Police in Zambia have been banned from marrying foreigners. This is according to a memo released by the Inspector General of Police. The memo, dated 11 January, said those who were already married to foreigners should declare it within a week and failure to do so would attract disciplinary action. Police spokeswoman Esther Katongo confirmed the memo, saying that a standing order had been issued, notifying police officers of the measure, but that the ban itself was not new. It was being reinforced because some police officers had started ignoring it.  "Issues of security are delicate. If not careful, spouses can be spies and can sell the security of the country. There are a few officers who have started marrying foreigners. They are ignoring the previous requirement and this is why another standing order has been passed to remind officers what they are supposed to do and not supposed to do," Katongo said. Asked why such measures were necessary, Ms Katongo said: "Wh

In what appears a direct attack on President Muhammadu Buhari who is above 70 years, an All Progressives Congress (APC) senator, Dino Melaye, has called on Nigerian youths to get actively involved in politics to ensure no politician in his 70s rules the country again. The APC Kogi West senator, who described such politicians as “old cargoes” who needed to be chased out of the political scene, said if the youths must boot out the old politicians effectively, it is now vital for them to come out and be actively involved in politics so as to take their rightful positions. The senator stated this at the weekend in Abuja during a dinner and lecture put together by the Nigerian Youths Parliament where he represented the Senate President, Bukola Saraki. He said there was no way someone in his 70s can still be in a leadership position in the Nigerian polity should Nigerian youths actively participate and take charge of the political scene, adding that the youths constitute more than 6

A former House of Representatives member from Kano State, Dr. Junaidu Mohammed, was on Sunday tongue-lashed by the presidency, who described him as a habitual abuser of leaders, over his criticism of President Muhammadu Buhari. The president’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, who said this in statement made available to journalists on Sunday called on Nigerians to be wary of prejudiced and biased critics like Dr. Mohammed, who according to him are more interested in personal publicity than respecting facts and figures about their claims.
