 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.

Man dies after self-immolation outside UN headquarters in New York with Tibetan flag present, officials say

   

A 52-year-old man died Thursday after setting himself on fire outside the United Nations headquarters in New York, according to police.

Authorities said the incident occurred around 6:30 p.m. when emergency responders were called to the area and found the man suffering from severe burn injuries. He was transported to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. His name has not been released pending notification of family members.

Police said an investigation is ongoing, and the circumstances leading up to the act remain unclear. Officials noted that a Tibetan flag was present at the scene, though they have not confirmed a motive.

A United Nations spokesperson said the incident took place after all scheduled meetings had concluded for the day and did not disrupt U.N. operations.

The case comes amid a long history of self-immolations linked to Tibet-related political grievances. Human rights groups have documented more than 150 such incidents between 2009 and 2022.
