Judge steps down from EFCC cases against Malami

Justice Obiora Egwuatu has withdrawn from two cases filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission against former Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami. He said he was recusing himself for personal reasons and in the interest of justice.​ Egwuatu had only recently received the matters after they were reassigned to him by the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho. He announced his withdrawal shortly after a civil forfeiture suit on 57 properties allegedly linked to Malami was called.​ The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the cases were previously before Justice Emeka Nwite, who handled them as a vacation judge during the Christmas break. The files are expected to be sent back to the Chief Judge for reassignment to another judge.​

DSS witness: Rescued Abuja Kaduna train victims petitioned Tukur Mamu

A Department of State Services investigator has told the Federal High Court in Abuja that several victims rescued from the 2022 Abuja Kaduna train attack submitted written complaints against alleged terrorist negotiator Tukur Mamu.​ The operative, who testified as the sixth prosecution witness and gave evidence behind a screen for security reasons, made the disclosure while being cross examined by Mamu’s lead counsel, Johnson Usman, SAN. Asked if any of the rescued victims, including the wife of the Commandant in Jaji, lodged complaints against Mamu, he replied in the affirmative and confirmed the complaints were in writing.​ DSS lawyer David Kaswe urged the court to stop the defence from asking questions that might reveal the identities of victims or witnesses, reminding the court that an order for their protection had been granted. Usman argued that none of the names he […]

Senator Natasha breaks silence on FG’s withdrawal of criminal charges

Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan has reacted to the Federal Government’s decision to withdraw the criminal charges earlier filed against her over alleged defamation and cyber related offences. The Kogi Central lawmaker said the move vindicates her long standing claims that the case was politically motivated and aimed at silencing her.​ Court documents show that the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation filed a notice of discontinuance on December 12, 2025, effectively ending the case marked FHC/ABJ/CR/195/2025 at the Federal High Court in Abuja. The charges stemmed from petitions by Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi governor Yahaya Bello after Natasha alleged during a TV interview that her life was being threatened.​ Senator Natasha thanked Nigerians, civil society groups and her constituents for standing by her throughout the legal battle. She maintained that public office holders must be […]

Alleged Cybercrime: Judge’s Absence Stalls Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s Trial

The trial of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, facing six counts of alleged cybercrime, was postponed at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday as Justice Mohammed Umar was absent. The adjournment shifts proceedings to February 4, 2026. Previous hearings were delayed due to defense objections and protests demanding the release of Nnamdi Kanu. Akpoti-Uduaghan stands accused of transmitting false and injurious electronic information, allegedly inciting violence and maligning political figures, including claims against the Senate President and the former governor of Kogi State. The case falls under the Cybercrimes Amendment Act 2024, with ongoing disputes over court jurisdiction, the nature of prosecutorial powers, and witness statement procedures.

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 […]

Confusion Over Court Ruling on Police Tinted Glass Permit

Confusion surrounds a recent Federal High Court ruling on the Nigerian Police's tinted glass permit policy. While a human rights lawyer announced the court had ordered the police to "maintain status quo," the police have countered this claim. The dispute began when lawyer Inibehe Effiong shared parts of a court order from Warri, which he said restrained the police from enforcing the new permit requirement. However, the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, stated the police had not been officially served and highlighted a different part of the same order. That section, Point 8, shows the court refused the applicant's three main requests for an interim injunction to stop the policy's enforcement entirely. This has led to conflicting public interpretations of the legal situation. While the police clarify their position, the ruling has been welcomed by many who see […]
