Appeal Court strikes out Nnamdi Kanu’s rights violation case

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has struck out an appeal by convicted IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, ruling that his case alleging violations of fundamental rights by the Director General of the DSS and the Attorney-General of the Federation lacked merit and had become academic. The court held that Kanu’s complaint could no longer stand following his November 20 conviction for terrorism offences by a Federal High Court and his subsequent life imprisonment and remand in prison custody.​ In the lead judgment, Justice Boloukuromo Moses Ugo said that once Kanu’s counsel, Maxwell Opara, confirmed that his client was now held at Sokoto prison, the request to be moved from the DSS facility to Kuje prison was no longer one the appellate court could grant. The judge added that Kanu had previously indicated a preference for prison custody, so his prayers […]

Fire razes shops in Anambra market

An early morning fire has destroyed several shops and goods worth millions of naira at a market in Enugu-Ukwu, Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State. The blaze occurred around Nkwo Enugu-Ukwu market in the early hours of Friday, leaving affected traders counting their losses.​ Eyewitnesses said the fire started before dawn and quickly spread through a block of adjoining shops.

Tinubu declares security emergency backs state police

President Bola Tinubu has declared a nationwide security emergency and backed the creation of state police as Nigeria confronts rising attacks, mass abductions and banditry.
