Latest COVID-19 outbreak in China ‘ll be contained soon – Official

The latest resurgence of COVID-19 in China could be effectively contained in a short time, if response measures were strictly enforced, a health official said on Thursday.
“The COVID-19 pandemic in China is controllable now,’’ said He Qinghua.
Qinghua, a senior official with the National Health Commission, stated this at a news conference in Beijing.
He acknowledged that the current wave of cases was more complicated and had put some strain on response efforts, since it had multiple imported sources and had affected a wide range of places and people.
He noted that the governments of all affected places had adopted rigorous anti-epidemic measures, following a national epidemic control scheme and taking local situations into account.

Opposition no longer safe with recruitment of Osun PDP members into Amotekun – APM

The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Osun State has raised concerns over the alleged recruitment of members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) into the state’s Amotekun Corps, claiming it threatens the safety of opposition members.
In a statement issued on Friday, APM Chairman, Mr. Adewale Adebayo, criticized the recruitment process, alleging that non-PDP applicants were deliberately screened out. He warned that Amotekun, originally created to enhance security, was being turned into a political tool.
“We are disturbed by the protest by well-meaning Osun residents who applied but were deliberately excluded because they are not PDP members,” Adebayo stated.
He further alleged that over 1,000 PDP members had been recruited into the corps, describing it as an attempt to silence opposition voices. According to him, the recruitment exercise was merely a formality to cover up a pre-arranged selection process favoring ruling party members.
APM has called for the resignation of the Corps Commandant and Field Commandant of Amotekun, demanding an apology to the affected applicants and the people of the state. The party insisted that the security outfit must remain apolitical to maintain public trust.
Neither the Osun State Government nor the leadership of Amotekun has responded to the allegations as of the time of this report.
