 Over 25 million phones stolen in one year – FG The Crime Experience and Security Perception Survey report of the National Bureau of Statistics, a Federal Government agency, shows that Nigeria recorded 25.35 million phone theft cases between May 2023 and April 2024. According to the report, this was the most common type of crime within the period under review. The report read, “The number of crimes experienced by individuals in Nigeria was analysed over a period of time. The results show that theft of phones (25,354,417) was the most common crime experienced by individuals, followed by consumer fraud (12,107,210) and assault (8,453,258). However, hijacking of cars (333,349) was the least crime experienced by individuals within the reference period.” It also noted that most phone theft cases occurred either at home or in a public place, and about 90 per cent of such cases were reported to the police. Despite the high rate of the incident being reported, only about 11.7 per cent of t...

BOTSWANA PRESIDENT DECRIES ELEPHANT 'OVERPOPULATION.(PHOTO).

-


 The president of Botswana has threatened to send 20,000 elephants to Germany in a dispute over the import of hunting trophies.


Germans should "live together with the animals, in the way you are trying to tell us to", Mokgweetsi Masisi told German daily Bild on Tuesday.


"This is not a joke," said Masisi, whose country has seen its elephant population grow to some 130,000.


Botswana has already offered 8,000 elephants to Angola and another 500 to Mozambique, as it seeks to tackle what Masisi described as "overpopulation".

Conservation efforts


"We would like to offer such a gift to Germany," Masisi said, adding that he would "not take no for an answer."


The African leader argued that conservation efforts have led to an explosion in the number of elephants and that hunting is an important means to keep them in check.


The herds of elephants were causing damage to property, eating crops and trampling residents, he told the German paper.


Germany's environment ministry earlier this year raised the possibility of stricter limits on the import of hunting trophies over poaching concerns.

Hunting quotas


But a ban on the import of hunting trophies would only impoverish Botswanans, Masisi said.


Botswana banned trophy hunting in 2014 but lifted the restrictions in 2019 under pressure from local communities.


The country now issues annual hunting quotas.


A spokesperson for the environment ministry in Berlin said Botswana had not raised any concerns with Germany on the matter.


Loss of biodiversity


The ministry however remained in talks with African countries affected by import rules, including Botswana, the spokesperson said.


"In light of the alarming loss of biological diversity, we have a special responsibility to do everything to ensure the import of hunting trophies is sustainable and legal," she said.

Germany was one of the largest importers of hunting trophies in the European Union, she said.


African elephant hunting trophies already require import authorisation under current rules, she added.


Discussions within the EU on harsher import restrictions are focused on extending the list of protected species, she said.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
