 APPEAL COURT ORDERS FORMER EDO DEPUTY GOVERNOR GODWIN OMOBAYO TO FACE CONTEMPT CHARGES  The Court of Appeal Abuja Division, has ordered a former deputy governor of Edo State, Godwins Omobayo, to face the contempt proceedings filed against him for not obeying a valid order of the Federal High Court, Abuja. Another former deputy governor of the state, Philip Shaibu and the state assembly after  obtaining a Federal High Court judgement to have Omobayo removed, had initiated the contempt proceedings for Omobayo's refusal to vacate office. The three man panel of the appellate court, led by Justice Okon Abang ruled that Omobayo was wrong to have remained in office, after the trial court removed him.  The court dismissed Omobayo's appeal, and directed him to prepare for his contempt suit.

 Chad plans to send 800 security personnel to Haiti, official says


Chad intends to deploy 800 police officers and gendarmes to Haiti this year to participate in an international force ​to help Haiti's police fight powerful armed gangs, a ‌senior Chadian police official told Reuters.


The Chadian forces are expected to arrive by June after receiving training from "European and American partners", said the official, who ​requested anonymity because he was not authorised to speak ​to the media.


Dominican Republic Foreign Minister Roberto Alvarez said this week ⁠that the U.N.-backed Gang Suppression Force would reach its full ​capacity of 5,500 by October and that Kenyan police who deployed ​to Haiti under an earlier model of the force should withdraw gradually.


Alvarez, who spoke after a meeting with U.S. officials, said the forces from Chad ​were being trained in the U.S., though a State Department spokesperson ​denied that.


"We thank the Government of Chad for their pledged contribution to the ‌Gang ⁠Suppression Force... Chadian troops are not training in the United States," the spokesperson said.


The Gang Suppression Force was introduced as a larger successor to the Kenyan-led Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission, but no significant deployments have arrived since its ⁠approval last September.


The force is currently made up of mostly Kenyan police, as well as smaller numbers from a handful of countries in Central America and ⁠the Caribbean.


Chad told the United Nations in October 2023 that it was willing to contribute troops and police to the MSS, without specifying ⁠numbers ​or a timeline.


At the time, the U.N. ​also received similar pledges from Benin and Bangladesh.


None have so far deployed.
