Police fire tear gas at Lagos residents protesting Makoko demolitions

There was tension in Lagos on Tuesday as police fired tear gas at residents protesting the demolition of homes in the Makoko waterfront community and other parts of the state. Members of the Makoko community, alongside activists and sympathisers, had gathered to condemn ongoing demolitions and forced evictions they say are displacing thousands of people, including women and children. The protesters marched with placards, chanting against what they described as inhumane and unlawful demolitions, and calling on the Lagos State Government to halt the exercise. They accused the authorities of extending demolitions far beyond previously agreed limits along the powerline corridor and of carrying on without proper notice, compensation or resettlement plans. Trouble started when security operatives, including officers of the Rapid Response Squad, moved in to disperse the crowd. Witnesses said the police fired multiple rounds of tear gas, […]

Protest rocks Ijebu Ode over alleged plot to impose new Awujale

Indigenes and residents of Ijebu Ode on Friday morning staged a protest over an alleged plot by powerful interests to impose a candidate as the next Awujale of Ijebuland. The demonstrators converged at the Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona Archway leading to the palace and marched towards the Ijebu Ode Local Government Headquarters at Itoro to register their grievances.​ The protest followed a circular issued on January 20, 2026 by the Ogun State Government directing the kingmakers to stop further action on the ongoing selection process. The circular halted moves to pick a candidate from the 95 nominees earlier submitted by leaders of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House, including Otunba Lateef Owoyemi (Olori Ebi), Prince Adedokun Ajidagba (Deputy Olori Ebi) and Professor Fassy Yusuf (Vice Chairman).​ The government’s directive, signed by the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Ganiyu Hamzat, fuelled […]

NSC Intervenes in Super Eagles Allowance Protest in Morocco

The National Sports Commission (NSC) has intervened to resolve the Super Eagles' protest in Morocco over delayed camp allowances and bonuses ahead of their crucial 2026 World Cup playoff against Gabon in Rabat. Disturbing reports of a possible player boycott surfaced after the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) failed to settle outstanding payments, raising concerns about Nigeria's World Cup hopes. NSC Director General Bukola Olopade personally intervened, leading to players reconsidering a full protest. Players are demanding increased match bonuses—from $5,000 to $15,000—and fulfillment of federal promises after their AFCON 2025 silver medal. Allegations also surfaced about wider NFF financial mismanagement, prompting calls for a federal probe. Supporters and stakeholders expressed fears reminiscent of previous crises that derailed Nigeria's football campaigns, such as at France ‘98. Labour Party's Peter Obi also criticized authorities for neglecting the players' welfare, urging dignity and […]

 Oyo Road Protest Over Extension Leaves Motorists Stranded

Motorists were left stranded in Ibadan as thousands of residents affected by the Ibadan Circular Road Corridor project staged a peaceful protest against the proposed road extension. The demonstration began at the Ibadan-Ife road, causing a major traffic jam, with protesters later marching through Idi-Ape to the State Secretariat, Agodi. Protesters, carrying placards and banners, demanded that the Oyo State Government stick to the original 150-metre corridor marked by ex-Governor Rashidi Ladoja, rather than expanding it—fearing more houses and community land will be affected. They insisted the protest was non-partisan and not sponsored by politicians. Over 100 impacted communities, spanning seven local governments, participated in the protest. The demonstration led to the temporary shutdown of the state secretariat and disrupted businesses and commuters until order was restored.

FCT Doctors Threaten Strike Over Colleague’s Kidnapping

Members of the Nigerian Medical Association in the Federal Capital Territory have threatened to shut down all medical services and stage a protest if their colleague, Dr. Chinonye Nwachukwu, is not released from kidnappers’ custody. Dr. Nwachukwu, who recently returned from studying in Ukraine to work at Garki Hospital in Abuja, has been held by kidnappers for 16 days.

Tanzania protests erupt after disputed election as police clash with demonstrators in Dar es Salaam

Hundreds of demonstrators clashed with police in Tanzania’s commercial capital, Dar es Salaam, for a third consecutive day on Friday, demanding that the national electoral commission halt the release of election results after a chaotic and contested vote.
