Rivers Chief Judge Declines To Probe Governor Fubara, Citing Court Order

Rivers State Chief Judge, Justice Simeon Amadi, has declined to form a judicial panel to investigate Governor Siminalayi Fubara, pointing to an existing High Court order that bars such action. The Rivers State House of Assembly had requested the chief judge to establish a seven-member panel to probe Governor Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu, over allegations of gross misconduct. A source close to the matter revealed on Wednesday that Justice Amadi cannot act on the request because he is bound by a subsisting court order from a High Court in Port Harcourt. “The state High Court has issued an order in which the name of the Chief Judge was mentioned. He cannot disobey the law; he must do exactly what the court says,” the source said. The source further noted that while the Assembly faction led by Speaker Martins Amaewhule could appeal the ruling, the current order remains in force. “There is a possibility that the Amaewhule group may go on appeal, but the fact remains that the Chief Judge has been ordered by the High Court not to do anything contrary. If there was no court order, I can tell you sincerely that the Chief Judge would have no option but to set up the investigative panel,” the source added.

Trump Launches Board of Peace at Davos

Former President Donald Trump returned to Davos on Thursday to officially launch his Gaza Board of Peace, alongside the board’s newly announced members, most of whom come from the Middle East and South America. Trump described the board as “one of the most consequential bodies ever created” and said he was honored to serve as its chairman. Notably absent from the stage were leaders from Western Europe. The U.K. had expressed concerns over Russian President Vladimir Putin’s potential involvement, and while Putin received an invitation, he is reportedly still considering participation. Earlier this week, Trump drew attention by suggesting the board “might” replace the United Nations, though he later clarified that it would work alongside the UN. He said: “We’ll work with many others, including the U.N.” The UN had adopted the U.S.-sponsored resolution establishing the board in November. On Gaza, Trump said the Israel-Hamas war is “really coming to an end” but warned Hamas to disarm, describing its members as “people born with rifles in their hands.” He added: “They have to give up their weapons, and if they don’t do that, it’s going to be the end of them,” and called for the release of the final deceased Israeli hostage, Ran Gvili. Trump also highlighted Gaza’s strategic location, saying: “People that are living so poorly are going to be so well, but it all began with the location.” The Board of Peace follows last week’s launch of Phase Two of the Gaza ceasefire plan by Trump’s Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, focusing on “demilitarization, technocratic governance, and reconstruction.” Phase One faced challenges due to Hamas not handing over the final deceased hostage and Israeli airstrikes in October. The board will oversee the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), led by Ali Shaath, a former deputy minister in the Palestinian Authority, which will manage day-to-day reconstruction efforts. During his speech, Trump also highlighted his international achievements, praising the “unrivalled skill set of the U.S. Military,” referencing last year’s strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, and lauding his recent Venezuela operation that resulted in the capture of former President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. Regarding the board members, Trump called them “great people, great leaders,” saying the organization is already “running beautifully.” Board of Peace Members: Argentina: President Javier Milei Armenia: Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan Azerbaijan: President Ilham Aliyev Bahrain: Sheikh Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa Bulgaria: Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov (caretaker) Hungary: Prime Minister Viktor Orban Indonesia: President Prabowo Subianto Jordan: Deputy Prime Minister Ayman Safadi Kazakhstan: President Kassym‑Jomart Tokayev Kosovo: President Vjosa Osmani Mongolia: Prime Minister Gombojavyn Zandanshatar Morocco: Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita Pakistan: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif Paraguay: President Santiago Pena Qatar: Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani Saudi Arabia: Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al‑Saud Turkey: Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan United Arab Emirates: Chairman of the Executive Affairs Authority Khaldoon Al Mubarak Uzbekistan: President Shavkat Miromonovich Mirziyoyev The board is tasked with overseeing Gaza’s reconstruction while coordinating with international partners to ensure the territory’s stability and development.

No Shame in Hustle: Cubana Chief Priest Defends Peller Despite Being Snubbed By IShowSpeed

Cubana Chief Priest has defended TikToker Peller after Nigerians mocked him for repeatedly being snubbed by US streamer IShowSpeed during his visit to Nigeria.

Keep pushing for the Top.” Chief Priest’s message underlines the importance of ambition and resilience, urging Nigerians to celebrate effort and drive instead of mocking those who strive to achieve their dreams.

Enugu Govt Recovers ₦1.28bn From Sujimoto CEO Over Smart School Funds

The Enugu State Government has recovered ₦1.284 billion from Mr Olasijibomi Ogundele, Chief Executive Officer of Sujimoto Luxury Construction Ltd, following an investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission into the alleged diversion of funds earmarked for the construction of Smart Green Schools in the state. The recovered funds, which include payments made to the company for projects reportedly abandoned or largely unexecuted, were formally handed over to the state government on Wednesday at the EFCC Enugu Zonal Office through bank drafts and cheques. While presenting the cheques, EFCC Zonal Director in Enugu, Daniel Ise, said the recovery was carried out in line with the commission’s statutory responsibility to trace, recover and return public funds lost to economic and financial crimes. He explained that the action followed a petition submitted by the Enugu State Government, which triggered a full-scale investigation by the commission. “As of today, we have been able to recover drafts to the tune of ₦1,234,350,000 and an additional ₦50,000,000, bringing the total to ₦1,284,350,000 for the benefit of Enugu State government,” Ise said. He credited the progress made so far to the diligence and professionalism of EFCC officers handling the matter, but stressed that the recovery and handover did not signal the conclusion of the investigation. According to him, the commission will continue to scrutinise all aspects of the petition to ensure that no public funds remain unaccounted for. “This does not mark the end of the case. We will look at every facet of the petition to ensure that every kobo belonging to the Enugu State Government that is not accounted for is tracked and recovered,” he said. Ise added that where evidence of criminal wrongdoing is established, the EFCC would proceed with prosecution in line with existing laws. He also cautioned contractors to strictly comply with relevant regulations, particularly the Procurement Act. The EFCC reaffirmed its commitment to working with governments at all levels to protect public resources, warning that accountability in the execution of public contracts remains non-negotiable.
