An airstrike on their base in Birnin Magaji forest by the Nigerian Air Force displaced the bandits.

It was reported that their cows which were suspected to be rustled were confiscated.and kept at the emir’s palace in Birnin Magaji. However, early last week, the cattle were taken to Gusau, the state capital.

Seven of the bandits and an official of the State Security Service (SSS) came to the emir’s palace to plead for the release of the cows.

The emir, Husseini Dan-Ali, was in Kaduna when the suspected bandits came and his secretary, Muhammadu Mai-inji, had a meeting with them.

Residents however got wind of the meeting and reportedly laid siege for the suspected bandits and lynched them after they came out of the palace from the meeting.

The suspected SSS official was rescued by soldiers, although he sustained severe injuries.

Meanwhile, the acting inspector general of police Mohammed Adamu ordered the immediate redeployment of the Commissioner of Police in charge of Kaduna state Command, Mr Ahmed Abdulrahaman to the Force Intelligence Bureau, Abuja.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki.

However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
