At least six people have been wounded

At least six people have been wounded in a series of drive-by shootings in a town in central Italy, and one man has been arrested, police say. All of those hurt in the attacks in Macerata were foreigners, they said. The suspect had an Italian flag wrapped around his neck when he was detained, amid indications that the attack may have been racially motivated.

The mayor warned people to stay indoors because of the incident, with shootings reported across different locations. The victims are being treated in hospital. At least one of them is said to be in a serious condition. Police said all those targeted were foreigners and local media said they were black immigrants.

The shooting began at 11:00 local time (10:00 GMT), La Repubblica website reports, and the gunman was captured two hours later, after fleeing the car - a black Alfa Romeo - on foot near the town's war memorial.

Tinubu Criticises Obasanjo, Says He Should Have Discussed With Buhari Privately*

Tinubu Criticises Obasanjo, Says He Should Have Discussed With Buhari Privately*

National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Tinubu, has criticised former President Olusegun Obasanjo over the special statement he wrote in which he scored the present government low in its performance so far. Tinubu who was displeased with the manner of approach by the former President said he ought to have addressed the issues privately with President Buhari and therefore, accused him of playing politics.

Tinubu made this known on Friday while addressing journalists in Owerri the Imo state capital, while on his way to the final burial of former Vice President, Dr. Alex Ekwueme. “I believe that would have been the conversation between the retired military Heads of State. They have unfettered access to each other either through the Council of State or any other means; he could have seen the President privately.

“They both had the same background. He (Obasanjo) was also his senior in the army. I think Obasanjo was playing politics with the public letter. That is all I see. They also met at the African Union meeting too. He has a way of discussing with the President any time he wants,” Tinubu said.
