ISWAP claims responsibility for deadly attacks in Nigeria
In Adamawa state, the group claimed responsibility for two attacks on Banga village, a Christian community.
The first, on April 15, allegedly resulted in the deaths of two Christians and the torching of over 30 houses and a church, with "Amaq" publishing photographs of the assault.
The second attack on Banga, on April 16, targeted a Nigerian police patrol in the village, damaging a vehicle and wounding several officers.
It also released a photo album depicting an assault on Lareh village in Adamawa, showing houses belonging to Christians and a church being set on fire but it was not accompanied with a claim.
Boko Haram and ISWAP fighters have mainly operated in northeastern Nigeria and targeted security forces and civilians, killing or displacing tens of thousands of people.
The Nigerian government has said it will "crush" the groups, increasing this year's defence budget by over 40%.

Local firms drive new growth phase in Nigeria's oil sector
Nigeria is witnessing a significant shift in its oil and gas landscape as local companies expand their roles, driving a new phase of potential sectoral growth and innovation. Leading the charge are companies which bought onshore and shallow-water assets from oil majors planning billions of dollars of investments to develop abandoned fields. Smaller producers are also pulling their weight, for example Nigeria's first locally developed and operated onshore crude terminal, Otakikpo, began loading operations on Monday. Built by Green Energy Limited and located in the OML 11 block near Port Harcourt, it marks a milestone in local capacity. Shell loaded the first crude cargo through the 360,000 bpd capacity terminal on Monday, opening up potential drilling prospects for over 40 stranded fields in the region. Similarly, Conoil Producing Limited recently shipped the first cargo of its new Obodo crude blend from the onshore OML 150 in the Niger Delta. The cargo was lifted by Oando Trading, a subsidiary of Oando Plc which bought ENI's divested assets. Following this trend, Renaissance Africa Energy — after acquiring Shell's onshore assets — is committing to investing $15bn (R266.77bn) over the next five years in its oil and gas operations. The company aims not only to balance its portfolio by increasing crude oil production but also to double its gas output once a key local gas pipeline is completed. Similarly, Seplat Energy, following its acquisition of ExxonMobil's Nigerian shallow-water assets, recently announced plans to reopen 400 previously shut-in wells. CEO Roger Brown said the company is set to invest up to $320m (R5.69bn) this year in drilling campaigns and infrastructure, with the goal of boosting crude production to around 140,000 barrels per day. "We are focused on reviving existing wells, expanding drilling campaigns, and increasing gas volumes," Brown said during the company's annual general meeting. While these developments show the increasing role local producers are playing amidst government reforms, they are also grappling with challenges. "These operators face higher costs due to security challenges, community disputes, oil theft and ageing infrastructure — a key aspect of reducing costs for operators will be addressing these challenges," said Mikolah Judson, an analyst at global risk consultancy, Control Risk. These local players, signal a new phase for Nigeria's oil and gas sector and could provide support for the government's plan to raise oil output by additional 1 million barrels per day (bpd) next year, head of Nigeria's oil regulator said. They now account for over half of Nigeria's oil production from around 40% before the oil majors completed their divestment programmes according to the regulator's data.

Nigeria's defence chief proposes fencing borders to curb insecurity
Nigeria's defence chief on Tuesday called for the country's borders with its four neighbours to be completely fenced to curb the entrance of armed groups amid escalating insecurity. Nigeria's military has been strained by widespread security issues, particularly a 16-year insurgency in the northeast led by Islamist militant group Boko Haram and its offshoot Islamic State West Africa Province. Security forces and civilians have been attacked and killed and tens of thousands of people have been displaced. Defence chief of staff Gen Christopher Musa, who spoke at a security conference in the capital Abuja, said "border management is very critical", citing Pakistan's 1,350km fence with Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia's 1,400km barrier with Iraq as successful precedents. This is the first time a top Nigerian official has publicly suggested such a measure. "Other countries, because of the level of insecurity they have, had to fence their borders," he said.

Human trafficking case: Mother refers to baby as a ‘dog'
The mother (30), who allegedly attempted to sell her baby, cried in court after bail was denied to her. Magistrate Vuyokazi Diza handed down judgement recently, in the bail application of four people accused of trafficking a baby. At the first sitting of the bail application on May 12, the court heard how the four involved in this case, attempted to sell the new-born infant for financial gain. In statements from investigating officer, Detective Warrant Officer Michelle van Niekerk of Margate Saps, the court heard how an offer of R25 000 was received for the child from a Nigerian national. It was the intervention of police that resulted in the arrest of the four who allegedly tried to sell the baby for a better offer of R140 000. Van Niekerk opposed bail and believed they should remain in custody because if one of the four disappeared, it could jeopardise the case. Also, there was concern that they would interfere with state witness. 'The mother of the baby referred to the child as a dog, and wanted nothing to do with it. She was no mother to the child,' read the detective's statement. Her 42-year-old boyfriend (accused three) who faces a schedule one offence was granted bail of R3000. The court heard he had a chronic illness and lived in a shack on a property he owned in Uvongo. He lived there without running water or electricity. Diza said accused three had indicated that he had ties to the area of jurisdiction, and it can be agreed that he can't just up and leave. His bail conditions are that he cannot interfere with state witnesses or police investigations. He must also report weekly to Margate police station. A husband (39) and wife (40), (accused one and two), who are believed to be the 'sellers' of the three-day old infant were also denied bail. Accused one, two and four (the baby's mother) are facing a schedule six offence which carries severe penalties, including life imprisonment. In a a strange twist, accused two arrived to court wearing a hijab over a longish pair of shorts. Her husband has been wearing a taqiyah (cap) since the start of the case. In a lengthy judgement, Diza gave various reasons for denying bail to the three accused. She said the court needed proof of residential addresses and employment, and this was not provided. Diza said there was mention of staying in Cape Town or Krugersdorp. 'Cape Town is far away and the police wouldn't know where to look for you, unlike accused three, who has ties to the area.' 'The court invited you to make this information available. It is something worth knowing and that's why I called for it (proof of residences) as 'something was lacking'.' Diza said so much could go wrong (if bail was granted) and they were unable to provide sufficient significant details. She further said she cannot grant bail as it's not in the interest of justice and she can't accept the exceptional circumstances. With regards to accused two's four children, Diza said the court has been informed that they are safe with relatives. The court heard how the mother of the baby (accused four) was going through a difficult time and needed help. Diza said the court questioned that if accused four was staying with her mother, why couldn't she have helped with the baby. Instead, the baby was handed over to accused one and two. * To protect the identity of the child, the four accused in this case, cannot be named.
