 ‘Empty barrels’ – Otti dismisses Uzor Kalu, Orji, Ikpeazu opposition gang-up Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has urged Abians to disregard recent remarks by some leaders of the opposition in the state. Governor Otti who was speaking on Saturday at Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Umuoriehi, Umuahia North LGA, during the dedication of the church building, said that those who are gathering against him were the same people that failed to develop the state in the past. Otti was reacting to an alliance formed against his re-election by former Abia governors Orji Uzor Kalu, Theodore Orji and Okezie Ikpeazu. The governor slammed the opposition members for pursuing personal interest above the collective development of Abia, declaring that every gathering they are making against him would collapse. He said, “Pastor Uguru made reference to the noise that you may have been hearing in the last few days. “I want us to just dismiss it as noise, you know, and it’s always the empty barrel that makes...

COURT TO RULE ON EX-AGF NWABUOKU'S NO-CASE SUBMISSION NOV 13.(PHOTO).#PRESS RELEASE.


 Court to Rule on Ex-AGF Nwabuoku's  No-case Submission  Nov 13


Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, sitting in Maitama, Abuja, on Monday, November 3, 2025 reserved ruling till November 13, 2025, on the no-case submission, filed by a former Acting Accountant General of the Federation, Chukwunyere Anamekwe Nwabuoku.


Nwabuoku is being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on amended nine-count charges bordering on money laundering and diversion to the tune of N868,465,000 (Eight Hundred and Sixty-eight Million, Four Hundred and Sixty-five Thousand Naira).


During the proceedings, counsel to the defendant, N.I. Quakers, SAN, informed the court of his readiness to adopt the no-case submission earlier filed on behalf of his client.


“We have a notice of no-case submission before this honourable court, and we are ready to adopt it,” he told the court.


Upon the court’s permission, he proceeded to adopt both the written submission and the reply on points of law.


However, prosecution counsel, Ekele Iheanacho, SAN, informed the court that two responses were filed by the EFCC and sought to withdraw one of them.


“We filed two processes, My lord. We apply to withdraw the response to the no-case submission filed on July 16, 2025,” he said.


Counsel to the defendant raised no objection to the withdrawal. Consequently, Justice Omotosho struck out the EFCC’s earlier response filed on July 16, 2025.


“The response to the no-case submission filed on July 16, 2025, is hereby struck out,” the judge ruled.


Iheanacho thereafter adopted the EFCC’s valid response, dated October 23, 2025, in which he urged the court to dismiss the no-case submission of the defendant.


“We adopt our response to the defendant’s no-case submission and urge your lordship to discountenance the same,” he said.


After hearing both parties, Justice Omotosho reserved ruling on the no-case submission till November 13, 2025.
