Wale busari02 mins

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has announced that enforcement actions against defaulters of Ground Rent payments and Land Use Change/Conversion fees will begin on November 26. Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the FCT Minister, made the announcement in a statement on Thursday in Abuja. Olayinka recalled that, following President Bola Tinubu’s intervention, Wike had granted defaulters a 14-day grace period to settle outstanding Ground Rent as of May 26. “The 14-day grace expired on June 9, over five months ago,” he said. He also referenced previous publications in national newspapers and online platforms regarding the revised Land Use/Purpose Clause, which gave defaulters 30 days to pay violation fees of N5 million and other applicable charges for land use changes or conversions. A final grace period of 14 days was granted for properties in Asokoro, Maitama, Garki, and Wuse districts, which will expire on Monday, November 24. Olayinka stated that enforcement will commence from Wednesday, November 26, targeting all defaulters, including property owners who purchased land without completing mandatory registration and obtaining Ministerial Consent. He added that the FCT Administration (FCTA) will also act against defaulters of Right of Occupancy (R-of-O) and Certificate of Occupancy (C-of-O) bills, including property purchasers who have not registered their interests or completed their Deeds of Assignment.

Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer Vows to Appeal Life Sentence

Wale busari02 mins

Aloy Ejimakor, lawyer to Nnamdi Kanu, has announced plans to appeal the Federal High Court ruling that sentenced the IPOB leader to life imprisonment. Speaking to journalists after Justice James Omotosho delivered the judgement on Thursday, Ejimakor described the verdict as a “travesty of justice” and said the defence team would take the matter to the Court of Appeal. Kanu was sentenced to life imprisonment on counts one, four, five, and six, while receiving 20 years for count three and five years for count seven. All sentences are to run concurrently without an option of a fine. Ejimakor criticised the ruling, saying it set a dangerous precedent and was inconsistent with the evidence presented in court. “This is the only day I have witnessed a man being convicted for mere pronouncements, just for what he said, not what he did with his own hands,” he said. He added: “The verdict is overbroad, cruel, and unusual. How can you convict a man for making a broadcast from a location that was never named, with no link to any specific incident of violence or terrorism?” Ejimakor stated that if the Court of Appeal upholds the ruling, the defence would proceed to the Supreme Court, asserting confidence that Kanu’s conviction would ultimately be overturned.

Bandits who abducted 38 worshippers from Christ Apostolic Church (CAC), Eruku, in Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State have reportedly demanded N100 million ransom per victim.  According to Leadership, the kidnappers have begun contacting families of those taken during Tuesday’s church service. A community leader, Chief Olusegun Olukotun, the Olori Eta of Eruku—who has four relatives among the abducted—confirmed the development on Thursday, 20 November. Olukotun said he was inside the church with five family members when the gunmen invaded. He and one ward managed to escape through a window around 6:06 p.m. He explained that the kidnappers have now grouped the victims based on family ties and are reaching out to relatives one group at a time. He said, “From what we gathered from the kidnappers’ camp, they have grouped the victims according to their relations and are calling people in those groups. Some people in the community have received calls demanding N100 million for each person. As for my own people, I have not received any call yet, so I am still waiting.” The attack, which occurred on Tuesday, 18 November, left five worshippers dead and 38 others abducted, sparking widespread fear and tension across the community.

Wale busari02 mins

Nollywood actor Yomi Fabiyi has stirred controversy by claiming he has a video revealing the circumstances surrounding the death of late singer Mohbad. In a post on his Instagram page, Fabiyi stated that the video was sent to him by Mohbad’s younger brother, who allegedly intended to use it to demand money from him. He insisted that he is risking his life to ensure justice is served, saying the footage clearly shows what happened and cannot be ignored. Fabiyi also called on President Bola Tinubu to intervene, describing the video as containing “murder evidence and confession.” He named Wunmi Cynthia and others as suspects, stressing the need for accountability and justice. In his statement, Fabiyi said: “I am putting my life on the line to make sure justice is done. This video proves what really happened, and it cannot be ignored. I will not stay silent while the truth is hidden and the responsible go unpunished. They want to silence me and use the video against you in the next election. Your excellency, look into this matter. I don’t know why it is suddenly wrong to be loyal to your government. They want to use it against you in the next election. Your excellency, please look into this matter.” Fabiyi’s claims have reignited public interest in Mohbad’s death, raising questions among Nigerians about whether this alleged new evidence will advance the investigation. “I have video evidence of how Mohbad was m u r dered” “You all should tag Tinubu till he sees this, because I already wrote to him sometimes in May this year” – Yomi Fabiyi pic.twitter.com/Pov0dUdIp3 — Just Eniola 💜 (@JustEniola01) November 20, 2025

BREAKING: Court Sentences Nnamdi Kanu to Life Imprisonment

Wale busari02 mins

Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), to life imprisonment. The sentence was delivered in Kanu’s absence, as he had refused to attend the hearing, insisting that the court should not proceed with delivering judgment in the terrorism case brought against him by the Federal Government. Kanu had been convicted on seven counts of terrorism, which included inciting violence, issuing illegal stay-at-home orders in the South-East, instructing the making of explosives targeting government facilities, and membership of a proscribed organization. The court ruled that the prosecution had proven its case beyond reasonable doubt, based on compelling evidence presented during the trial. The Federal Government had urged the court to impose the maximum sentence under the Terrorism Prevention (Amendment) Act, 2013, which allows for either the death penalty or life imprisonment for the offences for which Kanu was convicted. Justice Omotosho noted that Kanu’s conviction was supported by uncontested evidence, including videos and recordings of his broadcasts in which he incited violence and threatened lives in pursuit of the secession of Biafra from Nigeria. The life imprisonment sentence marks a significant development in the government’s prosecution of Kanu and the activities of IPOB, highlighting the legal consequences for terrorism, incitement, and actions that threaten national security. The judgement reinforces the court’s stance on safeguarding public safety and upholding the law against members of proscribed organizations.
