If DEA has anything serious on Tinubu, they would have charged him to court on the strength of the evidence as far back as 1993. If they evaluated their case in 1993 and jointly with FBI decide to reach an out of court settlement without prejudice, what new thing do you think they can come up with now?

From Natasha’s shenanigans to Yoruba appointment noise and now DEA records, it’s obvious all these are sponsored opposition tactics to continue to paint Mr. President black in the media. Nothing came out of FBI records. Nothing came out of CIA records. Nothing came out of IRS records. So, what exactly do you think DEA has that others don’t have?


In recent weeks, a lot of positive news have come out Nigeria’s economy. We’ve moved our net foreign reserve from $3.9billion in 2023 to $23billion at the moment. This is at a time when Argentina, a country with similar economic challenges with Nigeria as at 2023 just got another $20billion loan from IMF to boost their foreign reserve. Just yesterday, Fitch upgraded Nigeria’s credit rating to a strong B. Food inflation is also at a record decline.

Instead of us discussing all these positive developments and more, we are now being distracted by nonsense FBI DEA records that has achieved nothing since 2023.

SmallmebigGod:
I am shocked too. Nairaland MODs are behaving like set of incompetent Nigeria rulers. How can you push a story to front page , no link to background o details of what led the boy to prison. They made it look like he was in prison for standing in front of Obi's convoy.

StUriah:
Instead of him visiting the boy in correctional center, he should just have arrange lawyers for him to handle his case.

If the boy hadn't committed any crime he wouldn't have been put in prison for unjustifiable reasons and human rights community will just keep quiet

Obi just like to chase clout

Beremx:
you go cry tire. No peace for Tinubu's e-rats.

No negative news about Nigeria surprises me.

Any update on Hamdiya Sidi’s case?

She was arrested after lamenting the insecurity and the negligence of the Sokoto State Governor.

While other states are progessing, our northern state governments are arresting anyone who dares to question their incompetence.#FreeHamdiyaSidi pic.twitter.com/tS5KmrhDPO

An 18-year-old Nigerian lady, Hamdiyya Sidi Shariff, has been sentenced to 12 strokes of the cane, two years imprisonment, or a fine of ₦50,000 for expressing concerns about insecurity in Sokoto State.

The incident, now trending on X (formerly Twitter), revealed that Shariff was arrested in November 2024 after sharing videos online lamenting the rising insecurity in her region.

She had recounted how bandits freely attacked communities, displacing residents and subjecting vulnerable women to sexual exploitation.

Before her release, authorities accused her of inciting the public and using abusive language against Governor Ahmed Aliyu in a TikTok video.

However, translated transcripts of her seven videos presented in court showed no attempt to incite violence or insult the governor.

Shariff was reportedly abducted by armed men while retrieving her phone, beaten, and thrown from a moving tricycle, leaving her seriously injured.

She was later detained and charged before both Sharia and Magistrates’ Courts.

Her case drew the attention of Amnesty International, which condemned the threats to both Shariff and her lawyer, Abba Hikima.

The organization described the intimidation and stalking they faced during trial as an abuse of power aimed at silencing dissent.

Amnesty urged authorities to focus on tackling insecurity in eastern Sokoto, where killings, kidnappings, and destruction of villages have become frequent, rather than punishing those who speak out.

At a hearing in February 2025, the Police Prosecutor submitted translated videos and a flash drive as evidence.

However, it was disclosed during cross-examination that her statement was taken without legal representation. Despite this, the court upheld her bail conditions until her sentencing.
