War: Putin signs decree, enlists 134,500 young men into Russian army
Russia is conscripting 134,500 men between the ages of 18 and 27, according to a decree signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The young men would be enlisted by mid-July.
At the same time, the mandatory 12 months of military service for Russians is being scrapped.
It was unclear how many conscripts would leave the army to join the reserves, NAN reports.
The one-year stint of military service for men between 18 and 27 is a legal requirement in Russia.
The Russian Minister of Defence, Sergei Shoigu, emphasized that new recruits would not be sent to hotspots a few days ago.
Furthermore, this spring would see fewer men conscripted than the spring of 2021, when 134,650 men 150 more than this year were enlisted into the army.
Russian troops invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24.
Around two weeks later, the government admitted that conscripts were being sent into the fighting.
Moscow said it had been unaware of this and promised to investigate these cases and punish those responsible.

Tribunal stops MultiChoice from increasing tariffs on products, services
A Competition and Consumer Protection (CCP) Tribunal sitting in Abuja has restrained MultiChoice Nigeria Limited from increasing its tariffs and cost of products and services scheduled to begin on April 1.
The three-member tribunal, presided over by Thomas Okosun, gave the order following an ex-parte motion moved by Festus Onifade, a legal practitioner, on behalf of himself and the Coalition of Nigeria Consumers.
Other members of the tribunal include Sola Salako Ajulo and Ibrahim El-Yakubu.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that in the suit marked: CCPT/OP/1/2022, MultiChoice Nigeria Limited and Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) are 1st and 2nd respondents, respectively.
The motion ex-parte filed by the applicants on March 29 was brought pursuant to Section 39 (1) & (2) of FCCPC Act 2018; Order 26, Rule 5 (2), (3) & 26 Rule 6 (1) & (2) Federal High Court (Civil Procedure) Rules 2019 and Section 47(a), (b), (c),(d), of Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act 2018.
The applicants had prayed for “an order of interim injunction restraining the 1st defendants/respondents, either by itself, agents, representatives, officers or privies, howsoever described, from carrying out the impending increase in tariffs and cost of its products and services intended to take effect from April 1, 2022, until the hearing and determination of the motion on notice already filed before this tribunal.
“An order of the Honourable Tribunal mandating the 1st defendant/respondents to maintain status quo pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.
“And for such further order or other orders as this Honourable Tribunal may deem fit to make in the circumstance.”
In the ruling, the tribunal ordered MultiChoice Nigeria Limited to stop the planned hike in tariffs and cost of its products and services pending the hearing and determination of the motion.
“The 1st defendant/respondent is hereby restrained, either by itself, agents, representatives, officers or privies, howsoever described, from carrying out the impending increase in tariffs and cost of its products and services intended to take effect from April 1, 2022, until the hearing and determination of the motion on notice already filed before this Honourable Tribunal.
“The 1st defendant/respondent is hereby mandated to maintain status quo pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice,” the tribunal ruled.
The matter was adjourned until April 11 for the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.
“All parties in this suit are to appear before this Honourable Tribunal on April 11, 2022,” it ruled.
The Senate had on Wednesday constituted a seven-man ad-hoc committee to carry out a comprehensive investigation into the tariff hike by DStv (MultiChoice Nigeria) with a view to bringing the pricing activities in line with international practice.

‘This violence questions our capacity to govern’ — NGF condemns Kaduna train attack
The Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) has described the Abuja-Kaduna train attack as “a horror dream”.
The train was attacked by gunmen on Monday night while it was a few minutes away from the Kaduna station.
About eight people were killed in the attack while many others were injured and several unaccounted for.
Reacting to the incident, the forum, in a statement by Kayode Fayemi, its chairman, said the attack was one too many and must be stopped.
The forum lamented that the spate of attacks questions the ability of governors to govern their states.
The forum condoled with families of victims while assuring Nigerians that the country will surmount the problem and that the “ugly phase will pass”.
“First, as leaders, we owe the victims and their relations an apology as these unwarranted acts of violence are becoming too regular and they basically question our collective capacity to govern,” the statement reads.
“God will grant those that lost their lives eternal peace and a place in the deepest recesses of heaven. We wish those that were injured speedy recovery to resume their lives and put their heartless aggressors to shame.
“If the intention of these murderers is to disrupt the peaceful coexistence of Nigerians, they will not succeed and when eventually total peace returns to the country, they will surely either be lifeless or excluded. I can assure you that this is an ugly phase in our national experience. It will certainly pass.”
The forum commended the security forces for their “bravery” in curtailing the attack and also expressed their support and commitment to enhancing their operational strength.
“While expressing our sincere condolences to Nigerians particularly the government and good people of Kaduna State, we want to salute the bravery of our security forces in curtailing the magnitude of havoc this attack was intended to visit on innocent travelers. Our prayers are with you,” it added.
“We would continue to drum our support for the professional work you do and provide assistance in enhancing your operational strength and combat readiness. We recognize the enormous risk you take every day.
“The cowards behind this will certainly not take over our country. Their violent demeanour will not result in anything positive instead it will confine them to an uncomfortable life in the jungle until the long arm of the law catches up with them.”
The forum called on the authorities to immediately install all necessary safeguards to forestall future attacks on the country’s rail tracks, roads, ports, and borders.
It also asked the security agencies to improve on intelligence-gathering.
“We need not remind those concerned that these constitute a major backbone to our national assets,” it said.
“We need to improve on security intelligence and ability to act on intelligence gathered. In general, we need to give comfort to all our citizens, residents, and investors that the security of lives and property can be taken for granted. And that there is a Government that is clearly in charge of what needs to be done.”
