• Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor Collapses In Kuje Prison.

    Aloy Ejimakor, Special Counsel to detained IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, has collapsed while in custody at the Kuje Correctional Centre, Abuja.

    This development is happening barely 24 hours after the presiding magistrate, Abubakar Umar Sai’id, allegedly refused to sign his bail bond for release.

    Ejimakor was said to have slumped after complaining of weakness and difficulty standing.

    Prison medical staff rushed to attend to him. His condition is believed to be getting worse, and authorities are considering transferring him to a hospital for urgent care.

    Ejimakor is among 13 individuals arrested earlier in the week during the “#FreeNnamdiKanuNow” protest. Those arrested also include Nnamdi Kanu’s younger brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu.

    They were reportedly tear-gassed, beaten, and taken into custody before being moved to the notorious SARS detention facility known as “Abattoir”.

    On Tuesday, they were taken to the Kuje Magistrate Court without their legal team present. The magistrate ordered their remand, and despite granting bail the following day, he allegedly disappeared without endorsing the bail documents.

    Human rights activists have since raised concerns over the treatment of the lawyer and others arrested, accusing security agencies of intimidation and abuse of power.

    However, lawyers and supporters are demanding immediate medical attention and full respect for their legal rights.

  • Benue: Man arrested over fraud case dies in police custody.

    A man identified as Fanen Kpenteman has reportedly died in Police custody in Makurdi, the Benue State capital.

    The deceased’s bank account was allegedly hacked by unknown persons, who used it to scam a Hausa trader at Market in Makurdi.

    Mr Ukan Kurugh, a rights activist who reported the incident on his official facebook page, said when the trader traced the account used to defraud her, she found the picture of the deceased and assumed he was the criminal.

    “She alerted/reported it to the Zone 4 Police Station, who came to his (deceased) workplace and picked him up and then handed him over to OPERATION ZENDA since Friday.

    “From that moment, no one was allowed to see or speak to him.

    “His family and friends were shut out completely.

    “Then the worst happened, news broke that he had died in police custody, tortured to death for a crime he knew nothing about,” Kurugh said.

    The activist said the incident is not a tragic mistake but a case of murder by the police.

    Insisting that it is also a case of injustice and gross abuse of power by the police, he said, “And let me be clear, this is going to be a serious case between me and the men of the Nigeria Police Force, Benue State Command.”

    The spokesperson of the Benue State Police Command, DSP, Udeme Edet, could not be reached to confirm the incident as calls to her mobile telephone were not answered.

  • Primate Ayodele Warns Tinubu: “Nigeria Not Ready for State Police”

    Leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has issued a strong warning to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu against the creation of state police, insisting that Nigeria is not yet prepared for such a security structure.

    Speaking on the matter, the cleric said while the idea may sound good in theory, its management in Nigeria could lead to abuse of power, political manipulation, and conflicts.

    “State Police is good but the management will be bad. Nigeria cannot handle state police. Tinubu don’t try the state police now. You will not succeed, there will be conflict of interest. We are not mature for state police yet. That’s a warning,” Primate Ayodele cautioned.


    He stressed that Nigeria’s fragile system could collapse under the weight of political influence if state police is introduced without proper structures in place.

    While some Nigerians argue that state police could help address insecurity, Ayodele’s words serve as a reminder of the risks of rushing into such a decision.

  • Family Accuses Police of Killing ABU Graduate After Driving Against Traffic.

    Some police officers in Kaduna State have been accused of killing Engineer Abdurraheem Mustapha, a graduate of Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, and postgraduate student at the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA).

    Mustapha, who was also working in Abuja, reportedly d+ed on Friday, 29th August 2025, while on his way to NDA for lectures. According to family sources, “On Friday, 29th August 2025, on his way to NDA for lectures, his life was cut short” in what was described as the “most painful and unjust way near Garkuwa Junction, in Kaduna State.”

    They alleged that a police van knocked down the motorcycle he was riding. His elder brother, Sabiu Mustapha Abubakar, narrated: “He was on a bike on that Friday when the police van which was following one-way came speeding, they h+t him on the head while the bike he was on, was in motion, you know the way they do while clearing way and speeding on a major road.”

    “He sat at the back of the bike, so they hit him with the stick at the back of his head.” Witnesses reportedly intervened, compelling the officers to take him to a hospital.

    Sabiu continued: “The people there insisted that he must be taken to a hospital, that was what made the police personnel take him to hospital. When they saw that the situation was serious, they ran away.”

    At the hospital, it was confirmed that Mustapha died from the impact of the stick blow. “His body did not suffer any bodily h+rm but for the heavy bamboo stick which is popularly called Gora used in hitting him and k+lling him.” The family further alleged a cover-up attempt by the police.

    “The police have tried to cover up the incident, claiming instead that the bike collided with a car but many eyewitnesses deny such claims, it is unfortunate that those meant to protect him killed him.” The incident has fueled fresh concerns about police brutality, abuse of power, and disregard for human rights, despite repeated promises of reform from authorities.

  • Protests Erupt in Lagos After Policeman Reportedly Kills Commercial Motorcyclist, others hospitalized.

    Tension flared on the Ijebu-Lekki-Ajah expressway in Lagos State as angry youths and commercial motorcyclists took to the streets to protest the alleged killing of one of their colleagues by a policeman.

    According to an eyewitness report, the incident happened at night when officers allegedly attempted to seize motorcycles from the riders. “A Nigeria police killed three bike men after trying to steal their bikes from them at night.

    The bike men refused and the police shot them killing one instantly and the remaining two at the hospital,” the eyewitness claimed. The eyewitness also showed the body of a corpse lying inside a car, describing the goriness of the situation. “So sad, so evil,” he said.

    The alleged shooting sparked outrage among residents, with protesters blocking sections of the busy expressway, demanding justice and accountability for the reported abuse of power.

    He explained that one of the reasons behind the Federal Government’s planned launch of a national charter is to promote discipline and instil values across all sectors.

    “One of the reasons the Federal Government would be launching national charter is to instil discipline and values in our daily lives across all sectors. Parents and school administrators should also take serious steps towards cautioning their children and students from immorality, especially in schools,” he added.

    Also speaking at the event, the Osun State Director of NOA, Mr. Adebiyi Stephen, noted that beyond moral orientation, the agency has been working with the state government to sensitize residents in flood-prone areas on preventive measures. According to him, this collaboration aims to mitigate the risk of flooding and safeguard lives and property.

  • Lagos Police Identify Officers In Viral Video Assaulting Motorist Wearing AI Glasses, To Face Sanctions

    The Nigeria Police Force has condemned the conduct of officers caught on video harassing a motorist for wearing AI-powered glasses during a stop-and-search operation in Lagos.

    In a statement released Friday night, the police confirmed that the officers involved had been identified as personnel attached to the Lagos State Police Command.

    The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, has reportedly taken swift action, ordering disciplinary measures against the officers and restructuring of the squad involved.

    “We strongly condemn the actions of some officers captured in a viral video attempting to forcibly remove a pair of glasses from a motorist during a stop-and-search operation, and further assaulting him,” the statement read.

    The Force assured the public that the misconduct does not reflect its professional standards, stressing its commitment to sanctioning errant officers whose actions embarrass the institution.

    The viral video, posted by Objectv Media on Friday, shows an officer questioning the motorist over his AI glasses before slapping him and trying to remove them. Despite presenting his driver’s licence and vehicle papers, the motorist was harassed.

    “Why do you put us on camera?” the officer asked before striking him. The driver protested, insisting he had the right to wear his glasses and questioning why it was a problem for police work.

    The incident has reignited concerns about police brutality and abuse of power in Nigeria. Despite the disbandment of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) after the 2020 #EndSARS protests, many citizens argue that police misconduct and impunity remain widespread.

  • Nigerian Immigration Moves to Deport Five Chinese Nationals Amid Business Dispute, Invalid Papers Allegations

    August 20, 2025 | News

    The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has initiated steps to deport five Chinese nationals detained in Abuja since August 12, 2025, over alleged immigration violations and a business rivalry dispute.

    The men — Zhang Damou, Qian Jin, Lin Jianfeng, Tang Pan, and Guo Zhengheng — are being held at the NIS headquarters in Sauka, along Airport Road. Immigration authorities confirmed they had notified the Chinese Embassy of the arrests.

    While the NIS insists the men were working without valid permits, sources within the Chinese business community allege the arrests were engineered by a rival businessman, Dongfeng, who allegedly bribed senior immigration officials to eliminate competition.

    Key Disputes:

    The detainees claim they hold Permanent Residence Permits or were eligible under the NIS’s July 28 amnesty window for overstayers.

    Immigration officials argue the men had only Temporary Work Permits or no valid documentation at all.

    Allegations of bribery have been directed at Deputy Comptroller General Azuka Halliday, though she has not responded publicly.

    The NIS has denied wrongdoing, with spokesperson Akinsola Akinlabi insisting that only violators of immigration laws were targeted. A senior official described the suspects as “criminals” operating without legal documentation, stressing the amnesty window did not apply to illegal entrants.

    The case has sparked debate over business rivalry, corruption, and immigration enforcement, with critics warning against abuse of power and prolonged detention without trial.

    Bottom Line: Five Chinese nationals face deportation in Nigeria amid a storm of allegations — official claims of invalid papers clash with accusations of corruption and business-driven persecution.

  • Ohanaeze Youth Faction Demands Disbandment of Anambra Security Outfit Over Assault on Female Corps Member

    August 20, 2025 | News

    A faction of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Wing has called on Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo to immediately disband the state’s security outfit, Udo Ga-Achi, after its operatives were filmed assaulting and stripping Jennifer Elobor, a female NYSC member.

    The footage sparked nationwide outrage, with rights groups condemning the brutality.

    In a statement, factional leader Mazi Okwu Nnabuike described the outfit as a “long-standing menace,” citing repeated cases of rights violations, jungle justice, and trial by ordeal. He stressed that civil society groups had long raised alarms about the unit’s excesses without action being taken.

    The group demanded:

    Disbandment of the current outfit.

    Fresh recruitment and training for new operatives.

    Mandatory drug testing for all recruits.

    Public trial of those involved in the assault.

    Compensation for Ms. Elobor from the state government.

  • EXCLUSIVE: Tinubu’s Top Security Aides Implicated in $1.5m Bribery Scandal

    President Bola Tinubu’s Chief Security Officer (CSO), Adegboyega Fasasi, and Chief Personal Security Officer, Usman Shugaba, have been accused of collecting $1.5 million to grant access for embattled NNPC CEO, Bashir Bayo Ojulari, to meet with the President at the Aso Rock Villa.

    Sources told SaharaReporters that the payment was facilitated through Abdullahi Bashir-Haske, Atiku Abubakar’s son-in-law, who is under EFCC investigation for money laundering. Fasasi allegedly issued Villa access tags and promised to lobby the EFCC chairman on Haske’s behalf.

    Investigators said the scandal is part of a broader pattern of bribery at the Presidential Villa, with Fasasi previously accused of collecting $500,000 from a Niger Delta militant in December 2024. Despite past controversies, including a removal order by the DSS in 2024, Fasasi was reinstated amid strong political backing.

    The latest revelations have sparked concerns over corruption and abuse of power within the President’s security circle.

  • ArticlesEnough is Enough: Ogun State is Not a Dictatorship Olushola Babatunde Senbanjo.

    We, the good people of Ogun State, stand in total condemnation of the shameful and anti-democratic actions allegedly perpetrated by Governor Dapo Abiodun in the lead-up to the Ogun State bye-election.

    It is deeply disturbing, unacceptable, and utterly disgraceful that a sitting governor, one who was elected to serve all citizens, regardless of political affiliation, would stoop so low as to threaten the revered traditional rulers of Remo land, warning of their possible dethronement should the APC fail to win the election in their domains.

    Let us be very clear: our royal fathers are not political tools. They are the custodians of our heritage, culture, and identity. Any attempt to coerce, intimidate, or manipulate them for political gain is an affront not just to the Obas themselves, but to every son and daughter of Ogun State.

    This reckless statement, represents a clear abuse of power, a betrayal of democratic values, and an insult to the very institutions that uphold peace and unity across our communities.

    Democracy thrives on free will, transparency, and the sanctity of the ballot box. Elections are not wars to be won by any means necessary, and the people of Ogun State will not sit silently while their voices are hijacked through fear-mongering, coercion, and executive overreach.

    We ask: What kind of leader threatens the throne of our respected Obas just to secure votes? What legacy does Governor Abiodun seek to leave behind, one of intimidation, dishonour, and desperation?

    To the governor, we say this: Power is transient, but the people remain eternal. If you cannot win the hearts of the people through your achievements, then no amount of threats or bullying will save your party at the polls.

    To the royal fathers, we say: Stand strong. The people are behind you. History will not forget those who stood on the side of truth.

  • Ex-Governor Gbenga Daniel Accuses Ogun Governor Abiodun of Targeting His Properties for Demolition.

    Senator Gbenga Daniel, a former Ogun State governor now representing Ogun East, has accused current Governor Dapo Abiodun of targeting him with politically motivated demolition orders against multiple properties in Sagamu.

    On Friday, August 8, demolition notices were posted on Daniel’s private residence (The Asoludero Court), Conference Hotels Limited, and its annexe around 4 PM. The notices cited alleged construction violations and gave just three days’ warning before potential demolition.

    Daniel dismissed the charges as baseless, noting that his properties predate the regulations being cited against them. The Asoludero Court was constructed in 2004, Conference Hotel in 2013, and the annexe in 2015 - all built years before the Ogun State Urban and Regional Planning and Development Law No. 61 of 2022 took effect.

    “This is nothing but clear political persecution,” Daniel stated, criticizing the administration for attempting to retroactively apply new laws to older structures that were legally built under previous regulations.

    The former governor also challenged the legal process, arguing that proper procedures require sequential notifications with adequate time intervals between contravention notices, quit notices, and any demolition threats.

    This latest controversy follows a September 2023 incident where DATKEM Plaza in Ijebu Ode, owned by Daniel’s wife Yeye Olufunke Daniel, was demolished by state officials. That case remains in court, with Daniel claiming the state has lost several applications, suggesting their actions lacked legal foundation.

    Governor Abiodun previously defended the 2023 demolition, stating that no one is above building regulations and that even his own properties would face demolition if they violated codes. The government justified that action by claiming the five-story plaza lacked proper permits.

    Daniel has called for public condemnation of what he terms an abuse of power and vowed to pursue all legal remedies to hold the governor accountable for what he characterizes as lawless actions.

Senator Gbenga Daniel, a former Ogun State governor now representing Ogun East, has accused current Governor Dapo Abiodun of targeting him with politically motivated demolition orders against multiple properties in Sagamu. On Friday, August 8, demolition notices were posted on Daniel’s private residence (The Asoludero Court), Conference Hotels Limited, and its annexe around 4 PM. The notices cited alleged construction violations and gave just three days’ warning before potential demolition. Daniel dismissed the charges as baseless, noting that his properties predate the regulations being cited against them. The Asoludero Court was constructed in 2004, Conference Hotel in 2013, and the annexe in 2015 - all built years before the Ogun State Urban and Regional Planning and Development Law No. 61 of 2022 took effect. “This is nothing but clear political persecution,” Daniel stated, criticizing the administration for attempting to retroactively apply new laws to older structures that were legally built under previous regulations. The former governor also challenged the legal process, arguing that proper procedures require sequential notifications with adequate time intervals between contravention notices, quit notices, and any demolition threats. This latest controversy follows a September 2023 incident where DATKEM Plaza in Ijebu Ode, owned by Daniel’s wife Yeye Olufunke Daniel, was demolished by state officials. That case remains in court, with Daniel claiming the state has lost several applications, suggesting their actions lacked legal foundation. Governor Abiodun previously defended the 2023 demolition, stating that no one is above building regulations and that even his own properties would face demolition if they violated codes. The government justified that action by claiming the five-story plaza lacked proper permits. Daniel has called for public condemnation of what he terms an abuse of power and vowed to pursue all legal remedies to hold the governor accountable for what he characterizes as lawless actions.

  • Lagos Landlord, Tenants Cry Out Over Alleged Police Harassment.

    According to a report by Vanguard Newspaper on Thursday, July 24, 2025, detectives from the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), Alagbon, Lagos, have arrested several police officers accused of providing protection to thugs who attempted to forcibly demolish a warehouse at 50A Industrial Estate, Morrison Crescent, Oregun, Alausa, Ikeja.

    The operation, allegedly initiated at the request of a woman claiming ownership of the property, led to the invasion of the premises last week. Thugs reportedly expelled business occupants, vandalized goods mainly furniture and partially pulled down the warehouse structure before the FCID intervened.

    Addressing journalists on the incident, Mr. Babajide Doherty, co-owner of the warehouse, accused the woman who initially leased the warehouseof resorting to force, deception, and intimidation instead of abiding by the lease terms. According to Doherty, the woman had misled both law enforcement and the judiciary with false ownership claims.

    He explained that the dispute dates back to 2014, when a 50-year Deed of Sublease was signed between the trustees of the late Chief Doherty’s estate and the woman. The lease, structured in five ten-year terms, came with an annual rent of ₦250,000 per acre for the first decade, totaling ₦445,750 per annum for the full 1.795-acre property. Doherty alleged that the lessee paid only ₦250,000 initially and defaulted on the balance, with no subsequent rent payments made.

    He further revealed that the woman illegally sublet portions of the warehouse without consent, leasing to Wow Creamery Limited for \$69 million under a three-year deal and Svengali Designs Limited for ₦25 million on a one-year lease.

    “When we approached the court to revoke the lease, she retaliated with false police petitions and orchestrated thug invasions to disrupt business activities,” Doherty said. “They even presented a different person as the property owner, locked up the premises, removed valuable equipment, and brought in a bulldozer to demolish the roof—clear acts of malicious damage.”

    Doherty emphasized that the legal battle is currently ongoing before Justices M.O. Daudu and O.O. Ogunjobi at the Lagos High Court under Suit Nos. ID/ARR/2860/2024 and LD/4201LM/2023, respectively. He called on the FCID to thoroughly investigate the matter and bring all culprits to justice to prevent further exploitation of innocent Nigerians.

    Tenants affected by the saga also shared their experiences. Mr. Anselem Tabansi, CEO of Svengali Designs Ltd., said he leased part of the warehouse for ₦25 million annually in late 2021 through an agent. Efforts to contact the property owner before payment were unsuccessful, as the agent claimed she avoided direct contact with tenants. However, three months later, he received a legal notice revealing the agent had no authority to broker the lease.

    The incident has drawn attention to the rising concerns over property fraud, abuse of power, and alleged collusion with security forces in land disputes across Lagos.

  • Court detains Scott Iguma for accusing real estate firm of fraud.

    The Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, has ordered the remand of popular activist and influencer Scott Iguma in custody until Monday, July 21, over allegations of criminal defamation against real estate firm, PWAN Group.

    Iguma, who commands a following of over one million on Instagram, was arraigned on Thursday after being arrested on Wednesday at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Yaba.

    Iguma is facing a 10-count charge bordering on false publication and criminal defamation, allegedly made using his social media platform to accuse PWAN of fraudulent real estate practices.

    In a series of posts reportedly made on May 27 and 28, 2025, Iguma claimed that PWAN:

    Collected payments from investors without allocating land,
    Was a company that “sells receipts instead of land”, and
    Allegedly called PWAN’s founder “the leader of the thieves.”
    He also posted:

    “If anything happens to me, PWAN should be number 1 suspect. If anything happens to my family, nuclear and extended, hold PWAN responsible, even if I fall sick, hold PWAN responsible.”

    The Nigeria Police, represented in court by ASP A.O. Nwabuisi, stated that Iguma’s posts were false, inciting, and posed a threat to public order and personal safety. They argued that the content contravened Section 24 (1)(b) and is punishable under Section 24 (2)(ii) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, recently amended in 2024.

    The police claim that Iguma’s online accusations were made with the intent to damage the reputation of PWAN and to incite public hatred and unrest.

    Iguma’s legal team pushes back
    Reacting to his remand, a post on his verified Instagram handle @scott_iguma criticised the Nigeria Police for what it called an abuse of power.

    “The Nigerian Police Force has again towed the path of illegality by detaining our client, Mr Scott Iguma, today for purportedly defaming PWAN,” the statement read.

    The statement further argued that:

    Defamation is no longer a criminal offence in Lagos State, following the 2011 Lagos State Criminal Law which decriminalised it.
    The police have no legal basis to detain Iguma over the civil matter.
    The case is an example of “using law enforcement for intimidation.”

    The post also alleged that PWAN had influenced the police, claiming:

    “PWAN used the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Yaba Panti, to detain Scott Iguma.”

    The court adjourned the matter to Monday, July 21, 2025, for hearing on Iguma’s bail application and further proceedings.

  • BREAKING: Seven Police Officers Detained Over Welfare Talks Now Charged With Mutiny — DIG Tells Sowore

    Seven Nigerian police officers arrested for discussing poor welfare conditions are now facing mutiny charges, according to Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Benjamin Okolo. Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore, who attempted to visit the officers at the Force Intelligence Department (FID) in Abuja, condemned the development as a targeted move to suppress internal dissent within the police.

    The officers, including Inspector Bode Emoruwa, were reportedly detained for expressing concerns about pensions and working conditions in a WhatsApp group. Emoruwa was arrested on July 4 in Ondo State and held in solitary confinement before being transferred to Abuja. Two other officers, also administrators of the WhatsApp group, have been in custody for over two weeks.

    Sowore said the police refused to disclose the officers' whereabouts and denied access to legal representatives. He described the FID premises as deliberately dark and unwelcoming, adding that senior officers gave evasive responses and dodged questions.

    The arrests are allegedly linked to a planned nationwide police protest on July 21, 2025, which has gained momentum among both retired and serving officers. Sowore accused the police of illegal detention and abuse of power, vowing to continue pushing for the officers' release and insisting the protest will go on.

    “These officers are being punished for demanding better welfare and dignity,” Sowore said. “Their courage should inspire others. Injustice within the police threatens justice for all.”

  • Sometimes I am overwhelmed by the weight of it all - the injustice, the silence, the violence. I am just one person in a country of millions, but I cannot stay silent. I will not be complicit in the oppression of my people.

    I am tired, but I am not defeated. I will continue to fight for what is right, even when it is difficult and dangerous. I will use my voice to demand change, to protect human rights, and to speak out against corruption and abuse of power.

    I am not naive. I know that the road to justice is long and fraught with challenges. But I also know that the future belongs to those who dare to dream and to fight for a better world. I believe in the power of youth to create change, and I am proud to be a part of this movement.

    Silence is a kind of violence, and I will not be silent. I will continue to use my words and my actions to make a difference, no matter how small it may seem. I will stand up for what is right, even when it is not easy. Because this is my country, and these are my people. And I refuse to be silent.
