Lagos airport diverts planes, leaving many stranded

Flights heading to Nigeria’s largest city, Lagos, are being redirected to other airports because of the seasonal harmattan winds, which carry dust from the Sahara impairing visibility.

Plus controversial Rwandan musician Kizito Mihigo has been arrested for allegedly trying to illegally leave the country.

And young Kenyans are being urged to turn out and donate blood as a way to show love on Valentine's Day.
