 South Korean police seek arrest warrant for Hybe chairman Bang Si-Hyuk over alleged $100 million investor fraud scheme    South Korean police are seeking an arrest warrant for Bang Si-Hyuk, the billionaire music executive behind K-pop powerhouse Hybe and BTS, as part of an expanding investigation into allegations that he improperly benefited from an investor scheme involving more than $100 million.

 Lawyers Criticize Proposed Five-Year Tenure for Chief Justice, Heads of Courts


The House of Representatives' proposal to limit the tenure of Nigeria's Chief Justice and other court heads to five years has faced backlash from legal experts, who argue the current system is effective and does not require alteration.

The bill, introduced by Manu Soro, seeks to amend the Constitution to impose a five-year, non-renewable term for heads of courts, after which they would either return to their previous roles or retire.

Critics, including Nigerian Bar Association spokesperson Bridget Edokwe, argue the proposal is unnecessary and risks undermining the judiciary’s stability.

Concerns include potential politicization of appointments, inequities among states appointing younger judges, and complications from health or competence issues during fixed terms.

Lawyers emphasize that the current retirement system based on age or years of service ensures efficiency and professionalism.


The proposal, aimed at enhancing service motivation, is seen by many as a flawed solution that could introduce more challenges to Nigeria’s judicial system.
