CJN urges ECOWAS Court to adopt uniform enforcement rules for its judgments

Chief Justice of Nigeria Justice Kudirat Kekere Ekun has called on the ECOWAS Court of Justice to work with member states to develop a uniform procedure for enforcing its judgments across the region. She said inconsistent enforcement practices in different countries undermine the authority of the regional court and weaken citizens’ confidence in regional justice. The CJN spoke in Abuja during a bilateral meeting on the status of ECOWAS Court judgments, attended by the court’s president, Justice Edward Amoako Asante, and other officials. She acknowledged the court’s “landmark” human rights decisions but noted that their impact is limited if executive branches in member states fail to carry them out. Justice Kekere Ekun advised the court to use the forum to design clear, harmonised enforcement guidelines that national authorities can adopt and apply. She stressed that while enforcement ultimately lies with […]

Argungu Fishing Festival returns as thousands gather in Kebbi State

Thousands of fishermen surged into the milky waters of the Matan Fadan River in Argungu, northwestern Nigeria, as the renowned Argungu International Fishing Festival made its long-awaited return. The river, which winds through lush landscape in Kebbi State, is a designated UNESCO heritage site and remains closed to fishing throughout the year. It is overseen by a traditional authority known as the Sarkin Ruwa, or water chief, until the annual competition opens its waters to thousands of participants. On Saturday, President Bola Tinubu joined spectators to cheer on competitors battling for the largest catch, despite lingering security concerns that kept some visitors away. Tradition at the heart of competition Fishermen relied strictly on traditional tools — hand-woven nets and calabash gourds — while some demonstrated remarkable skill by catching fish with their bare hands. Canoes dotted the river as participants […]

Kenya’s Mau Mau History: The Uprising That Led to Independence

Kenya’s Mau Mau movement remains one of the most significant chapters in the country’s journey to independence. Emerging in the 1950s under British colonial rule, the uprising was rooted in land dispossession, political exclusion, and economic injustice. Though controversial and often misunderstood, the Mau Mau rebellion played a decisive role in ending colonial rule and redefining Kenya’s national identity. Colonial Rule and Rising Grievances British colonial control in Kenya formally began in the late 19th century. Over time, large areas of fertile land were taken from African communities, particularly the Kikuyu, and handed to European settlers. These lands became known as the “White Highlands.” African farmers were pushed into overcrowded reserves, forced into wage labor, and subjected to restrictive laws. Political representation was limited, and African voices were largely excluded from governance. By the mid-20th century, frustration had grown into […]

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.
