💨 Abstract

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu declared a state of emergency in oil-rich Rivers State, suspending the governor, his deputy, and all lawmakers over pipeline vandalism by militants. The state has been embroiled in a political crisis, and Tinubu's decision allows the federal government to make regulations and deploy security forces. A retired vice admiral has been appointed as caretaker to run the state for six months.
