 Flights suspended to Ethiopian holy town of Lalibela as fighting expands Flights to the historic Ethiopian town of Lalibela ​were suspended on Thursday due to fighting nearby, seven sources said, as residents in the Tigray region to the north stocked up on food and ‌cash, fearing that renewed fighting could trigger another major war. Tigrayan forces seized three local airports and launched attacks in Afar and Amhara regions with allies there this week, in the most serious escalation since a devastating 2020-22 war against Ethiopian government troops.

 NPF REITERATES BAN ON AMOTEKUN, OTHER NON-STATE ACTORS IN ELECTION SECURITY; ANNOUNCES MOVEMENT RESTRICTION AHEAD OF OSUN POLL


Ahead of the forthcoming Osun State Governorship Election, the Nigeria Police Force has reiterated the prohibition on the participation of Amotekun and other non-state security actors in election-related security operations.


The Force emphasises that only security agencies recognised and established under the Constitution and laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria are authorised to perform security and law-enforcement duties alongside the Nigeria Police Force in connection with the election. No non-state security group, vigilante organisation or other unauthorised body is permitted to assume or exercise the functions of a recognised security agency. Accordingly, such groups are directed to stay away from election-related security operations and refrain from any activity capable of intimidating voters, disrupting the electoral process or undermining public peace and security.


As part of comprehensive measures to ensure a peaceful, secure and orderly conduct of the election, there will be a restriction of movement from 12:00 midnight on Friday, 14th August, 2026, until 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, 15th August, 2026.


Members of the public are urged to comply fully with the restriction and cooperate with security personnel deployed across the State. Only persons and categories of movement specifically exempted by the appropriate authorities will be permitted during the period.


Political parties, candidates, supporters and other stakeholders are advised to conduct themselves peacefully and responsibly and refrain from any act capable of causing violence or disrupting the electoral process.


The Nigeria Police Force reaffirms its commitment to maintaining peace, security and a level playing field for all political actors and eligible voters throughout the electoral process.


The public is therefore urged to remain calm, law-abiding and cooperative, and to promptly report any suspicious or unlawful activity to constitutionally and legally recognised security agencies.
