A Ghanaian woman died in an accident while allegedly speeding to catch her "cheating" husband. According to reports, the deceased had been reliably informed that her husband had been seen with another woman. As she rushed off to catch him in the act, she had an accident.

F ormer Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said that he made an error while calling for more youths to be drafted into the Nigerian Army in a bid to adequately tackle the nation’s security challenges.  While advocating for national employment and giving an inference for a security policy that could stem the tides of insurgency, Tinubu asked the Federal Government to recruit 50 million youths into the Nigerian Army. Addressing guests on Monday at the 12th colloquium organised in his honour, the Asiwaju stated that the recruitment move will help restore peace within troubled regions and stop miscreants from recruiting young people to do their biddings. The former Senator has however stated on Tuesday that contrary to comments made at the colloquium in Kano where his 69th birthday was celebrated, his intended recommendation was to have fifty thousand (50,000) youths recruited into various national security agencies, including the Nigeria Police Force and the Nigerian Army

ADP & Emmanuel Iboi v. lNEC & 4 Ors. Tribunal' Judgment. Second issue for determination: held that the 3rd Respondent (Godwin Obaseki) did not present either false or forged documents to the 1st Respondent (INEC). Court held that the report presented by the Petitioners expert witness is not reliable. And that the Judgment of the Federal High Court in Abuja has already resolved the issue and that the 3rd Respondent is not bound to attach his certificates to  his INEC Forms 001 or EC 9. The 3rd Respondent did not give any false information to aid his qualification in the light of the Affidavit of loss of documents dated 7 June 2016, attached to his INEC form 001 of 2016. The Petitioners made a faulty step in calling an expert witness instead of calling someone from the University of Ibadan, the maker of the certificate. Held: the Petitioners have failed to prove the case of forgery or presenting false documents against the 3rd Respondent, (Godwin Obaseki). Held: that the 3rd

*PDP Hails Court For Jailing APC Rigging Prof...Says More Will Be Brought to Book* The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) commends the judiciary for its courage to stand on the side of the people to jail one of the corrupt returning officers, who connived with the All Progressive Congress (APC) to rewrite election results against the PDP in the 2019 general elections. The party said the three years jailed term handed to Prof. Peter Ogban, a professor of soil science at the University of Calabar, for manipulating the result of Akwa-Ibom Northwest senatorial election and attempting to foist the APC and its rejected candidate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, on the people, is a huge lesson for compromised individuals working for the APC to subvert the will of the people. The PDP asserts that the long arm of the law will soon catch up with other corrupt returning officers, including some shameless professors who were heavily bribed and compromised by the APC to alter results and rig it into power at

A High Court 1 sitting in Kogi State has sentenced one Ocholi Edicha to 12 years and 6 months in prison for the gruesome murder of Mrs Salome Abuh, during the 2019 governorship election. Recall that the state Police Command arrested six suspects in connection with the incident. The six suspects paraded were Ocholi Edicha, Adamu Haruna, Onu Egbunu, Musa Alidu, Attai Haruna and Attah Ejeh. The Kogi State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Busari had said Edicha aged 30 confessed that he led the gang that burnt the house of Elder Simon Abuh which led to the death of his wife, Mrs Salome Abuh.

Justice Ajayi while delivering Judgement, held that the oral testimony and eye witness account alongside statem

You Must Leave In 2023, PDP Replies APC Over Boasts of Extra 26 years Rule …Says APC Cannot Beguile Nigerians Again The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) describes the spiteful bragging and hallucination by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to remain in its misrule for the next 26 years, as a direct confrontation to the generality of Nigerians, who had already reached a national consensus to kick them out of office, come 2023. The PDP also describes APC’s claim of registering 36 million Nigerians in their failed fictitious registration exercise as another political hoax and empty claim, which cannot sway Nigerians in any way. The PDP is aware that the APC National Caretaker Committee Chairman, Governor Mai Mala Buni made such a garrulous statement in the belief that APC’s intimidation of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the judiciary and security agencies as well as deployment of thugs from neighboring countries, will help them to subvert the will of Nigerians in fu
