Adeyemi Adegoke Olumide in a recent opinion article had claimed that the IPOB leader has plans of changing his legal team.
Ifeanyi Ejiofor, lawyer to the leader of the Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has denied reports that Kanu has disbanded
his legal team.
Ejiofor spoke on Wednesday debunking the fake news.
According to Ejiofor, Kanu has no intention to reshuffle his legal
team handling the terrorism charge filed against him by the federal
government.
This comes after one Adeyemi Adegoke Olumide in a recent opinion
article had claimed that the IPOB leader has plans of changing his legal
team.
Olumide stated that Kanu’s intention is to due to trust issues.
Ejiofor while denying the claims in a statement said Kanu was “visibly shocked to the marrow by the news”.
He said the IPOB leader has an “unshaken and absolute confidence in his legal team” and appreciates the efforts of the members.
Ejiofor further stated, “At no time did he ever contemplate,
nor did it ever cross his imagination to reshuffle his legal team.
Neither did he ever discuss with anybody, nor any member of his legal
team or relatives, that he wanted to reshuffle or disband his legal
team.
“That the narrative desperately being pushed by the 5th
columnists, was aimed at defaming, disparaging, embarrassing, provoking
and frustrating his erudite Lead Counsel – Prof. Ozekhome, SAN, into
abandoning him, on the purported premise that the offending publications
were hatched by Onyendu.
“Onyendu reiterated his unshaken and absolute confidence in his
legal team ably led by Prof. Mike Ozekhome, SAN, and further stated
that he deeply appreciates the untiring and unmatchable efforts of Prof.
Ozekhome SAN, towards securing his unconditional release from the
dungeon of the DSS, having been discharged, and his further detention
prohibited by the Court of Appeal since the 13th day of October 2022.
“That he is constantly in touch with Prof. Ozekhome, SAN, on
every routine visit, on the update in his cases, which updates he
usually received through my humble self, or the legal iroko himself.”
Adegoke in the opinion article further stated that the news of Kanu’s failing health is “propaganda” to gather sympathy.
The writer said pictures from the IPOB leader’s court hearing counter the narrative of ill health.
The article reads, “He looks well-kept, plump, and healthy.
Worst for the liars, no foreign visitor, privileged to see Kanu, had
come out to say he looked bad.”
Ejiofor in reaction to the claims Drsaid his client is battling a “rapid depletion in his potassium level” and the condition “is copiously verified on oath”.
He said Kanu is also due for “surgery on his left ear” but accused
the Department of State Services (DSS) of failing to allow him to
undergo the procedure.
Ejiofor said, “We respectfully wish to clarify that Onyendu
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s deteriorating health condition, with particular
reference to the rapid depletion in his potassium level, is not within
the realm of speculation in the social media platforms.
“It is a fact copiously verified on oath, and which formed the
integral component of court processes, which are pending before the
Supreme Court and Federal High Court respectively.
“That the DSS agent provocateur who operates by the fictitious
name Adeyemi Adegoke Olumide, should confirm from his principal why the
DSS failed to carry out the recommendation of their in-house medical
doctor, Dr. Nasir Folarin, who booked Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for surgery on
his left ear in November 2022.” |

Nigerians Have Every Reason To Celebrate Buhari – Garba Shehu
Tony Gists The Developer Releases His first Mobile Gaming android Application. Download from Play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tony.gists1application | ||||
Shehu made the statement on Thursday when he appeared on Arise Television’s Morning Show program.
![]() The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media, Garba Shehu
has said Nigerians have every reason to celebrate President Muhammadu
Buhari over his performance in the past eight years.
According to him, Buhari has done reasonably well.
He also said Buhari’s government had done so much to take Nigerians
away from the excessive heat that has accompanied Covid and the
Ukraine-Russia war.
Shehu made the statement on Thursday when he appeared on Arise Television’s Morning Show program.
He insisted that the global crisis of cost of living is not
confined alone to Nigeria, adding that other economies are also
suffering the effects.
”Let me say to you that as a government, we believe we have
done reasonably well. We have delivered on all of the major promises
that this administration had made prior to coming to office. And these
things are key issues of security. We know what this country was like
when we came in. This country was split into two; we had a caliphate
carved out of this country by Boko haram with a flag of their own, a
system of administration, with their own system of taxation and all of
that; 17 of 27 Local Councils in Borno State were in that republic. All
of that has changed, so don’t say we have not achieved anything.
”And when you mentioned all of these things about inflation,
look, please understand that there is a global crisis going on, a global
crisis of cost of living that is simply not confined alone to Nigeria.
Everyone is involved, whether it is arising from things that emanated
from the covid crisis. We know what it has done; the entire economies of
the world, everyone, perhaps China, had gone into negative numbers in
terms of development.
”And then one of the things about the Ukraine and Russia war,
with all of its implications for us here, whether it is fertilizer and
agriculture or fuel that we import from part of the world, is happening
to everyone. And I tell you this country, when you compare this with
what is happening in West Africa, in the entire continent, I think
Nigerians have every reason to celebrate this administration. We have
not done as badly as everyone has done; in fact, this government has
done so much in order to take Nigerians away and remove us from the
excessive heat that has accompanied these crises, Covid in particular
and Ukraine – Russia war,” he said. |

Naria Redesign: Disobedience To Court Could Trigger Anarchy, ACF Warns Buhari
Tony Gists The Developer Releases His first Mobile Gaming android Application. Download from Play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tony.gists1application | ||||
In
a statement, ACF’s Secretary General, Murtala Aliyu, agreed with the
state governors, who sued the Federal Government over the policy.
The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has issued a new warning. The ACF warned that the continuous disobedience to the supreme court judgment regarding the use of the old naira notes could lead to the breakdown of law and order. In a statement, ACF’s Secretary General, Murtala Aliyu, agreed with the state governors, who sued the Federal Government over the policy. He said the current approach of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) raises concerns about the respect for the civil liberties and rights of Nigerians as it relates to their freedom to use legitimately earned income as they so wish. He argued that, “Whatever the CBN or anyone else says about the benefits of the policy, which evidently are many, is of little comfort as soon as the highest court in the country has deemed that it is, or, at least the manner of its implementation, breaches the law. “Ten days is long enough time for the government to find its way
towards complying with a court order which is central to the achievement
of peace, order and good governance in the country. President Buhari is
under oath to defend the constitution of Nigeria. As his long term
supporters, it will be remiss of us if we fail to warn that the much
touted benefits of the Naira redesign can never justify the damage to
his credentials as a democrat and a stickler for the rule of law. “This is quite a part from the real possibility of the crisis
morphing into a serious social disorder leading to the possible
breakdown of law and order throughout Nigeria. We do not believe nor can
we advise him to pay such a heavy price on account of a policy whose
immediate goals are not entirely clear to a majority of Nigerians,” He, however, lamented the huge crowds and long queues formed around bank offices and ATM points across the country “as people struggle to get the new cash which has remained extremely scarce, which has triggered riots and other forms of civil unrest.” |

The
Osun State government had been informed that commercial banks in the
state were declining deposits of the old currency even after paying
customers with the same old notes.
Ademola Adeleke, the Osun State Governor, has called out to the Central Bank of Nigeria. The governor, on Sunday decried the maltreatment of residents of the state by banks which refused to collect old N500 and N1,000 notes. The Osun State government had been informed that commercial banks in the state were declining deposits of the old currency even after paying customers with the same old notes. A statement signed by the governor’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, lamented the pains and suffering of the people of Osun State over the action of the banks. The governor revealed that he was aware of the many complaints of the citizens over banks’ refusal of old naira deposits and the attendant negative consequences of such action in society. “I have received several calls from bank customers across the
state. The deliberate refusal of banks to collect old notes is creating
serious economic complications for residents of the state. For the banks
to issue old notes and refuse to accept old notes as deposits is highly
unacceptable. “I have consequently called on the Central Bank of Nigeria to direct the banks operating in the state to correct the anomalies. The State Director of the CBN is specifically requested to direct the banks to halt this unhealthy practice,” Adeleke stated. While calling for a stop to the pain inflicted on the people of the state, Gov Adeleke maintained that if banks will not accept old notes as deposits, they should stop issuing the same old notes for withdrawal. DAILY POST reported in February that Adeleke had warned commercial banks operating in the state against hoarding the new naira notes and rejecting the old currency. On March 3, 2023, the Supreme Court in a judgment directed the Federal Government to extend the deadline for the spending of the old N200, N500 and N1,000 till December 31, 2023. However, one week after, the imbroglio of the naira persists. |

The removal of the name of Idu Onyiloyi, Labour Party (LP) Deputy governorship candidate for Benue State from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)’s list, has been ordered by a Federal High Court, Abuja.

However, delivering the judgment today, Justice Ekwo said he had found that the evidence of the Plaintiff (Adejor) in the case was credible. He said, “I find that the plaintiff has proved its case by credible evidence and is entitled to judgement in his favour and I so hold.” The judge, however, declared that Adejor was the valid candidate for the LP’s deputy governorship position for the Benue State election, having been validly nominated as candidate for the position following the voluntary withdrawal of Onyiloyi. He also gave an order of perpetual injunction restraining INEC from further publishing or accepting Onyiloyi’s name or any other person other than Adejor as the candidate representing LP for the office of the deputy governorship of Benue at this year’s general election. |

Most Wanted Nigerian Woman Extradited To Italy (Photo)
Tony Gists The Developer Releases His first Mobile Gaming android Application. Download from Play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tony.gists1application | ||||
According to reports, she employed the use of violence and threats to keep her victims in line.
![]() The most wanted Nigerian woman has been extradited to Italy.
The 48-year-old Nigerian woman has been identified as Jeff Joy.
She was one of the few women on Italy’s 100 most wanted criminal list.
Joy had been on the list of the 100 most dangerous fugitives since
2010 and had a leading role in the illegal transporting of Nigerian
girls to Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain so they could be initiated
into prostitution.
According to reports, she employed the use of violence and threats to keep her victims in line.
Joy had been sought after since 2010 for charges of criminal
conspiracy, enslavement, trafficking in people, exploitation of
prostitution and other offenses. She has been sentenced to 13 years in
prison in absentia by the Italian authorities.
The successful extradition was made possible due to the excellent
collaboration between both countries, with the Italian Immigration
Expert providing support to the local police forces.
The extradition marks a unique event in relation to Italy and
Nigeria as it was the first case since the extradition treaty came into
power in 2020.
The process started immediately following her arrest on June 4,
2022 in Nigeria by local intelligence departments. Subsequently, on
February 10, the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the
Federation, Abubakar Malami, informed Italy’s ambassador to Nigeria, Mr.
Stefano De Leo, that Joy would be handed over.
This event serves as critical evidence for how Africa is becoming
an influential area for searching fugitives and fighting against
organised crime.
It also proves that Italy is determined to take control at an
international level by creating penal and administrative processes to
track down Mafia assets for confiscation.
The police force’s central director Vittorio Rizzi also expressed his enthusiasm for this development.
“Today, Africa is confirmed as a strategic area for the search
for fugitives and the fight against organised crime. Developing African
countries also represent elective places for the laundering of the
illicit capital of organised crime and Italy is committed at an
international level to facilitate, through penal and administrative
instruments, the tracing of the illicit assets of the mafias for their
seizure and confiscation,” Italian news media, agenzianova, quoted
the European country’s Deputy Director General of the Department of
Public Security and Central Director of Criminal Police, Vittorio Rizzi,
as saying. |

After
the three-man panel of the court had listened to the parties, Justice
Joseph High adjourned ruling on the matter till Wednesday.
The Court of Appeal, Abuja has fixed Wednesday to consider the merit of the application the Independent National Electoral Commission filed to be allowed to reconfigure the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, used for the just concluded presidential election. After the three-man panel of the court had listened to the parties, Justice Joseph High adjourned ruling on the matter till Wednesday. Obi and LP, through their team of lawyers led by Onyechi Ikpeazu,
SAN, said the essence of the application was to enable them to extract
data embedded in the BVAS, “which represent the actual results from Polling Units.” They equally applied to obtain the Certified True Copy of all the data in the BVAS. “My lords, this is to ensure that the evidence is preserved before the BVAS are reconfigured by INEC. This is because if they are wiped out, it will affect the substance of the case,” Ikpeazu, SAN, added. However, INEC, through its team of lawyers comprising four Senior Advocates of Nigeria, SAN led by Mr Tanimu Inuwa, urged the court to refuse the application. INEC insisted that granting the request by Obi and LP would affect its preparations for the impending governorship and state assembly elections. It told the court that there are about 176, 000 BVAS that were deployed to polling units during the presidential election. “Each polling unit has its own particular BVAS machine which we need to configure for the forthcoming elections. “It will be very difficult for us, within the period, to reconfigure the 176, 000 BVAS. “We have already stated in our affidavit that no information in
the BVAS will be lost as we will transfer all the data in the BVAS to
our backend server “We need the BVAS configured. So, granting this application will be a clog in the process and may delay the conduct of the elections,” INEC’s lawyer, Inuwa, SAN, pleaded. |

Naira Crisis: HURIWA Calls For Buhari’s Resignation

The group demanded an end to the economic and monetary policy under Buhari, “as it has already caused imaginary inflation.”
The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria has sent a message to President Muhammadu Buhari. The group asked Buhari to turn in his resignation letter to prevent the collapse of the economy because of the challenges arising from the naira redesign policy. In a statement signed by the group’s Executive Director, Emmanuel Onwubiko, on Tuesday, HURIWA slammed Buhari and the Governor of the Central Bank, Godwin Emefiele, for deserting Nigerians in the middle of a cash crunch crisis, adding that both the president and the CBN governor had impoverished Nigerians, and put the country on “autopilot.” “The CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele and President Muhammadu Buhari
have sadly impoverished Nigerians with a needless naira redesign policy
that they used as a political tool against their opponents. “Alas! Nigeria is in on autopilot mood. The Supreme Court makes a
judgment, President Buhari took off for a globetrotting gambit in
Qatar, while the CBN governor maintained sealed lips as millions of
Nigerians wallow in an excruciating cash crunch. If President Muhammadu
Buhari is God fearing and is a statesman as he claims, then he had
better turn in his resignation letter immediately to stave off the
imminent economic collapse of Nigeria under his watch.” Recall that Buhari, in a national broadcast, had directed the apex bank to release old N200 notes into circulation, to co-exist with new N200, N500, and N1,000 banknotes for 60 days to end on April 10, 2023, while stating that old N500 and N1,000 banknotes ceased to be legal tender in Nigeria. However, the apex court on Friday, after hearing a case filed by sixteen state governors, led by the governors of Kaduna, Kogi, and Zamfara states, praying the apex court to void and set aside the policy, on the ground that it was inflicting hardships on innocent Nigerians, voided the president’s declaration as well as the naira redesign deadline issued by the CBN. The group said the president and the CBN governor had left Nigerians confused, and commercial banks directionless, as to whether to follow the Supreme Court order, or the declaration of the president that old N500 and N1,000 notes are no longer valid and that old N200 will stop being a legal tender on April 10, 2023. “The President and the CBN governor have left Nigerians confused
with their posture, and now the country is on an autopilot mood as
commercial banks are directionless as to whether to follow the Supreme
Court order, or the declaration of the President that old N500 and
N1,000 notes are no longer valid, and that old N200 will stop being a
legal tender on April 10, 2023.” HURIWA also alleged that the president, who is also the Minister of Petroleum, had left motorists in long queues across the country, to be extorted by criminally minded petroleum products distributors, noting that the masses suffered the brunt of the needless political wars between Emefiele and his political detractors in the ruling All Progressives Congress. The group demanded an end to the economic and monetary policy under Buhari, “as it has already caused imaginary inflation.” |

The
traders in Nyanya, Karu, Mararaba and Masaka Markets were not accepting
electronic transactions, as observed by the News Agency of Nigeria, on
Tuesday.
In spite of the cashless policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria, some grain traders in suburban markets in the Federal Capital Territory are rejecting electronic transactions from customers. The traders in Nyanya, Karu, Mararaba and Masaka Markets were not accepting electronic transactions, as observed by the News Agency of Nigeria, on Tuesday. According to the traders, they are buying the commodities directly from the rural farmers who are not involved in any form of electronic banking transactions. Mrs Kadijat Ibrahim, a trader at Nyanya Market, said although the number of her customers was reducing, she would continue to demand cash for her goods. She said, “I have a bank account but because I cannot also
transfer money to the people I buy from, I won’t accept such a mode of
transaction. Though I am losing a lot of customers. “I don’t accept transfer or Point of Sale transactions because we buy our grains from local farmers and we pay them cash, because they don’t do any form of electronic banking. “The local farmers at the bush markets where we buy our products can only sell their grains to you if you have cash.” Also, another grain trader at the Mararaba Market, Mr Ismaila Abu said he does not accept any form of electronic transactions for his goods. “I use a little capital for my business and I wouldn’t want it to be held in any bank. “I need my cash at hand, so that I can purchase the products that will keep my business going. “I do not have a bank account, but I cannot go and open one now. I will wait until all this stress in banks is over,” he said. However, a grain trader at the Garki Market, Mr Ayo Ade appealed to the CBN to make cash available for citizens engaged in small businesses, for sales to improve. | ||||

Police
says the conceived ideas and plans by certain individuals, electorates,
and groups of people to go to the polls accompanied by pets are
unacceptable.
![]() The Nigeria Police Force has informed the general public that
bringing pets, especially, dogs, at the polling units on election day is
a criminal offence.
Police said the act is condemnable and runs contrary to the provisions of the Electoral Act, 2022, as amended.
A statement released today March 7, by the spokesperson of the
police force, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, says the provision of Section 126
(1) of the Electoral Act. 2022, explains clearly those actions exhibited
by electorates that constitute electoral breaches and are punishable
under the law. He went on to say that paragraph (f) mentioned the
possession of weapons calculated to intimidate voters and electoral
officers.
‘’Dogs could be classed as offensive weapons as their
owners/handlers can use them to intimidate, harass and cause assault and
bodily harm to others. The Dogs Act, CAP 55 Laws of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria 1958 as domesticated in various States, and other
Criminal Laws in Nigeria are trite.
The conceived ideas and plans by certain individuals,
electorates, and groups of people to go to the polls accompanied by pets
are unacceptable, stand discouraged, and remain an act of electoral
infraction as it will cause harassment and intimidation.
The Nigeria Police Force, therefore, warns those who intend to
display their pets, dogs specifically, for whatever purpose, at the
polling units, to desist as such constitutes a violation of the
electoral Act, 2022, as amended, and other extant laws.'' the statement in part reads |

Election Results: I’m Ashamed of Being Nigerian – Bode George

George
described the incoming government of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as darkness,
berating the people congratulating the former Lagos State governor.
![]() A former military governor of Ondo State, Bode George has said he's ashamed to be called a Nigerian.
This is as he described last Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly election as shambolic.
The former chairman of the Nigerian Ports Authority, NPA, said that
the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC,
lifted the hopes of Nigerians with the promise that last Saturday’s
polls would be conducted electronically but failed at the last minute.
Bode George, the national vice-chairman in the South West zone of
the Peoples Democratic Party, described the incoming government of Bola
Ahmed Tinubu as darkness, berating the people congratulating the former
Lagos State governor.
“The Chairman of INEC promised the whole world that we are
going to have a new beginning and Mr President himself signed the new
electoral bill. They completely encouraged Nigerians that this time
around that we’ll be doing like the civilised world that from the
polling units, the results would be transmitted to their server.
“I was miffed, shocked that at that very hour, on that D-Day,
he had the temerity to tell [us] there were hitches in the technology.
It’s absolutely shambolic, disgraceful and not accepted. For God’s sake,
when will Nigerians have the will to tell the truth? When will Nigeria
come out of these nonsensical things?
“This is unacceptable for God’s sake. People are talking,
hailing and congratulating, congratulating what? That was the way we’ve
done elections in the past and it has not helped this country. Now
they’re throwing in the same bad eggs to manage the resources of the
country.”
Lamenting that “we cannot continue in this darkness that doesn’t make any sense,” George said: “People
were now manipulating results and that is what you’re hailing? We’re
going into darkness and people are clapping? I’m ashamed to be a
Nigerian. The Almighty God will not accept it. If you build your house
on a faulty foundation it is a matter of time before it collapses. We
are definitely not fools.” |
