Wale busari02 mins

A High Court in Maitama, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), on Friday granted N10 million bail each to Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) Mike Ozekhome and his co-defendant, Ponfa Useni, following their arraignment on a 12-count criminal charge filed by the office of the Attorney General of the Federation (OAGF). The defendants pleaded not guilty to allegations including forgery of documents, such as an international passport and an irrevocable power of attorney, which they were accused of using to claim ownership of a London property allegedly linked to the late General Jeremiah Useni. During the hearing, prosecuting counsel Rotimi Oyedepo (SAN) did not oppose the bail applications filed by Tayo Oyetibo (SAN) for Ozekhome and F.R. Onoja (SAN) for Useni. Justice Chizoba Oji granted bail of N10 million for each defendant, with the condition that each provide a surety owning property in the FCT. The court also ordered both defendants to deposit their international passports. The judge added that, since the hearing fell on a Friday, the defendants could return home if they could not immediately meet the bail conditions, but they must comply by Monday, failing which they would be remanded in prison.

Wale busari01 mins

Popular Nigerian streamer Peller has expressed frustration over what he described as constant financial pressure from his family following his rise to fame. While speaking during a recent livestream, the content creator complained about being repeatedly approached for money, saying the responsibility has become exhausting. “My family wants to k!ll me. Ever since I made it, they’ve been disturbing me. I’m the one paying my step-sibling’s school fees, what’s my business with them? We’re not even that close. It’s my father who had them, not my mom,” he said. His comments suggest he feels burdened by expectations to provide for relatives, especially step-siblings he says he does not share a close bond with.

Malami, Son Remanded in Kuje as Court Grants N200m Bail Over Terrorism Charges

Wale busari03 mins

A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has approved bail for former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, and his son, Abdulaziz, in the sum of N200 million each over allegations bordering on terrorism financing and unlawful possession of firearms. Delivering her ruling, Justice Joyce Abdulmalik explained that bail is primarily meant to guarantee a defendant’s presence in court for trial. She granted the duo bail with two sureties each who must provide the same amount. The court stipulated that one of the sureties must own a developed property located in either Maitama or Asokoro in Abuja and must submit the title documents to the Deputy Chief Registrar. Both sureties are also required to file affidavits of means and submit two recent passport photographs. Malami and his son were ordered to deposit their international passports alongside recent passport photographs with the court. However, they are to remain in custody at the Kuje Correctional Centre until all bail conditions are met. The matter was adjourned to March 4 for the commencement of trial. The Department of State Services had earlier filed a five-count charge against the pair, accusing them of terrorism financing, preparatory acts related to terrorism, and illegal possession of firearms. They had pleaded not guilty when the charges were read to them. At the hearing, A.U. Igwe represented the prosecution, while J.B. Daudu, SAN, appeared for the defence and urged the court to grant bail on liberal terms. The prosecution informed the court that the case file had been forwarded to the Department of Public Prosecution and requested a trial date. In the charge marked FHC/ABJ/CR/63/2026, the DSS alleged that Malami, while serving as AGF and Minister of Justice in November 2022, failed to prosecute certain suspected terrorism financiers despite receiving their case files. The agency also accused Malami and his son of unlawfully possessing a Sturm Magnum 17-0101 firearm, 16 Redstar AAA live cartridges, and 27 expended cartridges at their residence in Gesse Phase II, Birnin Kebbi Local Government Area of Kebbi State, in December 2025.

UCL Round of 16: Real Madrid and Manchester City Set for Fifth Straight Knockout Battle

Wale busari02 mins

The UEFA Champions League Round of 16 lineup is now confirmed, setting the stage for a series of blockbuster encounters across Europe. At the center of attention is yet another heavyweight clash between Real Madrid and Manchester City. This marks the fifth straight season both clubs will meet in the knockout rounds, underlining a growing modern rivalry in the competition. Their recent meetings have swung both ways — Madrid advanced in 2022, City responded in 2023, Los Blancos edged through on penalties in 2024, and last season Madrid knocked City out in the Round of 16. Earlier in this campaign, City claimed a 2-1 victory at the Santiago Bernabéu during the league phase. Another standout fixture will see Paris Saint-Germain take on Chelsea in a rematch of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup final, where the London side cruised to a 3-0 win over the French champions. Arsenal and Bayern Munich, who topped the league phase standings, have been drawn against Bayer Leverkusen and Atalanta respectively. Meanwhile, surprise package Bodo/Glimt of Norway will battle Sporting Lisbon as they continue their remarkable run. The remaining English representatives also face daunting tasks. Newcastle United go head-to-head with Barcelona, Liverpool square off against Galatasaray led by Victor Osimhen, and Tottenham Hotspur meet Atletico Madrid in another mouthwatering tie. The first-leg fixtures are scheduled for March 10 and 11, with the return legs set to take place the following week.

Wale busari02 mins

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Friday re-arraigned former Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, alongside his wife, Asabe Bashir, and their son, Abdulaziz, over money laundering allegations. The trio appeared before Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court in Abuja following the reassignment of their case to a new trial judge. At the resumed hearing, EFCC’s counsel, Jibrin Okutepa, SAN, informed the court that the defendants were being re-arraigned and requested that their pleas be taken. Okutepa also sought corrections to the sums stated in Counts 11 and 12 of the charge, asking that N325 million replace N325 billion in Count 11 and N120 million replace N120 billion in Count 12. The defence counsel, Joseph Daudu, SAN, did not object, and Justice Abdulmalik approved the corrections. The defendants pleaded not guilty to all 16 counts of money laundering leveled against them by the EFCC. Malami, his wife, and son were first arraigned before Justice Nwite on December 30, 2025, under charge number FHC/ABJ/CR/700/2025. While Malami and Abdulaziz were initially remanded at Kuje Correctional Centre, Asabe was held at Suleja Correctional Centre before all three were granted N500 million bail each, with two sureties of equal amount, on January 7.
