Similarly, a Nigerian woman successfully appealed against deportation after establishing a strong claim under Article 8…

Former Minister of Transportation and two-term Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, has expressed readiness to support the formation of a broad opposition alliance to challenge President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general elections, citing worsening economic hardship and insecurity across the country. Amaechi, who ran in the 2022 APC presidential primaries, positioning himself as a candidate with proven governance and national experience, said current national conditions demanded “real change” — and warned that loyalty to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) should not mean blind support for government failures.“If the government is failing the country, you don’t just…

The move will mean it is no longer an offence to sleep on pavements or in public spaces, raising the possibility that homeless encampments could become more visible on city centre streets. Announcing the…

The staff letter, seen by the BBC, also highlighted concerns about the UK’s potential complicity…

Women in England and Wales may soon be protected from prosecution for ending their own pregnancies, under a landmark proposal to decriminalise abortion that will go before Parliament next week. MPs are set to participate in a free vote — meaning they can vote according to their conscience rather than following party lines — on a key amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. The change would remove the threat of police investigations and possible imprisonment for women who terminate pregnancies outside the strict boundaries of current law. The debate has been reignited amid concern that more women are facing…
