Today's dose of surrealism
A Nigerian state governor has denied reports that he escaped charges of money-laundering in the UK by disguising himself as a woman.
However, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha told the BBC that he could not remember other details of his journey back to the oil-rich southern Bayelsa State.
He insisted that he was innocent and that the £1.8m ($3.2m) found in cash and bank accounts was not his.
A US company has been given a two-year contract to help fight piracy off the Somalia coast - seen as among the world's most dangerous waters.

America's Army is one of the most popular computer games on the planet and like many games, it is a shoot-em-up, get-the-bad guys kind of affair.
But unlike other games, America's Army is truly a product of the US military. The Army first released the game a few years ago as a recruiting tool.
But, at the recent Serious Games Summit in Washington, DC, the Army showed off a new use for its computer game - training soldiers for combat.
America's Army now has six million registered users, and scores of fansites, worldwide. That is not just because the Army gives the game away online for free.
