 Burkina Faso suspends Voice of America for insurgency report Burkina Faso's junta has suspended US-funded broadcaster Voice of America for three months over comments about a militant insurgency in West Africa's Sahel region, and temporarily banned local news outlets from using any international media reports, authorities. The superior council for communication (CSC) accused Voice of America (VOA) of demoralising troops in Burkina Faso and neighbouring Mali in a discussion on September 19 that was also broadcast by a private local radio station. It said the reporter described an attack on Bamako last month as "courageous", criticised security operations and provided an unfounded death toll for an attack on a Burkina Faso town that killed hundreds in August, according to Reuters. Last month, the CSC withdrew the radio frequencies of France's popular RFI radio, which regularly reports on the Sahel. It did not provide an explanation for its removal.

 Many feared dead in Lagos boats accident 


No fewer than twenty people have reported lost their lives after two passenger boats capsized in Lagos on Monday night.


The boats said to be conveying 16 passengers each, caved in after a collusion which occurred around 7pm, at Imore lagoon.


It was however unclear where the boats loaded and where they were headed at the time of the accident.


Police spokesman, SP Benjamin Hundeyin who confirmed the incident, said 11 of the passengers were rescued.


He said the boats were unregistered, adding that a report about the accident was made at the Ilashe Police Division.


Hundeyin said all 32 passengers and their goods drowned when the boats capsized, adding that it took the intervention of the police, local divers and other emergency responders to rescue the 11.


He said those rescued had injuries and were rushed to the Naval Town Hospital in Ojo for medical attention, adding that search and rescue operations were ongoing for the remaining victims.


Efforts to get comments from the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) were unsuccessful as calls to the Permanent Secretary, Dr. Femi Osayintolu were unanswered.
