 Guinea-Bissau stops vaccine study funded by Trump administration Guinea-Bissau's foreign minister has said his government has stopped a study funded by the Trump administration aiming to evaluate side effects of the life-saving hepatitis B vaccine, including any links to autism. The West African country, one of the region's poorest, has high rates of hepatitis B, and the prospective study had drawn an outcry from scientists and international health bodies because only half the newborns in the trial would get the vaccine at birth. World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus said it was not ethical. Guinea-Bissau last month suspended the trial pending an ethical review. Critics had said it was being used to test theories linking vaccines to autism, long promoted by U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr but contradicted by scientific evidence.

 Governor Soludo Has Used Ordinary Vigilantes To Destroy About 60 Criminal Camps In Anambra ------- Kenneth Okonkwo


Veteran actor and politician Kenneth Okonkwo has commended Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo for his efforts in tackling insecurity in the state through community-based security initiatives. 


Speaking during an interview on Symfoni TV, Okonkwo praised Soludo’s use of local vigilante groups as an example of effective grassroots security management.


Governor Soludo has used ordinary vigilantes to destroy about 60 criminal camps in Anambra," Okonkwo stated, describing the development as proof that locally driven security structures can succeed where national efforts have failed.


 He emphasized that state and community policing remain crucial for addressing Nigeria’s worsening insecurity.


Okonkwo criticized the federal government for what he called its “slow and reactive approach” to the security crisis, arguing that empowering state governors to handle their internal security would help reduce crime more effectively. He noted that the success in Anambra should serve as a model for other states to emulate.


He also used the opportunity to renew his call for the creation of state police, saying that governors across the country must be given the authority and resources to manage security within their territories. According to him, the continued over-centralization of policing powers in Abuja has made it difficult to respond swiftly to local threats.


Okonkwo added that Governor Soludo’s achievement reflects what can be done when leaders act with courage and vision. He urged the federal government to adopt policies that support similar initiatives across Nigeria, stressing that national security can only be achieved when local communities are empowered to defend themselves.
