    War: Israel issues last warning to Gazans

    Israel on Wednesday announced renewed ground operations in Gaza, issuing what it described as a final warning to residents of the territory to return hostages and remove Hamas from power.

    According to the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory, Israel this week carried out the deadliest wave of air strikes since the start of a truce in January, killing hundreds of people.

    “Over the past 24 hours, IDF (military) forces have begun targeted ground operations in the central and southern Gaza Strip to expand the security perimeter and create a partial buffer between the north and south of the Strip.

    “Residents of Gaza, this is the last warning. Take the advice of the President of the United States. Return the hostages and remove Hamas, and other options will open up for you—including the possibility of leaving for other places in the world for those who want to,” Defence Minister Israel Katz said.

    Katz was referring to a warning earlier this month by former US President Donald Trump, who said: “To the People of Gaza: A beautiful future awaits, but not if you hold hostages. If you do, you are DEAD!”

    DAILY POST reports that the war began with Hamas’s attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, which resulted in 1,218 deaths, mostly civilians.

    Of the 251 hostages seized during the attack, 58 are still in Gaza, including 34 whom the Israeli military says are dead.

    Gaza’s civil defence agency said on Wednesday that no fewer than 436 people had been killed since Israel resumed intense strikes on the Palestinian territory.

    Alleged N70bn fraud: EFCC arrests Bauchi Accountant-General

    The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has arrested the Accountant General of Bauchi State, Sirajo Jaja, over alleged fraud involving N70 billion.

    This was contained in a statement by EFCC spokesman Dele Oyewale on Wednesday.

    Oyewale said Jaja was arrested in Abuja on Wednesday alongside Aliyu Abubakar, an alleged unlicensed bureau de change, BDC operator from Jasfad Resources Enterprise, and Sunusi Ibrahim Sambo, a Point of Sale, PoS operator.

    He disclosed that the arrests are connected to an ongoing investigation into alleged money laundering, diversion of public funds, and misappropriation of state resources.

    According to him, the anti-graft agency is also investigating Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed in connection with the matter.

    “The investigation has revealed that cash withdrawals amounting to N59 billion were made through various bank accounts operated by the Accountant General on behalf of the state government. The funds were allegedly moved to Aliyu Abubakar and Sunusi Ibrahim Sambo, who subsequently made cash payments to party agents and associates of the governor,” he said.

    The EFCC spokesman further revealed that Abubakar, who had previously jumped bail, had been rearrested.

    “We are committed to tracing and recovering the diverted funds, and those found culpable will face the full weight of the law,” Oyewale added.

    EFCC stated that investigations are ongoing and that the suspects remain in custody for further questioning.
