South Korea’s Security Chief Calls for No Violence Despite Tensions Over Yoon’s Arrest
South Korea’s presidential security chief, Park Chong-jun, made a clear statement on Friday urging that there should be no violence or bloodshed if authorities try to execute another arrest warrant for impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, following his failed attempt to impose martial law.
He refused to cooperate with investigators, and last week, a tense standoff occurred between his security forces and law enforcement officers attempting to arrest him.
Yoon’s actions during the attempted martial law declaration have led to insurrection charges.
“I understand the concerns of the public, seeing the government in such conflict and confrontation,” Park said.
“However, there must be no physical clashes or bloodshed in this situation.”
Investigators obtained a new arrest warrant for Yoon after the previous seven-day order expired on Monday, aiming to question him over charges related to insurrection.
However, despite this, Yoon’s supporters have rallied around him, even braving freezing temperatures outside the presidential residence to protect him.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
