Yemen fighting pushes nearly 3,000 to Djibouti in less than a week: UN    Nearly 3,000 people have fled Yemen for Djibouti in less than a week as escalating violence drives growing displacement within the country and across its borders, the UN refugee agency said Friday. “Refugees continue to arrive by boat through Obock, Khor Angar, Moulhoule and Godoria after difficult journeys in small vessels,” UNHCR representative in Djibouti Sandrine Desamours told reporters in Geneva, Anadolu Agency reported. More than half of those crossing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait are women and children, while some families have been displaced for a second time after previously fleeing Yemen during the 2015 crisis and later returning. UNHCR is preparing for at least 10,000 new arrivals but warned that capacity is rapidly diminishing.

 Rivers Emergency: I Was Not Among 42 Senators Who Collected $10,000 From Akpabio – Umeh


Senator Victor Umeh, representing Anambra Central Senatorial District, has denied allegations that he received dollars to support the State of Emergency declared by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Rivers State.


Senator Umeh in a statement warned against serial blackmail noting he was not among the 42 senators who collected $10,000 the previous day before the senators passed the state of emergency resolution.


He emphasized that he did not receive any money to support the Approval of the State of Emergency in Rivers State and was not present at the alleged Meeting on Wednesday where $10,000 was allegedly made to 42 Senators, let alone one of the Key Figures that organized the Event.


“I did not receive any money to support the Approval of the State of Emergency in Rivers State. I was not at any meeting where such payments were allegedly made,” Umeh stated.


Umeh explained that on the evening of Tuesday, he attended the traditional IFTAR (Breaking of Fasting) gathering at the Senate Guest House with their Muslim brothers and Sister, where he was asked to say the Christian Prayers after Senator Adamu Aliero said the Muslim Prayers after the IFTAR.


”I prayed for God to grant Peace to all parts of Nigeria and Reconciliation to all the warring parties in Rivers State.


“I prayed for love and for all Nigerians to embrace one another, for the good of our nation.”


“There were other Labour Party Senators at the IFTAR.”


The senator described the story against him as blackmail, stressing that it did not represent the truth.


He assured his constituents that such reports would not distract him from providing good Representation, adding that the aim of the detractors was to create disaffection between him and the people and impugn his reputation.


He vowed that “I will not be distracted by their false reports, and I will continue to serve my constituents with dignity and integrity.”


Recall there were reports that senators collected bribes amounting to $10,000 to approve the president’s decision to suspend the governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara.


It was also alleged that Senator Umeh was among the senators disbursing the money to other senators at the private lodge of the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, in Abuja.
