 AAC SEEK FURTHER INVESTIGATION INTO ON SOWORE IN EKITI The African Action Congress, AAC, has called for further investigation into the reported attack on Omoyele Sowore and other party members in Ekiti State, despite the arrest of eleven suspects. In a statement by its national publicity secretary, Rex Elanu, the AAC says new video footage has emerged which it believes could help identify more persons involved in the incident. The party has expressed concern over the handling of CCTV recordings from the restaurant where the incident occurred, and alleges that some stolen phones were traced to the governor's lodge in Ekiti State. It is seeking an independent investigation into these claims, the handling of recovered items and the circumstances surrounding the incident. The AAC has also called for the arrest and prosecution of any other persons found to have been involved, and demanded an investigation into the conduct of any security officers who may have acted unprofessionally.

UAE completes nearly half of second oil pipeline, bypassing Strait of Hormuz amid energy security push

The United Arab Emirates has completed nearly half of a second major oil pipeline designed to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, a key global shipping chokepoint, according to the head of Abu Dhabi National Oil Co.

The pipeline project is intended to increase export capacity through the port of Fujairah on the Gulf of Oman, which lies beyond the Strait of Hormuz. Officials said the new route would effectively double existing capacity and is expected to be fully operational in 2027. The project has been accelerated amid the ongoing regional conflict.

Company leadership said global energy flows remain overly dependent on a limited number of maritime chokepoints, making alternative export routes increasingly important for supply security.

The UAE has already been diverting some crude exports through an existing pipeline to Fujairah, which can handle up to 1.8 million barrels per day. The new pipeline is designed to expand that capacity significantly once completed.

Officials said disruptions in the region have already had a major impact on global energy markets, with large volumes of oil shipments affected and recovery expected to take considerable time even if conditions stabilize. They warned that full normalization of oil flows could take until 2027.

The project comes after the Strait of Hormuz was blocked amid escalating military conflict in the region, which followed strikes involving the United States and Israel. The situation has led to widespread concern over the security of global energy supplies.

Energy officials described the blockade as a major disruption to global oil markets, arguing that reliance on a single strategic waterway creates vulnerability for international energy trade.

U.S. energy officials have said that while the importance of the Strait of Hormuz may decline over time as alternative routes are developed, the region will continue to play a critical role in global energy production and exports.
