The British Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is being accused of covering up police corruption during the case of jailed Nigerian governor James Ibori.

Ibori was jailed in the UK for laundering millions by buying properties, a fleet of armoured Range Rovers and a £120,000 Bentley. 

Before Ibori was sentenced, there were claims that police investigating him had received thousands of pounds from private detectives hired by the Nigerian fraudster. 

Prosecutors had previously denied defence accusations that they had not handed over all the key evidence of this alleged police malpractice.

But the CPS has now admitted it does possess intelligence which “supports the assertion” that a Scotland Yard officer received payment in return for information about the Ibori case in 2007.

Defence lawyers have claimed that the CPS “wilfully misled” judges about the existence of this evidence.

If the defense case were to be accepted, Ibori’s legal team would seek to have their client’s conviction overturned by the Court of Appeal.

A spokesman from Nigeria's #BringBackOurGirls campaign says that a girl who the army rescued on Thursday from Boko Haram and said she was part of the 219 kidnapped from Chibok in 2014, was not one of those taken at the time, the AFP new agency reports.

The girl was among 97 people the army rescued.

The confusion appears to be that she was a student at the Chibok school, but was "abducted by the insurgents in her home in Madagali", AFP quotes campaign spokesman Sesugh Akume.

Thousands of people have been kidnapped by Boko Haram and their whereabouts remain unknown.

And to get over the price doubling, the government has decided to, well, import sugar

Ghana's law courts have shut because of an indefinite nationwide strike by court workers called today over poor conditions of service. 

They want the government to implement a deal over new salaries which was approved last year.

Last month, members of the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana met a presidential committee that was set up to address their concerns. 

But this did not yield any fruitful results. 

The World Health Organization says that the Zika virus strain linked to neurological defects in new-born babies in South America has been detected in Africa for the first time. 

It was found in a sample taken from Cape Verde.

The name of the virus in fact comes from a Ugandan forest where it was first identified.

Uganda's Daily Monitor, external has more details of a raid in the north of the country earlier this week in which 20 people were abducted (see 12.23 entry).

It says that the authorities do not know the whereabouts of those who were taken, but a local official says that it is likely that they are now over the border in South Sudan.

It is thought that the attackers themselves are from South Sudan.

The Daily Monitor quotes local army official Lt Andrew Kandiho as saying that the attackers took goats and other provisions.

“We are also working jointly with security operatives in South Sudan to ensure those people are returned,” he added.

The BBC's Middle East correspondent, Lina Sinjab, who is in Cairo, says some families have already carried out funerals with empty coffins for their loved ones.

She said: "The rituals here are they have to bury the dead as soon as they die, but they are in a really difficult position because they don't know if the bodies would ever arrive, so they're still waiting at the moment. 

"They did this as a symbolic move to commemorate their lost ones."

The UN Security Council says it has received assurances from the Kenyan government that it will respect its international obligations to refugees, despite announcing that it will close the Dadaab refugee camp, home to more than 300,000 Somalis.

UN ambassadors have been talking about the proposed closure with Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Britain's Ambassador to the UN, Matthew Rycroft, told the BBC that the fate of the refugees will be determined jointly by the Security Council and the Somali and Kenyan governments. 

Kenya said it wanted to close the camp because of security concerns. 

The government says several militant attacks on Kenyan soil were planned in the camp.

Young men who sell petrol in jerrycans by the roadside in Nigeria, known as black maketers, have switched over from the petrol business to selling kerosene in the northern city of Bauchi. 

They say they have switched because there are no more petrol shortages since the official pump price rose 67% last week, so motorists no longer need to get petrol on the black market.

Umar, one of the black marketers, told me that now kerosene is more scarce than petrol.

Most families in Nigeria rely on kerosene for cooking. 

The black marketers say the government should provide more job opportunities so they don't have to resort to selling fuel on the streets.

Geneva's chief prosecutors will release a watch which the family of Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie insist was stolen, reports Bloomberg, external.

The watch was confiscated by prosecutors who have now told Bloomberg they have found no criminal wrongdoing.

The family say the watch was stolen from the Imperial Palace by soldiers in the wake of a 1974 Marxist coup that deposed the Ethiopian monarch, or was taken from a safety deposit box shortly thereafter.

Bloomberg say the 18-carat gold Patek Phillipe watch is expected to get £1m (£690,000) in auction.
