    Tribunal Pushes for Anti-Corruption Court | Nigeria News

    A chilling child trafficking ring in Oyo State has been exposed after police uncovered a network stealing infants as young as two, holding pregnant women captive, and selling newborns—all allegedly for ritualistic purposes.

    Volcanic Ash Halts Indonesia’s Air Travel | Nigeria News

    Indonesia’s main airport, Soekarno-Hatta, delayed reopening again as volcanic ash from Mount Anak Krakatau blankets skies, grounding flights and stranding over 340,000 travelers. The eruption, which began September 5, has shut down eight airports and forced chaos for tourists like Michel Miegge and Carol Odile—plans canceled, timelines uncertain. This isn’t the first time Anak Krakatau wreaks havoc: its 1883 eruption was historic, and in 2018, a collapse triggered a deadly tsunami. Officials scramble to reroute flights, offer free buses, and ease visa rules for stranded visitors, while monitoring wind patterns and warning of incandescent rocks and heavy ashfall.

    Governor Seyi Makinde is launching a bold push to make Nigeria’s oil revenue work for its people, demanding full transparency from production to the pump and ending the absurdity of Nigerians paying global prices for fuel made right here at home.
