  The Lagos Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has secured the conviction and sentencing of four oil thieves and a vessel, MV Tim Begele, before Justice A.M. Liman of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos.

  The Speaker of the House of Representatives Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila has pledged the readiness of the Green Chamber to address some of the challenges faced by magistrates across the country. The Speaker said a situation where magistrates have poor working conditions would not augur well for the judiciary, considering the enormous task before them. "Based on what you said, something clinical has to be done. I wonder why the situation is like this. We know your work. We know how much you put in this profession. "I'm just surprised at your condition of work. Obviously, something needs to be done," Gbajabiamila told a team from the Magistrates Association of Nigeria who paid him a visit on Wednesday. The Speaker said the House would have to unravel the reason why magistrates are not referred to as judicial officers in Section 318 of the constitution, as brought to his attention by the association. "We just started the amendment (of the constitution). We'll look ...

Image
  The trial of former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, before Justice John Tsoho of the Federal High Court, Abuja, could not hold on Wednesday, December 2, 2020, and for the third consecutive time due to his absence in court. Fani-Kayode is facing a five-count charge of money laundering to the tune of N26million, preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC. At today’s trial, prosecution counsel, M.S. Abubakar, expressed displeasure at the defendant’s recurring absence in court, noting that the unnecessary delays which such has caused in the trial defeat the spirit of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act of 2016 (ACJ), which is for speedy administration of justice in the country. He therefore applied for a bench warrant against Fani-Kayode. “My lord, on January 22, 2019, the defendant was neither in court, nor was he represented. But the court gave him a benefit of the doubt, which he abused. Again, on October 21, 2020, the defendant was als...

The attention of @PoliceNG has been drawn to comments in the social media erroneously suggesting that the photos of the suspects shared on the Police handles on 1st December, 2020 were falsified. The Force wishes to state categorically that there was absolutely no misrepresentation or any intention whatsoever to deceive members of the public. To set the record straight, in the case involving one Talatu Ibrahim, female, 40years old from Shinkafi LGA, Zamfara State from whom six (6) AK49 rifles were recovered and one other, Duleji Alhaji Abubakar a.k.a Ori jeje who gets arms supply from her to carry out series of kidnapping and armed robbery in Kwara State, the pictures are authentic and true representation of the suspects and exhibits. However, the pictures were taken separately and merged into one screen for seamless understanding of the story line. The arms showcased in the picture were the exhibits recovered by Police operatives from the suspects. Similarly, with respect to the pho...
