 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.

 PRESS RELEASE


NIGERIA POLICE ORDERS INVESTIGATION INTO VIRAL STOP-AND-SEARCH INCIDENT ON LAGOS-BENIN EXPRESSWAY 


The Nigeria Police Force has begun disciplinary proceedings after a video went viral showing officers attached to a stop-and-search team on the Lagos-Benin Expressway allegedly acting unprofessionally and making derogatory ethnic remarks toward a member of the public.


The officers involved, comprising one Assistant Superintendent of Police and three Inspectors, have been identified and are currently in custody pending an orderly room trial.


The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, psc(+), NPM, has directed the Commissioner of Police, Ondo State Command, to conduct a full and transparent investigation to determine each officer’s level of involvement and ensure appropriate sanctions are applied.


The conduct shown in the video does not reflect the values of the Nigeria Police Force. Ethnic profiling and disrespect toward any citizen will not be tolerated, and officers who fall short of the Force’s standards of professionalism and respect will be held accountable.


The Nigeria Police Force remains committed to fair, ethical policing and to earning the trust of the communities it serves.
