AGF Says Senator Natasha Violated Law in Akpabio Case

The Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) has defended its decision to file defamation charges against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, stating her actions violated the Penal Code. The charges were initiated following complaints from Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello. The case relates to public statements made by the senator, including an allegation of an assassination plot against her. Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, who pleaded not guilty after being arraigned in June, filed a preliminary objection seeking to dismiss the charges. She argues that the AGF is abusing its prosecutorial power. In a newly filed counter-affidavit, the AGF's office urged the court to reject this objection. It stated that the charges were filed in the public interest after a police investigation and are consistent with Nigerian law. The prosecution alleges the senator made "harmful imputations," claiming […]

Court Adjourns $42m Fraud Case Against Briton, Indians

A Federal High Court in Lagos has postponed the trial of a British national and two Indian businessmen accused of a $42.48 million international trade fraud. Justice Akintayo Aluko set the new date of January 27, 2026, for the case to continue. The adjournment was granted because neither the prosecution nor the defendants were present in court. The defendants—Marcus Wade (British), Prem Garg, and Devashish Garg (Indian)—along with their companies, Wilben Trade Limited and Agrico Agbe Limited, are facing charges filed by the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation. They are accused of conspiring in 2015 to obtain $42.48 million under false pretenses. The funds were meant for the importation of Indian parboiled rice into Nigeria, but prosecutors allege the money was diverted for other purposes. The case has experienced multiple delays, largely due to the foreign defendants' failure […]

Why I won’t defend FG’s charge against me – Nnamdi Kanu

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has announced that he will no longer defend the seven-count terrorism-related charge brought against him by the Federal Government, describing the case as “invalid and unlawful.” At the resumed hearing before the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday, Kanu, who previously chose to represent himself after disengaging his legal team, told the court that he found no valid charge in the case file that warranted a defence. Kanu said, “Having reviewed the entire case, I discovered there is no valid charge to defend. Since I am being subjected to an unlawful trial, I see no reason to defend myself or call witnesses.” Following this declaration, the IPOB leader withdrew his earlier request for the court to summon several high-profile individuals as witnesses, including Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo […]

Isoko communities threaten to stop oil operations over unpaid development funds

Communities in Isoko land, Delta State, have threatened to shut down oil operations in their area over the failure of oil companies to release funds meant for community development as required by the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) 2021.

Under the PIA, oil companies are mandated to allocate three percent of their annual operating expenditure (OPEX) to host communities through the HCDTs. Of this fund, 75 percent […]
