 Kenyan university scraps forest deal with Israel over Gaza A Kenyan university has cancelled a deal with the Israeli government to establish a so-called Zion Forest at its premises following public outcry over the war in Gaza, TRT Afrika reported. Daystar University, located in the capital Nairobi, earlier this week signed the deal with the Israeli embassy for the planting of over 5,000 trees on the campus. But it drew condemnation from Kenyans expressing solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza, where more than 45,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel in the war on the territory since October 2023.

DSS ARRESTS FAKE NGO LEADER IN ABUJA. (PHOTO)


 Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) on Thursday apprehended Kennedy Tabukoi in Abuja for allegedly leading an unregistered NGO, the Niger Delta Development Initiative (NDDI), in a scheme to blackmail government officials.


According to security sources, Tabukoi targeted officials with demands for money or contracts, threatening to organise protests against them if they failed to comply. One such protest took place on Thursday morning at the National Assembly gate, where Tabukoi led a demonstration accusing lawmakers of stalling a probe into the petroleum sector.


“Tabukoi had been boasting to his associates about using his alleged Niger-Delta activism to intimidate officials into doing his bidding,” a security source revealed.


“Ironically, those he sought to exploit were the ones who tipped us off, confirming he was running a sham NGO for personal gain.”


Investigations revealed that Tabukoi had no legally registered NGO and was using intimidation tactics to solicit funds and contracts.


During questioning by DSS operatives, he admitted to the allegations, explaining that he intended to register an NGO to emulate others who had profited from similar schemes.


The DSS has emphasized its commitment to curbing acts of blackmail and impersonation, warning against the misuse of activism for personal enrichment.


Further investigations into Tabukoi’s activities are continuing.
