Thousands protest against George Weah in Liberia

Thousands of people have marched through the streets of the Liberian capital, Monrovia, to protest against President George Weah's handling of the economy - which has seen spiralling inflation.

The demonstrators want Mr Weah to say what happened to $25m (£19m) that the government withdrew from the country's Federal Reserve Account in 2018 in an effort to stabilise the economy.

In northern Nigeria city of Kano, members of the local religious police - Hisbah enforcing Sharia law, have released fifteen men after arresting them last week on suspicion of being gay.
