Numerous heavily armed bandits who are believed to be loyal to Dogo Gide and Leyi have been dislodged as a result of a joint operation by members of the Department of State Services (DSS) and the military in Niger State.
A security source revealed that the operation started on Tuesday when terrorists stormed Chibani village in the state’s Munya Local Government Area (LGA) and reportedly shot one Ayuba Isah and one Alhaji Shuaibu, two other people, injuring themselves.
The bandits, who are thought to be numbered over 200, stormed a security base in Kuchi, a town in Munya LGA, on May 28. This led to a bloody battle that saw the neutralization of many of the bandits who had fled with various injuries.

Seven years after Fifth Harmony took a break, there is rumor that a group that Simon Cowell and the likes of Cowell from the X Factor USA are reunited.

There is speculation that a group put together on the X Factor are planning to reunite with all but one of its original members. They are said to have “big plans” for next year, which marks a significant anniversary in the band’s history.
Fifth Harmony was formed on the X Factor USA in 2012 after Ally Brooke, now 31, Camila Cabello, now 28, Dinah Jane, now 27, Lauren Jauregui, now 28, and Normani, now 28, auditioned as solo artists. The group went on to have success, with them releasing songs like Work From Home.
Camila, however, left Fifth Harmony in 2016. After her departure, her bandmates continued to play together before announcing two years later that they would be taking an indefinite break to focus on solo projects.
It’s now been reported that Ally, Dinah, Lauren and Normani are in talks to reunite. The Hollywood Reporter suggests that the reunion won’t include Camila, who has topped the charts with tracks like Havana since leaving the group.

She and the group had just released two albums, including Reflection, which was their first album, and 7/27 the year afterward. However, Camila had already left by the time Fifth Harmony, the group’s third album, was released.
The reportedly ambitious Fifth Harmony’s plans for the upcoming year, which will mark Camila’s tenth birthday, are reported to be significant. Ten years will have passed since 7/27, when one of their biggest hits, Work from Home, was released.
Sources have said the group is developing a documentary about their return to the stage, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The potential project would “capture footage on a yet-to-be-announced tour,” according to the outlet.
Ally, Dinah, Lauren, and Normani announced in March 2018 that they would leave Fifth Harmony in a press release that came more than seven years later. All four of them have since released solo music, much like their former bandmate Camila.

The four members at the time said to fans, “We’ve realized how far we’ve come and how much we appreciate everything, more than ever,” in response. We’ve really had a wonderful time together, and we can’t begin to express our gratitude to you for supporting us on this extraordinary journey.
“We also realized that in order to stay true to ourselves and to you, we do need to take a break from Fifth Harmony in order to pursue solo endeavors after going hard, nonstop for six years.”
We are all very excited and appreciative to be able to use this time to learn, develop, and ultimately find our feet as individuals, according to the statement. We are allowing ourselves to gain new knowledge, skills, and perspectives to return to our Fifth Harmony family through this.
Thank you for everything we’ve been able to create as Fifth Harmony, Fifth Harmony said at the time. We will continue to grow on ourselves, continue to support one another in everything we do, and continue to make you, each other, and ourselves proud. We are eagerly awaiting the conclusion of the year’s run, which will still take place as planned.
Fifth Harmony’s representatives have been contacted by The Mirror for comment.

At the Jack Nicklaus Memorial Tournament in Columbus, Ohio, Ben Griffin shot a seven-under-par 65 to take the lead.
Collin Morikawa and fellow American Collin Morikawa shot up Griffin’s lead after the latter’s win, which was his first PGA Tour victory last week.
Robert Griffin, 29, took control of the seventh hole with an eagle and four birdies in the final five holes.
In the end, Morikawa, who twice finished second in this competition, went round in five under Max Homa, who was a shot further back.
“Look at the season Rory has had,” the quote read.
Rory McIlroy, the previous masters champion, will miss the event because he chose to compete in the Canadian Open the following week.
The 36-year-old from Northern Ireland skipped The Sentry and the RBC Heritage for the third time this year that he hasn’t participated in one of the PGA Tour’s signature events.
Nicklaus and PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan both defended McIlroy’s decision, and Nicklaus said he understood it.
“Rory McIlroy has participated in this tournament every year since 2017,” McIlroy said. And you consider the competitions he supports, Monahan said.
“I don’t have any concerns because, in the long run, his support for our tournaments and our partners is extraordinary.
Look at Rory’s entire season. He has a transformative season.
Ten months after being forced to resign from his role in Benfica’s boyhood club Rosario Central due to threats of death, Angel di Maria will return to his old club.
The 37-year-old joined Rosario in 2005, and the top-flight Argentine club announced his return on Thursday.
There are more pages to write about our history together. The Rosario-based club posted a video to X that read, “Welcome home.”
Before joining Benfica in Europe, the 2022 World Cup winner spent two seasons with Rosario.
He then appeared in more than 700 international matches for Juventus, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Paris St. Germain, and Benfica.
Di Maria’s plans to rejoin Rosario as a free agent were put on hold last summer due to rising drug-related violence and threats to his and his family.
Di Maria stated in a statement from last July that there was a threat to my sister’s business, a box with a pig’s head and a bullet in the forehead, and a note that said my daughter Pia would be the next head when I went back to [Rosario] Central.
“Those months were terrible. We were only able to linger on the floor and we cried each night because we couldn’t carry that dream back.
Di Maria has won 30 European titles, including titles in three leagues, the 2013-14 Champions League with Real, and the World Cup and two Copa America titles with Argentina.
In a memorable late-night thriller, Jack Draper defeated home favorite Gael Monfils to secure a third-round matchup that will feature three British men for the first time since 1968.
Fifth seed Draper stayed focused and regrouped to defeat Court Philippe Chatrier 6-3,4-6,6-3, 7-5 with the Parisian crowd ready to take on 38-year-old Monfils.
Monfils, the former world number six, was unable to serve out at 5-3 or take two set points at 5-4 in a tense contest that featured high-quality rallies and entertainment.
The best Roland Garros win of his young career was incredibly well-maintained by Draper, 23.
After that, Draper said, “My brain was fried out here.”
“I’m not sure if I’ll go to sleep tonight because of what Galel was doing out here. My brain is just all over the place.”
Jacob Fearnley and Cameron Norrie, who play each other in an all-British meeting, are the next-to-be-played Brazilian teenager, who is the British number one.
Fearnley, 23, made progress when Ugo Humbert, his French rival, retired after a bad fall.
When 22nd seed Humbert resigned, Fearnley, who had earlier this year taken Norrie as the country’s top female, was leading 6-3 4-4.
Federico Gomez, 29, defeated Argentine qualifier Federico Gomez 7-6 (9-7) 6-2 6-1 to claim his place earlier on Thursday.
Draper shows maturity to eke out the Paris crowd.
Draper has grown to be a dominant player with real ambitions to win the biggest prizes in the sport over the past year.
Another illustration of the Englishman’s growing maturity was the 23-year-old’s triumph over Monfils.
Draper has now come back with a point to prove after two agonizing experiences on the Paris clay.
For his first career victory at Roland Garros, he battled from a set down against Italian opponent Mattia Bellucci on Tuesday.
The popular Monfils, who can captivate audiences with his entertaining and vivacious acting, has a similar theme.
One of his favorite sons playing in the final year of his career gave the French fans a reputation for being boisterous, which Draper had to block out to create an upbeat atmosphere.
Crucially, he managed to stay calm for the majority of the entertaining contest.
After Monfils leveled, Draper remained unapologetically led despite being enthusiastically cheered and with the audience yelling at him to stop.

Although a riot in his box caused some tension and drew home fans’ whistles, Draper was unable to stop him from dropping serve for 4-2.
Draper took his chance in the ninth game after missing four break-return points in the 13-minute seventh game, but Monfils added two more points.
Draper, however, is a different animal these days.
He showed once more that he can survive difficult circumstances well into Grand Slam competitions, despite avoiding a decider this time by winning three straight five-setters at the Australian Open in January.
At 11:44 p.m. local time, Draper managed to keep his cool by winning the match’s final five games.
There were times when I was very irritated, but I kept reminding myself that this is why I put in the effort to play on these kinds of courts, Draper said.
Fearnley is helped by a nasty fall in setting up the Norrie meeting.
Another notable achievement for Edinburgh’s Fearnley was taking the title of British number two earlier this year.
Fearnley was ranked outside of the top 500 just 12 months after graduating from a US university in April of last year.
He has since broken ground at Grand Slam competitions and achieved one of the fastest climbs in ATP Tour history.
At Roland Garros, he and Swiss former champion Stan Wawrinka were paired against each other last week, and the draws continued.
In a capable position to face Humbert, he was benefited by his effective victory in calming the pro-Wawrinka crowd.
Fearnley sucked some energy from the home fans in a confident start thanks to his background in the trash-talking US college game.
In the second set, he did lose by a break, but he made it on a path no one would want to take.
In the eighth game, Humbert slammed his right leg as he stretched for a return at 40-40.

Fearnley’s French Open debut moved him into the top 32, making him 55th overall.
He will now turn his attention to Norrie, who also studied at Texas Christian University and eventually became a professional player.
Norrie, who placed 81st in the rankings, returned to form on clay and won one of his career’s most admirable victories earlier this week over Daniil Medvedev at Roland Garros, beating the then-world number one.
A different challenge presented itself when he faced 114th-ranked Gomez in a match he had anticipated to win.
I had to prepare for this game because I was the one who would win, according to Norrie.
