Videos shared on social media over the past week show long queues at passport control at Geneva Airport. Some travelers say they waited up to three hours to clear border checks. Geneva Airport often gets crowded during winter. Ski season brings thousands of visitors, including many from the UK. This year, however, delays have grown worse. Airport officials say a new EU border system has increased congestion at passport control. New EU Entry Exit System Causes Delays Geneva Airport has blamed the EU Entry Exit System, known as EES, for the slow movement of passengers. Officials say congestion is most common on Saturdays, which are the busiest travel days during ski season. A spokesperson said the rollout of EES has created serious challenges for Swiss customs and airport staff. The new system requires biometric checks, which take more time per passenger. To ease pressure, the airport has increased staff numbers. Even so, long queues continue during peak hours. Tenerife Also Sees Long Waiting Times Similar delays have appeared at Tenerife Airport in the Canary Islands. The island remains a top winter sun destination for British travelers. Andrew Knight, who runs Sanasty Car Hire at Tenerife Airport, says many arriving passengers struggle with long waits at border kiosks. Most of his customers come from the UK and arrive during busy flight schedules. Delays Depend on Arrival Times Passengers who land during quieter hours often pass through passport control quickly. Some clear checks in about 20 minutes. Problems start when several flights arrive close together. During these periods, queues grow fast. Some travelers wait up to two hours before reaching the kiosks. Knight says the system works unevenly. At times, technical issues shut it down completely. When that happens, delays increase and frustration grows. Peak Travel Still a Concern Airport operators warn that long queues could continue during busy travel seasons. Until systems improve, passengers may face delays at major European airports. Authorities say flexibility remains an option. Border staff can pause the new system during peak times if queues become unmanageable.

Nigeria charges six people in alleged Independence Day coup plot Background of the alleged coup case Authorities in Nigeria have filed treason charges against six individuals over an alleged plot linked to the country’s Independence Day events. The case connects to concerns that first appeared in October 2025 when officials suddenly cancelled a planned military parade for Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary. Government officials explained the cancellation as a response to security risks. However, public discussion quickly shifted toward speculation about a possible coup attempt. The military later rejected those claims. In January, it confirmed that 16 officers would face a military trial for allegedly trying to remove the president from power. Federal court expands criminal charges Separate proceedings have now moved to the Federal High Court. Prosecutors have added charges of terrorism and financial crimes alongside treason. It remains unclear whether these new charges run alongside the ongoing military trials or form part of the same investigation. Key individuals named in the case Among those charged is former petroleum minister Timipre Sylva, who also previously served as governor of Bayelsa State. Investigators searched his residence in October, but he has denied any involvement in a coup plan. Another defendant is Abdulkadir Sani, an Islamic cleric. Court documents list all six accused as having conspired to wage war against the state with the aim of overpowering the president. Authorities allege that Col Mohammed Alhassan Ma’aji led the attempted plan. He was arrested along with other suspects. Allegations of support and funding Prosecutors claim the accused had prior awareness of Ma’aji’s alleged treason activities but failed to alert security agencies. The charge sheet also accuses them of withholding intelligence that could have prevented serious security threats. Financial crime allegations form a major part of the case. Investigators say funds moved between the accused in ways linked to terrorism financing and efforts to destabilize the government. Case status All six defendants have not publicly responded to the charges. The court proceedings continue as authorities pursue both security related and financial crime allegations.
