I'm currently a 7 months dad to the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Her name is Paris.

The first 3 months were the tough months because she was an alarm clock grin at a particular hour of the night mostly around 2/3am ... From that time till almost daybreak it's straight up vigilante work.

But after the 3 months, she starts sleeping like us tongue and it was a case of who would wake up from bed firstly.

The first 6 months was exclusive breast feeding, I only bough clothes and pampers, NO feed.

It's not as hard as it seems. If you love your child, everything will be easy sacrifice.



Good luck.

Crime › Lagos Police RRS Intercept Car Stolen In Abuja By Owner’s Driver by Parizz(op): 7:48am On Oct 27, 2021
The Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the Lagos State Police Command has intercepted a Toyota Camry 2010 model stolen in Abuja.

The RRS confirmed the theft in a statement on Facebook on Tuesday.

The car went missing on Sunday October 10, three days after it was delivered to the owner.
The woman’s driver drove to Lagos after dropping her at a church in the Garki area of the nation’s capital.

The suspect, whose name was given as Bamidele, sold the car in Marwa Ghetto, Lekki, for N500,000.

The buyer, identified as Abiodun, was heading to Sango in Ogun State after depositing N120,000 with Bamidele when officers stopped him.

The RRS confirmed that the owner had been contacted and the vehicle handed over to the station where she lodged a complaint.

Politics › My Achievements In Kogi Desired At National Level, Says Yahaya Bello by Parizz(op): 9:06am On Oct 26, 2021
Yayaha Bello, governor of Kogi state, says he is ready to take over the leadership of the country from President Muhammadu Buhari come 2023.

Speaking during an Arise TV programme on Monday, the governor said his achievements in Kogi state are desired at the national level.

Bello said he is not in support of rotational presidency , adding that the best person with the capacity to unite Nigerians should be the one to rule.

He argued that his track record in governing Kogi in the past six years is the reason Nigerians are “yearning” for him to become the president.

“Almost six years down the line, Kogi is united more than ever before. Now come to 2023, what I have been able to achieve in Kogi state is desired at national level which I’m sure you know we are living in a global village which whatever you do even in your bedroom is noticed out there,” Bello said.

“If Nigerians across board; youth, women, leaders and followers seeing my leadership style, uniting the people, bringing in experts, adding value to governance, prudent and sincere way and manner of utilisation of our resources and getting the results, balancing the equation which is most desired in the country today, if this multitude is yearning and calling me to come and serve this great nation in the year 2023 after president Muhammadu Buhari, I will say, yes I’m ready.”

Asked why he can’t wait to complete his second term as governor in 2024 before vying for the presidency, Bello said the interest of the nation supersedes his and that of the Kogi people.

“Serving Nigeria in that greater capacity will serve the interest of the people of Kogi state, Nigerians, Africa and even black race than I remaining the executive governor of Kogi state,” he said

“By the grace of God when I would have [been] sworn in as the president and commander-in-chief taking over from Buhari on May 29, 2023, Nigeria will have a heave of relief.”

I see people calling me out for calling Dune plot generic.

Their only defense is that the book is this and that..... The book is not in contention here, I rated the plot of the movie based on my own personal opinion which last I checked, I was still entitled to.

Perhaps the movie makers should have elaborated more on the underlying peculiarities of the whole storyline instead of making the whole movie a weak plotted B-movie with top tier visual effects and A-cast.





Don't know when watching movies became a strenuous project where I have to spend days, weeks or even months reading series of books because I want to understand a movie of less than 3 hours.
If I had applied such dedication to my academics, will I be so poor here today ravaging the high seas before watching blockbusters?

Politics › Army To Court-martial 158 Personnel In North-east by Parizz(op): 3:56pm On Oct 09, 2021
The Nigerian Army’s Joint Taskforce North-East Operation Hadin Kai, on Saturday, inaugurated two court martials to try defaulting personnel serving at the operation ground in the North-East.

The military personnel numbering 158 will, according to the Theatre Commander of the Joint Taskforce, Maj. Gen. Christopher Musa, be tried on matters that pertain directly to the regimentation, discipline, efficiency and morale of the military.

Musa made this assertion while inaugurating the general and special court-martials in Maiduguri, Borno State.

FG vows to give adequate support to military
“To maintain the armed forces in a state of readiness, the military as an institution must be ready to enforce internal discipline effectively in accordance with the extant laws,” the Theatre Commander stated.

“The military has its code of service discipline to meet its peculiar disciplinary needs. In this regard, emphasis shall be laid on statute laws and the traditional military regimentation with due adherence to the fair hearing requirements as enshrined in the Constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria as amended,” he noted.

Also speaking, the President of the General Court Martial, Maj Gen. Bainze Mohammed, said there are 28 officers to be tried while the remaining 130 are soldiers serving in the various units of the operation ground.

Foreign Affairs › Libya’s Eastern Forces Agree To Withdraw Mercenaries by Parizz(op): 2:59pm On Oct 09, 2021
The eastern side in Libya’s conflict have agreed with its opponents on a plan for a phased withdrawal of foreign forces and mercenaries, but gave no details or timeline for a move seen as crucial to cementing a year-old ceasefire.

Mercenaries brought by the foreign powers involved in Libya, including Russia and Turkey, remain entrenched on both sides despite the ceasefire and a parallel political process aimed at resolving the decade-long crisis through elections.

Both those U.N.-backed efforts are seen as highly fragile, however, with a constant risk that the process could unravel.

An eastern military official said the joint committee meeting in Geneva had agreed on a “an action plan for the withdrawal of mercenaries and foreign forces in a gradual, balanced and simultaneous way”.

The official added that international monitors and a monitoring mechanism were needed before any withdrawal could begin. Libyan Foreign Minister Najla Mangoush said that a very modest number of mercenaries had already left.

Forces from western Libya involved in the talks were not immediately available to comment.

The committee was formed through a U.N.-backed ceasefire agreed last year that followed the collapse of eastern-based commander Khalifa Haftar’s 14-month offensive against Tripoli.

His assault was the latest bout of fighting in a series of conflicts between rival factions since the 2011 uprising that ousted Muammar Gaddafi, drawing in foreign powers.

In 2014, Libya split between western and eastern factions with rival administrations, but the latest U.N.-backed peace push led to the installation of a unity government in March.

Russia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt backed Haftar’s Libyan National Army (LNA) in the conflict. Turkey supported the previous Tripoli-based government, which was recognised by the United Nations.

Foreign mercenaries from Russia’s Wagner Group as well as from Syria, Chad and Sudan have been deployed on front lines. This week, U.N. human rights investigators linked mercenaries to possible war crimes.

Politics › Court To Deliver Judgment In Suit Against Abdulrasheed Maina Nov. 8 by Parizz(op): 5:41pm On Oct 08, 2021
Justice Okon Abang of a Federal High Court, Abuja on Friday fixed Nov. 8 for judgment in the alleged N2.1 billion fraud suit filed against Abdulrasheed Maina, Chairman, defunct Pension Reformed Task Team (PRTT).

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had, on Oct. 25, 2019, arraigned Maina (1st defendant), alongside his firm, Common Input Property and Investment Ltd (2nd defendant) before the judge.

The defendants, however, pleaded not guilty to the 12-count charge bordering on money laundering to the tune of N2 billion.

Earlier, Anayo Adibe, who was counsel to Maina, had prayed the court to give the defence more time to file their final written addresses, following the dismissal of their Aug. 6 motion, praying the court to reopen his client’s case to allow them call their witnesses.

He said he made the plea in the interest of fair hearing and the interest of justice.
But the EFCC’s lawyer, Farouk Abdullah opposed the call for an adjournment.

Abdullah stressed that in the last adjourned date (on July 16), the court gave a specific order that the final written addresses of all the parties would be heard.

According to him, the defendant has almost three months to comply with court order but they did not do so.

“Only for the defendant to ask for an adjournment this morning.

“The defendant cannot dictate to this court how to conduct business.

“We are opposed to the application for adjournment. If it pleases my lord, may we proceed on adoption of our final written address,” the agency’s lawyer said.

Justice Abang, in a short ruling then closed Maina’s right to file a final written address and ordered Abdullah to adopt his final written addresses.

The judge held that the defence had denied themselves to be heard and not the court.

“They cannot dictate to the court when to file their written addresses and no material is placed before the court to seek for an adjournment in their favour,” he held
Abang, who noted that Maina counsel only adopted a legal strategy to further delay the trial, said: “Where the strategy fails, they cannot turn around and beg the court.”

He then adjourned the matter for judgment.

NAN reports that Faisal, Maina’s son, was on Thursday, committed to 24 years imprisonment on three-count charge bordering on money laundering.

The judge said the prison terms; five years for count one, 14 years for count two and five years for count three would run concurrently.

Politics › Sanwo-Olu Grants Reduction Of Fines For Traffic Offenders by Parizz(op): 7:30pm On Oct 07, 2021
The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has granted a reduction of fines for traffic offenders in the state.
This was disclosed on Thursday by the state government via an official statement titled, ‘Remorseful traffic offenders get Sanwo-olu’s clemency to pay reduced fines’.

According to the statement, the Governor met with some of the traffic offenders during an unscheduled visit to the holding facility of the Lagos State Environment and Special Offences Enforcement Unit (Task Force) in Alausa.

The purpose of the visit was to access the operation activities of the unit. However, some of the traffic offenders met with the Governor, pleading for him to intervene in their cases.

Despite reprimanding the traffic offenders, the Governor decided to grant them a reduction in the fines for their offences.

The statement quoted Sanwo-Olu as saying, “You all (offenders) have admitted to flouting traffic regulations and you are here because you don’t want to be arraigned for your offences in our mobile court.

“I have requested for the list of all vehicles in this facility and I will be meeting with the Task Force officers on it.

“We will still get judgement on your offences but we will grant you the opportunity for reduction in the fines to be paid.

“If I give you this opportunity, you must not be caught again for flouting the traffic rules. The laws are there and no one is above the law.

“I will intervene to reduce the fines for you and you must be remorseful. Anyone caught again would have his vehicle completely impounded. You must be law-abiding and respect the lives of our fellow citizens.”

Politics › US Opens Window On America In Osogbo by Parizz(op): 1:27pm On Oct 06, 2021
The consulate general has disclosed that the United States has opened a Window on America in Osogbo, the Osun State, which would serve as a community resource center for accurate and current information about the political, economic, cultural, educational, and social life in the United States.

Delivering a keynote remarks at a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Osun State University Teaching Hospital (OSUTH), the U.S. Consulate Public Affairs Officer, Mr. Stephen Ibelli, noted that the new space would offer a calendar of programs on topics of interest designed to bring Americans and Nigerians closer together.

“We are so excited today to launch the Window on American here in Osogbo,” Ibelli said. “With its modern design, computer workstations, books, and perhaps most importantly, an open space for members of the community to host conversations of mutual interest, the new center exemplifies the U.S. government’s commitment to a core tenet of democracy: A citizen’s right to free access to information.”

He explained that the Osogbo Window on America would be a reference point for free information. “Through the Osogbo Window on America we will provide employability and leadership training for young people, offer information on study opportunities in the U.S., showcase American culture and values, as well as foster closer people-to-people ties between the people of Nigeria and the United States,” Ibelli added.

The Chief Medical Director of OSUTH, Professor Peter Olaitan, expressed appreciation at the location of the Window on America at the medical facility. He expressed optimism that staff, students and residents of Osogbo would benefit from the resources available at the center.

A Window on America is a type of American Space located in over 150 countries worldwide. In order to engage more Nigerian audiences in their local communities, the U.S. Mission is adding new Windows on America to the family of American Spaces in Nigeria.

Windows on America provides a venue for the embassy and consulate outreach activities, offering a meeting place for U.S. Government alumni, and a host of visiting speakers (including embassy staff, Fulbright scholars, and other Americans), film series, and other events that promote a better understanding of the United States.

Politics › Bandit Terrorists Demand N60m Ransom For Niger Perm-sec by Parizz(op): 10:02am On Oct 05, 2021
Gunmen suspected to bandit terrorists who abducted the Permanent Secretary in Niger Ministry of Transportation, Ibrahim Garba Musa and his grandchild have demanded 60 million Naira ransom from his family.

Naija News had earlier reported that Garba was in Zugeru for a wedding celebration before he was abducted in his house on Friday night

A source in the family had disclosed that the terrorists gained access to the government official house after breaking down the gate to abduct Musa who was relaxing after the wedding celebration.

A family source that spoke with Daily Trust on the incident disclosed that the kidnappers demanded ransom on Sunday evening for his release and his grandchild.

The source said, “On Sunday evening, they called demanding N60m ransom. But after a serious bargain, they pegged it down to N30m. So, they are still maintaining that N30m. But Family doesn’t have that money.

We would continue to bargain when next they called.”

The family called on the Niger State government to assist in rescuing the perm sec and his three-year-old son unhurt.

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has advised against travelling by night, citing the deplorable state of most federal roads and increasing insecurity across the country.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) says the FRSC Sector Commander in Kogi, Solomon Agure, made the assertions in a statement on Monday in Lokoja.

Canvassing against overspeeding, Mr Agure said no good road experience could come out of speeding, overloading, use of phone while driving, use of mechanically deficient vehicles, failure to use seatbelt and safety crash helmet, and several other road use infractions.

Mr Agure said arrangements had been made for the commencement of 2021’s Ember Months and Operation Zero Tolerance to Road Traffic Campaign in Kogi.

He said that the campaign would be carried out under the theme: “Maintain Safe Speed, Avoid Night Travels And Enjoy Quality Road Experience”, and that the safety corps would be on the lookout to enforce strict compliance to laws and orders on the highways.

Mr Agure said there would be high visibility of the corps on the roads across the state toward achieving the goals of the operation from now till middle of January, 2022.

He said that the command was planning to deploy over 800 personnel, 20 patrol vehicles, four ambulances and heavy tow trucks for control of traffic.

“It aims at ensuring route lining, clear obstruction and respond to distress calls for all to have maximum road use experience during and after the period,” he said.

Politics › IPOB: INEC Requests For 24,000 Security Agents For Anambra Elections by Parizz(op): 11:17am On Oct 01, 2021
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has requested 24,000 security personnel to enable it to conduct the November 6 governorship election in Anambra state.

This is amid online threats by proponents of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) who continue to push for and work towards the cancellation of the Anambra 2021 election slated for next month.

Per Punch on Friday, the State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr Nwachukwu Orji, made the request during a one-day sensitization workshop on political broadcast organised by the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) in Awka, the Anambra State capital.

According to him, 26,000 ad hoc staff with 24,000 security personnel were needed to conduct the election.

While stressing the importance of a knowledgeable electorate in terms of civic education and enlightenment, Orji said the commission was battling to overcome escalating security challenges posed by secessionist agitators, gunmen and COVID-19 pandemic.

Recall POLITICS NIGERIA had reported that on Tuesday, Dr Chike Akunyili, widower of the late Minister of Information and erstwhile Director-General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Prof Dora Akunyili, was killed by hoodlums who were reportedly shouting: “No election in Anambra in November.” People in his convoy too were not spared.

Governor Nyesom Wike has threatened to bar Godswill Akpabio, the minister of Niger Delta Affairs, from using a road Rivers government is constructing.

Mr Wike accused the minister of reneging on his pledge to contribute to the road construction.

“As I speak, you have not brought one naira,” the governor told Mr Akpabio.

“Meanwhile, the road is almost 35 per cent ready. If you don’t pay, I’ll make sure you do not use that road to your headquarters. Because, yes, I’m not a Father Christmas.”

The Rivers governor revealed that there was an agreement between his government, the NDDC, and the Niger Delta Affairs on how to contribute to the construction.

“Mr Minister, (Akpabio), you are here. You and the MD.

You told me in the Government House that you will partner the state government. You said you would bring N2.5 billion, and the state will bring N2.5 billion for the dualisation of the bypass,” Mr Wike said at the inauguration of the Muhammadu Buhari Nigeria Police Protection Unit, an NDDC 68 flats project in Port Harcourt.

Vice president Yemi Osinbajo was in Port Harcourt on Tuesday to inaugurate the project and other facilities.

Health › NAFDAC Raises Alarm Over Use Of Petrol Tankers To Convey Groundnut Oil, Others by Parizz(op): 8:44am On Sep 27, 2021
National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, has raised the alarm over the alleged use of petrol and kerosene tankers to convey groundnut and vegetable oil in some parts of the country.

Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, Director General of the agency who raised the alarm at a sensitization campaign in Nnewi in Anambra State, urged Nigerians to tak their destinies in their hands by reporting such ‘evil activities’ to the nearest NAFDAC office or any other law enforcement agencies closer to them.

The Director General, who was represented by the Director Public Affair of the agency, Dr. Abubakar Jimoh, called on all Nigerians to remain vigilant in that regard, stressing that anyone suspected to have used petrol or kerosene tankers to convey groundnut oil must be arrested by security operatives to avert health crisis.

The DG, who described the act as ‘evil and dangerous’ to health of the general public, appealed to kerosene and petrol tankers to stop the act with immediate effect due to health implications.

“This is another dangerous trend that we are witnessing currently. We are therefore, calling on all citizens of the country to be vigilant. Any motorist see or suspected to be doing that should be reported to NAFDAC or security agency.

“We rely on intelligence information as NAFDAC cannot be everywhere to motor the trend, this is a very dangerous practice,” she said.

According to her, “You don’t need rocket science to inform you that mixing petrol or kerosene together with the food that will go to people’s stomach is very dangerous and can kill or cause life-threatening diseases.

“It is an evil practice currently going on.

Most times when these petrol or kerosene tanker drivers see that they don’t have business, they switch to conveying groundnut oil in same tankers. Such contamination can cause serious damage to the health of members of the general public.

“This is because there is no way anyone can think of conducting laboratory analysis on vegetable or groundnut oil you take for granted.”

The DG further appealed to owners of petrol or kerosene tankers to ensure the their drivers are not found wanting over the evil trend by some unscrupulous human beings.

“NAFDAC is concerned about this dangerous practice that has come to our knowledge and we deem it necessary to alert the general public so that they can assist us in the campaign to dissuade people from doing that by reporting such activities to us or security operatives.

“It is evil to try to make money at the detriment of the health of members of the general public. Even the owners of the petrol tankers or their family members can be victims.

“We are warning them to desist from that as it is a dangerous practice. It is an act of wickedness to make money at the altar of public health,” Prof. Adeyeye said.

Politics › CAN Honours Plateau Imam Who Saved Christians From Attacks by Parizz(op): 7:28pm On Sep 26, 2021
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has honoured Imam Abdullahi Abubakar, who saved over 200 Christians from attacks in Barkin Ladi LGA, Plateau State.

The CAN President, Dr Samson Olasupo Ayokunle, conferred the award on Imam Abubakar at the “Sapphire CAN Day” Award of Excellence and Dinner organised to mark the 45th anniversary on Saturday’s night in Abuja.


The Imam saved over 200 people on June 24 when suspected herdsmen invaded 15 communities in the Barkin Ladi LGA, killing over 200 people.

The United States Government in July 2019 honoured the 83-year-old Muslim cleric along with four religious leaders from Sudan, Iraq, Brazil and Cyprus, with the 2019 International Religious Freedom Award, which is given to advocates of religious freedom.

Speaking at the event, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo urged Christian and other Nigerian leaders to be advocates of freedom of worship, justice and the rule of law.

Prof. Osinbajo, who was also honoured at the event, delivered President Muhammadu Buhari and the Federal Government’s felicitations to CAN on the celebration.

“In pursuit of a more united and peaceful society, Christian groups and leaders of faith in Nigeria must preach fairness and equity at all times and be relentless advocates of freedom of worship, justice and the rule of law,” Osinbajo said.

He said fairness, equity and respect for the rights of others are fundamental to peace and security, hence Christian leaders at all levels must strive to promote those virtues despite the challenges.

He said, “We must continue to let the important truth be known that Christ did not come to establish a religion or to condemn men but to show all men that his own righteousness, not our righteousness or performance, is the qualification for eternal life.”

Commending the works of current and past leadership of CAN in promoting religious tolerance, the Vice President said CAN had not only been continually faithful to its founding vision but it has also become a veritable force for peace, unity and social justice in the country.

“We are also proud of the enormous work that the current executive of CAN, led by Rev. Supo Ayokunle, has done.

“I am aware of your collaboration with the leadership of the Islamic and other faiths, to reconcile where there are conflicts, to pacify where there has been offence, and to reprimand where there have been misdeeds.”

Presenting the Award of Excellence to the Vice President, CAN President, Dr Ayokunle, said the honour was in recognition of Prof. Osinbajo’s outstanding performance in public service over the past years, both at state and national levels.

Politics › Tanker Drivers’ Protest In Niger State Takes New Turn by Parizz(op): 8:54am On Sep 25, 2021
The blockade of the Minna to Bida road by trailer and tanker drivers which started on Thursday took a new twist yesterday whe the blockade was extended to the Lambatta to Bida road.

This is even as the Niger State Government has said that the opening of the Bida-Minna Road “is not an option for now.”

Following the action of the protesters, vehicular movements between the two axis had been paralysed leading to confusion and trauma on the part of travellers.

The state government had closed the Minna to Bida road a year ago to give way for smooth operation by the construction company saddled with the reconstruction of the over 100 kilometre road.

The action of the government was also informed by the alleged continued damage of portions of the road already reconstructed.

However, spokesman of Petroleum Tanker Drivers Association Alhaji Alhassan Salihu, has vowed that they would not back down from their action unless the road was reopened for them to ply.

In a statement yesterday, the state Commissioner for Information, Mohammed Sani Idris, said reopening of the road was “not an option for now” and blamed the federal government for the latest development.

“Niger State is the gateway between the North and South-west. It hosts the highest stretch of federal roads in the country yet the federal roads in the state have been mostly neglected. The state government continues to expend limited resources on Trunk A roads even when it’s also faced with several challenges that are primarily its duty in the governance of Niger State.

“Nigerlites of goodwill have implored and continue to beg the federal government to help not only Nigerlites but the entire country by fixing the Trunk A Lambata-Lapai-Bida Road and Jenna-Birnin Gwari-Kaduna Road to resolve this issue of heavy duty vehicles regularly damaging the Minna-Bida road.

“As it stands today, the entire stretch of the entire roads in Niger State are suffering because of these heavy-duty vehicles. Only a few months ago these same vehicles completely destroyed the Minna-Zungeru Road, they’ve also destroyed the Bida-Zungeru Road and are now looking to destroy the work ongoing on Minna-Bida Road. The state government will not allow that,” Idris declared.

The commissioner added that :”The Governor Abubakar Sani Bello administration is determined that the road construction must go on and as such, opening the Minna-Bida Road to heavy-duty vehicles is not an option for now for that would destroy everything the government has done and taxpayers’ money would be wasted redoing what was already done.”

Politics › Alleged Right Violation: Court Fixes Nov. 30 For Judgment In Sanusi’s Suit by Parizz(op): 8:57am On Sep 24, 2021
A Federal High Court, Abuja, on Thursday fixed Nov. 30 for judgment in a suit filed by deposed Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi II against the Kano State government and others over alleged violation of his rights.

Justice Anwuli Chikere fixed the date after counsel to parties in the matter adopted all their processes and final argument taken.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the deposed emir had, on March 12, 2020, sued the Inspector-General (I-G) of Police and Director-General, Department of State Services (DSS) over what he called “unlawful detention/confinement” at the Federal High Court, Abuja.

Also joined in the motion with suit number: FHC/ABJ/CS 357/2020 are the Attorney-General of Kano State and Attorney General of the Federation as 3rd and 4th respondents respectively.

The former emir had, in a motion -ex-parte dated March 12 by his team of lawyers, sought an interim order of the court releasing him from the detention and/or confinement of the respondents and restoring his right to human dignity, personal liberty.

NAN reports that Sanusi, after his banishment from Kano, was confined to Awe town, Nasarawa State.

The presiding judge, Justice Anwuli Chikere, however. ordered his immediate release.

Although the deposed emir had since been released after the court ruling, the case is still in court as the originating motion was yet to be determined by the court.

Sanusi’s counsel, Abubakar Mamoud, SAN, told the court that the case was not a chieftaincy matter, because his client was not challenging his deposition.

Mamoud said his client’s complaint was about the alleged violation of his fundamental rights in relation to the manner he was shabbily treated after he was deposed.

“This is not a chieftaincy matter. The applicant (Sanusi) is not challenging the respondents’ action as regard his removal as Emir of Kano, but the way he was bundled to Abuja and banished to a remote location,” Mahmoud said.

He added that it is not in doubt that Sanusi, as a prominent citizen of this country, was shabbily treated in the manner he was bundled to Abuja and subsequently banished to a remote location.

Mamoud faulted the respondents’ applications, challenging the Abuja court’s jurisdiction to hear the case.

He argued that no law supports the position that where rights violation occurs across several jurisdictions, one cannot approach a court in any of the jurisdictions.

He stated further that it was clear from the way his client was treated that his rights were violated, and as such, he was entitled to seek protection from the court.

Mahmoud urged the court to grant all the reliefs sought by the ex-Emir in his suit.

Responding, lawyer to the I-G, Victor Okoye, corroborated Mahmoud’s submission.

He faulted the competence of the suit and queried the court’s jurisdiction to hear it.

Okoye, in challenging the jurisdiction of the court, noted that the instrument conveying the ex-Emir’s banishment was authored and endorsed by an official of the Kano State Government in the state.

He argued that the appropriate venue for Sanusi to seek redress for the alleged violation of his rights was a court in Kano State.

Okoye urged the court to either strike the case out or dismiss it.

Lawyer to the DG of the DSS, Godwin Agbadua, argued in similar manner and also challenged the court’s jurisdiction. Agbadua urged the court to strike out the suit on the grounds that the alleged rights violation occurred in Kano, adding that there is a Federal High Court in Kano, before which Sanusi could seek redress.

“Where there are infringement in sequence, the court with jurisdiction is that where the alleged infringement commenced, which by the applicant’s affidavit, is Kano and there is a Federal High Court in Kano,” Agbadua added.

Lawyer to the AG of Kano State, Musa Mohammed, equally faulted the competence of the suit and the jurisdiction of the court in Abuja to hear the case.

Mohammed prayed the court to dismiss the suit.
