US Commends Tinubu Administration For Arrest Of Ansaru Islamic Terrorists

POLITICS Michael King   09:57

 The arrest of two leaders of Ansaru, a terror organization with ties to al-Qaeda, has received praise from the United States. The US mission in Nigeria referred to the arrest as "a significant step forward in the country's fight against terrorism and extremism" in a post on X on Monday. The content of the post reads, "We commend the Nigerian government and security forces on the successful arrest of Mahmud Muhammad Usman (aka Abu Bara’a) and Mahmud al-Nigeri (aka Mallam Mamuda)," which are two wanted Ansaru leaders. “This is a significant step forward in Nigeria’s fight against terrorism and extremism.”

 Mahmud Usman (also known as Abu Bara'a) and Mahmud al-Nigeri (also known as Malam Mamuda), who are on Nigeria's wanted list, were captured following a series of intelligence-led operations between May and July, according to Nuhu Ribadu, the national security adviser (NSA). Ribadu claimed that Abu Bara'a, the self-proclaimed Emir of Ansaru, orchestrated kidnappings and robberies to fund the group's operations and coordinated terror sleeper cells across the nation. The NSA linked the two to a number of high-profile attacks, such as the Abuja prison break in 2022 known as Kuje, which resulted in the release of dozens of Boko Haram prisoners. He went on to say that the suspects were also involved in the kidnapping of French engineer Francis Collomp in Katsina, the kidnapping of Musa Uba, Magajin Garin Daura, and the kidnapping of the Emir of Wawa in Niger state in 2019. Ribadu went on to say that the operation also tore down Ansaru's central command structure. He also said that digital and physical intelligence that was found during the raids is being looked at.

Mir Sahiruddin, overseeing chief of Green Ray International Limited (GRIL), a ponzi plot, has at long last been captured.

Sahiruddin, who has been hanging out in Nigeria for a long time now was found by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), in Kolkata on Friday.

GRIL, a chit subsidize organization, purportedly tricked poor and clueless speculators of over Rs 1,000 crore on the appearance of giving them galactic returns in a limited ability to focus time, and redirected colossal cash to Dubai and Nigeria through hawala representatives.

"He had been stowing away in Nigeria and returned India from Bangladesh a couple days prior, on a Bangladesh international ID by mimicking him as Ahmed Hussain. He much of the time changed areas in Dubai and African nations. We will create him in CBI court here either on Saturday or Monday," said a CBI officer

A man has given many people the shock of their lives after cutting off his wife’s head and even walking with her head to the police.

Narayan Singh with his wife’s head 

An Indian farmer identified as Narayan Singh, decapitated his wife, then carried her severed head by the hair for five miles, after he allegedly found her ‘making out’ with another man.

 

According to Metro UK, Singh, 38, has been charged with murder after attacking 28-year-old Sarita with a sword in the middle of a field.

 

Terrified witnesses described how he marched to the nearest police station, attempting to justify himself by telling officers: ‘My wife had broken my trust.

 

‘This is the reason why I beheaded her. I had warned her twice before, but she wouldn’t mend her ways.’

 

Singh, from Ghareli village in Ingoria, India, is due before the courts later this month.

 

Locals claim Singh had caught his wife with her lover twice before but let them go with a ‘warning of dire consequence’ if they hooked up again.

The woman’s dead body

He took his barbaric revenge after spying on his wife for several days, neighbours said.

 

On January 30 he allegedly caught them together in a farmer’s hut and then attacked in a jealous rage.

 

Singh has been remanded in custody before his court appearance in 14 days, police sources said.

 

Investigating officer Vijay Khatri said: ‘Narayan Singh had doubts on his wife’s character – that she was having an extramarital affair with another man.

 

‘On January 30, he caught his wife in the act with her lover and, in a fit of rage, beheaded her.

 

‘In delusion, he kept roaming in the area with the head in his hand.’

 

Violence against women is said to be an ‘epidemic’ in India and there have been street protests for harsher punishments.

 

According to the Indian government’s Crime Records Bureau, there were 309,546 crimes against women reported in 2013, including 33,707 R@pes and 51,881 cases of kidnapping and abduction.
