 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...

 Cameroon bans talks on 91-year-old President Biya’s health


Cameroon has placed a ban on any discussion about the health of 91-year-old President Paul Biya.


A letter shared by the interior ministry disclosed this on Thursday, October 10, 2024, after Biya’s prolonged absence fuelled widespread speculation he was unwell.


Earlier this week, the authorities put out statements saying the president was on a private visit to Geneva and in good health, dismissing reports he had fallen ill as “pure fantasy”.


In the letter to regional governors dated October 9, Interior Minister Paul Atanga Nji said discussing the president’s health was a matter of national security.


From now on, “any debate in the media about the president’s condition is therefore strictly prohibited. Offenders will face the full force of the law”, Nji said.


He ordered the governors to set up units to monitor broadcasts on private media channels, as well as social networks.


Cocoa and oil-producing Cameroon, which has had just two presidents since independence from France and Britain in the early 1960s, is likely to face a messy succession crisis if Biya becomes too ill to remain in office or dies.


Cameroon’s media regulator, the National Communication Council, could not immediately be reached for comment.


The move faced criticism as an act of state censorship.


“The president is elected by Cameroonians and it’s just normal that they worry about his whereabouts,” said Hycenth Chia, a Yaounde-based journalist and talk show host on privately owned television Canal2 International.


“We see liberal discussions on the health of Joe Biden and other world leaders, but here it is a taboo,” he told Reuters.


Press freedom advocacy group Committee to Protect Journalists said it was gravely concerned.


“Trying to hide behind national security on such a major issue of national importance is outrageous,” said Angela Quintal, head of the CPJ’s Africa Program.


Biya has not been seen in public since attending a China-Africa forum in Beijing in early September. His failure to appear as scheduled at a summit in France last weekend further stoked public discussion about his health.


Biya has served as the second president of Cameroon since November 6, 1982, having previously been the prime minister of Cameroon from 1975 to 1982.

  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...
