Last week, Bobrisky was detained by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) at the Seme border, allegedly while trying to flee the country. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has re-arrested controversial social media personality Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, at Lagos's Murtala Mohammed International Airport. The arrest, which occurred Thursday evening, October 31, came just days after the socialite had been released on bail by Nigerian police authorities. The arrest unfolded dramatically as Bobrisky attempted to board a flight to London. According to eyewitnesses, Nigerian authorities halted the aircraft just before takeoff and escorted the socialite out in full view of passengers. Bobrisky, visibly distressed, took to Instagram shortly after, appealing to the public: "Nigerians help me, EFCC just arrested me. I'm badly injured."

Dare argued that Buhari wouldn't have emerged as President but for the support of Tinubu and other key APC stakeholders. The Special Adviser to the President on Public Communications and Orientation, Sunday Dare, has corroborated the claim that President Bola Tinubu played a pivotal role in the coming into office of his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari. In 2015, Buhari achieved an unprecedented feat in Nigerian politics by defeating an incumbent President after he had been unsuccessful in three previous attempts in the 2003, 2007 and 2011 elections. The retired military general ended the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) unbroken 16-year dominance by beating incumbent Goodluck Jonathan in the hotly-contested election. However, the victory was achieved under the All Progressives Congress (APC), a product of a merger between Buhari’s Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Tinubu’s Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and some other parties. Dare says Tinubu was instrumental in Buhari...

Justice Abdulmalik's ruling pointed to a breach of the 1999 Constitution due to Fubara's continued allocation disbursements since January, despite political unrest in the state. Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has reacted indifferently to a Federal High Court decision that halted the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) from releasing monthly financial allocations to the state. The ruling, issued by Justice Joyce Abdulmalik in Abuja, cited alleged constitutional breaches regarding the presentation of the 2024 budget and restrictions on using state funds without a fully constituted State House of Assembly. Governor Fubara spoke during a thanksgiving service on Wednesday, October 30, celebrating his administration's resilience amid recent political challenges. He expressed regret not for pursuing peace but acknowledged that his adherence to President Bola Tinubu 's intervention may have unintentionally strengthened his opponents. "I have no regrets seeking p...

Justice Joyce Abdulmalik, in a judgment, held that the receipt and disbursement of monthly allocations since January 2024 by Gov. Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers is a constitutional somersault and aberration that must not be allowed to continue. The National Democratic and Change Coalition (NDCC) has called on Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara to refund state funds allegedly spent without approval, following a Federal High Court ruling. The court recently ordered a freeze on further disbursements to Rivers State due to alleged constitutional violations in the state's budget process. In her ruling, Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court in Abuja found that Governor Fubara's presentation of the 2024 budget to a four-member House of Assembly was constitutionally invalid. As a result, the court barred the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Accountant General of the Federation, and Rivers State accounts at Zenith Bank and Access Bank from releasing further funds ...

This follows urgent calls from the Energy Reforms Advocates (ERA) and the APC Youth Vanguard for Change (APCYVC) for an investigation into the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) and its Group Chief Executive Officer, Mele Kyari, amid ongoing concerns about mismanaged funds and non-functional refineries.

Emir Sanusi's first son is a serving police officer with the rank of DSP. The 16th Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi II, is set to decorate his first son as the Ciroman of Kano, a title believed to be usually reserved for the crown prince or heir apparent. Barring any last-minute changes, the Emir will honour the crown prince and nine others with different traditional titles on Friday, November 25, 2024. The Ciroman title has a huge cultural and political significance in the Kano Emirates, mainly because it represents the bearer's direct lineage rights and confers the right to oversee the management of certain districts. It'd be recalled that Sanusi's late father, Ambassador Aminu Sanusi , held the title until his death sometime in the 1990s. However, the last holder of the title was Alhaji Nasiru Ado Bayero , a former Emir of Bichi ousted a few months ago after spending four years on the throne.
