The Federal Government has commenced investigation into the accident involving an airline operated by Dana Airline.

The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) in Imo state has continued its raid on independent petroleum marketers who sell fuel above the government approved price of 145 Naira per litre.

The Bishop of Ahiara Catholic Diocese in Imo State, Peter Okpaleke has resigned. His appointment by the Vatican had created crisis, and was opposed by the laity and a section of the clergy.

Opkaleke, who hails from Anambra State, was consecrated in 2012, after the death of Dr. Victor Chikwe. A letter said to have emanated from the pontiff on February 19, accepted Okpaleke’s resignation.

Pope Francis has since accepted his resignation and appointed the Bishop of Umuahia, Dr. Luciuos Ugorji, as the Apostolic Administrator of the diocese.

The BBC that has operated a Hausa Service for 60 years, will this week launch Igbo and Yoruba services in Nigeria.

The digital-only services go live online and on social media on Monday, joining a platform for Pidgin speakers that was launched last year and has attracted widespread interest.

The move is part of the news corporation’s expansion in local languages aimed at more in-depth reporting of countries around the world.
