A rift between Mexico and Ecuador is growing, with a series of diplomatic provocations this week that culminated in Ecuador rejecting Mexico’s ambassador to the country, and Mexico announcing that it would offer asylum to a wanted Ecuadorean politician.

Mexican Ambassador Raquel Serur Smeke was declared “persona non grata” in Ecuador on Thursday after Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador appeared to criticize Ecuador’s recent elections.

Ecuador’s 2023 run-off vote took place in a “very strange” manner, Lopez Obrador said, suggesting that presidential candidates used the media, candidate Fernando Villavicencio’s assassination, and overall violence in their favor while campaigning.

In a statement posted on X, Ecuador’s Foreign Ministry called Lopez Obrador’s comments “unfortunate” and said the country is still mourning Villavicencio’s assassination. It also reiterated its focus on ensuring “respect for the dignity and sovereignty of the Ecuadorian State” and “non-intervention in the internal affairs of other States.”

However, a press release by the Mexican Foreign Ministry on Friday lamented the Ecuadorean decision as “disproportionate” and announced that Mexico had decided to grant political asylum to Ecuador’s former Vice President Jorge David Glas Espinel – a move that Ecuador’s Foreign Minister Gabriela Sommerfield quickly slammed as “interference in internal affairs.”

Glas served under leftist ex-President Rafael Correa between 2013 and 2017. Convicted twice on corruption charges, Glas says that he is the subject of political persecution, and has been sheltering inside the Mexican Embassy in Quito, according

Just in 9Yrs Old Boy Killed As Transformer Explodes In Ogun

A 9-year-old boy has died after an electric transformer exploded Wednesday, April 3, in Papalanto community in the Ewekoro Local Government Area of Ogun State.

The explosion killed nine-year-old Jomiloju Taiwo and injured his sister, seven-year-old Pipeloluwa Taiwo, leaving her with burns.

The aforementioned are children of one Mr Taiwo Nicholas, a resident of the community.

The incident happened at about 1.33pm when the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company restored power supply to the community shortly after a power outage. Shortly after power was restored, a loud noise was heard, which was suspected to have come from the electric transformer.

The explosion gutted Nicholas’ building, which was just a few feet away from the transformer.

The siblings were found lying unconscious on the kitchen floor when their mother rushed to the apartment following the explosion.

While the two victims were being rushed to the hospital, the older sibling, Jomiloju, died. Pipeloluwa is still receiving treatment in hospital having sustained severe burns both on the feet and hands.

This comes just days after a 15-year-old girl was allegedly electrocuted in the Olomore Housing Estate in Abeokuta, Ogun State. The teenager was said to have come in contact with a naked cable that was placed in a pumping machine inside a well while she was fetching water from it on April 1. She was jolted immediately after the contact and confirmed dead by a doctor on duty at a hospital.
