Over 30 children in Nigeria, who were arrested in August after taking part in anti-government demonstrations were detained and charged with treason. Those charges have now been dropped, following outrage in the country. The country's President Bola Tinubu also called for the release of the minors. But why were children detained in the first place?

Also a warning from Equatorial Guinea's vice president Teodoro Obiang Mangue, who has said, civil servants caught having sex in their offices will face "severe measures"

And the town that's slowly coming to life after war in the Central African Republic. What's life like now for the residents of Bossangoa?
