 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.

 FG ARRAIGNS 400 TERRORISM SUSPECTS


The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Olasunkanmi Fagbemi (SAN), has arraigned for prosecution over 400 terrorism suspects. 


Judiciary Correspondent Austin Anyebe reports that the trials are taking place in different courts at the Federal High Court complex in Abuja.


 A team led by the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Lateef Fagbemi SAN supported by the Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation, Rotimi Oyedepo (SAN), is prosecuting the suspects.


Similar mass trial took place in April 2026.

In that trial out of 508 defendants, the AGF's office secured 386 convictions, with 8 discharges and 2 acquittals. 

Many of the convicts received prison sentences of up to 20 years.


 The defendants are facing charges linked to terrorism, aiding and abetting insurgent activities, and financing.


The Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho has assembled a special panel of judges to preside over the cases.


The AGF represents the Federal Government while Defense for indigent suspects is being provided by the Legal Aid Council of Nigeria.


These mass trials mark a push by the government to expedite delayed terrorism cases, with proceedings now taking place in Abuja rather than the military facility in Kainji, Niger State.
