Last update: 9 hours ago

Counterterrorism: US President Donald Trump says US and Nigerian forces have “eliminated” ISIS second-in-command Abu-Bilal al-Minuki in a “meticulously planned” operation, calling him the group’s “most active” global figure and saying ISIS operations are “greatly diminished.” Security on the ground: In Nigeria, gunmen struck schools again—Oyo State police report an assistant headmaster was killed and students were abducted in Oriire LGA, while separate reports say terrorists abducted students from a Borno school. Human rights pressure: Nigeria’s NHRC is demanding explanations from the Nigerian Air Force over recurring civilian deaths linked to airstrikes. Politics & sovereignty: Kenya ratified a defence pact with France granting French troops legal immunity, reigniting debate over accountability. Economy & daily life: Nigeria’s inflation rose to 15.69% in April, with food inflation highest in Enugu, Kwara and Adamawa. Education & welfare: Federal Unity Colleges face a widening PTA teachers’ withdrawal over poor pay and delayed regularisation.
