On Friday, the NLC declared a two-day nationwide mass protest for February 27 and 28, 2024, over the economic hardship assailing Nigerians. In a statement on Wednesday, Peter Afunanya, DSS director of communications, said although the service recognises the NLC’s right to protest, the congress should shelve the planned demonstration in the interest of peace and public order. Afunanya said the DSS is aware that some elements are planning to use the protest to “foment crisis and by extension, widespread violence”. He added that this would worsen the socio-economic situation across the country. “The DSS further calls on parties to pursue dialogue and negotiation rather than engaging in conducts that could heighten tensions,” the statement reads. “It is common knowledge that all levels

 ‘Businesses are dying’ — Peter Obi asks FG to stop customs FX rate increases Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, has asked the federal government to end the inconsistency in customs duty charges, saying it is affecting businesses in the country.

In February alone, the agency has increased the rate six times, reflecting the volatility in the broader FX market. Obi, in a statement posted X on Wednesday, asked the government to stop the arbitrary and ever-increasing customs duties. The politician said the situation is now negatively impacting businesses and the cost of items, warning that it “portends a huge danger to the economy”.

 U.S. vetoes UN resolution calling for ceasefire in Gaza A draft resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip failed in the UN Security Council on Tuesday after the U.S. again vetoed the text tabled by Council member Algeria. Given concerns about a possible major Israeli offensive on the crowded city of Rafah in southern Gaza, the proposal was widely supported by 13 of the 15 council members. Britain abstained. Following the vote, Israel again strongly rejected calls for a truce. This “absurd notion of a ceasefire” was constantly being thrown around within the Security Council and the UN General Assembly as if it was “a silver bullet, a magical solution to all of the region’s problems,” Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, told the most powerful UN body. “A ceasefire today means immunity for baby killers and rapists. It’s an easy way to make this problem an issue for another day,” he said. “Hamas is not going to even read your resolutions.” Israeli

Being turned away for lack of a police report is the harsh reality for countless gunshot victims. It is not uncommon for medical facilities to refuse treatment to gunshot patients without a police report, leaving many to bleed to death or succumb to their injuries while waiting for the required clearance.
