Altercation Between Captain Olive Diane and a Police Officer: Anne Féconde Noah’s Three Questions for Men

A filmed altercation at Douala International Airport over a parked vehicle involved gendarmerie Captain Olive Diane and a police officer, though the full circumstances remain unclear. Anne Féconde Noah, a communications representative for the PCRN, asks whether the officer would have refused to move his vehicle if the commander had been a man. She challenges prejudice about a woman’s appearance, age, and gender in a command role, stressing that state insignia should be respected.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) chapter at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, began an indefinite strike on Thursday, disrupting academic activities.

The union is also seeking changes to administrative committees and greater transparency in the university’s electronic voting system. In a statement signed by branch chairperson Prof. Olujimi Dada and secretary Dr. Soji Arinola, ASUU urged members to remain united and follow only directives issued by the branch chairperson.

SAOU executive officer Paul Sauer said the data do not establish why individual teachers applied, but schools’ working conditions need urgent attention. One former teacher said she left after years of mounting pressure because she had nothing left to give.
