The Department of State Services (DSS) has requested X (formerly Twitter) to deactivate the account of activist and politician, Omoyele Sowore, claiming one of his tweets is a threat to national security.

The DSS stated that Sowore's post, which calls President Bola Ahmed Tinubu a criminal, violates several Nigerian laws.

In defiance, Sowore has refused to delete the tweet, describing the DSS letter as an "assault on institutions."

In Enugu State, the government is accusing Sujimoto Luxury Construction CEO Ola Sijibomi Ogundele of defrauding the state of ₦5.7 billion.

The funds were reportedly for the construction of 22 schools that were left largely incomplete. Sujimoto has denied the allegations, citing inflation and foreign exchange volatility as reasons for the delays. He claims to have received only ₦5.2 billion and has provided photos of the work in progress.

In South Africa, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has raised concerns about anti-migrant groups blocking non-South Africans from accessing healthcare.

A viral video shows a Nigerian man standing up for himself after being denied treatment, highlighting the issue of xenophobia.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio was captured in a video showing off his dance moves during the commissioning of a constituency project in Akwa Ibom State. He performed the “Ekpo Annang” dance, connecting with his constituents.

Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has fulfilled his promise to Oluwat-tosin Adejumo, a puff-puff seller he met at a rally.

Adejumo, who is a trained chef, was presented with an official appointment letter to work at the Government House and a scholarship. The governor also gifted her parents ₦2 million each.
