The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja on Tuesday affirmed the suspension of Comrade Adams Oshiomole as a member and National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ruling on the interlocutory appeal filed by Comrade Oshiomhole, the appellate court upheld the decision of the Federal Capital Territory High Court delivered by Justice Danlami Senchi which in March ordered the suspension of Oshiomhole as well as restraining him from parading himself as the National Chairman of the party.
In a unanimous judgement in the first appeal delivered by Justice
Eunice Onyemanam, the court held that the FCT High Court had territorial jurisdiction to have entertained the suit as it did.

The court also withdrew his rights and privileges as National Chairman of the party including his security details.

The appeal court predicated its decision on the ground that Comrade Oshiomole as the first appellant is based in Abuja while the APC also has its national headquarters in the capital city.
In the judgment on the second appeal delivered by Justice Mohammed Lamido, the court disagreed with Comrade Oshiomhole that their right to a fair hearing was breached by the trial court.
Justice Lamido further said that there was no basis for the two appellants to hold that they were denied fair hearing during proceedings at the FCT High Court.
It further held that the suspension of Comrade Oshiomole from Ward 10 of Etsako local government of Edo state was ratified at the ward, local and state government level as required by law.
And the identity of those who suspended him was not in doubt because in their unchallenged affidavit they made it clear that they were party members and officers of the party, therefore the appeal lacks merit.
Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and the APC are the appellants in the two dismissed appeals.

that was the reason why they don't want another party to take over Lagos State.

Lagos Assembly Speaker, Obasa, approves N258m for printing of invitation cards for House Inauguration two months after event held.

N258m for printing! Tinubu & his boys are looting Lagos daily.

Eko ti baje.

Bro I like the simplicity of your post but let me ask this, what if the so called help was to win people's heart before the real scheme is launched.



Now let me say this. anybody who does not help Africans to push away corrupt leaders is not helping Africans. As long as you are dinning with the corrupt leaders in Africa, you are not helping the continent.


But I will like you to touch on my point above.

How can you say Bill and Melinda Gates are satanic agents when Christ said satan came to steal, kill and destroy? For years, they have been doing the opposite of that. It is particularly disappointing for politicians to make that claim. Can you do for your people what Bill Gates has done for them?

We must change our way of life. Kano for instance has a population of 18-20 million and over 10,000 mosques, but less than 25 hospitals. That is why #COVID19 is devastating Kano. Not because of any plan to depopulate the North, as MURIC alleged

Does anyone have the phone contacts of Aisha buharri native doctor?

I wan ask am something.

A prominent civil rights advocacy group, Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has asked the National Human Rights Commission, NHRC; office of the Inspector General of Police; office of the Federal Attorney General and Minister of Justice and the National Agency Against Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), to take over investigation into the alleged sexual attacks and physical torture of Kogi State beauty queen, Miss Elizabeth Oyeniyi, by a serving commissioner, Abdulmuminu Danga.

The group insisted that the matter must not be swept under the carpet of impunity.

Women’s Rights Organisations in the country had earlier called on Kogi State Governor Alhaji Yahaya Bello, to as a matter of urgency suspend the Commissioner for Water Resources, Abdulmumuni Danga, for allegedly beating and raping a lady in the state until the investigation is concluded, adding that this will enable a level playing-ground for investigation.

HURIWA on its lamented that the Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, has not taken drastic measures to punish his staff accused of kidnapping and raping a citizen only because she criticised him on the social media.

“Kogi State has just had a tumultuous election in which violence took the centre stage with armed political thugs using violence to return the All Progressives Congress governor to power,” HURIWA claimed in a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko and made available to DAILY POST on Sunday.

“It is alleged that most of the newly-appointed commissioners may have worked as political thugs or those who procured disposable armed political thugs who manipulated that shameful election in which even the Inspector-General of Police Mohammed Adamu publicly admitted that armed political thugs were better armed than the regular police.

“It is usually the practice in most states that after elections those who helped to instal the governor are rewarded. Kogi is not an exception.

“So it may be practically impossible for the governor of Kogi State to professionally supervise any independent investigation into the allegations of abduction, false imprisonment and alleged rape of a citizen.

“HURIWA has learnt that governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has ordered accelerated investigation into the alleged battering and rape of a beauty queen, Elizabeth Oyeniyi, by the state Commissioner for Water Resources, Abdumumini Danga.

“However, we are not comfortable with this politically tainted investigation ordered by the governor. This probe will end up in a cover up.

“The best bet is for the Federal Attorney General and Minister of Justice to step in and request the office of the Inspector General of Police Mohammed Adamu to investigate the allegations and for the Federal Attorney General and Minister of Justice to personally file a matter of rape if the investigations reach a considered conclusion that indeed the beauty queen was raped by the Kogi state commissioner.

“The Inspector General of Police and the Director General of Department of States Services should protect this victim of a high profile Kogi State official who has the capacity to harm the victim for daring to report him to the relevant authorities after she faced the ordeals of physical and psychological tortures.”

HURIWA recalled that the beauty Queen, Miss, Oyeniyi had on March 29, 2020, made a post on her Facebook page about Danga not taking care of his sibling, who is her friend. It was gathered that the post did not go down well with Danga and he allegedly ordered his boys to look for Oyeniyi and beat her up.

The victim told an Abuja human rights activist that after she was beaten by the boys, she was ordered to strip naked and apologise to the commissioner thereafter. The 23-year-old beauty queen added that the commissioner took her to a hotel and raped her.

She said, “I left Abuja for Okene to stay with my friend because of the spread of the COVID-19 and on getting there, she explained to me that the commissioner, who is her stepbrother, had not been taking care of her.

“I saw a post made by a local comedian showing the commissioner distributing foodstuffs to people and I made a post that charity should begin at home and that the commissioner should take care of his household before taking care of outsiders.

“The comedian saw the post and screenshot it after insulting me in the comment section for making that kind of post. An hour later, some guys came to my friend’s house to pick us up on the instructions of the commissioner and they took us to Lokoja.

On getting to Lokoja, I was beaten up by the commissioner and his boys; I was asked to strip naked and a video was made and my friend and I were made to apologise under duress to his fans and him that what I posted about him was wrong. He later took me to a hotel for the night and forcefully had sex with me

Quality20:
Nope. Rather we need to be more stupidly sentimental and overtly religious fanatics and also spread unfounded rumours and try n malign those in power, while provoking n stocking crisis, religious/ethnic ones. This op is an evil soul

Daddy @MBuhari we are missing you in London. When are you coming to visit us? �

The fact remains the he was dethroned

Ovonramwen was not enthroned by the British and was therefore not subordinate to them from beginning.

coolitempa:
Story....he was still dethroned. Stop crying like a kid. I respect the Benin kingdom but he was dethroned.

moscobabs:
Oba Ovonramweh Nogbaisi was dethroned in 1897

Dasuki Sultan of Sokoto was dethroned in 1995

seunmsg:
Rubbish. There is no untouchable king in Nigeria right now. Governors are actually the real Kings as far as states are concerned. Alaafin, Sultan and Oba of Benin have all been dethroned by government in the past without any problem. No king is bigger than the state governor. They all serve at the mercy of the state government.

I dare the OBA to support comrade Adams Osho on his present travails.
Think deep

TylerDurden:
Forget story.

The President can remove him and replace him with another dynasty.

The people of Bini will do nothing!

why reply a toddler perhaps wait until u notice the first pubic hair..

RuddyFusion:
Rubbish talk....any mortal can be removed with reason or no reason...

id4sho:
Calm down, who gave the oba staff of office? Governor.
The governor has to adhere to the rules of local government and chieftaincy. if he errs , na the commissioner go tidy him matter . What happened to the Benin empire when the British struck. Go back to your history books, Ask Sultan Dasuki hw far. The Governor is nobody's mate. The President is the Lord, I repeat.
The monarchs are at the mercy of the executives.

Don't deceive yourself with DAT yeye slogan "long live the king" in Bini language
