Obi criticises Nigeria poll
Labour Party's Peter Obi finished in third place in Nigeria elections.
Nigeria's opposition Labour Party leader, Peter Obi, has spoken to the media for the first time since the election. The third-placed candidate has vowed to prove in court that his supporters were "robbed" of victory. Bola Tinubu of the ruling APC party was declared the winner, with 37% of the vote.
Suspected Boko Haram militants have set fire to more than 500 homes in Cameroon's Far North Region.
And we hear from Liberian journalist, Jonathan Paye-Layleh who has ended his 30 year career at the BBC.
