Pastor Beinmo Jonah, injured brother of the the Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State at the Bayelsa Government House Clinic

The Bayelsa deputy governor’s brother, Beinmopre Jonah, escaped death by the whiskers on Thursday, as thugs suspected to be working for the All Progressives Congress, (APC) invaded his residence in Ekeki, Yenagoa local government area of the state, leaving him unconscious.

The hoodlums suspected to be party thugs, stormed his residence brandishing dangerous weapons, including machetes and cudgels.

The entire area was thrown into pandemonium, as the suspected thugs threatened to shoot, maim and kill anybody that may put up resistance or call security operatives.

According to an eyewitness account, “The invaders overpowered his guard, broke the security lock of the gate and headed straight to the living room, where he was with members of his family and they attacked him.”

The victim overpowered him and the defenceless Jonah was inflicted machete cuts all over his body before they finally left.

The operation, which lasted for close to two hours left the entire neighbourhood in a state of fear, as they were made to stay indoors.

As at the time of filing this report, the victim whose head was heavily bandaged with machete cuts all over his body is receiving treatment at the Government House clinic, Yenagoa.

Also, efforts to get his comment on the incident proved abortive, as he was in a state of unconsciousness, with serious injuries to his head, neck and chest.

The attack is coming on the heels of Saturday’s supplementary polls in Southern Ijaw LGA and 101 units across 6 local governments in the state, which is expected to be a deciding factor.

Reacting to the incident, the Director of Publicity, Restoration Campaign Organisation, Hon. Jonathan Obuebite condemned the attack, describing it as a confirmation of the PDP’s earlier position that APC is not ready for election but for war.

“The attack on the immediate younger brother of the Deputy Governor is a pointer to the terror that the APC is planning to unleash on the people of the state during Saturday’s re-run.”

The Director of Publicity, therefore, called for thorough investigation into the matter, adding that, this is the only way the people in the state will have confidence in the security personnel.

According to him, it is sad to note that, some top politicians and ex-militants alleged to be responsible for the botched December 2015 governorship election in Southern Ijaw local government area are still working freely, without being arrested by the security agencies.

INSIGHT ON THE NORTH KOREAN NUCLEAR TEST

            INSIGHT ON THE NORTH KOREAN NUCLEAR TEST

 

North Korea's nuclear programme: How advanced is it?

Has North Korea got the bomb?

Technically yes, but not yet the means to deliver it via a missile.
In 2006, 2009, 2013 and 2016, North Korea announced that it had conducted successful nuclear tests - they came after the North was sanctioned by the UN for launching rockets.

Analysts believe the first two tests used plutonium as the fissile material. The North is believed to possess enough weapons-grade plutonium for at least six bombs.
Whether it used plutonium or uranium as the starting material for the 2013 test is unclear.
While these were atomic bomb tests, North Korea said its test in January 2016 was of a hydrogen bomb. Again, the starting material is unclear.
H-bombs use fusion - the merging of atoms - to unleash massive amounts of energy, whereas atomic bombs use nuclear fission, or the splitting of atoms.
However, some experts cast doubt on the H-bomb claim, given the size of the explosion registered.

What do we know about the North's nuclear programme?

The Yongbyon site is thought to be its main nuclear facility. The North has pledged several times to halt operations there and even destroyed the cooling tower in 2008 as part of a disarmament-for-aid deal.
But in March 2013, after a war of words with the US and with new UN sanctions over the North's third nuclear test, it vowed to restart all facilities at Yongbyon.
However, the US never believed Pyongyang was fully disclosing all of its nuclear facilities - a suspicion bolstered when North Korea unveiled a uranium enrichment facility at Yongbyon (purportedly for electricity generation) to US scientist Siegfried Hecker in 2010.
Mr Hecker's 2010 visit and subsequent report remains the most recent and reliable account of the complex.
In April 2015 a US think tank said satellite pictures taken in early 2015 suggested the reactor at Yongbyon may have been restarted. Then in September, state media announced that "normal operation" had started at the production plant.
The January 2016 test was said to have been carried out at the Punggye-ri site.

Both the US and South Korea have also said that they believed the North had additional sites linked to a uranium-enrichment programme.
A test based on a uranium device would spell new dangers for monitoring and proliferation because weapons-grade plutonium enrichment happens in large facilities that are easier to spot.
Uranium enrichment uses many, possibly small, centrifuges that can be hidden away. While North Korea has depleted its stocks of "reactor-grade" plutonium needed to make the weapons-grade variety, the country has plentiful reserves of uranium ore.

What has the global community done about the programme?

Multiple rounds of negotiations have taken place between the North, the US, Russia, China, Japan and South Korea aimed at persuading Pyongyang to give up its nuclear ambitions. But none of this has ultimately deterred North Korea.
In September 2005, after more than two years of on-off talks, North Korea agreed a landmark deal to give up its nuclear ambitions in return for economic aid and political concessions.
Implementing the deal proved extremely difficult and the talks stalled in April 2009.
Contacts in July 2011 did not get far before long-time leader Kim Jong-il died and was succeeded by his son, Kim Jong-un.
Another step forward in early 2012, when North Korea suddenly announced it would suspend nuclear activities and place a moratorium on missile tests in exchange for US food aid, came to nothing when Pyongyang tried to launch a rocket in April that year.
The UN further tightened sanctions after the 2013 test.
The 2016 test brought another round of universal international condemnation, including from China.

Did the 2013 test advance North Korea's nuclear capabilities?

North Korea made certain claims about its capabilities in the wake of its test.
Firstly, it claimed it had "miniaturised" a device, that is, made a device small enough to fit a nuclear warhead onto a missile.
In April 2015, it repeated this claim, but US officials were quoted as casting doubt on this claim and experts say it is difficult to assess the progress North Korea has made on miniaturisation.
Pyongyang also said the 2013 test had a much greater yield than the plutonium devices it detonated in 2006 and 2009.
Some analysts have suggested that warnings of a "high-level" test could have been code for the use of highly enriched uranium (HEU) rather than plutonium.
Although both represent roughly the same level of threat, a uranium bomb would signify a huge technological achievement because the process of distilling natural uranium ore to the stuff suitable for bombs is profoundly difficult.
The 2013 test was indeed larger in force than previous ones but monitors failed to detect radioactive isotopes. Finding certain isotopes would help experts determine whether a plutonium or uranium-based device was used.
But a well-contained test could yield no radioactive isotopes, experts say. So uncertainty remains.

2016 - an H-bomb test?

North Korea's claims it carried out an underground test of a hydrogen bomb in January 2016 were met with plenty of scepticism.
Initial estimates put the blast in the 10 to 15 kiloton range, whereas a full thermonuclear blast would be closer to 100 kilotons.
Tests for regional radioactivity will again be carried out, but there is no certainty they will offer a definitive conclusion.
As in 2013, North Korea claimed this was a successful test of a miniaturised device. Again it has not been verified.

On the US Geological Survey detected an unusual 5.1-magnitude tremor in North Korea, located in the northeast of the country — a part of the world not known for earthquakes but very close to the nuclear test site of Punggye-ri. This underground nuclear site has been the location of three previous nuclear tests in 2006, 2009, and 2013, so monitoring agencies suspected that a fourth one had just happened:

Hours after the tremors, the North Korean regime announced it had successfully carried out its first underground test of a hydrogen bomb — a weapon much more powerful than an atomic bomb. But many experts discounted these claims because they say the blast wasn't large enough for a hydrogen bomb, which would yield 20 megatons, versus the 6 kilotons estimated in the recent test.

Even if North Korea didn't detonate an H-bomb, the tremor could still be North Korea's fourth nuclear test, and the United Nations Security Council has condemned it as "a clear threat to international peace."
North Korea has been developing a missile program over the past few decades, which has grown from artillery rockets to short- and medium-range ballistic missiles. It's also trying to develop long-range missiles. According to experts, some of these missiles could have the capacity to carry nuclear warheads, but there are doubts that North Korea can develop a nuclear weapon small enough for that. Here's a summary of North Korea's current missile program:

In addition to all the missiles on the chart above, there are reports that North Korea may have test-fired a ballistic missile from a submarine in late December. And in May, North Korea said it had conducted a similar successful submarine launch. A submarine-launched missile would be a significant boost to Pyongyang arsenal because those missiles are very difficult to detect and have a bigger range than land-based ones.
