 OSUN CHALLENGES COURT ORDER FREEZING STATE ACCOUNTS The Osun State Government has filed an application before the Federal High Court, Lagos, seeking to set aside the September 9, 2026 ex-parte order freezing the State’s accounts, alleging that the order was procured by deceit and concealment of material facts by Gamji Nigeria Company Limited.  The application, filed on October 2, also argues that the order does not accord with public policy and that the arbitration award it seeks to enforce is being challenged by the State Government. A statement issued by the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment,  Kolapo Alimi, said the State Government’s legal team had approached the Lagos State High Court to set aside the arbitral award, citing alleged irregularities in the arbitration process. The State Government said the dispute arose from a 2017 contract inherited from the administration of former Governor Rauf Aregbesola/Oyetola, following a disagreement over a v...

 Prosecutors argue Sean 'Diddy' Combs should serve at least 11 years in prison

Federal prosecutors are urging a judge to sentence Sean Combs to at least 11 years in prison when he appears for sentencing on Friday, following his conviction on two counts of transportation for the purposes of prostitution. In a memo submitted to the court, prosecutors argued that Combs, despite being acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges, has shown no remorse and left victims living in fear. They said the punishment must reflect not only the crimes of conviction but also the abusive and violent circumstances in which they were carried out, particularly against Cassie Ventura, who was seen in hotel surveillance footage, bloodied and bruised. Prosecutors described Combs’ conduct as part of “decades of unchecked violence” and lasting psychological, emotional, and physical harm inflicted on those around him.

Defense attorneys sharply disagreed, calling the recommendation “draconian” and arguing it essentially disregards the jury’s verdict. They asked for a far more lenient sentence, closer to the time already served. Prosecutors attached letters from multiple victims and witnesses to underscore their recommendation, including Ventura and a former employee named Mia. Ventura urged the judge to recognize the strength it took victims to come forward and to impose a sentence that acknowledges the lives Combs has damaged. Mia’s letter pleaded for a sentence that would honor the truth and provide hope, protection, and justice. “Please, your Honor,” she wrote, “you have the power to show us, the world, and the future that our lives, our voices, our truth, and our humanity matter.” The final decision will rest with the judge, who must weigh both sides’ arguments in determining Combs’ punishment.
