This week in Nigeria
Nigerian media this week extensively covered the shooting incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington D.C., which involved President Trump.

Security issues persist, highlighted by reports of rescued kidnap victims, a university campus invasion, and doctors protesting police harassment.
