Court jails driver, orders ₦3m payment for damaging FRSC vehicle

An Abuja High Court has sentenced Mr. Yusuf Baba to three months imprisonment or a fine of ₦50,000 for dangerous driving and ordered him to pay ₦3,190,000 as compensation for damages caused to a patrol vehicle belonging to the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and other impounded cars. The incident occurred on June 10, 2025, under Dantata Bridge, Abuja, when FRSC operatives flagged Baba down during a Mobile Court session for overloading.

He was later arrested at a filling station along CITEC Road and charged with dangerous driving and assaulting a Marshal on duty. Delivering judgment on October 29, 2025, the court found Baba guilty of dangerous driving, convicted, and sentenced him accordingly, while discharging him […]

NASU accuses govt of neglecting workers welfare

The Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions (NASU) has accused the Federal Government of playing politics with the welfare of Nigerian workers. The union said officials often provoke strikes through neglect and insincerity, only to punish workers for exercising their rights. Speaking at the opening of NASU’s National Executive Council meeting in Abuja, the General Secretary, Prince Peters Adeyemi, criticised the government’s frequent threats to apply the “No Work, No Pay” policy. He described the move as a deliberate attempt to intimidate workers and criminalise legitimate union activities. Adeyemi said such behaviour exposes the government’s double standards and undermines industrial peace and workers’ confidence. He explained that unions only embark on strikes after the government repeatedly fails to honour agreements and ignores collective bargaining processes. “Union leaders are not irrational individuals who declare strikes for fun. Strikes are […]

A Magistrate Court in Kuje, Abuja, has granted bail to activist Omoyele Sowore, Nnamdi Kanu's lawyer Aloy Ejimakor, and 11 others who were arrested during a protest demanding Kanu's release.

Police Arrest Activist Sowore at Abuja Court Premises

Activist and politician Omoyele Sowore was arrested by armed policemen on Thursday within the premises of the Federal High Court in Abuja. The arrest occurred shortly after he attended a court session in solidarity with the detained IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu. Police officers stated they were acting on the instructions of the Commissioner of Police and took him to the FCT Police Command. The Force Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, later explained that the arrest was linked to a protest Sowore led on Monday. Hundeyin stated that Sowore was arrested as the alleged leader of the protest to ensure "fairness," as others involved had already been charged. He assured that Sowore would be arraigned quickly and not detained beyond the legal limit. Sowore's lawyer condemned the arrest, calling it a mockery of the judicial system.

Heavy Security in Abuja as #FreeNnamdiKanu Protest Looms

A massive security lockdown was imposed in Abuja on Monday due to a planned protest demanding the release of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu. Security forces, including soldiers, police, and DSS operatives, sealed off major routes leading to the Presidential Villa and the city center. This caused significant traffic disruptions for commuters entering the Federal Capital Territory. Key areas like the Three Arms Zone, Eagle Square, and the National Assembly were under heavy guard. The measures were so strict that even staff with official clearance to the Presidential Villa were denied entry and forced to use alternative routes. The protest was organized by activist Omoyele Sowore. Nnamdi Kanu has been in detention since 2021, despite court orders for his release, with his supporters citing concerns over his health.

Wike Condemns Police, Vows Law After Demolishing Illegal Estate

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has strongly criticized the Nigerian Police Force for defying urban planning laws, leading to the demolition of its own multi-million naira housing estate. The illegal estate, located in the Gudu district of Abuja, was built directly under high-tension power lines and on land reserved for a future bridge. The FCT Administration demolished the nearly-completed project on Thursday after the police developers ignored multiple warnings and continued construction without approval. During a visit to the site, a visibly concerned Wike described the situation as "unfortunate" and a clear public safety risk. He emphasized that no institution is above the law. "The development control said no. There’s no way they would grant approval... They asked them to stop, they refused to stop," Wike stated. He confirmed that police officers had arrested FCT […]
