The Nigerian government has announced it will require U.S. visa applicants to provide five years of social media history, mirroring a recent U.S. policy that demands the same from Nigerian visa seekers. This move is a direct response to the Trump administration's new visa requirements for Nigerians. The Nigerian government’s decision represents a reciprocal measure aimed at U.S. travelers. Meanwhile, domestic issues in Nigeria continue to unfold, including the detention of an Ekiti police inspector for two months over a WhatsApp comment on police welfare, a longstanding kidnapping operation between police checkpoints in Taraba, and the Nigerian Police Inspector General targeting SaharaReporters and Sowore’s bank accounts over promotion scandal reports. Additionally, the Human and Environmental Development Agenda (HEDA) has given the Nigerian Attorney General 14 days to reinstate criminal charges against former AMCON boss Ahmed Kuru.
