No fewer than 32 people, including two Chinese migrants, were arrested over illegal mining following a raid of the Kisi-Sooro market by the state joint security taskforce, popularly called Operation Burst, on Sunday. The arrest came after a clearance operation against illegal miners at an illegal lithium mining market in Sooro, Irepo, a local government area of the state. Ajibola attributed the successes in the fight against illegal mining to the collaboration between traditional leaders and security agencies. Aside from arresting the illegal market, Odukoya said the state government has ordered the indefinite closure of the Sooro market at Kisi. He insisted that the state government would not tolerate any act of lawlessness in any form, including illegal mining, as he tasked residents of the area not to conspire with culprits.

• He was a liability to PDP, says CommissionerA former member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BoT) in Edo State, Charles Idahosa, yesterday, defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying that he regretted supporting Governor Godwin Obaseki four years ago. Idahosa said that his greatest regret is stopping Obaseki from resigning in 2020 after he was frustrated out of the APC in his bid to seek reelection on the party’s platform. Speaking to newsmen shortly after defecting to the APC at his residence in Benin City, with leaders of the party in attendance, including the Edo APC Secretary, Lawrence Okah, former Deputy Governor of Edo State, Dr. Pius Odubu, a chieftain of APC in Edo South Senatorial District, Washington Osifo, and member representingOrhiomwon/Uhunmwonde Federal Constituency, Billy Osawaru, among others, Idahosa said that his return to the party is a homecoming.

On 12 December 2023, “COURT CONFIRMS EDISON EHIE AS AUTHENTIC RIVERS ASSEMBLY SPEAKER” (published inguardian.ng)4️⃣. I saw yesterday (09/05/2024) where one of our great seniors was arguing strongly that mere defection doesn’t render the lawmakers’ seats vacant. I saw also another opinion, that a court must declare the seats vacant before the seats can become vacant. There is no doubt that the 27 lawmakers are the ones who had voluntarily given their opponents the weapon with which to fight the 27 lawmakers. Thus, I agree with respected Femi Falana, SAN, that the defection of the 27 lawmakers was ill-advised, self-defeating and counterproductive.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has sparked speculation about the future of software engineering. Questions abound regarding the impact of AI on the role of software engineers, with some fearing that automation will render human expertise obsolete. Furthermore, far from displacing human engineers, AI serves as a catalyst for innovation that augments our capabilities, unlocks new possibilities, and accelerates progress. By harnessing the power of AI, software engineers can tackle increasingly complex challenges, explore uncharted territories, and pioneer groundbreaking solutions that redefine the boundaries of what is achievable. In conclusion, the narrative of AI replacing software engineers oversimplifies the dynamic interplay between technology and human creativity.
