About the time in Shekau
Sunrise today lands at 06:02 and sunset at 06:30 local time, giving 12h 28m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (12.16, 11.68) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Shekau.
Shekau runs on Africa/Lagos, which puts the city UTC +1 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Shekau follows the civil time used across its region of Nigeria; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
