Opioid Alarm in West Africa: An AFP investigation says Indian firms are exporting millions of tapentadol tablets to countries like Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Ghana—despite a promised crackdown—fueling a “zombie drug” crisis as tapentadol is reportedly being added to kush, already declared a national emergency in Liberia and Sierra Leone. Courts & Corruption: Liberia’s Judiciary denies a report that Chief Justice Yamie Quiqui Gbeisay ordered a probe into alleged jury tampering in the US$6.2 million corruption case, calling it fabricated and aimed at undermining court independence.

Regional Governance: Ghana’s WASSCE returns to the synchronized May–June timetable after five years of disruption, with 509,862 candidates starting with Oral English.
