Namibia's authorities are set to face a legal challenge from two political parties over the country's watershed elections last year.

The parties are the Independent Patriots for Change and the Landless People's Movement.

Their legal challenge is centred around the President's proclamation of the election and the way the Electoral Commission of Namibia conducted the poll.

There are growing calls in Nigeria for a major overhaul of the country's policing system, as insecurity continues to rise.

Experts and stakeholders are advocating for a shift from a force-based model to a more community-oriented approach, one that builds trust, improves accountability, and strengthens relationships between the police and the public.

Key proposals include the introduction of state policing, better training and welfare for officers, and the use of technology to curb brutality and rebuild confidence in law enforcement.
