ECOWAS delegation arrives in Niger for last-ditch diplomatic push
On Friday, the ECOWAS commissioner for peace and security, Abdel-Fatau Musah, said 11 of its 15 member states agreed to commit troops to a military deployment, saying they were “ready to go” whenever the order was given.
A tragic accident in Niger state, Nigeria, claimed at least 48 lives when a fuel tanker collided with a truck, leading to a massive explosion. The tanker, carrying gasoline and cattle, set two other vehicles on fire, with 50 cattle burned alive. Authorities recovered 48 bodies and conducted a mass burial. This incident highlights Nigeria’s road safety issues, exacerbated by a lack of railway systems for cargo transportation, contributing to frequent fatal accidents.
