Kansas driver’s license law puts some transgender residents in ID limbo A new Kansas law has effectively invalidated the driver’s licenses and other government-issued documents of transgender residents, leaving many in legal and personal limbo. Senate Bill 244, which went into effect immediately after the legislature overrode Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto, requires that the gender listed on a driver’s license align with the state’s binary definition of male and female. The law also directs the state registrar to “correct” birth certificates that do not match these definitions. Unlike similar restrictions in other states, Kansas’ law retroactively invalidates previously issued documents. Legal advocates warn that the law threatens the privacy and safety of transgender residents, forcing them to disclose their gender identity in situations ranging from employment applications to renting property or opening bank accounts.

 Gani Adams sues Igboho for N5bn for alleged invasion of privacy


The Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Adams, has filed a ₦5 billion lawsuit against Yoruba Nation activist Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, at an Oyo State High Court.

 

 Adams alleges that Igboho illegally recorded and released a private phone conversation between him and another individual without his consent, an action Adams claims has severely harmed his reputation.

 

In suit number M/1006/2024, Adams is seeking the enforcement of his fundamental rights, citing Section 37 of Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution, which guarantees the right to privacy. His statement highlights that Igboho’s actions were “unlawful, illegal, and unconstitutional,” describing them as “reckless and injurious” to his position as the Aare Ona Kakanfo.

 

According to Adams, the recorded conversation was shared publicly on social media in April 2024, which caused him “serious embarrassment.” He argues that his privacy rights were violated and is seeking exemplary damages to address the harm caused.


In his originating motion on Notice dated October 15, 2024, the applicant is seeking a court order for a declaration that as a citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, he has a constitutionally guaranteed right to the privacy of his home, correspondence, telephone conversations and telegraphy communications by virtue of section 37 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as Amended).

His fundamental rights procedures rules brought pursuant to section 27, 37 and 46 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,1999 as amended and Enforcement Act, Cap, A9, Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 2004.


The applicant is also praying the court  to declare that, “it is unlawful, illegal and unconstitutional for anyone to surreptitiously record the private telephone conversation between other persons without the consent and authority of the parties to the conversation
