Lawyer Confessed To Killing Husband, Police Tell Court
Forty-eight-year-old Udeme is standing trial for allegedly stabbing her husband, Symphorosa Otike-Odibi, to death at their residence on Diamond Estate, Sangotedo, Lagos State.
Punch Metro had reported that Udeme was also alleged to have mutilated the corpse of her husband after killing him.
The offences were said to contravene sections 165 (b) and 223 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.
At Wednesday’s proceedings, Bamidele, the final prosecution witness, while being led in evidence by the Lagos State Director of Public Prosecutions, Titilayo Shitta-Bay, said he was the head of the team that investigated the killing and that he personally recorded the defendant’s statement.
He noted that the second time he met Udeme, she was in protective custody at a police hospital in Ikeja after she had been moved from the Safeway Hospital in Lekki, adding that it was during an interactive session at the hospital that Udeme wrote a detailed confessional statement.
He said the defendant was recuperating from what one of the doctors attending to her described as “superficial and self-inflicted wounds,” adding that she spoke freely after identifying herself as a lawyer.
Bamidele stated, “While she was writing her statement, it was an interactive session. I put questions to her; she would explain the answers to me and put them down in writing. She stated in her statement that she was married to the late Symphorosa and that they had marital issues.
“She stated that the deceased was having extramarital affairs and that whenever she raised the issue with him, his responses were not satisfactory and he appeared nonchalant. She also said in the statement that on May 2, 2018, when she was preparing to travel to the United Kingdom, she checked the bedside locker for her marriage certificate but she could not find it and when she went to the deceased on the bed and asked him about it, there was no response.
“She had a discussion with him and there was a hot exchange of words, which made her to go to the kitchen and get a frying pan and knife. When she returned to where the deceased was, she hit him on the head with the frying pan and said: ‘Tell me, what is in your mind that you are withholding.’
“She stated that the deceased called his mother to report her conduct. She continued to hit the deceased on the head again and again. Finally, she confirmed that she used the knife to stab the deceased in his abdomen.
“She also said that while the deceased was lying on his back, she was still angry. She sat beside him, looking at his intestines coming out and said: ‘If this your penis is the one that is giving you the licence not to have the feeling for another person, it’s better we cut it off,’ and she proceeded to do so with the same knife she used in stabbing him, and hung a piece of the penis in his right hand.”
Bamidele further told the court that after the incident, Udeme sent her close friend, Maureen Offor, a WhatsApp message which read: “I have done something terrible.”
He added that further investigation showed that she sent two other WhatsApp messages to the husband of the deceased’s younger sister, Charles Akpoguma, which read: “Just pray for us. May God forgive,” and to her mother in Calabar the same night, stating, “Sorry mum, we engaged in a fight.”
Shitta-Bay also tendered through Bamidele several exhibits recovered from the defendant.
The exhibits included a big shiny frying pan allegedly used by the defendant on the deceased; a blood-covered kitchen knife allegedly used in killing Symphorosa; a bloodstained pen; four phones, two of which were bloodstained; and Udeme’s Nigerian and British passports.
When Shitta-Bay sought to tender the two statements allegedly made to the police by Udeme, her counsel, Olusegun Banjoko, opposed her.
, after showing the statements to his client, prayed the court not to admit them, on the grounds that they were made without her lawyer being present as required by law.
Justice Akintoye adjourned the matter till February 25 to consider the admissibility of the statements in a trial within trial.

Power-Drunk DPO Breaks Lagos Carpenter’s Hand
Punch Metro gathered that Akinboye, in company with Mr Rasaq Balogun and Mrs Modupe Ojediran, had gone to the station on Monday to recover six dozens of chairs that were seized during a raid by police operatives on Sunday following a clash by suspected cultists in the Ijora-Badia area of the state.
It was learnt that the clash resulted in the death of a suspected cult member, simply identified as Tansho, while Akinboye, who runs a rental business as a side trade, was said to be packing the chairs he had rented out to Balogun, when the policemen confiscated the chairs.
Akinboye said Odutona, who never gave him an opportunity to explain himself at the station, used a baton to beat him repeatedly till his hand and leg got fractured.
The carpenter said, “I rented chairs to Balogun, whose daughter, Tawakalitu, was celebrating her freedom from a tailoring school on Sunday. The ceremony took place on Akorede Street; it was supposed to start around noon but due to the rain, the event started late and ended around 7pm.
“I was packing my chairs from the venue of the ceremony when the police operatives from the Ijora-Badia Division raided the area, packed my chairs into their vehicles and took them to their station.
“I quickly informed Mr Balogun about the raid and he told me to wait till the next day (Monday) so that we could go to the station together to meet with the DPO in order to retrieve the chairs. When we got to the station, we were accosted by an officer, who asked why we were there and we explained that we needed to see Odutona because of the chairs.
“When the officer asked who owned the chairs, Mr Balogun and his daughter’s boss, Modupe Ojediran, said I was the owner. So, the officer took me to Odutona and told him that I was the owner of the seized chairs.
“Immediately he saw me and without giving me a chance to explain what happened, he started using his baton to beat me. He beat me repeatedly; I begged him to hear me out but he never listened. He kept on beating me till my left hand and leg got fractured; after the assault, he pushed me out of the station and I landed on the floor. I lost my Tecno phone and the sum of N80,000 in the process.
“I could not walk nor use my hand; the traders outside the station saw how I was bundled out. It was Mr Balogun and Mrs Ojediran, who got a vehicle that took me to a local bone setter, who has been attending to my hand and leg.”
Akinboye, who is demanding justice for the assault on him by Odutona, said he had already spent about N25,000 on treatment and had been suffering intense agony.
The bone setter, Taiwo Oyetakin, confirmed the fracture of the hand and leg, saying, “The injury will take time to heal because the bones on the left hand and leg were fractured.”
Punch Metro learnt from Balogun and Ojediran that the DPO turned down a request to meet with him to clarify issues after he allegedly assaulted Akinboye, adding that he (Odutona) drove them out of his office on the excuse that someone was killed in the area.
Balogun said, “He (Odutona) never gave us a chance to explain that the man (Akinboye) that he assaulted was the one from whom I rented the chairs for my daughter’s freedom ceremony. I had received a call from Akinboye, who informed me that 30 minutes after we finished the ceremony, he was packing the chairs when police operatives raided the area, because someone had died during a fight in the area.
“I and Ojediran witnessed what the DPO did to Akinboye, and when we went to his office to clarify issues, he drove us out, saying what were we looking at when hoodlums killed someone in the area. Where they killed the person was not where my daughter’s ceremony took place; he had no reason to subject that man (Akinboye) to such assault.
“The DPO said we should do whatever we like and that is why I want those in authority to know what he has done; he should be removed and prosecuted for his action.”
The state Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Chike Oti, said Odutona had denied the allegation, but added that the state Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, had ordered a probe into the matter.

Faces Of Notorious Armed Robbers Operating In Army Uniform
Parading the men, the state Commissioner of Police,
Mr. Fimihan Adeoye, said the suspects were residing in Lagos but usually sneaked into the state to rob and return to Lagos after every successful operation.
He said the suspects were arrested during the operation, through a joint effort of men of the command from Ile Ife, and members of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria.
The suspected robbers, John Daniel, Emmanuel Irem, Stephen James, Monday John, Abayomi Samson and Samuel Egbe, who dressed in army uniforms, confessed to committing the crime.
When responding to questions from newsmen, the leader of the gang, Stephen James, said he got military uniforms from an abandoned building in a military cantonment in Lagos.
James said he recruited other members of the gang from a slum in Ijora, Lagos, adding that they began robbing passengers on Osogbo/Ilesha Road, using fake rifles in August last year.
Meanwhile, one Yekini Ayinde also known as Abija believed to have masterminded the killing of a rice dealer, Sanusi Isiaka, in Osogbo on May 14, 2007, was also paraded.
The Osun police boss said Yekini was on the watch list of the police for two years until last week when he was apprehended in Lagos.
Adeoye said, “Isiaka, a rice dealer, who had earlier supplied the suspects 500 bags of rice, was lured from Saki in Oyo State to Osogbo by Yekini Ayinde.
“Yekini then contracted others and took the Isiaka to a secluded place along Osogbo/Iwo Road where he was killed. One of those that Yekini contracted also beheaded the deceased and use his head for money rituals. We have apprehended two of those people that assisted Abija to perpetrate the crime.”
The police boss declared that all the suspects would be arraigned before the court as soon as police conclude the investigation into their crimes.

Oby Ezekwesili Withdraws From 2019 Presidential Election
The presidential candidate of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN) will now devote her time “to help build a coalition to defeat the All Progressives Congress and the People’s Democratic Party in the February 16, 2019 election”,
Ozioma Ubabukoh, the spokesperson of the Obiageli Ezekwesili Presidential Campaign Organisation, said in a press statement.
It is still unclear who the former minister of education will support, but she previously tried to get the trio of Kingsley Moghalu, Omoyele Sowore and Fela Durotoye to agree on a consensus candidate among themselves.
After Durotoye emerged in a ballot, the other candidates refused to step down and Ezekwesili herself joined the race.
Her decision to quit followed “extensive discussions with Nigerians at home and the Diaspora”.
“This decision followed extensive consultations with leaders from various walks of life across the country over the past few days. I deem it necessary for me to focus on helping to build a veritable coalition to ensure a viable alternative to the #APCPDP in the forthcoming
elections,” Ubabukoh said.
Ezekwesili was quoted as saying: “It is my ardent belief that this broad coalition for a viable alternative has now become more than ever before, an urgent mission for and on behalf of Nigerian citizens. I have therefore chosen to lead the way in demonstrating the much needed patriotic sacrifice for our national revival and redirection.
“I wish to state that over the past three months, I have been in private, but extended talks with other candidates to birth a coalition that would allow Nigerians to exercise their choice without feeling helplessly encumbered by the evil twins of #APCPDP.
“While the deliberations continued, I never hesitated for a moment in my willingness and determination to sacrifice my candidacy in order to facilitate the emergence of the envisaged strong and viable alternative that Nigerians could identify with in our collective search for a new beginning.
“My commitment to this promising political recalibration has been consistent and in consonance with my agreement, at the request of candidates under the Presidential Aspirants Coming Together (PACT) arrangement in 2018, when I consented to supervise the internal selection process as an outside observer passionate about building an alternative force.
“However, despite resistance from the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria on these and other issues, I have decided that it is now necessary to show by action and example my determination on this issue by stepping down my candidacy so as to focus squarely on building the coalition to a logical conclusion.
“We have no right to allow citizens give in to despair. We will #Fight4Naija together and prove to all that the mess, which the political class has now become, should not be allowed to destroy our spirits and nation. We are also determined to ensure that the message keeps resonating that our beloved country deserves better, and that we will get the best that we deserve.

We are also determined to ensure that the message keeps resonating that our beloved country deserves better, and that we will get the best that we deserve.
“From last year, when I joined the presidential race, I made it clear to Nigerians that the country has always had a 20-year cycle of change – 1958, 1979, and 1999. As such, 2019 begins another 20-year cycle, and together with all Nigerians of good will, I stand ready to play my part to ensure that we do not miss this golden opportunity to sing a new song. There is no more time to waste. Let’s get to work!”
Ubabukoh thanked Nigerians who supported Ezekwesili, saying that “every money donated to the campaign and funds spent will be accounted for in the coming days.”

Despite Killings Buhari Says He Has Restored Peace In Borno, Yobe ...PDP Reacts
The opposition said the governor wouldn't be crying if there was peace.
Buhari made the claim while addressing the All Progressives Congress supporters at the party’s presidential rally at Giginya Stadium, Sokoto, the Sokoto State capital.
Obasanjo, had in an interview with the BBC Yoruba on Tuesday, lamented that Boko Haram insurgents were deadlier than they were before the present administration.
He also criticised Buhari’s economic policy, saying foreign investors were shunning the country.
But in Sokoto on Wednesday, Buhari said the mammoth crowd at the APC rally in Borno State on Monday was a proof of the success of his government in the area of security.
He stated, “When I came here in 2015 to campaign, I promised three things, to fight corruption, stop insurgency and to improve our economy. Today we can all see the results of the three.
“The unprecedented crowd that welcomed us in Borno was a testimony to the fact that we have done well in the area of security.
“The country has witnessed bumper harvest in the last two years, signifying that our economic policy is working.
“On corruption, I would not relent in fighting the menace. I assure you whoever is found wanting would be dealt with accordingly.”
Borno gov wouldn’t have come to Abuja crying if security was good –PDP
In response to Buhari’s claim that he had achieved security in the North-East, the Peoples Democratic Party said that the President was merely talking politics.
The National Chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, who spoke to one of our correspondents, said there was no way the Governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima, would have visited Abuja crying over the deplorable security situation in his state if things were working well.
Secondus said Buhari must have also forgotten that farmers in the North-East and North-Central had been crying over their inability to return to farm because of the insecurity in their areas.
He asked Nigerians to hold the President responsible for the killings of innocent Nigerians in the country.
He said, “Nigerians saw the governor of Borno State when he cried openly at the Presidential Villa over the deplorable security situation in his state.
“He said the situation was becoming unbearable and that people were being killed anyhow. Has the President forgotten that so soon?

“People came to see the President and waved at him to say goodbye. They came to see a man who promised so much but couldn’t deliver a little. They came to see a man who said he would make life better but has succeeded in making life miserable to them.
“Wives in Borno have become widows and he thinks they are happy? Truly, the President was never aware.”

Power-Drunk Lagos DPO Breaks Man's Leg, Hand (Photos)
What led to a senior officer engaging in such reckless act?
It was gathered that Akinboye, in company with Mr Rasaq Balogun and Mrs Modupe Ojediran, had gone to the station on Monday to recover six dozens of chairs that were seized during a raid by police operatives on Sunday following a clash by suspected cultists in the Ijora-Badia area of the state.
It was learnt that the clash resulted in the death of a suspected cult member, simply identified as Tansho, while Akinboye, who runs a rental business as a side trade, was said to be packing the chairs he had rented out to Balogun, when the policemen confiscated the chairs.
Akinboye said Odutona, who never gave him an opportunity to explain himself at the station, used a baton to beat him repeatedly till his hand and leg got fractured.
The carpenter said, “I rented chairs to Balogun, whose daughter, Tawakalitu, was celebrating her freedom from a tailoring school on Sunday. The ceremony took place on Akorede Street; it was supposed to start around noon but due to the rain, the event started late and ended around 7pm.
“I was packing my chairs from the venue of the ceremony when the police operatives from the Ijora-Badia Division raided the area, packed my chairs into their vehicles and took them to their station.
“I quickly informed Mr Balogun about the raid and he told me to wait till the next day (Monday) so that we could go to the station together to meet with the DPO in order to retrieve the chairs. When we got to the station, we were accosted by an officer, who asked why we were there and we explained that we needed to see Odutona because of the chairs.
“When the officer asked who owned the chairs, Mr Balogun and his daughter’s boss, Modupe Ojediran, said I was the owner. So, the officer took me to Odutona and told him that I was the owner of the seized chairs.
“Immediately he saw me and without giving me a chance to explain what happened, he started using his baton to beat me. He beat me repeatedly; I begged him to hear me out but he never listened. He kept on beating me till my left hand and leg got fractured; after the assault, he pushed me out of the station and I landed on the floor. I lost my Tecno phone and the sum of N80,000 in the process.
“I could not walk nor use my hand; the traders outside the station saw how I was bundled out. It was Mr Balogun and Mrs Ojediran, who got a vehicle that took me to a local bone setter, who has been attending to my hand and leg.”
Akinboye, who is demanding justice for the assault on him by Odutona, said he had already spent about N25,000 on treatment and had been suffering intense agony.
The bone setter, Taiwo Oyetakin, confirmed the fracture of the hand and leg, saying, “The injury will take time to heal because the bones on the left hand and leg were fractured.”
The Punch learnt from Balogun and Ojediran that the DPO turned down a request to meet with him to clarify issues after he allegedly assaulted Akinboye, adding that he (Odutona) drove them out of his office on the excuse that someone was killed in the area.
Balogun said, “He (Odutona) never gave us a chance to explain that the man (Akinboye) that he assaulted was the one from whom I rented the chairs for my daughter’s freedom ceremony. I had received a call from Akinboye, who informed me that 30 minutes after we finished the ceremony, he was packing the chairs when police operatives raided the area, because someone had died during a fight in the area.
“I and Ojediran witnessed what the DPO did to Akinboye, and when we went to his office to clarify issues, he drove us out, saying what were we looking at when hoodlums killed someone in the area. Where they killed the person was not where my daughter’s ceremony took place; he had no reason to subject that man (Akinboye) to such assault.
“The DPO said we should do whatever we like and that is why I want those in authority to know what he has done; he should be removed and prosecuted for his action.”
Tawakalitu’s brother, Yusuf, while condemning Odutona’s alleged action, said where the clash that led to the death of the suspected cultist took place was about 600 metres away from the venue of his sister’s freedom ceremony.
It was gathered that Akinboye, in company with Mr Rasaq Balogun and Mrs Modupe Ojediran, had gone to the station on Monday to recover six dozens of chairs that were seized during a raid by police operatives on Sunday following a clash by suspected cultists in the Ijora-Badia area of the state.
It was learnt that the clash resulted in the death of a suspected cult member, simply identified as Tansho, while Akinboye, who runs a rental business as a side trade, was said to be packing the chairs he had rented out to Balogun, when the policemen confiscated the chairs.
Akinboye said Odutona, who never gave him an opportunity to explain himself at the station, used a baton to beat him repeatedly till his hand and leg got fractured.
The carpenter said, “I rented chairs to Balogun, whose daughter, Tawakalitu, was celebrating her freedom from a tailoring school on Sunday. The ceremony took place on Akorede Street; it was supposed to start around noon but due to the rain, the event started late and ended around 7pm.
“I was packing my chairs from the venue of the ceremony when the police operatives from the Ijora-Badia Division raided the area, packed my chairs into their vehicles and took them to their station.
“I quickly informed Mr Balogun about the raid and he told me to wait till the next day (Monday) so that we could go to the station together to meet with the DPO in order to retrieve the chairs. When we got to the station, we were accosted by an officer, who asked why we were there and we explained that we needed to see Odutona because of the chairs.
“When the officer asked who owned the chairs, Mr Balogun and his daughter’s boss, Modupe Ojediran, said I was the owner. So, the officer took me to Odutona and told him that I was the owner of the seized chairs.
“Immediately he saw me and without giving me a chance to explain what happened, he started using his baton to beat me. He beat me repeatedly; I begged him to hear me out but he never listened. He kept on beating me till my left hand and leg got fractured; after the assault, he pushed me out of the station and I landed on the floor. I lost my Tecno phone and the sum of N80,000 in the process.
“I could not walk nor use my hand; the traders outside the station saw how I was bundled out. It was Mr Balogun and Mrs Ojediran, who got a vehicle that took me to a local bone setter, who has been attending to my hand and leg.”
Akinboye, who is demanding justice for the assault on him by Odutona, said he had already spent about N25,000 on treatment and had been suffering intense agony.
The bone setter, Taiwo Oyetakin, confirmed the fracture of the hand and leg, saying, “The injury will take time to heal because the bones on the left hand and leg were fractured.”
The Punch learnt from Balogun and Ojediran that the DPO turned down a request to meet with him to clarify issues after he allegedly assaulted Akinboye, adding that he (Odutona) drove them out of his office on the excuse that someone was killed in the area.
Balogun said, “He (Odutona) never gave us a chance to explain that the man (Akinboye) that he assaulted was the one from whom I rented the chairs for my daughter’s freedom ceremony. I had received a call from Akinboye, who informed me that 30 minutes after we finished the ceremony, he was packing the chairs when police operatives raided the area, because someone had died during a fight in the area.
“I and Ojediran witnessed what the DPO did to Akinboye, and when we went to his office to clarify issues, he drove us out, saying what were we looking at when hoodlums killed someone in the area. Where they killed the person was not where my daughter’s ceremony took place; he had no reason to subject that man (Akinboye) to such assault.
“The DPO said we should do whatever we like and that is why I want those in authority to know what he has done; he should be removed and prosecuted for his action.”
Tawakalitu’s brother, Yusuf, while condemning Odutona’s alleged action, said where the clash that led to the death of the suspected cultist took place was about 600 metres away from the venue of his sister’s freedom ceremony.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Chike Oti, said Odutona had denied the allegation, but added that the state Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, had ordered a probe into the matter.
Oti stated, “He (Odutona) denied the allegation, saying that was not what happened. He confirmed that the police actually raided a criminal hideout in that location and arrested a number of people, some of whom had been charged to court. He said it was strange that somebody would be making that kind of allegation against him.
“However, the attention of the state Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, has been drawn to the incident and he has ordered a probe into the allegation made against the DPO. The commissioner has promised that the matter would be diligently investigated and the outcome made public after the conclusion of the investigation.”

Falana Speaks On CJN: Presidency Shouldn't Be In A Hurry & Engage In Jungle Justice
You described the charges against the CJN as illegal, saying he ought to be reported to the NJC. If the CJN is taken before the NJC do you think that the outcome will be objective?
Since fidelity to the rule of law does not allow the government to resort to self-help, the rights and obligations of every citizen (including the CJN) must be determined in accordance with the law.
The government cannot be so much in a hurry to engage in jungle justice in the trial of the Chief Justice or any other citizen. Hence, I had advised the Federal Government to withdraw the petition and refer the case to the National Judicial Council. Until the decision of the Court of Appeal in Nganjiwa’s case is overruled by the Supreme Court the Code of Conduct Bureau is legally obligated to report judges who either made false declaration or failed to declare their assets to the NJC.
A couple months ago, the case of the Federal Republic of Nigeria v. Justice Ngwuta instituted by the Code of Conduct Bureau was struck out by the Code of Conduct Tribunal on the authority of Nganjiwa v Federal Republic of Nigeria. To the best of my knowledge the Code of Conduct Bureau has not filed any appeal against the decision.
Of course, it is not in dispute that the NJC is headed by the CJN but that does not preclude aggrieved parties from reporting allegations of misconduct against His Lordship to the NJC. If the NJC has to consider any allegation of misconduct against the CJN, His Lordship cannot preside over the meeting or the proceedings in line with the elementary tenet of natural justice which is that he cannot be the judge who will determine his own case. The principle is known as nemo judex in causa sua. Many Nigerians have quickly forgotten that when Justice Ayo Salami, former President of the Court of Appeal, accused the former Chief Justice, the late Justice Aloysius Katsina-Alu, of perverting the course of justice in the appeal arising from the Sokoto State governorship election petition in 2011 the Chief Justice had to recuse himself from presiding over the proceedings of the NJC on the matter.

Even though the NJC hastily suspended Justice Salami for embarrassing the judiciary the complaint was eventually resolved in his favour. At the end of the marathon inquiry the NJC recommended the reinstatement of Justice Salami but the recommendation was ignored until the respected jurist retired when he attained the mandatory age of 70 years. It is on record that the Salami/Katsina-Alu imbroglio substantially eroded public confidence in the nation’s judiciary.
It is therefore interesting to note that the particular political party and members of the legal profession who prevailed on President Goodluck Jonathan not to recall Justice Salami in line with the recommendation of the NJC have suddenly become the defenders of the independence of the judiciary in Nigeria.
However, in view of the fact that the CJN has reacted to the allegation in writing the NJC, if given the opportunity, will have no choice but to decide the matter speedily in the interest of the judiciary and the country. Since this is a matter of public interest I have no basis to doubt the objectivity of the NJC in handling the matter.
Do you think the charges against the CJN might be a plot by the ruling party to have control of the judiciary against the coming elections?
I do not know the basis for the speculation. It is on record that Justice Walter Onnoghen, along with Justice Adesola Oguntade and Justice Aloma Muktar, who later became the first female Chief Justice, delivered a dissenting judgment in favour of candidate Muhammadu Buhari in the Buhari/Yar’Adua presidential election petition in 2007. If the ruling party wins the forthcoming presidential election, the Supreme Court cannot afford to annul it.

If the ruling party wins the forthcoming presidential election, the Supreme Court cannot afford to annul it.
Frankly speaking, the Onnoghen-led judiciary is not ideologically antagonistic to the Buhari administration. In fact, in prosecuting the anti-corruption agenda of the Buhari regime, the judiciary has largely collaborated with the executive.
For example, when the National Assembly refused to pass the bill for the establishment of an anti-corruption court the Chief Justice suo motu directed all heads of courts to create special judicial divisions to hear corruption cases alone. The special judicial divisions have been established and they are working in the respective high courts. Even both the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal have set up special panels to hear corruption matters. No doubt, a couple of important cases have been lost by the Buhari regime in recent time but it is not an expression of ideological disagreement. Ours is not like the Supreme Court of the United States of America whose decisions are largely anchored on political considerations.

I Refused To Bribe Buhari's Minister, I Was Sacked - Ex-TETFund Boss Opens Up
He said Adamu accused him of corruption and speaking to the press without permission.
President Buhari fired Baffa on Tuesday and immediately replaced him with Suleiman Bogoro, the agency’s former executive secretary.
In an interview with BBC Hausa Service, Baffa said it was not the first time the minister asked the president to relive him of his duty.
“On Friday night, I was informed at the Presidential Villa that the minister of education came with a letter reporting me to the president,” he was quoted as saying.
He said he had learnt of his removal as well as of the “unfounded” allegations levelled against him from presidency sources.
According to him, “I asked what was my offence? They alleged that the offences were inaccessibility, insubordination and speaking to the press without the minister’s permission.
“Allegation of inaccessibility is unfounded as the minister knows that I spend more time in the ministry as his technical aide than in my TETfund office.”
He said the termination of his appointment did not surprise him because of the misunderstandings he has had with minister, over issues of requesting bribe.

Nigerian Man Posing As A Lady To Defraud People Online Nabbed
According to the EFCC, the defendant was said to have present himself as Erika Stiller, a female, to unsuspecting victims on the Internet.
One of the counts reads: "That you, Balogun Sultan (a.k.a Erika Stiller), on or about the 29th November, 2017 at Lagos, within the Ikeja Judicial Division, with intent to defraud, had in your possession documents containing false pretence titled "Picture from Erika" from Erika Stiller by sending pictures to mark65243@yahoo.com and printed from your e-mail box, erikastiller231@gmail.com, erikastiller231@gmail.com".
Another count reads: "That you, Balogun Sultan (a.k.a Erika Stiller), on or about the 13th April, 2018 at Lagos within the Ikeja Judicial Division, with intent to defraud, had in your possession documents containing false pretence titled "Grant FMT" Re Money" from Erika Stiller by sending a letter printed from your e-mail box, erikastiller231@gmail.com".
He, however, pleaded not guilty when the charges were read to him.
In view of his plea, the prosecution counsel, C.R. Edozie, asked the court for a trial date and prayed the court to remand the defendant in prison custody pending the determination of the case before the court.
In his response, the prosecution counsel told the court that though he had been served with the bail application, he would need time to go through it.
Consequently, Justice Solebo adjourned the matter to February 5, 2019 for hearing of the bail application and also remanded the defendant in Kirikiri prison custody.

Shocking Story Of Hospital In Warri, Delta State
In a recording of their experience, which they shared with SaharaReporters, they were seen lamenting the absence of government at the hospital, the children clinic being the worst hit.
Some of the patients highlighted the number-one challenge of the hospital as lack of power supply.
Speaking on the appalling situation, one of them, Lucky Iyoghosa, who was visiting the hospital to see a friend’s daughter on admission, described the state of the hospital as "absurd" and "nonsense.
“This is Warri Central Hospital. This is absurd," he said. "This is the children’s clinic, no light. Do we really have a government in this place?”
He questioned the management of the hospital and the Chief Medical Director for failing to provide a conducive environment for patients.
A mother who brought her one-month-old son for treatment in the hospital confirmed the situation, adding that the hospital does not even have a drug store.
She added that patients also sleep on the floor due to inadequate space and beds.
“I have been here since last week and they have always been asking for money. There hasn't been supply of electricity to the hospital since I was here," he said.
The patients urged the government to find a permanent solution to the state of facilities at the hospital, stressing that power supply has to be prioritized in returning the hospital to full working state.

I Will Pay 100,000 Minimum Wage If Elected President Sowore Promises
Sowore made the pledge at a town hall meeting tagged: ‘The Candidates’ organised by the MacArthur Foundation in collaboration with NTA and DARIA media in Abuja.
He said that his administration would address the menace of ghost workers by installing technologies that would daily capture fingerprints of workers and the hours spent at work.
He also said that he would ensure leakages were effectively blocked and would enthrone proper management of resources in the country if elected.
The AAC presidential candidate said that his administration would ensure efficient collection of taxes, and that there would be no sacred cows.
According to him, most companies in Nigeria collect tax from workers but do not remit to the government, while others are under remitting.
On power supply, Sowore said when elected, he would bring in solar panels that would generate up to 4500 megawatts of electricity across the country in less than a year.
