A coalition of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and the Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room (NCSSR) has reported widespread vote buying during the Edo State governorship election.

Despite the presence of security personnel, these incidents were widespread, including in Owan-East, Etsako-West, Egor, Oredo, and Owan-West LGAs.

The group commended voters’ peaceful conduct and acknowledged arrests made by the police in connection with vote trading.

Heritage Foundation Pushes for Release of Prince Harry’s U.S. Immigration Records

The Heritage Foundation has intensified efforts to release Prince Harry’s U.S. immigration records, asserting that his disclosures could have affected his entry eligibility.

After DHS denied their Freedom of Information request, a judge ruled in September to keep the files private—a decision now under appeal by Heritage.

Heritage spokesperson Nile Gardiner argued that revealing the records aligns with public interest, adding, “The rule of law should apply equally to everyone.” He also suggested that the Biden administration’s protection of Harry may end after the inauguration, with growing calls in Congress for transparency.

Tensions have persisted between Harry and former President Trump, who has openly criticized the prince and indicated he wouldn’t offer him protection if re-elected. Gardiner predicts a decision on the matter within a year.
