Cuba has announced the death of Assata Shakur, a US citizen and former Black Liberation Army member who lived in exile on the island for decades after being convicted of killing a police officer in New Jersey. The Cuban foreign ministry confirmed that Shakur — born Joanne Deborah Byron and also known as JoAnne Chesimard — died in Havana on September 25, 2025, at the age of 78, citing health problems and old age. Shakur, a prominent figure in the Black nationalist movement of the 1970s, was accused alongside two others of fatally shooting New Jersey state trooper Werner Foerster during a traffic stop in 1973. She was convicted of murder in 1977 and sentenced to life in prison, but maintained her innocence, insisting she never held a gun and was surrendering when shots were fired.

Protesters Demand Answers 11 Years After Mexican Students Vanished

Eleven years after 43 students from Ayotzinapa teacher training college disappeared, relatives and supporters returned to the streets of Mexico City on Friday, demanding truth and justice in a case that remains one of the country’s darkest human rights scandals. The students, known for their political activism, were last seen on September 26, 2014, after they commandeered buses to travel to a demonstration in Mexico City. Investigators believe they were kidnapped by a drug cartel in collusion with corrupt police, but what happened next remains shrouded in mystery. So far, only the remains of three students have been identified. The whereabouts of the rest remain unknown, leaving families trapped in years of uncertainty. “We are back where we started,” said Delfina de la Cruz, whose son was among the missing. “I want to see my son, know what happened, where […]

Singapore gives Meta Sept 30 deadline to curb govt impersonation scams

The Singapore government has given Meta until September 30 to crack down on the surge of scams on Facebook that impersonate government officials or risk heavy financial penalties. According to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), police issued a directive requiring Meta to remove or block scam advertisements, accounts, profiles, and business pages impersonating key government figures. Failure to comply could see Meta fined up to S$1 million (US$776,000), with an additional S$100,000 daily fine if the violations persist after conviction. The ministry highlighted a sharp increase in impersonation scams between June 2024 and June 2025, with Facebook cited as the main platform used by fraudsters. Authorities said that although Meta has introduced global anti-scam measures, such as enhanced detection systems, scammers in Singapore continue to exploit its platform. This is the first time Singapore has invoked its Online Criminal […]

Japan cancels ‘Africa Hometown’ project after visa mix-up with Nigeria

The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has scrapped its “JICA Africa Hometown” initiative, citing widespread “misunderstandings and confusion” over the programme. The decision, announced in a statement on JICA’s website Thursday, comes weeks after claims circulated that Japan would create a special visa category for young Nigerians wishing to relocate to Kisarazu, a Japanese city designated as a “hometown” under the scheme. On August 26, the Nigerian presidency issued a statement saying Japan planned to introduce a visa route for highly skilled and innovative Nigerians to live and work in Kisarazu. The Japanese government quickly denied the report, stressing that the programme was never immigration-related. Clarifying its position, JICA said the terminology used—particularly the designation of Japanese municipalities as “hometowns”—sparked confusion and placed “an excessive burden” on the four host municipalities. The agency explained: “Originally, under this initiative, it was […]

FBI offers $10,000 reward for Nigerian wanted over bank fraud in US

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has announced a $10,000 bounty for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Olumide Adebiyi Adediran, a Nigerian national wanted for multiple fraud-related offences in the United States. According to a statement released on the FBI’s website on Wednesday, the 56-year-old fugitive is facing charges of bank fraud, identity document fraud, and credit card fraud linked to alleged crimes in Illinois dating back to 2001. Adediran, who uses several aliases including Kevin Olumide Adediran, Eric O. Williams, Maxo Alexandre, Olumide Adkins, and Edward N. Anderson, allegedly attempted to cash fraudulent checks and used stolen identities of US citizens to open bank and credit accounts. The FBI said he fled the Central District of Illinois in December 2001, shortly before his trial was due to begin. A federal arrest warrant was issued on January […]

Japan: Woman arrested for hiding daughter’s body in freezer for 20 years

Japanese police have arrested a 75-year-old woman who admitted to keeping her daughter’s body in a freezer for nearly two decades. Police in Ibaraki prefecture, northeast of Tokyo, said investigators discovered the remains on Tuesday after the suspect, identified as Keiko Mori, came forward with a relative to report her actions. The body, dressed in a T-shirt and underwear, was found kneeling face-down inside a deep freezer in her home. Police believe the deceased to be Makiko, Mori’s daughter, born in 1975. She would have been about 49 or 50 years old if alive. “The body showed signs of advanced decay,” a police spokesperson said, adding that an autopsy will determine the cause of death. Mori reportedly told police she purchased the freezer because the body’s smell was filling the house. She has since been arrested on suspicion of abandoning […]

Sarkozy convicted of criminal conspiracy in Libya campaign finance trial

A Paris court on Thursday convicted former French president Nicolas Sarkozy on charges of criminal conspiracy in connection with allegations that late Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi helped finance his 2007 presidential campaign. The court, however, acquitted Sarkozy of corruption, embezzlement, and accepting illegal campaign funds. Sarkozy, 70, who led France from 2007 to 2012, has consistently denied any wrongdoing. He has already been convicted in two other cases and was stripped of the Legion of Honour, France’s highest distinction. Presiding judge Nathalie Gavarino said Sarkozy, as a minister and party leader at the time, “allowed his close collaborators and political supporters over whom he had authority and who acted in his name” to engage with Libyan officials to secure financial support. Prosecutors had requested a seven-year prison sentence, though sentencing is expected later in the hearing. Sarkozy attended the verdict […]
