 SHOW THE SAME MIGHT AT HOME, ADEYANJU URGES TINUBU TO USE BENIN COUP RESPONSE AGAINST TERRORISTS IN NIGERIA Human rights lawyer and social activist Deji Adeyanju is calling on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to bring home the same military force and urgency displayed in stopping the attempted coup in the Republic of Benin. In a statement on Monday, Adeyanju praised the swift and coordinated action of the Nigerian Armed Forces, noting that the use of Air Force fighter jets and ground troops proved Nigeria’s capacity to defend democracy beyond its borders. He described the intervention as bold and exemplary, adding that it sends a strong signal to anti-democratic forces across the Sahel.

 Plane crash in South Sudan kills 20 oil workers


A small aircraft carrying oil workers in South Sudan's Unity State crashed on takeoff from its oilfield airport on Wednesday, killing 20 people, the region's information minister said, Reuters reported.


The plane had departed for the capital Juba when it went down, Gatwech Bipal said. The passengers were oil workers of the Greater Pioneer Operating Company (GPOC), a consortium that includes China National Petroleum Corporation and state-owned Nile Petroleum Corporation, he said.


Among the dead were two Chinese nationals and one Indian, he added.


President Salva Kiir said engineers and technical staff were among the dead, and pledged a thorough and swift investigation to determine the cause of the crash.


Bipal gave no more details on the circumstances. Media reports had initially put the death toll at 18 but Bipal told Reuters two survivors had later died. One person survived.


Several air crashes have occurred in war-torn South Sudan in recent years. In September 2018, at least 19 people died when a small aircraft carrying passengers from Juba to the city of Yirol crashed.


In 2015, dozens of people were killed when a Russian-built cargo plane with passengers on board crashed after taking off from Juba airport.
