This was pronounced by Obiora Egwuatu, the presiding judge, who struck out the case following an application by M.D Abubakar, counsel to the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF).

AFederal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday struck out the treasonous charges brought against 119 Nigerians including those detained since August for participating in the #EndBadGovernance protest.

This was pronounced by Obiora Egwuatu, the presiding judge, who struck out the case following an application by M.D Abubakar, counsel to the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF).

Abubakar had applied to take over and discontinue the suit.

At the session on Tuesday, Abubakar prayed the court to allow the AGF take over the charge.

SaharaReporters had reported that following their rejection at Kuje Prison, the malnourished minors were detained by the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) in a facility meant for adults at the Intelligence Response Team unit in the Apo area of the Federal Capital Territory

The kids who were granted bail on stringent terms by Justice Obiora Egwuatu were 24. Still, about 20 of them had been hospitalised at an undisclosed hospital, sources told SaharaReporters on Friday night.

Earlier on Monday, President Bola Tinubu ordered the release of the underage children arraigned before an Abuja Federal High Court on Friday, November 1, following national and international outrage and condemnation.

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, announced the development to State House correspondents during an emergency briefing at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.

SaharaReporters had also exclusively reported that Vice President, Kashim Shettima, is set to preside over an elaborate handover ceremony to transfer custody of malnourished minors to their respective state governors from the northern region.

A press statement issued by Nigerian Police Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi on Monday night, claimed that the security operatives had investigated the allegation of malnourishment of the detained minors.

If Skamala wins, Americans will now understand the premium definition of PREMIUM SHEGE! Sebi they're still crying about cost of living, lack of jobs and increasing crime rates. They should let Kamala enter and continue with Biden's disastrous policies. The Beyonce, Taylor swift, Cardi B pushing them to vote will continue to live in their bubbles while they, the common man will be faced with harsh realities.

This guy and posting rubbish all the time you no dey tire?

How many rally you don attend?
Do your research, the Blacks and Latinos are voting for Trumps massively this year.
That's why Obama was gaslighting the black communities for not giving as much support as he was given during his time.

because as a black person you should know who hates you and doesn’t wish well for you. There’ll be a few who don’t have any sense of self preservation but they’re the minority.
Only the coons and bigots support him.

I take it that you also watch too much CNN. They're the ones that will twist every news in favour of the democrats even if they're blatant lies. If there were job loses during Trump's regime and boost during Biden's, why is it now that Americans are crying of cost of living and being unemployed/underemployed? Why not then? I remember during the 2020 election season, the only thing opposition could use against Trump was the way he handled the pandemic which eventually led to his election loss. If the economy was as gripping then as it is now, wouldn't they have used that against him as well?

If you've watched any of Kamala's cringe-worthy interviews and you say she's still better than Trump/Vance, then I'll say you're not being true to yourself. Abeg, let's not unburden what cannot be unburdened abi how she dey take talk am. Balablue 2.0

These are the people claiming to be liberals



Vance is more articulate, intelligent and coherent than that humpty dumpty Kampala that's can't make an ounce of sense to save her life. Any statement she makes outside a prepared speech is filled with incoherent gibberish that will make you question your understanding of basic English. It's obvious she's going to be a puppet in the hands of the democrat cabals just like Biden has been. Their administration brought about a crumbling economy, loss of jobs, highest rate of inflation in decades and increase in crime rates due to the immigration crisis they caused. You Africans want them so as to get easy visas to their country. Put yourself in the shoes of an average American for once, would you be happy if there's an uncontrollable influx of migrants into your country threatening your safety and means of livelihood?

Following the verdict from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) on the ill-treatment of the Super Eagles on their visit to Libya for the second leg of their African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying match, Nigerians in Libya are reportedly facing widespread arrests amid escalating calls for the deportation of foreign workers.

LIBYA INF.TV in a Facebook post on Sunday said recent virtual campaigns in Libya have intensified calls for the deportation of foreign workers and limitations on their activities, leading to widespread condemnation from human rights organizations.

These groups have raised alarms about the potential rise of hatred and incitement towards the hundreds of thousands of foreigners living in the country.

“Virtual campaigns have recently escalated in Libya demanding the deportation of foreign workers and restricting their activity in the country, sparking a wave of condemnation from human rights organizations warning of the spread of feelings of hatred and incitement against hundreds of thousands of foreigners residing in this Maghreb country,” it said.

Another local blog, Libya News Today 1, also called on the government to apprehend undocumented Nigerian workers, proposing a $500 fine and appropriate taxation. Adenaike Emmanuel, a Nigerian living in Tripoli, confirmed to Sunday PUNCH that arrests had begun.

“They have already started. The news came out on Saturday, and they were saying they can’t accept it and that they are not the ones who will pay the money. They have started proving this.”

She added, “Someone called me and said they had already begun arresting people in his area. The same thing is happening here in Tripoli. In some places, people were arrested on Sunday morning and afternoon. As I mentioned before, Libyans don’t hide their feelings. They believe that by doing this, they are getting their revenge.”

Peter Omoregbie, President of the Nigerian community in Libya, verified the arrests in a video that was widely shared by several Libya-based Nigerian blogs last Monday.

This confirmation comes amidst rising tensions between Nigeria and Libya, after Nigerian football players were stranded at an airport in Libya for about 18 hours.

He said, “The arrests started on Sunday night in some areas in Tedora. They are arresting innocent people. They don’t even care whether you have passports or residence permits. They just don’t care, which doesn’t happen in other countries.”

He linked the arrests to the recent face-off between the countries, especially following the CAF ruling which favoured Nigeria and imposed a fine against Libya.

He said, “As the community leader, I received some videos showing that the arrests started last night in the Tedora area. They said the Libyan police have started arresting Nigerians, whether they have passports or not. Some of us are already afraid, calling everywhere to ask what to do. Sometimes, as community leaders, we are helpless. Even the Nigerian Embassy’s hands are sometimes tied. But international bodies need to intervene in this situation.”

The CAF ruling followed a formal complaint from the Nigeria Football Federation regarding the treatment of the Super Eagles, who faced significant logistical challenges, including a redirected flight and over 18 hours of delays during their recent visit to North Africa.

The CAF ultimately cancelled the match, awarding Nigeria three goals and three points while imposing a $50,000 fine on the Libyan Football Federation.

In the aftermath, Libyan media began advocating for the arrest of Nigerians without proper documentation, suggesting that the fines against the Libyan federation would be transferred to the Nigerian community.

This narrative has been echoed on social media, where posts have alleged that Nigerian workers are a burden on Libyan resources.

The Meliszwe Mandela Foundation, named after Nelson Mandela's grandson, has been the latest organisation to attempt to halt Chidimma Adesthina's shot at Miss Universe


Mandela Foundation argued that Chidimma should be disqualified from participating in Miss Universe. They argued she had contravened two South African laws in the Immigration Act and an International Law - a UN protocol which condemns travel with fraudulent documentation.
