Insecurity in Nigeria

BBC World Service - BBC OS, Insecurity in Nigeria

We hear from young Nigerians who talk about their security fears in the country

We hear from young Nigerians who talk about their security fears in the country and their hopes for the future.

We focus on the growing insecurity in Nigeria following another attack over the weekend, this time in the state of Zamfara where gunmen abducted at least 29 people who were travelling back from a wedding ceremony. We speak to young Nigerians about their hopes and fears, and reflect on a new survey suggesting that two thirds of young African people are not optimistic about their personal futures.

The Court of Appeal in the UK is set to decide today whether the government can go ahead and fly asylum seekers to Rwanda. The first flight is due to leave tomorrow. We hear more from our reporter following the case. 

As the battle in eastern Ukraine continues, we talk about a new report saying that hundreds of civilians have been killed in the city of Kharkiv by Russian shelling, using banned cluster munition and inaccurate rockets. We hear first-hand stories by those who survived or witnessed the shelling. 

A writer of an Australian newspaper has offered an apology after being accused of outing actress Rebel Wilson. The reporter has been accused of “forcing” the actor to come out by giving her two days notice before reporting the story. We speak to our reporter about the criticism the Sydney Morning Herald is facing and hear experiences of those who say they were pressured to come out.
