 Meta to end end-to-end encryption for Instagram direct messages Meta is ending end-to-end encryption for Instagram direct messages, a feature the company says will no longer be available after May 8, 2026. Unlike WhatsApp, Instagram never offered encryption to all users or as a default; only select users in certain regions could opt in on a per-chat basis. A Meta spokesperson explained that the decision comes due to low adoption. “Very few people were opting in to end-to-end encrypted messaging in DMs, so we’re removing this option from Instagram in the coming months,” the spokesperson said. “Anyone who wants to keep messaging with end-to-end encryption can easily do that on WhatsApp.” Meta’s messaging strategy has shifted multiple times over the years. WhatsApp chats have been encrypted since 2016, and the company began rolling out default encryption for Messenger in 2023. However, Meta has not clarified whether the Instagram decision affects Messenger, which is still in the proc...

GANI FAWEHINMI'S DAUGHTER BLASTS FAROTIMI FOR ALLEGEDLY DEFAMING AFE BABALOLA. (PHOTO).


 Gani Fawehinmi’s daughter blasts Farotimi for allegedly defaming Afe Babalola


Bashirat Fawehinmi-Biobaku, first daughter of the late social critic and rights activist, Chief Gani Fawehinmi, has taken a swipe at human rights activist, Dele Farotimi over what she described as ‘baseless accusations’ against the founder of Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD), Aare Afe Babalola.

She stated this at the 21st anniversary of Chief Gani Fawehinmi annual lecture held at Lagos Airport Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos State.

Recalled that Dele Farotimi accused the legal luminary in his book titled ‘Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System’, of using his influence to corrupt the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

Fawehinmi-Biobaku noted that his allegations did not only defame the elder statesman but also the sanctity of the Supreme Court and the integrity of the judiciary.

She urged Nigerians who are advocates of justice, to resist the temptation to allow false narratives to overshadow the monumental contributions of the likes of Aare Afe Babalola.

Her words, “I seek the permission of this noble gathering to call to mind what the former Emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie aptly said; ‘Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who should have acted, the indifference of those who should have known better, and the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most that has made it possible for evil to triumph.

“A recent publication, Nigeria and Its Criminal Justice System by one Mr. Dele Farotimi, exemplifies this troubling trend. The author maligns not only Aare Afe Babalola but also the sanctity of the Supreme Court and the integrity of the judiciary at large.

“The author hinged his outburst on the case of Major Muritala Gbadamosi Eletu & Ors v. H.R.H. Oba Tijani Akinloye & Ors (2013) 15 NWLR (Pt. 1378) 443. While constructive criticism aimed at reform is welcome, it is crucial to distinguish between genuine calls for improvement and baseless accusations that erode public trust.

“As we honor the ideals of Fawehinmism and the legacy of Chief Gani Fawehinmi, let us reaffirm our commitment to defending the judiciary and its stalwarts. Aare Afe Babalola’s story demonstrates that greatness is achieved through unwavering dedication, integrity, and service to humanity.

“We must resist the temptation to allow false narratives to overshadow the monumental contributions of individuals like Aare Afe Babalola.

“Instead, let us celebrate their achievements and draw inspiration from their lives to build a future where justice and truth prevail.

“In conclusion, I urge us all to carry forward the principles of justice, fairness, and service that Aare Afe Babalola and Gani Fawehinmi epitomize. May we continue to honor their legacies by upholding the values they so fiercely defended”.
