The truth will set you free! He is not like you still lying that your principal who came a distant 3rd in a credible election is the winner of the election.

It is because he admitted his crime was why he got 6 months, his case didn't linger and legal bills not mounting.

The Governor can pardon him tomorrow if he remains penitent and truthful wink Lying means nothing to the mediocre political camp of Mrs Aisha Yesufu. They believe lying will help them win an election and no wonder she believes that lying can help the defendant escape justice. Smh.

Awon opuro gbogbo. All liars will die and end up in hell here on earth and fire in heaven.

It could be a difficult decision but Bobrisky did the right thing and has learnt from his mistakes and conviction. He showed an admirable character and I am proud of him for being truthful. The true test of character is where you stand in difficult situations, he showed great character.

The Olubadan has been his ultimate ambition and joined the queue decades even before he became a Governor. The Olubadan is his ultimate prize.

It's almost his time but not yet his turn. He will one day become the Olubadan and it will be historic because that will be the first time that a former democratically- elected Governor will become the Olubadan if not the first time a former democratically- elected Governor becomes a First Class Oba in Nigeria.

His position is clear enough that you can not have any other crown in Ibadan apart from the Olubadan and he rejected the crown the Governor gave him while other high chiefs collected it.

Very good. The Nigerian Government will give the Ogunbanjos all the support too.

That helicopter company must be held to full account. If they love to waste the lives of their own citizens, too bad for them, but the Ogunbanjos of Erunwon, Ijebu Ode, will have none of it.

It's so upsetting how they kill people in helicopter crashes in the US and just move on as if it's normal to waste lives. It's alien to us here in Nigeria o. We value lives and family from where we come from.

None yet they reigned over everyone including their fellow contestants for the throne. This is not like it is done for your revered Olubadan throne where the next in line is known for certain, in this succession process, there is contest with other Princes.

My point is that when you raised that he was not the genuine one, you implied that he was an impostor, it is disrespectful, shows that you are an outsider and it's because of your hatred for Asiwaju Tinubu. How you turned a thread that mourns Kabiyesi's passing to opportunity for you to describe him in condescending tone is completely objectionable and alien to Awori, Lagos and even the general Yoruba culture. I doubt if you are even Yoruba!

Smh. This is very unfortunate and disrespectful. Sometimes, when I read disparaging comments that diminish the dead like this, I just wish people who type comments like yours live for ever and don't die.

Then Prince Agbabiaka was a prominent figure in the royal family and when he was chosen and crowned among all the others, he became the Kabiyesi to all and sundry including those who contested the post with him.

He reigned for about 20 years and if he's not the choice, he would not have enjoyed the support of the people. You even indicted yourself by suggesting that there's one who is meant to be when it's not the position of Olubadan.

After Oba Goloba passed on, there was no rancor in the selection of Oba Agbabiaka, it's our prayers and hope that the process through which the next Kabiyesi will emerge will be peaceful and rancor free too.
Aworiland just lost a very prominent Kabiyesi. Be sensitive nau.

lexy2014:


how do you know that she is regretting anything?
Please read the reliefs the lawyer is seeking. Those reliefs she is seeking came late and it came regrettably after the Army got the court warrant/ judgement.

If she had acted soon enough, the Nigerian Army would not have gotten the court to declare her AWOL and issue that warrant of arrest against her. That's what the lawyer is fighting to lift and unfortunately the FHC Judge didn't lift it and it will not be lifted in NIC despite the huge and piling avoidable legal bills she will pay for long years, probably up to the Supreme Court , while she remains disadvantaged as a fugitive and outlaw.

She's in a weak legal position against the state because she will be spending a lot of money filing/ appealing the case against the state with her limited rights as a fugitive running from the law and not the state fighting her adversary on her behalf. It's a bad place and only truly educated people can understand the gravity of the problem she is in. She can be placed on interpol list if she's not already on the list sef and fighting now to get herself off the list or being arrested and deported to Nigeria to face the justice system.

The lawyer submitted that after the expiration of the period the Plaintiff was released and sponsored by the Defendants for the PhD programme on 30th October, 2021, instead of returning back to her place of duty in Nigeria, forwarded an application dated 15th November, 2021 through the Defence Adviser of the Nigerian High Commission in London (who was the official communication channel between the Defendants and the Plaintiff at the time) wherein the Plaintiff applied for relinquishing her commission in the Nigerian Army.

“The Defendants did not at any time approve the Plaintiff’s ‘Application for Relinquishing of her Commission”,” Bassey contended while urging the court to decline jurisdiction on the case.

Very misleading headline by the rookie Nairametrics reporter. There's nothing in her report that indicates that her travail is because she married a foreigner. Same thing will happen if she married a Nigerian under same circumstances.

If all these are true and there's a subsisting Magistrate Court warrant of arrest against her, she is in very serious problem. She's lost everything she ever had with the Nigerian Army.
Whoever advised her to take this route did her very bad. Haba. After the taxpayer's money was spent on you to acquire a PhD in the United Kingdom, instead of you to resume in Nigeria, work for some time to payback the value invested in you, you sent ordinary letter of resignation without signing out.

I am sure the ignorant foreigner must have been misled to believe that nonsense of " this is Nigeria, nothing will happen ".

Marriage is a marathon and not a sprint. The foundation is absolutely important, there's something fundamentally wrong with the character of such a man who married a woman under her circumstances. Haba!
Now it's been 3 hellish years of a wife living a life of a fugitive and outlawed in Nigeria.

Just like the FHC, the Industrial Court will not lift that arrest warrant and the Nigerian Army is likely to defeat her. Her case is so bad that it's better she immediately comes back home and sort herself then payback the cost spent on her for the PhD.

Why act like an ungrateful omo oju ori ola ri because of opportunity many others contributed to give you. Will she accept it too if someone acted in such manner after she has helped the person? The Army should please temper justice with mercy when she comes back to beg for restitution.

Career / Court Declines Jurisdiction On Case Of Female Army Officer Who Married Foreigner by FreeStuffsNG: 3:52pm On Apr 10
Voluntary resignation: Court declines jurisdiction on case of Nigerian female army officer who married foreigner

The Federal High Court, Abuja has declined jurisdiction on the case of a Nigerian army female officer, Major N.U. Ukachukwu who accused the military leadership of declaring her absent from duty amid her marriage to a foreigner and voluntary resignation.

Justice Inyang Ekwo rather referred the matter to the National Industrial Court which deals with employment issues in Nigeria.

The officer sued the Nigerian Army and the Chief of Army Staff in Suit no: FHC/ABJ/CS/282/2023, asking the court to determine whether having exercised her right under Section 151 of the Traditions, Customs and Ethics of the Nigerian Army by relinquishing her Commission, she can be deemed to have deserted the army and declared AWOL(Absent without leave) by the defendants.

The plaintiff’s lawyer, Godwin Idem, explained to the court that his client was commissioned to the Nigerian Army Directorate of Legal services on 5th December 2009 and rose through the ranks.

According to him, sometime in 2021 while away on her doctoral research programme, his client met a man named K. Lawton who proposed marriage to her and she decided to accept his marriage proposal and on the 5th October 2021, she and Lawton got married in Scotland, United Kingdom.


She wrote to the Nigerian Army, tendering her resignation, says her lawyer.

He added she earlier pointed out to the Nigerian Army that the timeline set for her was not enough to cover her PhD programme.

He also contended that the Nigerian Army instead, declared her Absent without Leave while ordering her arrest.


The lawyer argued that the plaintiff committed no crime other than that she married and she did not desert the Nigerian Army as she lawfully resigned and relinquished her commission.

Idem stated,

“After she wrote the letter applying for relinquishment of her commission in November 2021, seven months elapsed and the defendant did not respond to the letter but instead declared her Absent Without Leave (hereinafter referred to as AWOL) without due regard to the TCENA 2005.

“On 22 August 2022, a letter was written on behalf of the 2nd Defendant in which it was stated that they had received the letters and the Plaintiff was still declared AWOL.

“The 2nd Defendant wrote a second letter wherein he vehemently refused the application of the Plaintiff for the relinquishment of her commission.

“The 1st Defendant approached the Magistrate Court in Wuse Zone 2 and obtained an order for the warrant of the arrest of the Plaintiff pursuant to S. 241 (1) and(2) of the Armed Forces Act, CAP A20, LFN 2004 (hereinafter referred to as AFA (2004).

“The Defendants will not be prejudiced by this Court granting judgment in favour of the Plaintiff.”

The reliefs sought by the plaintiff are:

A Declaration that the Plaintiff committed no crime in marrying a foreigner.

A Declaration that the Plaintiff did not desert and is not AWOL within the meaning of Section 60 of the Armed Forces Act (2006) having relinquished her commission under Section 151 (c) of the Traditions Customs and Ethics of the Nigerian Army (2005).

A Declaraion that the desertion and AWOL (Absence without leave) issued by the Defendant be set aside.

A Declaration that the order of the Magistrate Court, Wuse Zone 2 for the warrant of her arrest be set aside.

A Declaration that her voluntary resignation and relinquishment of her commission pursuant to Section 151 (c) of the Traditions Customs and Ethics of the Nigerian Army (2005) be upheld.”

Nigerian Army Reacts
In their defense, Deborah Bassey, Esq., who represented the Nigerian Army and CoAS, denied the applicant’s claim that she was not absent from duty.

The lawyer replied that the duration of the Plaintiff’s programme and the period of her release for the PhD programme by her employer (Nigerian Army), was clearly and strictly stated in the releasing letter and the Training Orders before she was released for and commenced the programme.

The lawyer submitted that after the expiration of the period the Plaintiff was released and sponsored by the Defendants for the PhD programme on 30th October, 2021, instead of returning back to her place of duty in Nigeria, forwarded an application dated 15th November, 2021 through the Defence Adviser of the Nigerian High Commission in London (who was the official communication channel between the Defendants and the Plaintiff at the time) wherein the Plaintiff applied for relinquishing her commission in the Nigerian Army.

“The Defendants did not at any time extend the period the Plaintiff was released for the PhD programme beyond October 2021,” Bassey replied.
“The Defendants deny para. 3 (w) and state in reply that issues relating to marriage by or of service personnel of the Nigerian Army to foreigners is legislated against and guided by extant laws, rules and regulations.

“The Defendants did not at any time approve the Plaintiff’s ‘Application for Relinquishing of her Commission”,” Bassey contended while urging the court to decline jurisdiction on the case.
What the judge said
In his judgement dated March 15, 2024 and seen by Nairametrics, Justice Ekwo held that based on Section 254 C of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), the National Industrial Court is the Court endowed with exclusive jurisdiction on matters that are connected with employment.

He said the declaration of AWOL which is the subject matter of the case of the Plaintiff is one of several prescribed disciplinary procedures that arises in the course of a military officers employment with the Nigerian Army.

He subsequently agreed with the Nigerian Army and declined jurisdiction, but referred the case to the National Industrial Court for determination.

He held,

“All officers and men of the Nigerian Army are subject to disciplinary action when the need arises otherwise the service will become uncontrollable and chaotic.

“The Plaintiff is thereby challenging the action of her employer in the service with the Nigerian Army.

” In my opinion, there is no art of jurisprudence that is capable of severing the declaration of AWOL of the Plaintiff from her employment in the 1st Defendant to enable this Court to exercise jurisdiction in this case.
“I decline jurisdiction on this matter.

“However, the position of the law is that where this Court has no jurisdiction on a matter that ought to have been filed in the National Industrial Court, this Court has power to transfer the case to the National Industrial Court;
[quote]“I make an order transferring this case to the National Industrial Court. This is the Order of this Court.”

What you should know:
The National Industrial Court is constitutionally vested with powers to preside over employment issues in Nigeria.
As observed by the FHC judge, the case being a civil matter is weaved employment and traditions in Nigeria’s military.
