Army officers say they are taking power in Gabon

Africa News, Headlines Today
Army officers have appeared on national television in Gabon to say they have taken power. They said they were annulling the results of Saturday’s election, in which President Ali Bongo was declared the winner. The electoral commission said Mr Bongo had won just under two-thirds of the votes in an election the opposition argued was fraudulent. His overthrow would end his family’s 53-year hold on power in Gabon. Twelve soldiers appeared on television announcing they were cancelling the results of the election and dissolving “all the institutions of the republic”. One of the soldiers said on TV channel Gabon 24: “We have decided to defend peace by putting an end to the current regime.” This, he added, was down to “irresponsible, unpredictable governance resulting in a contin...

Runway lighting stolen from Nigerian airport

Runway lighting stolen from Nigerian airport

Africa News
Thieves have stolen the lighting system for one of the runways at Nigeria’s busiest airport just months after it was installed, an airport authority spokesman has confirmed to the BBC. An investigation has now been launched to “arrest the criminals [and] recover what’s missing”, Yakubu Funtua added. It is not clear when the system was taken from Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos. But local media reported that airport workers were involved in the theft.
