 Kenya hikes fuel prices by 6% following lingering Middle East tensions Kenya raised the maximum retail prices of petrol and diesel on Wednesday, the energy regulator said, citing higher import costs linked to the conflict in the Middle East. The east African nation hiked petrol prices by 6% and diesel prices by 4.5% as it relies on the Middle East region for nearly all of its fuel supplies. A litre of diesel will cost 227.76 Kenyan shillings ($1.76) in the capital city of Nairobi, from 217.86 shillings, while kerosene will rise to 219.87 shillings from 191.38 shillings between October 15 and November 14, when new prices will be announced, TRT Afrika reported. The energy regulator said the government extended a reduction in value-added tax on fuel to 8% from 16% until January 14. Fuel prices affect multiple sectors including transport, agriculture and construction.

 ANAMBRA POLICE ARRAIGNS TWO SUSPECTS OVER THE MURDER OF THEIR EMPLOYER IN ONITSHA: RECOVERS STOLEN FUNDS WHILE SUSPECTS WERE REMANDED IN A CORRECTIONAL FACILITY


Operatives of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) of the Anambra State Police Command, on 18th March 2026, successfully arraigned two suspects in connection with the murder of one Ikechukwu Simon Nwite and the subsequent theft of his funds.


The prime suspect, Chiemerie Anieke ‘M’, aged 21, allegedly used a pestle to strike his employer, Mr. Ikechukwu Nwite, on the head, resulting in his death. The suspect was also linked to an attack on one Ogechukwu Nwite at Fegge, Onitsha.


He was arraigned before the High Court, Onitsha, alongside one Godwin Nnabuike Nwokporo ‘M’, aged 21 years, who allegedly aided the commission of the crime by providing a bank account through which over Eight Million Naira (#8,000,000) belonging to the deceased was fraudulently transferred.


The Operatives of the Command recovered the sum of Six Million Naira (#6,000,000) from the suspects, being part of the stolen funds, which has been tendered as exhibit in the ongoing court proceedings.


The suspects have since been remanded at the Correctional Centre pending further proceedings in the matter.


The Anambra State Police Command reiterates its commitment to ensuring that justice is served and warns individuals against engaging in criminal activities, as the long arm of the law will always catch up with offenders.
