Pyongyang’s Kim praises Putin, says Russia will win Ukraine war..

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un predicted a Russian victory in Moscow’s war against Ukraine, during his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“I am deeply convinced that the heroic Russian army and people will brilliantly adopt the tradition of victory and demonstrate their honour and glory on the special military operation fronts,’’ Kim said.

This is according to the Interfax news agency on Wednesday.

Moscow calls its full-scale invasion against Ukraine a special military operation.

Details about possible arms deliveries from North Korea to Russia were not disclosed.

Kim also said this would enable Russia to build a strong state.

Russia is facing growing problems in its war, grappling with a Ukrainian counteroffensive.

While Moscow still controls around 20 per cent of its neighbour including Crimea, illegally annexed in 2014, it has increasing problems supplying troops with weapons and ammunition.

Observers say the talks between Moscow and Pyongyang may also address possible military aid from North Korea.

On the sidelines of the official lunch, the North Korean ruler announced that he had discussed the political and military situation in Europe and on the Korean peninsula with Putin during their one-to-one meeting.

Kim added that he hoped his visit would lay the foundation for a strategic partnership between the two neighbouring countries.

SARS: Armed robbers’ll be happy – Ex-IG of Police warns against ban

Mike Okiro, a onetime Inspector-General of Police, IGP, has cautioned against the ban of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS). Okiro said the squad should be rebranded and refocused for effective service delivery rather than being banned. Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, on Thursday, the former IGP said the ban of SARS would lead to more robbery activities. According to Okiro, robbers would be happy at the ban of SARS. “The police management should go to the drawing board and retrain personnel of the SARS as it will be counter-productive to disband them. “You cannot throw away the baby with the bath water, if they have deviated from what they were established for they should be retrained and refocused,“he said. “Armed robbers will be happy that there is no more SARS in the country but are Nigerians ready for that, “he said.

"I find it funny when some persons say political appointees are more than civil servants in the state", he said. "We are running an open-door policy. The state has 2,203 political appointees and 45,000 civil servants; the number of public servants are not included." On the debt profile of the state government, Edevbie said: "About N100 billion are owed contractors. Although no one is happy about the situation, Okowa has approved that contractors, especially those whose money are not much, should be paid." "We are aware...
