Kenya: Agnes Wanjiru’s Family Outraged as Extradition Hearing Is Delayed to 2027

Agnes Wanjiru’s family condemned the postponement until May 2027 of the extradition hearing for Robert James Purkiss, a former British soldier accused of killing her in Kenya in 2012. The five-day hearing had been due to begin in mid-November 2026 at Westminster Magistrates’ Court. Wanjiru’s body was found in a septic tank near a British Army training camp, and her family says the latest delay extends its 14-year wait for justice. Arrested in the UK in November 2025, Purkiss denies the allegation and is contesting extradition; the family, which had been preparing to travel to the UK, urged authorities to expedite the proceedings.

North Kivu: Child killed and six civilians wounded in shelling blamed on FRN in Walikale

A five-year-old child was killed and six civilians were seriously wounded on Wednesday, October 28, in Waloa Yungu, Walikale territory, North Kivu. Local customary and civil society sources blamed the explosive attacks on the Front for the Refoundation of the Nation (FRN) rebels, who reportedly targeted Wazalendo positions from Kibati and Kashebere; shells struck villages and a health facility serving displaced women and children. The wounded were taken to a local medical facility, and their condition remains worrying. The attacks came amid clashes between the Congolese army (FARDC), backed by Wazalendo, and the FRN, as the army seeks to retake areas of Walikale.

Arrest of Prince Epenge: Martin Fayulu denounces “two-tier justice”

Martin Fayulu denounced the detention of Prince Epenge, president of ADDCongo and Lamuka spokesperson, after Epenge was referred to the Kinshasa/Gombe prosecutor following 48 hours at the National Cybercrime Council. Epenge is accused of spreading false information by linking the death of his supporter Manasse Lomboto to violence on September 15, 2026; prosecutors dispute his account. Fayulu called for Epenge’s rights to be respected, an impartial judicial process, an independent investigation into Lomboto’s death, and prompt consideration of the complaint filed by C64 lawyers. Epenge was arrested on October 25 at N’djili Airport as he was preparing to travel to Rome, and Fayulu said he must not be made a scapegoat.

50 Cent Gets Temporary Restraining Order Against Tia Kemp to Protect His 14-Year-Old Son

A Miami-Dade County judge granted a temporary restraining order on October 26, 2026, sought by 50 Cent—whose legal name is Curtis Jackson—on behalf of his 14-year-old son, Sire. Tia Kemp, the mother of Rick Ross’s son, is barred from coming within 150 meters of Sire or contacting him, including through social media; she must also surrender any firearms and ammunition to law enforcement. Jackson alleges that Kemp repeatedly targeted him online, causing his son humiliation and emotional distress. The order expires on November 3, when both parties are due in court; the dispute escalated after 50 Cent publicly mocked reports of an assault involving William Roberts III, Kemp and Rick Ross’s son.
