All 166 people abducted during a violent attack on Kurmin Wali village in Kaduna State, northern Nigeria, have been released, according to the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).

US Police Arrest 12 Anti-ICE Protesters at Columbia University

US police have arrested 12 protesters at Columbia University in New York during a demonstration against the university’s alleged cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The protesters, who described themselves as anti-ICE activists, accused the Ivy League institution of working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and demanded that the campus be formally declared a sanctuary space for undocumented students and staff. According to authorities, the arrests were made after demonstrators refused to disperse and allegedly violated campus and city regulations. Police did not immediately release details on the charges, but confirmed that the situation was brought under control without serious injuries. Protesters Demand Sanctuary Status Demonstrators say Columbia has failed to adequately protect immigrant students amid heightened immigration enforcement nationwide. They are calling on university leadership to sever any cooperation with ICE and publicly commit to non-cooperation policies. Chants and […]

Jinapor Criticises 24-Hour Economy Bill, Says Policy Has Created No Jobs

Member of Parliament for Damongo, Samuel Abu Jinapor, has sharply criticised the government’s proposed 24-Hour Economy Authority Bill, arguing that the flagship policy has failed to deliver jobs nearly a year into the administration. Speaking during parliamentary consideration of the bill on Thursday, February 5, Mr. Jinapor said the much-touted three-shift, eight-hour work system remains largely theoretical and has not translated into meaningful employment for Ghana’s unemployed youth. “Eleven months into the NDC administration, their flagship programme of a 24-hour economy, with the three-shift system for unemployed Ghanaian youth, the only place working some form of shifts today is the Office of the Speaker of Parliament, and even that is not a full 24-hour operation,” he stated. Questions Over New Authority Mr. Jinapor questioned the rationale behind establishing a new authority to supervise the policy, warning that it risks duplicating […]

Elon Musk Responds as Federal Raid Claims and Epstein Allegations Go Viral
