  Following the overthrow of Niger's democratically elected president by a coup, France and the EU have stopped providing financial assistance to the West African nation. The former colonial power of Niger, France, added to the growing international pressure on the coup plotters by calling for the "immediate return to the Nigerien constitutional order" in a statement. The action was taken soon after the European Union said earlier on Saturday that it would no longer be providing financial assistance and cease any security cooperation with Niger. One of the poorest nations in the world, Niger gets aid worth hundreds of millions of dollars annually. After President Mohamed Bazoum was imprisoned earlier this week, Abdourahamane Tiani, a general who oversees the nation's presidential guard, was sworn in as the new president. According to Josep Borell, head of foreign affairs for the EU, "this unacceptable attack on the integrity of Niger's republican institutions...

Chidozie Nwangwu, also known as "Akwa Okuko Tiwaraki," a well-known local doctor from Anambra, has said that he had the power to stop his kidnapping but chose not to. After being taken last Sunday, Nwangwu was freed early on Saturday. Nwangwu spoke about his experience and said that after his two bodyguards were slain, he willingly turned himself into his captors to stop the further killing. "What truly occurred," he said, "was that I was there (at home) that day at around 11:30 am when someone phoned and said they were at my hotel, they were spending money, had spent close to N300,000, and they would have liked me to be there. "I complied with them and drove my brand-new automobile by myself to the motel. No one accompanied me. As soon as 30 minutes after I arrived, I heard gunfire. People began scurrying around wildly. When I walked outside to investigate, the shooters immediately began firing at me. "Two of my security guards were slain. I don'...

Following this week's military coup, the African Union has asked for the coup's military commanders to return to their barracks. In response, the European Union has announced that it is suspending financial assistance and security cooperation with Niger. After his troops detained President Mohamed Bazoum on Wednesday, General Abdourahamane Tchiani, the chief of Niger's presidential guard, proclaimed himself the leader of a transitional government on Friday. Josep Borrell, the head of the EU's foreign policy, said in a statement on Saturday that "all cooperation actions in the domain of security are suspended indefinitely with immediate effect, in addition to the immediate cessation of budget support." The EU has set out 503 million euros ($554 million) from its budget, according to its website, to enhance Niger's governance, education, and sustainable development between 2021 and 2024. The coup organisers should be held accountable for ensuring the safety ...

  The Federal Capital Territory Administration's (FCTA) bulldozers have threatened to demolish Trademore Estate in Lugbe, Abuja. Yes, the inhabitants of the estate were startled when a one-hour strong rain caused the region to flood severely a little over a week ago. Numerous automobiles were taken away. Many of the homes collapsed while others were flooded up to their roof levels. The authorities have not yet revealed the number of human casualties. Multiple people tend to die as a result of this tragedy every year. The most recent piece I wrote on this was in 2020. According to experts, a large portion of the estate sits inside a natural floodplain. However, the fact that most of the stormwater originated from somewhere else has raised controversy over the destruction caused by the flood on the estate and its neighbouring surroundings. The region where the estate was constructed is the target of several drainage systems from local and distant villages, which is what caused the fl...
