2 herdsmen killed in Southern Kaduna.

Two Fulani herdsmen were killed Saturday afternoon in Southern Kaduna sparking fresh fears of renewed violence in the area.
The herdsmen were reportedly shot while herding cattle in Anguwan Yashi village in Jema’a local government area.
National Assistant Secretary of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, Ibrahim Abdullahi, told Premium Times over the telephone those killed are Anas Shuaibu, 20, and Yahaya Musa, 14.
Abdullahi, however, called on the Fulani community in the area “not to take the laws into their hands and allow the security agencies do their job.”
He also appealed to the attackers to “please give peace a chance.”
The spokesperson of the police in the state, Aliyu Othman, confirmed the incident and said nine persons had already been arrested in connection with the killing.
He said the police were proceeding with investigation of the murder.
Over 200 people have been killed in the last few months in Southern Kaduna in clashes between herdsmen and largely farming communities.
The state government has embarked on several peace initiatives to help check the violence, while the federal government has also agreed to establish two army bases in the area to maintain 6+peace.

Prosecutors allege rapper Young Thug led gang as trial begins and many details unfolded

Prosecutors in Atlanta said Monday that rapper Young Thug was the “proclaimed leader” of a gang that “moved like a pack” to commit crimes, as opening statements in a long-delayed racketeering case got underway. Controversy and hiccups have dogged the sprawling trial alleging criminal conspiracy since jury selection began in January, notably over the state’s presentation of rap lyrics as evidence. The US state of Georgia holds that Young Thug’s record label, YSL, is a front for a crime ring, arguing that the defendants belong to a branch of the Bloods street gang identified as Young Slime Life, or YSL. “The evidence will show that YSL checks all of the boxes for being a criminal street gang,” said Fulton County prosecutor Adriane Love as she delivered the government’s statement, which she began by quoting Rudyard Kipling’s “Law of the Jungle.” Love addressed the issue of songwriting head on: “We didn’t chase the lyrics to solve the murder, we chased the murder and found the lyrics...
