 Germany and Austria to tap oil reserves after 400 million barrels requested  Germany and Austria announced they are releasing portions of their oil reserves in response to an International Energy Agency request for member nations to collectively release 400 million barrels to help ease rising energy prices linked to the Iran conflict. Japan also said it will begin releasing part of its reserves starting Monday. The move marks one of the largest coordinated releases of emergency oil stocks in history. The previous record came in 2022, when IEA members released 182.7 million barrels following the energy disruptions caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

 Kaduna Government Ban Unverified’ Protests After Violent Demonstrations

 

The Kaduna State Government has warned that it would no longer tolerate any protest not cleared by security agencies.


The government also said that criminals masquerading themselves take advantage of protests to loot and vandalize public and private property and unleash terror on innocent citizens as witnessed on August 1st and 5th, 2024 in Kaduna and Zaria metropolitan cities.


This was contained in a statement issued on Saturday by the Kaduna State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan.


He said the ugly events of 1st and 5th August  are clear indicators that criminals are pursuing an agenda to plunge the state into chaos, and are ready to camouflage these designs with otherwise genuine protests.


“The consequences of these plans, if allowed to flourish, are better imagined. The Kaduna State Government and security forces will not stand by and allow an anti-state agenda to run unchecked,” the statement read.


“It bears reiterating that criminals masquerading as protesters will not be permitted to wreak havoc.


Aruwan stated that while the state government recognises the fundamental rights of citizens to freedom of expression, lawful assembly and other constitutional rights enshrined in the 1999 Constitution as amended, that processions not verified remain prohibited in light of public security considerations.


He revealed that available intelligence from the reviewed period also shows the criminal elements are recruiting children and impressionable individuals into their dark schemes.


“Furthermore, the Kaduna State Security Council under the leadership of Governor Uba Sani, has reviewed the present security situation arising from the existing 6 pm to 8 am curfew, and other issues on public safety, and therefore, warns that criminal elements disguising as protesters, with the intent to generate unrest in the state, will not be spared.


“Finally, citizens are enjoined to continue to observe the 6pm to 8am curfew and report any incendiary activity to the Security Operations Room on: 0903 400 0060, 0817 018 9999,” Aruwan said.
