Police, Soldiers In Mass Action In Edo Over Rampant Kidnapping https://ift.tt/FiIJ1hl Day after the Edo State Commissioner of Police, Monday Agbonika personally led troops of joint security operatives at the dead of the night to launch offensive attacks against kidnappers in the forest, the Commander, 4 Brigade of the Nigerian Army, Brigadier General Ahmed Balogun also personally led troops of joint security operatives to the kidnappers' hideouts and launched massive military clearance and offensive actions against kidnappers, both security operations led to the arrest of several suspected kidnappers allegedly caught in the act inside the bush, with the identities of the arrested suspects indicating that most of the kidnappers terrorising Edo State are from the far Northern part of Nigeria, an observation which appeared to have challenged the public policy statement made earlier in January 2026 by the Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo who stated that many of those involved in the kidnapping surge in Edo state are indigenes of the area, saying, that may be the reason some kidnappers wears facemasks, the governor made this statement as kidnapping in the state appeared to have become worse in 2026 and very rampant in a manner that indicated that an average of 1 to 2 persons are being kidnapped in a day in Edo state as more than 60 persons became new victims of the increasing criminal activities in the state since the beginning of 2026, like, in January 2, 2026, two brothers, Doctor Abu Ibrahim Babatunde, a medical doctor on housemanship and Abu Tahir, a fresh graduate were kidnapped at the gate of their residence along City Pride Road, Igbira Camp in Auchi, the kidnappers initially demanded a ₦200 million ransom and tragically, on January 5, one of the two brothers was found #OsazuwaAkonedo

Lawyer States How Omotosho Was Unprofessional, Biased In Nnamdi Kanu's Case

Lawyer States How Omotosho Was Unprofessional, Biased In Nnamdi Kanu's Case https://ift.tt/by1IkPL #Issues #Biafra #Kanu #Njoku #Nnamdi #Omotosho January 29th, 2026 January 29, 2026 11:32 pmIn this write up, a legal practitioner, Njoku Jude Njoku pinpoints some fundamentals in the judgement passed against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, by Justice James Omotosho which convicted and sentenced the Biafra Republic agitation leader to life imprisonment, and in this press release the legal practitioner issued in late 2025 entitled; "24 November 2025: The Day Evidence Ceased To Matter in Nigerian Courts, Judicial Silence, Selective Justice, and Media Complicity" described Justice Omotosho as unprofessional, stating that; "the most dangerous aspect of the judgment delivered by Justice James K Omotosho, is not merely that it reached a foreordained conclusion, but that it did so by deliberately suppressing evidence he already admitted on record in his own court, thereby converting adjudication into a procedural façade, this was not an error of law or an oversight of fact; it was a calculated refusal to engage with material evidence whose evaluation would have fatally undermined the prosecution’s narrative", emphazing that; "this case is no longer about one man, it is about whether courts may openly disregard admitted evidence and still be treated as legitimate, and whether the media will continue to mask such conduct through silence, a judiciary that can ignore evidence without explanation has ceased to function as a court of law, a media that refuses to question that silence has abdicated its public duty, together, they place the rule of law itself in existential peril". #OsazuwaAkonedo Become a supporter of this podcast: https://ift.tt/63qZK1A (https://ift.tt/AaQi8pK) .

Former Justice Minister Abubakar Malami Begs Nigerians For Justice

Former Justice Minister Abubakar Malami Begs Nigerians For Justice https://ift.tt/czoUT6x #Issues #Buhari #Dasuki #Dss #EFCC #Kanu #Malami #Sowore January 24th, 2026 January 24, 2026 11:53 pm Abubakar Malami, a former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation who was in office from November 2015 till May 2023 when the then President Muhammadu Buhari completed his eight years tenure in office, under which, Courts of competent jurisdiction granted several detained Nigerians bail but the Buhari government refused to release them and even rearrested some of them after they had perfected their bail conditions, the then Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami who was saddled with the responsibility of protecting citizens' rights, came out openly and apparently justified the violations of court orders by the then Buhari led government, and during the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, Abubakar Malami, frequently defended the actions of the government's refusal to obey courts orders of bail granted to high profile individuals by asserting that national security and public interest superseded individual rights, some of the high profile individuals included Colonel Sambo Dasuki, the former National Security Adviser in the era of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan who was held for four years from December 2015 to December 2019, despite being granted bail by at least four different Nigerian high courts and the ECOWAS Court, he was repeatedly re-arrested by the Department of State Services, DSS immediately after fulfilling bail conditions, Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky and his wife Zeenah, detained from December 2015 until they were released in July 2021 were refused bail after Federal court declared their detention illegal in 2016 and ordered their release by January 2017, but the government under which Abubakar Malami was a Justice Minister did not comply, until they were eventually acquitted of all charges by a Kaduna State High Court in 2021, also, Omoyele Sowore, an activist and a Journalist who is the founder of SaharaReporters news media remained in DSS custody for several months in 2019 despite fulfilling bail conditions set by Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, he was re-arrested within the courtroom just 24 hours after a temporary release, Nnamdi Kanu, the convicted and jailed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB Leader was refused bail during his initial trial in 2015, President Buhari then publicly stated during a media chat that Kanu among others would not be allowed to go on bail due to the nature of their alleged crimes, despite court rulings, in addition, was Navy Captain Dada Labinjo who was detained by the Nigeria Military from September 2018 until at least late 2019, despite a Federal High Court order for his release and during these periods, Abubakar Malami provided several justifications for these detentions, most notably during his 2019 ministerial screening: Malami stated that the office of the AGF is meant to protect the public interest, and "where the individual interest conflicts with the public interest, the interest of 180 million Nigerians must naturally prevail", he cited the Supreme Court case of Asari Dokubo versus Federal Republic of Nigeria, arguing, it established that national security could supersede personal liberty in specific contexts and when Dasuki and Sowore were finally released in December 2019, Malami claimed the government did so on "compassionate grounds" and in compliance with court orders, while denying that international pressure from the United States, US influenced the decision, currently, the then apparent defender and justifier of government disobedient to court orders, is now calling on Nigerians and begging them to help him get justice since the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC kept him in custody against court order that he had said earlier granted him bail and after perfecting his bail conditions, he was rearrested by the DSS and since he has remained in detention.  #OsazuwaAkonedo Become a supporter of this podcast: https://ift.tt/o9ItnSX (https://ift.tt/KgU71PG) .
