The Police in Plateau say they have arrested three persons in Kapil village of Chip District in Pankshin Local Government over the alleged killing of a 26-year old man, Mr. Chinme Daniel.

Mr. Tyeopev Terna, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), for the Police Command in the state, confirmed the arrest of the suspects in Jos on Monday.

The command’s image maker said that the arrest of the suspects, whose names remained withheld, followed a complaint lodged by a family of the deceased, Mr. Lawi Dabwen.

“We have the three suspects in our custody and we shall try them before a law court, even though we are still investigating the incident,” Terna said.

He said that the three suspects, who reside at Kapil village, were alleged to have committed the crime 6.00 a.m of Nov. 25 in the area.

The PPRO called on members of the public to be conscious of the activities of criminally minded persons and alert the police whenever they suspected any strange movement.

This he said became necessary in order not fall victim of people of questionable character.

Terna, however, warned the public to guard against jungle justice, adding that the police would deal decisively with anyone found indulging in such act.

Pope not involved in Colombian peace deal- Vatican

Pope Francis Pope Francis has turned down a request to play a role in the peace deal between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) rebel group.

A deal was announced last week, putting an end to five decades of internal conflict between government forces and the FARC rebels. The agreement, which needed to be ratified through a referendum in Oct. 2, would entail setting up a special court to grant amnesties or pu...

Houthis Claim Attack on Central Israel in Response to Gaza ‘Massacres’

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has taken a concerning regional turn as the Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for an attack on central Israel. The group announced this as part of their escalating response to what they describe as "massacres" in Gaza amid the Israeli military’s operations in the strip. Details of the Attack The Houthis, a Shiite militant group with ties to Iran, declared that they launched missile and drone strikes targeting Israel. While the exact impact of these attacks remains unclear, reports suggest that Israel’s defense systems intercepted several threats over its airspace. This marks a significant escalation as the Houthis widen their involvement in the conflict beyond their typical operations within Yemen and neighboring Saudi Arabia. The Houthis’ Justification In their statement, the Houthis framed the attack as retaliation for Israel’s military actions in Gaza, which they characterized as indiscriminate bombings resultin...

Fall of Assad is a Blow to Russia's Prestige

The potential fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a long-standing ally of Russia, would mark a turning point in Moscow’s global influence, particularly in the Middle East. Steve Rosenberg’s analysis underscores the profound implications for Russia, which has invested heavily—both militarily and politically—in ensuring Assad’s survival over the past decade. This article delves into why Assad’s downfall would strike at the core of Russian prestige and what it could mean for the broader geopolitical landscape. Russia's Strategic Commitment to Syria Since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Russia has been a staunch supporter of Assad's regime. In 2015, Moscow launched a military intervention that proved decisive in stabilizing Assad’s hold on power. This intervention solidified Russia's role as a key power broker in the Middle East and demonstrated its willingness to project military power far beyond its borders. Syria is not just an ally for Russia; it is a...
