Ethiopia accuses Eritrea of military aggression and backing rebels

Ethiopia’s foreign minister has accused neighbouring Eritrea of military aggression and interference, alleging that Eritrean forces are occupying Ethiopian territory and backing armed groups operating inside the country. The accusations mark a sharp escalation in tensions between the two Horn of Africa neighbours, whose relationship has deteriorated since the end of Ethiopia’s war in the northern Tigray region. Ethiopia and Eritrea fought a devastating border war between 1998 and 2000 before signing a landmark peace agreement in 2018. They later became allies during Ethiopia’s two-year conflict with Tigray authorities. However, Eritrea was not a signatory to the 2022 peace deal that ended the Tigray war, and relations have steadily worsened since then. In a letter dated Saturday, February 7, Ethiopian Foreign Minister Gedion Timothewos told his Eritrean counterpart Osman Saleh Mohammed that Eritrean troops had been stationed inside Ethiopian territory […]

All 166 Kidnapped Worshippers Released After Kaduna Church Attack

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). The victims were kidnapped last month when armed men stormed the village and its churches, forcing residents and worshippers into the surrounding forest. Reverend John Hayab, chairman of CAN’s northern chapter, confirmed the release on Thursday, saying every abducted person had safely returned. He did not disclose whether a ransom was paid or how negotiations were conducted, Reuters reported. Governor to Receive Freed Victims CAN’s Kaduna State chairman, Reverend Caleb Maaji, also confirmed the development, saying he had just returned from the Kaduna State Government House, where preparations were underway for the governor to officially receive the freed worshippers. “The stage is set for them to be brought.

Ghana to import fuel from Dangote refinery

The Government of Ghana has pledged to start importing petroleum products from the Dangote Petroleum Refinery in Lagos, Nigeria, as part of plans to strengthen energy security and cut costs.​ Ghana’s Energy Minister, Matthew Opoku Prempeh, gave the assurance during a visit to the 650,000 barrels per day refinery, where he inspected facilities and held talks with the management team. He said Accra is committed to making the refinery a key source of fuel supply once commercial terms are finalised.​ Prempeh noted that buying refined products from Nigeria is expected to be cheaper than relying on distant imports from Europe. He added that shorter shipping distances and regional cooperation should help reduce freight charges and ease pressure on Ghana’s foreign reserves. Officials in both countries say the move will deepen economic ties between Ghana and Nigeria and support West Africa’s […]

Russian Forces Help Repel ISIL Attack on Niger Airport

Russian soldiers assisted Nigerien forces in repelling a deadly attack claimed by the armed group ISIL (ISIS) on Niger’s main international airport in Niamey, according to a statement from Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In a release issued on Monday, Moscow said the assault was thwarted through the joint efforts of Russia’s Ministry of Defence African Corps and the Nigerien armed forces. “The attack was repelled through the coordinated actions of Russian and Nigerien forces,” the ministry said, strongly condemning what it described as a new extremist attack in the Sahel region. Attack Leaves Dozens of Assailants Dead or Captured Niger’s military authorities earlier confirmed that “Russian partners” played a role in stopping the rare and bold assault on the capital. The attack reportedly resulted in the deaths of 20 attackers, including a French national, while four Nigerien soldiers were […]

Ghana inflation falls to five year low

Ghana’s inflation rate eased to 3.8 percent in January, the lowest level since the consumer price index was rebased in 2021, extending a 13 month run of slowing price growth.​ Data from the Ghana Statistical Service showed prices rose by 0.2 percent compared with December, as both food and non food costs continued to moderate. Food inflation slowed to 3.9 percent year on year, while non food prices declined by 0.4 percent on a monthly basis.​ The steady fall in inflation has encouraged the Bank of Ghana to shift policy. The central bank cut its benchmark interest rate by 250 basis points to 15.50 percent last week to support economic growth while keeping prices under control.​ Officials say the disinflation trend has been driven by a stronger cedi, lower import costs and better food supply, backed by tighter monetary policy […]

South Africa restores power to Nigerian High Commission after settling debt

Electricity supply has been restored to the Nigerian High Commission in Pretoria after the mission settled outstanding utility debts owed to the City of Tshwane. Tshwane Executive Mayor, Nasiphi Moya, confirmed the reconnection on Monday, thanking the High Commission for honouring its financial obligations to the municipality. She said the city proceeded to reconnect power once the arrears were cleared. The mission had earlier been disconnected as part of an enforcement drive against customers owing for services. Announcing the cut‑off in a previous post on X, Moya said the High Commission owed the city for utility services and shared a photograph of the Nigerian mission building. The Nigerian High Commission has yet to issue an official statement on the episode, but local authorities say the matter is now resolved following payment of the debt.

Oyedele reminds Nigerians of March 31 deadline for individual tax returns

Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, Taiwo Oyedele, has urged Nigerians to file their annual tax returns within the deadlines set by law. He said employers must file their annual returns for employees, including pay projections and tax deductions, by January 31 each year. Individuals, including salary earners, must file their self assessment tax returns by March 31 for the previous fiscal year. Speaking during a webinar for HR managers, payroll officers, chief financial officers and tax managers, organised with the Joint Revenue Board, Oyedele warned that compliance levels remain very low nationwide. He noted that even in the most advanced states, less than five per cent of eligible individuals file returns. He explained that employees often assume that once employers deduct tax from their salaries, they have no further obligation. He stressed that this […]

Ugandan president’s son issues death threat to Bobi Wine

Confusion has trailed reports that 172 worshippers who is also President Yoweri Museveni’s son, has publicly said he wants opposition leader Bobi Wine dead. His remarks came days after Wine claimed he had gone into hiding following a police raid on his home.​ Kainerugaba made the threats in posts on X after Museveni secured an eighth term in last Thursday’s election, which observers and rights groups heavily criticised. The opposition led by 43 year old Bobi Wine, real name Robert Kyagulanyi, alleges widespread violence and intimidation before the vote.​ In one post, Kainerugaba wrote that security forces had killed 22 National Unity Platform “terrorists” in the past week and added that he was praying Bobi Wine would be the 23rd. In another message he gave Wine 48 hours to surrender to the police or be treated as an outlaw or […]

Uganda opposition leader Bobi Wine ‘escapes’ house arrest

Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine says he escaped a night‑time raid on his home by police and army personnel, hours after rejecting early election results that show President Yoweri Museveni heading for another term in office. In a post on X, the former pop star, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, said security forces stormed his residence, cut power and disabled some CCTV cameras before he managed to flee.​ Wine said he is now in an undisclosed location while his wife and family remain effectively under house arrest, surrounded by soldiers and police. Ugandan authorities have denied abducting him, with a police spokesman insisting he is “at home” and “not under arrest,” despite his party alleging an army helicopter had earlier landed in his compound and taken him away.​ The opposition figure has accused the government of massive vote‑rigging in […]
