 Niger says military activity in capital brought under control Niger's defense minister said Saturday that military activity in the capital, Niamey, had been brought under control and security forces had regained control of critical sites that were targeted. Gen. Salifou Mody's remarks were broadcast on national television after heavy gunfire and explosions were reported around Diori Hamani International Airport and the presidential palace in Niamey. Mody said a group of soldiers had "broken away from military order" and attempted to detain some of their fellow soldiers at the Base 101 military facility in Niamey before opening fire on several critical sites in the capital. He said the activity was brought under control thanks to the swift intervention of Nigerien defense and security forces, adding that control was gradually restored in the targeted areas. Mody urged residents of Niamey to remain calm and continue their daily activities as usual.

 Governor Soludo condemns Obiano death rumor as wicked, irresponsible


Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, has confirmed that his predecessor, Willie Obiano is alive and well. This is contrary to what the governor described as “malicious rumours and utterly false reports” circulating on social media and certain online platforms claiming that Obiano passed away in a London hospital on Friday.


In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, Governor Soludo categorically confirmed that he has spoken to Obiano and he is alive and well. The Governor views with grave concern the reckless dissemination of such malicious rumours as wicked and irresponsible. He strongly enjoined all media practitioners, especially online publishers, to uphold the ethics of journalism by verifying information through official channels before publication.


“The spread of unverified death rumour is not only wicked and irresponsible but also erodes public trust. “Therefore, the Government urges the general public to disregard the trending rumours, rest assured that the former governor is alive, hale and hearty,” the statement read in part.


Governor Soludo wished Obiano continued strength, peace, and a long, healthy life of fulfillment in his abode.
