 STATEHOUSE PRESS STATEMENT PRESIDENT TINUBU'S MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCE TO CHIMAMANDA ADICHIE AND HER FAMILY   With a deep sense of grief, I condole with Ms Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, her husband, Dr Ivara Esege, and the entire family on the passing of their son, Nkanu Nnamdi.   As a parent myself who has suffered the loss of a loved one, no grief is as devastating as losing a child.   I empathise with the family at this difficult time, and I mourn this sad loss with them.   Ms Adichie is a literary icon who has brought joy and light to many homes globally, and I pray she and her family find strength in the Almighty in this trying hour.   My prayers are with the family.   Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Federal Republic of Nigeria January 8, 2026

TURKEY EVACUATES THOUSANDS AS FIREFIGHTERS COMBAT WILDFIRES. (PHOTO).



Turkey evacuates thousands as firefighters combat wildfires

Firefighters continued to battle wildfires across Turkey on Sunday amid an intense Mediterranean heat wave, prompting authorities to evacuate more than 3,600 residents from affected areas in multiple provinces. The southern provinces of Mersin and Antalya, along with the central province of Usak, saw their fires largely brought under control, but significant blazes persisted in the northwestern province of Bursa and the northern province of Karabuk, Agriculture and Forestry Minister Ibrahim Yumakli reported.


In Bursa, a wildfire erupted Saturday in a forested area between the Gursu and Kestel districts, a region known for its concentration of Turkey’s auto industry. The fire briefly forced the closure of a highway linking Istanbul and Izmir. Intense flames threatened residential areas as thick smoke blanketed the city. Authorities evacuated 1,765 people from Kestel, while roughly 2,000 firefighters worked to contain the blaze using six firefighting planes and four helicopters. Meanwhile, in Karabuk, a large wildfire had been burning for five days, leading to the evacuation of 1,839 residents from 19 villages. Fire crews deployed three planes and 16 helicopters to combat the flames under challenging conditions. Minister Yumakli warned that the extreme heat and dry weather—temperatures expected to surpass 40 degrees Celsius, well above seasonal averages—make the situation precarious and unlikely to improve soon. Notably, southeastern Turkey recorded temperatures reaching 50 degrees Celsius on Saturday, marking a historic high.
