Sowore Moves Freely In Lagos Despite Police ‘Wanted’ Notice Human rights activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore appeared publicly in Lagos on Wednesday, attending two major events despite being declared “wanted” by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Moshood Jimoh, on November 3, 2025. Where he appeared 1. NBA Ikeja Human Rights Day Event He participated in a panel discussion on safety, security, and mass killings in Nigeria. The event took place just a few meters from the Lagos State Police Command headquarters. 2. UNILAG – Gani Fawehinmi Integrity Award (HEDA) Sowore attended and received a warm welcome from students and activists. Why police declared him wanted The police linked him to alleged disturbances during protests against the Oworonshoki demolitions, which many groups described as illegal and inhumane. Legal response Sowore has filed a ₦500 million fundamental rights lawsuit against: The Nigeria Police Force IGP Kayode Egbetokun CP Moshood Jimoh He argues: He was declared wanted without any invitation, warrant, or charges. His rights to dignity, liberty, and movement were violated. He has never been contacted legally and would have honoured any lawful invitation. He is seeking: Permission for substituted service of court processes An interim injunction stopping the police from arresting, harassing, or declaring him wanted A stay on the “wanted person” declaration Public reaction #Humanrightsgroupssaythepolicedeclaration #Unlawful #Vindictive #Politicallymotivated

“We Didn’t Go There for Money!” — Sowore Recounts How He Rejected ₦800,000 from Late MKO Abiola in 1993 Human rights activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has shared an inspiring story about his encounter with the late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Abiola (MKO) — a moment that, according to him, defined his lifelong commitment to principle over personal gain. In a recent podcast interview, Sowore recalled visiting Abiola’s home as a student leader from the University of Lagos during the tense period following the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election. He described the billionaire’s mansion as “a living room as big as a stadium.” During the visit, Abiola, known for his generosity, offered the students ₦800,000 — a massive sum at the time. However, to Abiola’s surprise, Sowore and his team refused the money. “He was shocked,” Sowore said. “Abiola told us no one had ever rejected money from him. I told him we didn’t come for money — we came to stand for justice.” When Abiola jokingly suggested that the money could at least cover transportation, Sowore humorously replied that “even if we took a helicopter from UNILAG, that amount was still too much.” The activist explained that their decision was driven by integrity and the genuine desire to support Abiola’s democratic struggle — not for personal enrichment. The story has since gone viral, resonating deeply with Nigerians who see it as a reminder of Sowore’s long-standing dedication to activism, truth, and integrity, values often missing in the nation’s political landscape.

Suspending Candidate’s Profile, Says It’s Obeying Court Order. JAMB CANDIDATES JAMB Denies Suspending Candidate’s Profile, Says It’s Obeying Court Order The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has dismissed reports claiming it suspended the profile of a candidate, Monsuru Aduragbemi, describing the allegations as deliberate misinformation by those it called conflict entrepreneurs. In a statement issued on Sunday by its Public Communication Advisor, Fabian Benjamin, the board said the report falsely accused JAMB of disobeying a court order that directed parties to maintain the status quo in a case involving the candidate and two universities, Obafemi Awolowo University and the University of Lagos. JAMB explained that contrary to the claims in circulation, the candidate “on her own volition” was no longer affiliated with either of the two universities as of September 25, 2025, when the suit was filed, or September 30, when the court order was granted. According to the board, the alleged suspension message was simply a programmed system alert that automatically appears when a candidate’s profile is locked to prevent any modification. “The suspension message being mischievously misrepresented is a usual programmed default message that pops up on any profile on which any alteration by the Board officials, institutions or candidate had been restricted,” the statement read. Benjamin added that the restriction applied equally to OAU and UNILAG, as neither institution is allowed to complete its admission list while the court order remains in force. “It was when the fraudulent effort to tamper with the status quo became unsuccessful that those sponsoring her apparently became frustrated and resorted to media blackmail in a bid to pressurise the Board into violating the court order,” he said.

University of Ibadan Emerges Best Nigerian University for 2026. The University of Ibadan in Oyo State has been ranked Nigeria’s top university in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2026. The ranking, released on THE’s website on Thursday, placed the university- located in Ibadan- between 801 and 1,000 globally, ranking it above other leading Nigerian universities, a position it last held in 2023. THE examined 2,191 institutions from 115 countries using 18 performance indicators across five main areas: teaching, research environment, research quality, industry connections, and international outlook. UI improved from fourth place in 2025 to become Nigeria’s best in 2026, surpassing Covenant University, which held the top spot in 2024 and 2025. BUK is recognised as Nigeria’s top university for international outlook, while Covenant has the highest industry score, reflecting its strong industry links. Among 51 Nigerian schools in THE 2026 rankings, only UI and UNILAG are between 801–1000; BUK, CU, and Landmark University are between 1001–1200; five universities—Ahmadu Bello University, Federal University of Technology Minna, University of Ilorin, University of Jos, and University of Nigeria—rank between 1201–1500. Additionally, 14 Nigerian universities are ranked above 1501, and 27 institutions are unranked.

Court orders two Nigerian universities to halt admission process. In her ruling, Justice Segun-Bello asked all parties to maintain the status quo as regards the admission processes, pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice. OAU and UNILAG Logo OAU and UNILAG Logos A Federal High Court in Enugu has directed the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun State, and the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Akoka, to halt all admission processes arising from the recently concluded Post Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (Post-UTME) conducted by both universities. Justice Mabel Segun-Bello delivered the ruling on Tuesday, following a motion ‘ex parte’ filed by five candidates, suing for themselves and “on behalf of all other affected candidates of the 2025 UNILAG and OAU Post-UTME.” The candidates are Chibuzor Succes, Zainab Oyeleye, Adedeji Samuel, Monsura Aduragbemi and Bassey Nsikak. They are represented by F.K. Nnadi and Co., an Enugu-based law firm. Also added as a defendant in the suit is the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), where the Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) used for offering admissions is domiciled. The spokesperson for OAU, Abiodun Olarewaju, said the university is aware of the ruling but has not studied it as a result of the public holiday. Mr Olarewaju said the university will look into the ruling and make its position known. “After the university deliberates on this issue, we will come out with our own position,” he told our reporter in a telephone interview on Wednesday. Efforts to reach UNILAG spokesperson, Adejoke Alaga-Ibraheem were unsuccessful, as her phone line was unreachable and a text message inquiry went unanswered.

UNILAG student drowns after being swept away by waves at the beach.

UNILAG student reports lecturer, after he forcefully slept with her in his office. A lecturer at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Dr. Samuel Ojogbo, was accused of sexually assaulting a 20-year-old female student of the institution. According to The Guardian, sources disclosed that the 300-level student, whose name was withheld, reported the matter to the police on August 28, 2025. She alleged that on August 22, 2025, at about 12:00 p.m., the lecturer had invited her into his office and forcefully had carnal knowledge of her. It was further revealed that she was later taken to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. The university management confirmed that it was aware of the allegation of sexual impropriety. It stated that the case had already been reported to the appropriate police authorities, while the University’s Safeguarding Centre was providing support to the student. The Head of the Communication Unit at UNILAG, Adejoke Alaga-Ibraheem, disclosed that the institution had also constituted a panel to investigate the allegation. She assured that the findings would be made public through the appropriate channels upon completion. She further stated that the university would conduct a thorough investigation and ensure justice for all parties involved. She added that students and other members of the university community were encouraged to report any form of harassment or misconduct through the designated offices.

ASUU Members Protest FG Loan Scheme, Demand Payment Of Outstanding Salaries Members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) staged a nationwide protest on Tuesday, rejecting the Federal Government’s new Tertiary Institution Staff Support Fund loan scheme and demanding payment of withheld salaries and allowances. Key Issues Raised ASUU says the loan plan is a “poison chalice” that would further impoverish lecturers. Union leaders insist lecturers need their entitlements paid — not loans. Demands include: 3.5 months’ withheld salaries (from 2020 strike) Unpaid promotion arrears 25–35 months of wage award arrears Earned academic allowances Revitalisation funds Unremitted third-party deductions Protests Nationwide UNIJOS: Lecturers described the scheme as a deliberate attempt to worsen their hardship. UNILAG: Protesters demanded improved welfare and implementation of the 2009 FG-ASUU agreement. UNIBEN & FUGUS: Lecturers warned that government neglect could trigger another strike. FUD, Jigawa: Union leaders lamented poor salaries and FG’s failure to honour agreements. Looming Strike Threat ASUU cautioned that industrial harmony in universities is at risk, warning of another possible shutdown if urgent action is not taken. They also reminded President Bola Tinubu of his 2022 campaign pledge that strikes would not occur under his administration, urging him to personally intervene to “renew the hope” of Nigeria’s education sector. #ASUUProtest #Education #Nigeria #FG #UnpaidSalaries #NoToLoans #UniversityFunding #StrikeAlert
