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.

 Senate Confirms Oyewole As Supreme Court Justice 


The Senate has confirmed Hon. Justice Joseph Olubunmi Kayode Oyewole, JCA, as a Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.


The confirmation on Tuesday was a sequel to the presentation and consideration of the report of the Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights & Legal Matters by the Chairman of the Committee, Senator Adeniyi Adegbonmire, APC, Ondo Central.


In his presentation, Senator Adegbonmire said, “That the Senate do Receive and Consider the Report of the Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights & Legal Matters on the confirmation of the nomination of Hon. Justice Joseph Olubunmi Kayode Oyewole, JCA, as a Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.”


Recall that President Bola Tinubu had last week Tuesday written the Senate, seeking for the confirmation of Justice Oyewole as Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, read Tinubu’s letter.


The letter read, “Pursuant to Section 231 (2) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended… “I am pleased to present for confirmation by the Senate the appointment of Hon. Justice Oyewole Kayode as Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.


“While it is my hope that the Senate will consider and confirm the nomination expeditiously, please accept the assurances of my highest regards.”


Akpabio thereafter referred the Executive Communication to the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters for further legislative action and report back as soon as possible.
