Supreme Court Backs President’s Power On Emergency Rule And Temporary Suspension Of Elected Officials

The Supreme Court has upheld the President’s constitutional power to declare a state of emergency in any state where there is a threat of breakdown of law and order or a slide into chaos and anarchy. In a majority decision of six to one delivered on Monday, the court ruled that such a declaration can include suspending elected officials, provided the suspension is for a limited time and strictly tied to restoring normalcy.​ Delivering the lead judgment, Justice Mohammed Idris held that Section 305 of the Constitution empowers the President to deploy extraordinary measures once emergency rule is proclaimed. He noted that the section does not specify the exact nature of those measures, giving the President discretion on how best to stabilise the affected state.​ The case arose from a suit by Adamawa State and 10 other Peoples Democratic Party […]

Israel Lifts State of Emergency for Communities Near Gaza

Israel has officially ended the state of emergency for areas near the Gaza border for the first time since the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. Defense Minister Israel Katz announced the decision on Monday, stating it was based on a recommendation from the Israeli military. The move reflects a "new security reality" in southern Israel, coinciding with a ceasefire that has largely held since October 10. The state of emergency had granted special powers to authorities to maintain public order and ensure the safety of civilians in communities up to 80 kilometers from the Gaza border. This is the first time these restrictions have been lifted in the region in over two years. The same emergency framework was temporarily expanded to all of Israel in June 2025 during a period of heightened tensions with Iran.

Wike Criticizes Emergency Rule in Rivers State, Says He Wanted Fubara’s Outright Removal

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has expressed dissatisfaction with President Bola Tinubu’s decision to impose a state of emergency in Rivers State. Speaking during a media parley in Abuja on Friday, Wike revealed that he had advocated for the outright removal of Governor Siminalayi Fubara instead of the current intervention. Last month, President Tinubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers State, citing persistent political instability and escalating security threats, including pipeline explosions. The president suspended Governor Fubara, Deputy Governor Ngozi Odu, and all members of the House of Assembly for six months. In their place, Vice Admiral Ibas was appointed as sole administrator to oversee the state’s affairs pending resolution of the crisis—a move that has sparked nationwide debate. Wike, who served as the immediate past governor of Rivers State, stated that while he was […]
