Demonstrations in Port Harcourt against femicide cases in Nigeria

Demonstrations in Port Harcourt after a number of women have been murdered

A march has taken place in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, to protest the killing of two women in a hotel room and the following handling of the situation by the Nigerian Police. People have criticised them for lecturing young women about not visiting hotels, rather than focusing on finding the killers.

At least 27 people, many of them children, have been killed in a fire at a boarding school in a suburb of the Liberian capital Monrovia.
The early-morning fire is believed to have broken out when Koranic school students were sleeping in a building near their mosque.

And we speak to Abimbola Idowu. The Nigerian model whose career is taking off at the age of 71.
