 Tanzania opposition leader Mbowe released on bail Tanzania's main opposition leader Freeman Mbowe has been released on bail, his party said Saturday, after he was detained just days before local polls, AFP reported. The elections are viewed as a barometer for President Samia Suluhu Hassan, who took over in 2021 with promises of reforms and improved civic freedoms - only to disappoint international observers, who point to a return to her predecessor's repressive policies.

 OGSG Disowns Invitations on Screening of Next-of-Kin of Deceased Pensioners


The Ogun State government has described as false and misleading a notice attributed to the Bureau of State Pension inviting the next-of-kin of deceased pensioners to undergo a screening process.


A statement by the Permanent Secretary in the Bureau, Mrs. Arinola Adetayo, stated that the notice, purportedly issued by an unnamed individual, was not authorized by the government.


Mrs. Adetayo noted that the state government had established a clear official procedure for processing pension claims and disbursing benefits to the next-of-kin of deceased pensioners, adding that the process did not require any forms of screening by unknown individuals or third parties.


“The notice circulating on social media does not originate from any government office, department, or Bureau of State Pensions personnel. The Bureau is not in any way associated with, nor endorses the request made in the notices.


“Any request for screening of next-of-kin by individuals or entities not officially recognized by the state government is fraudulent and should be disregarded.


“We strongly advise that no personal information or documents should be shared in response to any unauthorized invitations or requests,” she said.


She advised that anyone who had received the notice should contact the Bureau Office at Block A, Ogun State Government Secretariat, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.
