Court Issues Arrest Warrant for Miss Universe Co-Owner

A Thai court issued an arrest warrant for Anne Jakapong Jakrajutatip, the co-owner of Miss Universe, following fraud allegations linked to a $930,000 investment dispute with a plastic surgeon. The court said she invited the plaintiff to invest in JKN Global Group despite knowing she couldn’t repay the money. Jakapong failed to appear in court as the verdict was scheduled, with officials considering her actions an attempt to flee. The judgement is now set for December 26, 2025. Jakapong’s company, JKN Global, co-owns Miss Universe and has been mired in financial controversies, including share delisting from the Stock Exchange of Thailand due to accounting issues.

Prison Looms for Brazil’s Bolsonaro After Court Rejects His Appeal

Brazil’s far-right former president Jair Bolsonaro faces imminent prison after Supreme Court judges unanimously rejected his appeal against a 27-year sentence for masterminding a failed coup following his 2022 election loss to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro, convicted in September, was found guilty of plotting to prevent Lula from taking office, with prosecutors alleging the scheme included plans to assassinate Lula and a Supreme Court judge—a plot averted due to lack of military support. With this latest decision, Bolsonaro’s legal team has only five days to file a final appeal, which can be swiftly quashed by lead judge Alexandre de Moraes. Once the final judgment is published—expected as early as next week—a warrant for Bolsonaro’s arrest will likely be issued the same day. The sentence, already reduced for age, was based on Bolsonaro’s role in instigating a violent […]

Ghana jails Nigerian man 10 years for trafficking sister, nine others

A Ghanaian court has sentenced a 29-year-old Nigerian man, Chukwudi Nwachukwu, to 10 years in prison for trafficking his younger sister and nine other girls from Nigeria to Ghana for prostitution. The victims, aged between 15 and 18, were deceived with promises of restaurant jobs but were forced into sex work upon arrival in Ghana. One of the victims was Nwachukwu’s own sister. Prosecutor Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Isaac Babayi told the court that the case began when Chief Calistus Eloziepuwa, a member of the Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation (NIDO) in Ghana, reported the incident and helped rescue the victims. According to Babayi, on June 7, 2024, the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit (AHTU) of the Ghana Police Service received a report from the Nmai Dzorn Police Station that Nwachukwu had been arrested and the victims freed.

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 […]

 Court Orders Receivership of Nestoil Assets in Loan Dispute

A Federal High Court in Lagos has granted an order for a consortium of lenders to take control of assets belonging to Nestoil Limited, a major Nigerian oil and gas company. The court order, issued by Justice D. I. Dipeolu, is connected to a loan dispute reportedly worth about $1 billion. The lenders, represented by First Trustees Limited and FBNQuest Merchant Bank, sought the order to secure the assets while the dispute is being resolved.

The injunction covers Nestoil Limited, its affiliate Neconde Energy Limited, and other associated parties. Following the court's decision, enforcement officers and police sealed Nestoil's corporate headquarters on Victoria Island, Lagos.

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.

Nigerian Man Jailed in UK for Impersonating Female Nurse

A Nigerian man, Lucius Njoku, has been given a suspended prison sentence in the UK for fraudulently working in a hospital by impersonating a female nurse. Njoku, 33, used the identity of his friend, Joyce George, to work several shifts as a healthcare assistant at the Countess of Chester Hospital. He wore her NHS badge, which had her photograph, for two months before a patient confronted him about his identity. The court heard that the real nurse, Joyce George, had allowed Njoku to do her shifts under her name. She has since fled the UK, and a warrant has been issued for her arrest. Njoku admitted to fraud by false representation. He was sentenced to 16 weeks in prison, suspended for 12 months, and ordered to complete 80 hours of unpaid work. The judge condemned his actions for undermining crucial […]

Court Stops Nigerian Govt From Deregistering Youth Council NYCN

A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the Nigerian government to halt its plan to deregister the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN). The order stops the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and the Ministry of Youth Development from withdrawing the council's certificate of registration until a legal dispute is resolved. The case was filed by the NYCN's President, Amb. Sukubo Sara-Igbe Sukubo, after the Ministry announced the council's deregistration on October 7th, despite his recent re-election. Justice B. F. M. Nyako gave the order on October 15, 2025, directing all parties to "maintain the status quo." This means the NYCN will continue to operate as normal for now, and its leadership remains recognized. The court has instructed the defendants—the CAC and the Youth Ministry—to be formally notified of the lawsuit. The case has been adjourned to October 28, 2025, […]
