Nigerian Catholic Priest Convicted of Sexual Assault in US

Father Anthony Odiong, a Nigerian Catholic priest, has been found guilty on all counts of sexual assault in a Texas court, exposing him to a possible life sentence in prison. A jury in McLennan County, Waco, Texas, convicted the former priest on three felony counts of sexual assault after several women accused him of sexual and financial abuse. Under Texas law, it is a crime for clergy to engage in sexual activity with individuals who depend on them emotionally as spiritual advisers. Odiong served as a priest at St. Peter Catholic Student Center in Waco, Texas, and at St. Mary's Church of the Assumption in West, Texas, from 2007 to 2012. He later served in Luling, Louisiana, from around 2015 to 2023, where he is now suspended from ministry. The charges relate to alleged actions in Texas more than 15 […]

UK jails Nigerian man for life over ex girlfriend’s murder

A UK based Nigerian man, Adedapo Adegbola, has been sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering his former girlfriend after she ended their brief relationship.​ Adegbola fatally stabbed 23 year old care worker Stephanie Irons in the neck at her home in Mapperley, Nottinghamshire, on 21 October. Nottingham Crown Court heard he had become obsessed with her and carefully planned the attack.​ The court was told that Adegbola bought two knives on 15 October, then travelled to her address six days later, where he stabbed her multiple times, delivering a fatal wound to her neck.​ Judge Nirmal Shant said Adegbola’s controlling behaviour had driven Irons to end the relationship, but he refused to accept her decision. The judge ordered him to serve a minimum of 25 years in prison before he can be considered for parole.​ Prosecutor Peter Joyce said Adegbola […]

Heavy Security at Sokoto Prison Over Nnamdi Kanu’s Arrival

Security has been heightened around the Sokoto Custodial Centre after the transfer of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), following his life sentence on terrorism charges in Abuja. The court ordered his relocation to a “protective prison” due to previous prison breaks at Kuje. His lawyers and family confirmed the move, expressing concern about his safety and ability to consult with legal counsel. Eyewitnesses observed an unusual presence of armed personnel, with trucks of soldiers entering the premises. The Nigerian Correctional Service confirmed Kanu was in custody but would not confirm his exact location. Igbo leaders and groups—including Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the Igbo National Council, and MASSOB—have rejected Kanu’s life sentence as unjust, calling for presidential intervention and warning that the judgment may fuel further insecurity and radicalisation in the South-East. The Minister of State for Foreign […]

IPOB Rejects Nnamdi Kanu’s Life Sentence, Cites Lack of Legal Basis

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has rejected the Federal High Court’s judgment sentencing its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, to life imprisonment for terrorism. IPOB argues Kanu’s advocacy constitutes lawful self-determination, not terrorism—calling the conviction unconstitutional and unsupported by Nigerian law. Spokesperson Emma Powerful stated no arms, explosives, or attack plans were ever linked to Kanu, and stressed that self-determination is protected under international rights conventions. IPOB referenced Section 36(12) of the 1999 Constitution, which mandates that only offenses defined in written law can result in conviction. The group said the judgment failed to meet legal standards and ignored precedent from higher courts. Kanu’s broadcasts and directives on Radio Biafra led to charges, but IPOB insists on international monitoring and calls for a UN-supervised referendum. The group promises continued peaceful advocacy and a detailed legal response.
