The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has called for a thorough investigation into the recent accidental airstrike to prevent a recurrence, urging the military authorities to ensure that such tragedies do not undermine the ongoing fight against banditry.

The party expressed deep sadness over the tragic airstrike that claimed over 20 lives, including members of the Community Protection Guard (CPG), vigilantes, and some residents of Tungar Kara village in Maradun Local Government Area.

In a statement issued by the APC Publicity Secretary, Mallam Yusuf Idris Gusau, the party extended heartfelt condolences to the state government and people of Zamfara, particularly the families of those who lost their lives.

“We pray Allah to accept their martyrdom and grant their families the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss,” he added.

The party also commended the ongoing military efforts to combat banditry in the state, highlighting recent successes by Operation Fasan Yamma, which reportedly dismantled several bandit hideouts and eliminated over 25 terrorists in Fakai, a camp enclave belonging to notorious bandit kingpin Bello Turji.

The APC noted that the intensified military offensive has forced many bandits to flee their hideouts, with Turji himself believed to be on the run.

“This operational strategy is quite impressive and should be sustained with the support of all peace-loving citizens.”

Please pardon me before Trump throws me in jail – Cohen begs President Biden

A former lawyer of United States President-elect Donald Trump, has pleaded with outgoing President Joe Biden to grant him a pardon just like he did for his son Hunter.

Cohen is claiming that Trump will punish him for testifying against the politician in his hush money conviction.

Cohen had already been convicted for his role in the case years earlier.

He was also the star witness for the prosecution as Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts in the case last year.

Cohen served as the go-between for the $130,000 payment Trump made to adult film star, Stormy before the 2016 presidential election.

With Mr Trump ready to return to the White House in a week, Mr Cohen is calling on Mr Biden to issue a presidential pardon for him before he leaves office, stating that he and others on Mr Trump’s ‘enemies list’ deserved pardons like Mr Biden’s son, who was granted full and unconditional pardon.

“I put in application for the presidential pardon because I believe Joe Biden has the same responsibility to be that he has to his son”, Cohen said. “I would expect the same exact pardon he gave his son to me and anyone that is on that enemies list whether they want it or not because solitary confinement where I did 51 days sucks.”

The disgraced lawyer, however, said he was shocked that Trump received unconditional release during his sentencing.

According to him, “Cultural and religious barriers, low funding, poverty, teacher shortages, child labour, discrimination against girls, low access to technology, health challenges, and the increasing number of people living with disabilities, as well as the systemic retention of the street Almajiri system, neglect, misplacement, and mismanagement of resources by successive governments.”

He added that these issues require urgent attention.
