by

In tonight’s edition: Nigeria releases the names of the 82 Chibok girls released by Boko Haram; President Buhari goes back to London for health checkups; and villagers in a sleepy town in Mozambique fear their hopes for growth and change are being extinguished.

In Nigeria, the names of the 82 Chibok school girls freed by Boko Haram extremists are released but opposition figures criticise the government for agreeing to a prisoner swap for the captives.

Also, concerns about Nigeria’s president’s health are further stoked after Muhammadu Buhari heads out of the country once again for health checkups in London.
And villagers in the sleepy seaside village of Palma in Mozambique fear their hopes for growth and change are being extinguished. Plans for a natural gas project there are threatened by logistics, falling gas prices and government scandal.
