Tue heading says he was arrested after the concert, yet the body says it is unclear if he was arrested before or after the concert. What a confused narrative.

PoliticsMetuh's Claim Of Ill Health Doubtful - Court by Gavel(op): 4:26pm On Apr 19, 2018
The Federal High Court, Abuja, has expressed doubts as to whether the claim of ill health by Olisah Metuh, the embattled former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), is true.

The trial judge, Justice Okon Abang, said this on Thursday while delivering a ruling on an application seeking the release of Metuh’s international passport to enable him travel abroad for medical treatment.

According to the judge, “I am wondering, if the defendant is really sick as he claims, why did he not appeal the two earlier decisions of the court that refused to release his international passport.



“I doubt that he is really ill as he wants the court to believe, if he is, he should have appealed the decisions of the court at the Court of Appeal.”

The judge wondered why Metuh appealed decisions of the trial court that had nothing to do with his health but refused to appeal those that dealt directly with his health.

Abang held that it seemed there was a hidden agenda by Metuh to present the court as inhuman by filing the same application before the trial court a third time rather than going on appeal.

He said that he agreed with the arguments of the prosecution that filing the application for a third time was an unpardonable and reckless abuse of judicial processes.

The judge maintained that the defendants ought to know that where a trial court decided a matter, it could not be brought before it again under any guise.

He further said that since the prosecution closed its case in 2016, the defendant, rather than defending his case, had taken several steps to frustrate the trial.

The judge said that he could not sit on appeal over his own judgment having already refused an application for the release of Metuh’s passport twice.



He added that contrary to the claim by Metuh’s counsel, Mr Onyeachi Ikpeazu, (SAN), there were no new facts in the current application as the facts in it were the same as those in the last two applications.

“The issues raised in this application have already been determined in the two previous rulings on the matter; there is nothing new in this application.”

He held that on account of Metuh’s conduct since the prosecution closed its case, he could not order the release of his passport and that he lacked jurisdiction to entertain the matter having decided it before.

He therefore dismissed the application for lacking in merit and adjourned the matter until April 20 for continuation of trial.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Metuh on March 14, for the third time, asked the court to release his international passport to enable him travel abroad for medical treatment.

CelebritiesRe: Ummi Ibrahim Zee-Zee: "Dating Timaya, My Greatest Regret In Life" by Gavel(m): 1:50pm On Apr 10, 2018
Coldplay007:

Any regrets in life?

Sometimes ago somebody was quoted as saying that I left Islam and converted to another religion because of my relationship with Timaya. I found it very difficult to believe. It was very much baseless and a mere allegation to tarnish my image. In fact in my entire life that is an incident I am finding it difficult to forget. I am a religious person. I love Islam and whenever I am free I read Hadith of the Holy Prophet a lot.



All Journalists and bloggers will all end up in hell fire.. how can anybody interpret the above as "dating timaya, my greatest regret?.
My sister, I was also shocked when I read the interview and never saw where she said she regretted dating Timaya. And to think that this was pushed to front page without due scrutiny.

"Today that I decided to go to church." She never really wanted to go to church, that's why she didn't prepare/dress appropriately. This girl needs help. Truth be told, her dressing is indecent. Who exposes armpits and shoulders in a decent church. This must have been an orthodox church. Proudly Catholic.

PoliticsRe: Alleged Looters List: Secondus Sues Lai Mohammed, Demands N1.5bn Damages by Gavel(m):
This is junk journalism. It isn't enough to state that the PDP Chairman has sued the Information Minister for libel. In which court registry was the said suit filed and in which judicial division? What day was it filed? What are the reliefs sought? To which Judge has it been assigned? When is it adjourned to and for what business on the said day?
Until these info are provided I will not comment on the substance of something I'm not sure actually exists. Cheers.
CareerRe: Workplace Criminality – Can An Employer Fire An Employee Over A Case In Court? by Gavel(m): 9:01am On Mar 31, 2018
As a Lawyer, I know for a fact that a private employer can terminate an employee's employment for any reason or for no reason at all provided it is not discriminatory and therefore a breach of his fundamental right under Part IV of the 1999 Constitution as amended. But there is a strict procedure for the termination of a govt employees as their employment is said to be with statutory flavour.
