Mali, Burkina Faso Deploy Warplanes In Niger

 

Burkina Faso and Mali have deployed warplanes in the Niger Republic following the threat of the Economic Community of West Africa (ECOWAS) troops that they were waiting for in order to strike.

 

 

 

 

The regional bloc had given Niger junta a week’s ultimatum to reinstate President Mohamed Bazoum or face possible sanctions, including possible military action.

 

 

 

 

The coupists had called the bluff of ECOWAS and vowed to resist foreign intervention.

Subsequently, ECOWAS Defence Chiefs were ordered to activate the region’s force for action to restore civil rule in Niger.

 

 

 

But Burkina Faso and Mali warned that any military intervention in Niger will be considered a declaration of war against them.

 

In a joint statement, the governments of Burkina Faso and Mali said, “The disastrous consequences of a military intervention in Niger could destabilise the entire region,” the statement read.

 

At the end of a two-day meeting of ECOWAS Defence Chiefs in Accra, Ghana’s capital, Abdel-Fatau Musah, ECOWAS Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace and Security, said, “We are ready to go any time the order is given. The D-day is also decided. We’ve already agreed and fine-tuned what will be required for the intervention.”

 

However, he said the option for diplomacy was still available.

 

“As we speak, we are still readying [a] mediation mission into the country, so we have not shut any door.”

 

“Tomorrow there is the possibility of an ECOWAS mission going into Niger to continue to pursue the peaceful path to restoration of constitutional order. We are ready to resolve the issue peacefully but it takes two to tango.”

 

The latest move of Mali and Burkina Faso was disclosed by Niger’s national television.

 

In a report, the television station said the military leaders from Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger convened Friday in the Nigerien capital Niamey to decide on “concrete measures” in case ECOWAS chooses to “escalate a war.”

 

Most of ECOWAS’s 15 member states are prepared to contribute to the joint force, except Cape Verde and those also under military rule – Mali, Burkina Faso, and Guinea.

Panic as Late Singer’s Mother Cries Out Over Alleged Kidnap of Son After Court Appearance

Panic as Late Singer’s Mother Cries Out Over Alleged Kidnap of Son After Court Appearance

Lagos was thrown into panic on Wednesday after the mother of the late singer, Abosede Aloba, raised an alarm over the alleged abduction of her son, Adura, by unknown gunmen. The incident, which took place outside the Magistrates’ Court in Ogba, has sparked outrage and concerns over the safety of individuals involved in legal disputes.

According to eyewitnesses, Adura was forcefully taken away by unidentified armed men immediately after leaving the court premises. Speculation is rife that the abductors may be law enforcement officers acting under undisclosed directives.

Reports indicate that Adura was at the court over a dispute with Damola Ayinde regarding the sale of a mobile phone. The legal battle, however, escalated into a broader case involving actor Yomi Fabiyi, Damola Ayinde, and other parties.

Mother’s Cry for Help

Following Adura’s sudden disappearance, his distressed mother, Abosede Aloba, was seen in a car weeping and calling for assistance. In an emotional outburst captured on video, she accused actor Yomi Fabiyi and another individual, Sam Jojo, of orchestrating the abduction.

“Please help me, people of God! It’s Yomi Fabiyi. They’ve taken my son, and I don’t know where they’re taking him,” she lamented.

Abosede further alleged that Adura was not in good health at the time of his abduction, raising fears about his well-being and safety.

Public Outcry and Calls for Investigation

The alleged abduction has ignited public outrage, with concerned citizens and human rights activists calling on the Lagos State Police Command to immediately investigate the incident and ensure Adura’s safe return.

So far, neither the police nor the accused individuals have issued official statements regarding the allegations. However, the growing tension surrounding the case has intensified calls for justice and transparency.

As of press time, efforts to reach Adura’s family for further updates have been unsuccessful. The situation remains fluid, with many awaiting clarification on the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
