourteenth Infantry Battalion on Wednesday stepped on a land mine at Huaiban chong En ma nam Yuen District, Uban Ratchathani Province within the Thai Cambodia border area, causing severe injury to one Thailand soldier while four other soldiers sustained some level of injuries, making the acting Prime Minister of Thailand Funtham Wehchii to recall the country's ambassador from PanAm Pen and expelled Cambodia's

ambassador to Thailand, leading to heavy military confrontations starting next day morning, which Cambodian news agency on Saturday reported that tens of thousands of innocent Cambodians, including children pregnant women, barely ten days after Israeli soldiers bombed the Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza, Benjamin Natanyahu, the State of Israel Prime Minister, has said that Israel is now being portrayed as the enemy of Christians, stating that Israel has a

thriving Christian community, the only thriving Christian community in the broad radius of the Middle East, where Christians are not tolerated, they're cherished, adding you can like Christmas trees in Nazareth, but in Bethlehem, the birth place of Jesus. When Israel left and the Palestinian authority came in, the Christian majority shrank from eighty percent to under twenty percent because there

was no more Israel to protect them. Though Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu did not mention the bombing of the Catholic church in Gaza that led to the killing of three persons and injuring to several people, including the parish priest, it could be recalled that the Israel Defense Forces idf action against the Christian Holy Place in Gaza sparked global condemnations, with the head of the Catholic Church, Popelio the fourteenth, in a statement on Sunday, July twentieth, twenty twenty five,

while speaking after his Angelus prayer, read out the names of those killed in the incident and said I appealed to the international community to observe humanitarian law and respect the obligation to protect civilians, as well as the prohibition of collective punishment of indiscriminate use of force and force displacement of the population during PROCAS walk on NEVIW Brigade, Ukraine.
