At 80 And Still On the Job: Why the World’s Oldest Leaders and Retirees Are Defying Retirement

Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie publicly accused the Lagos‑based Euracare hospital of stalling a coronial inquest into her 21‑month‑old son's death, which happened in January. She claims the hospital obstructed evidence and has requested a Federal High Court to halt the inquiry. The investigation panel of the Medical and Dental Council had earlier suggested possible medical negligence. While Euracare denies wrongdoing, Adichie says the hospital misrepresented the cause of death, providing incomplete records. The case has drawn wider attention to health sector accountability in Nigeria.

President Donald Trump announced that the United States Southern Command carried out an airstrike that killed Héctor ‘Niño’ Guerrero, the long‑time leader of the Latin‑American crime syndicate Tren de Aragua.  The strike, conducted in cooperation with Venezuelan authorities, is part of a broader US campaign against the gang’s drug operations across the region.  Guerrero’s death follows earlier US actions, including a raid that arrested former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on drug‑trafficking charges.  The move has sparked debate over the legality of US strikes and the extent of cooperation with foreign governments.
