Ghana's government has declined a $1.8 million donation from MTN Ghana intended to support Ghanaians affected by recent xenophobic attacks in South Africa. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says the government has already made sufficient financial provisions to cover the evacuation and reintegration of affected Ghanaian citizens.

The Ministry clarified that the decision does not amount to a rejection of MTN's support for Ghanaians. Instead, it reflects the government's existing arrangements to finance the ongoing humanitarian response.

Lulu Gaboo spoke to Wilberforce Asare, Head of Legal and Political Desk, Asaase Radio.

Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu has ordered the military and intelligence agencies to launch an immediate and coordinated rescue operation following a massive armed raid in north-central Niger State.

The attack, which occurred last week in the remote Borgu Local Government Area, left at least 30 people dead, while as many as 600 others, mostly women, children and the elderly, are feared to have been abducted by gunmen. The incident has sparked renewed public outrage over what many Nigerians describe as persistent security failures and weaknesses within the country's security cluster.
