Yemen fighting pushes nearly 3,000 to Djibouti in less than a week: UN    Nearly 3,000 people have fled Yemen for Djibouti in less than a week as escalating violence drives growing displacement within the country and across its borders, the UN refugee agency said Friday. “Refugees continue to arrive by boat through Obock, Khor Angar, Moulhoule and Godoria after difficult journeys in small vessels,” UNHCR representative in Djibouti Sandrine Desamours told reporters in Geneva, Anadolu Agency reported. More than half of those crossing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait are women and children, while some families have been displaced for a second time after previously fleeing Yemen during the 2015 crisis and later returning.

Reps seat: Appeal Court sacks LP’s Nwodo

The Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos, on Monday, nullified the election of Stainless Nwodo, a member representing Igbo-Etiti/Uzo-Uwani federal constituency of Enugu State in the House of Representatives.
The appellate court declared that Rt. Hon. Martins Oke of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, won the February election.

The National Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal, sitting in Enugu had, on September 8, upheld the election of the LP candidate.
The candidate of the PDP, Oke, and his All Progressives Congress, APC, counterpart, Samuel Ekwueme, had challenged Nwodo’s victory at the tribunal.
The duo asked the tribunal to sack the LP candidate over alleged certificate forgery and irregularities during the election. But the court struck out their petitions.
The PDP and APC candidate, however, dragged Nwodo to the appeal court, insisting that he was not qualified to run for the election.
In a judgement delivered via Zoom on Monday, the appellate court said that the Labour Party candidate wasn’t qualified to stand for the election and that the appeal had merits.
The panel said they will give details of the ruling on a later date.
