 Lagos Demolition Victim Begs Govt: “We’re Not Animals” A 63-year-old victim of the Oworonshoki demolition has appealed to the Lagos State Government for urgent help, saying many displaced residents are stranded without shelter. Speaking on Channels TV’s Morning Brief, she said residents received no notice before the demolition and that the N200,000–N300,000 given to some indigenes was insufficient to secure new housing. “We are not goats; we are not animals. Please help us,” she said, noting that many now sleep in water tanks and on the streets, including elderly and sick residents.

 Access to X blocked in Tanzania - monitor


Access to social media platform X in Tanzania has been blocked on major internet providers, the internet monitoring group NetBlocks reported.


It comes a day after social media accounts of major government institutions were targeted and breached, raising fears of a coordinated cyberattack on government institutions.


Earlier on Tuesday, Tanzania's police X account was hacked and used to publish hoax about the death of President Samia Suluhu Hassan. Police said the “false and misleading post”, which was pulled down, was published on their account by an external party, TRT Afrika reported.


Tanzania's Minister of Information, Communications and Technology Jerry William Silaa confirmed the hack in parliament, adding that the YouTube account of the country's tax authority was also infiltrated.


Public warned


"The reason these accounts were compromised is that their security protocols were not sufficiently robust. These accounts have since been restored," Silaa said.


Police said they were hunting "the criminals who created and distributed the information" and warned the public against sharing the false messages.


The restricted access to X comes amid an increasingly tense political atmosphere in the East African country, which is due to hold elections later this year.


Lissu’s trial


Leading Kenyan and Ugandan activists were deported from the country on Tuesday after trying to attend opposition leader Tundu Lissu's treason trial, a rights group said.


Lissu's Chadema party has been banned from taking part in elections due in October after insisting on reforms.


Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan said Monday that foreign activists would not be allowed to interfere in the country's affairs and urged security organs "not to allow ill-mannered individuals from other countries to cross the line here".
