obembet: It's now official that Mr Buhari died on Sunday at a London hospital according to his spokesperson, Garba Shehu.
He said “The family of the former president has announced the passing of the former president, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, this afternoon in a clinic in London. May Allah accept him in Aljannatul Firdaus, Amin,” Mr Shehu wrote on X.
The former president has been abroad since April. According to sources close to his family, Mr Buhari initially travelled to the United Kingdom for what was described as a routine medical check-up, but subsequently took ill.
Mr Buhari was Nigeria’s president between 2015 and 2023. He stepped down on 29 May 2023 after serving his constitutionally permitted two terms
Muhammadu Buhari also served as Nigeria's president twice: first as military head of state from 1983 to 1985
Some people rate BUHARI as best president ever while some believe that's there are some lapses, so as for you how will you rate BUHARI and what are you going to remember him for?

greggng: Are you now wiser that the judge thst says her suspension of 6months runs contrary to our constitution.. .that is excessive in nature and cannot be complied ? Do you know the meaning of this statement ? Does senate have right to suspend her ? The answer is yes ...is the duration legal ...the answer is No... if you suspend someone for a while period that person is expected to represent his people ...then you are evil cos you don't want anything good for the people ...you didn't vote for the her ...she is answerable to her people ...denying her that opportunity over a petty issue is evil and unconstitutional...so said the court. You can argue with yourself but you can't change our law for your selfish reasons
Did the Judge order the Senate to terminate the suspension? Did the judge say the suspension can't be complied or obeyed?
The duration of suspension is legal as long as the Senate rules and regulations permit.
According to that judgement, it is only the Senate that can terminate the suspension, not by order of the court.
Stop infering the judgement of the court. That is the reason the CTC copy of the judgement is released to the public for you to study.
Read it again and tell me where the judge ordered the Senate to terminate the suspension.
CodeTemplar: Is It Proper For Alpha Beta to Get Fixed Cut of Lagos Tax Revenue?
Considering how taxes are paid, the process of receiving a N10 million tax into the state coffer is similar to the process of receiving a N1,000 tax. Why should a consultant get a cut of 10% for both transactions thereby banking N1million for the bigger tax and just N100 for the smaller tax.
The cut of Apha Beta as a consultant is suppose to be a flat fee if it is to be done on a transaction amount basis.
Yes, that is consultancy and administrative fees.
You may question the rate applied (percentage) but not the legality of the fees.
Besides, that is the contract t they engaged and sealed with the Lagos State Government. So it is valid and legal.
greggng: Why do we now have constitution if every arm.is God on itself..? You are ignorant of the law ..The judiciary is there to checkmate the other arms of government Separation of power doesn't mean they should stay clear of each other activities ...Even when such activity harms our constitution ..
Some people are just ........
The judiciary can only checkmate other arms of government with the law - when the other arms of government violate the law.
In this Natasha's case of suspension, there was no violation of the law.
The separation of powers stands on certain things like lawful activities within the Senate and House of Representatives or the Judiciary, vice versa.
Have you ever wondered why the only body that punishes, investigates or try judges and recommend judges to the executive government for appointment is the National Judicial Council (NJC)?
Meektunz: Sometimes court order is like advice especially if you know the law very well... As far as it is in the judgement then it's part of the ruling.
The judge recognizes that the Senate is a legislative arm of government and the judge belongs to the judiciary.
The fundamental issue that was probed by the judge (judiciary) is whether or not the action of the Senate is lawful based on the Senate's laws and since there were laws of the Senate backing the action.
The action could not be invalidated but the judge only faulted the extent of the punishment on the grounds of proper representation of the Kogi senatorial district she represents.
However, the judge (judiciary arm) can't make an order to control, change or counter lawful proceedings or activities in the Senate (legislative arm).

Xso666: Hello nairalanders, I am new to this forum and I was introduced by a friend of mine to this forum to seek advice on how to go about my marital issue.
Here is the problem, I married my wife a virgin and as at that time she was almost done with schooling as I met her when I went to stay with a friend around her school area. So we connected and then I told her I had interest in her and I would like for us to be in a relationship so she agreed and we started dating.
Fast forward to 2024 she was done with school so I went to pay her bride price and then brought her over to Lagos where I stay and then we started living together as husband and wife.
Everything has been moving fine after I disvirgined my wife and I felt like I was the luckiest man on earth and I feel like I already made it in life because I believe as a man if you get a good wife then you have solved 80% of your problem the remaining 20% will be making money to sustain the family.
So of lately I notice my virgin wife became so addicted to sex that she barely can’t go a day without sex and I am ready to give it to her any day any time.
So I traveled for work sometimes around feb 2025 and I stayed 2 weeks over there so when I came back I decided to take a stroll with my wife to get something down the street so I noticed as I was getting something she greeted a guy that sells female stuffs in my street so immediately I turned to talk to her she quickly discharged the guy and then they both acted like they were not talking together well I was unbothered because I mean the guy is just a trader doing his business and maybe she bought something from him and so I suspected nothing. Not until I noticed my wife likes going out to get things and she would spend time outside and this is something she doesn’t like doing before so I thought she is getting used to the Lagos life and so she is enjoying herself now and comfortable now in Lagos. I never had any insecurities whatsoever because I don’t believe she could have anything to do with any man since I married her a virgin although I know she has high sexual drive but I still think she can’t do no such thing.
Fast forward to sometimes around June I traveled again but this time somewhere close to where I live so I told her I would be spending a week or more and so I left to work getting there we lodged and waiting for update as regards to why we are here so on the 3rd day the contractor called and said we should all go and come back that the job has been rescheduled till the next month so I decided to go back home that same day since it was not far from where I stay so I tried reaching out to my wife’s number but she wasn’t reachable so I thought her phone was off, so I boarded a bus home to relax and break the news to her only to find my house locked and my wife wasn’t home and her phone was not going through so I managed to open the door using my spare key and then went inside and took my shower then I went to the kitchen but there was no food to eat so I decided to prepare something for us to eat in the house. I tried reaching my wife again and still not reachable and it was getting late already so I was worried and was curious to know what happened to her because she’s not so conversant with areas in Lagos. So I decided to pray and take some wine while I wait to think of my next action.
Suddenly she messaged me and told me she has not been able to charge her phone and there have not been light in the house, so I asked her where she was and she told me she was in the house and then I told her to come on video call I want to show her something I got for her but she told me the ba3 will die that she managed to use this to call me so I know she’s fine well I told her there was no problem and she should do her to make sure the battery don’t die so we can communicate tonight. So I went outside the compound only for me to find my wife coming back that night with this guy that sells female stuffs down the street and she was so shocked to see me at home she shouted immediately saw me and the guy just disappeared from no where.
Till now I don’t just know what to do because I married this woman a virgin but she has turned something else and I don’t know if to tell her parents or handle this like a man within us here although she told me she didn’t do anything with him that he tried to have her but she didn’t but how do I believe that please guys help me move this to front page so I get more suggestions as I am really confused.
Do you have kids?
If you don't, that makes it easier.
I am not going to say this over and over to you: never forget that I said it.
QUIT THAT MARRIAGE NOW! IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR YOU TO REMAIN IN THAT MARRIAGE!
correctyourself: Read below link of what other nation has for us, while Nigerian leaders are busy keeping malice on issues of no importance to us , this what am saying. it does not take them 2 months on this decision, unlike the 6 months people, because they don't know the value of six month what one can achieve
JimRohn: Your entire position sounds polished but falls apart under real scrutiny — so let’s set the record straight:
1️⃣ You preach ‘diplomacy’ but ignore injustice. When a senator is unlawfully sidelined, her seat moved without explanation, and her voice suppressed, she has every right — and duty — to challenge it directly. Diplomacy does not mean rolling over when bullied by a system protecting its own impunity.
2️⃣ ‘Unruly and disruptive’? Yes — disruptive to the status quo that fears accountability. Nigeria’s ‘Red Chamber’ is no shrine of decorum; it’s a hotbed of political games. Natasha’s refusal to play submissive puppet is exactly why she rattles those who hide behind procedural gimmicks.
3️⃣ Your ‘facts’ are conveniently selective. Her sexual harassment allegations were stated openly, and her legal team is handling them properly. Social media spin and your so-called ‘Prof Mgbeke’ distractions don’t erase the point: instead of facing the claims through credible, transparent investigation, the Senate leadership hides behind character smears. Why so afraid of due process if she’s lying?
4️⃣ ‘Nobody recognizes her’? That’s wishful thinking. She’s recognized by the ordinary people who see her tangible work on the ground — roads, schools, markets, empowerment — unlike the career benchwarmers you praise for empty handshakes and photo-ops. Good character isn’t meek silence while corruption thrives; it’s the courage to confront rot head-on.
5️⃣ Your jail threat says it all. When all else fails, you resort to intimidation — typical of a system that can’t win on facts, only on technicalities and power plays. If you were so sure she’s guilty of anything, you’d welcome open court and let the truth stand. Instead, you’re desperate to paint her as a criminal before any verdict.
👉🏼 Bottom line: Natasha doesn’t need your fake coaching on how to ‘thread softly.’ Nigeria’s problem is too many spineless politicians threading softly while the country rots. She’s not your mother — true — but her courage embarrasses the ‘fathers of the nation’ who have sold this country for decades.
Keep your bet — Natasha stands tall, unbought and unbowed. Let’s see who history remembers: the woman who fought or the puppets who trembled.
Go and download the event in the Senate on that day for better understanding. The Senate President wasn't the person that changed the seat physically, it must have been authorized by the Senate leadership and supervised by the chief whip or deputy chief whip. It is regularly done in the Senate for all senators especially due to decampings from party to party in the Senate, it is not that they targeted her. No one bullied her and no one is asking her to roll over the floor for anyone.
The Senate is hallowed and esteemed chamber. Every Senator is expected to conduct themselves in orderly, respectable, distinguished and diplomatic manner, especially when in the house. She was unruly because her seat was changed. Because she felt her seat was moved to the back. It was not only her seat that was changed. No one is asking her to be submissive but we demand that she respects herself. Whatever issue she has with any house leader or her colleague, she can take it up outside the Senate or their private places but in the Senate, we demand that she respects the leadership of the Senate, especially the presiding officers.
She can conveniently take the accusations to public space on social media but not to charge or sue Apabio to court. Which of these two moves will get her justice? The social media will whip up sentiments in her favor and get her sympathy but the social media will not get her justice, she can only get justice in a competent court. So why didn't she take the matter to court till date? Besides, ask her again: where are her proof of sexual harassment. The onus of proof rests on the person making accusations, even in the court of law.
Her colleagues don't recognize or respect her conduct. She is sinking into oblivion already. Her constituents may recognize her but if she doesn't learn to get things done among her colleagues without creating disruption, confrontations, nuisances and throwing tantrums all over, she will not be relevant in the Nigerian political space. She has to learn diplomacy and effective communication skills.
No one is intimidating her. It is simple: if you make fake and false allegations of sexual harassment against someone and the competent court find you guilty, that is tantamount to criminal assassination and defamation of the other persons characters, it also can be interpreted as an attempt to destroy the marriage of the other person, traumatizing his wife and kids, extended family and loved ones. Where it is proven in court that you went to the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) of the United Nations, without the authorization of the Nation (Federal Government or National Assembly) to lodge false and unsubstantiated accusations of sexual harassment, misrepresent fact about the circumstances(reason) of your suspension from the Senate (alleging the narrative that you were suspended because you accused the Senate President of sexual harassment against you) and embarrass the Nation (Nigeria) in such an esteemed platform. That can be interpreted as treason and criminal felony.
Her likes are disgrace to womanhood. Fathers of the nation don't see her anymore because she has lost relevance. She doesn't deserve any attention of the fathers because that seems to be what drives her fantasy. They have chosen to ignore her but we will see to it that she takes responsibility for her actions, she will pay the price for her offences, where it is determined that she committed those offences.
Conclusion: I can't coach her, I don't even know her in person and I don't want to know or meet her in person. She should be schooled by authorities and facilitators in the disciplines that concerns communications, diplomacy, human relationship management, emotional intelligence, psychology and office etiquette.
This explanation by Gbajabiamila is very annoying and ridiculous.
Since legislatiors (Senators and Lawmakers) are not empowered to create infrastructures, why don't they stick to their responsibilities of making and reviewing laws for the development of Nigeria.
Lanruze: I can assure anyone that cares to listen that after this Tinubu led Administration and Wike's FCT Admin, Lere Olayinka would beg God and people to forgive him for being unwise.
I personally know Lere Olayinka from his roots at Oke-mesi in Ekiti State.
He literally was living in penury and from hand-to-mouth since the exit of Fayose as Governor of Ekiti where he served as Fayose's SSA Media & Publicity.
I am sure majority of Ekiti indigines who are resident there would look at Lere and just marvel.
Wike will use you and dump you, then all the people you hounded will come after you Lere.
Lere the Son of a Cobbler in Oke Mèsí, Ekiti.
When did it become a crime or shame to be son of a cobbler?
Being poor is circumstantial, it is not weakness in itself. It does not mean the situation can't change to better days or riches.
correctyourself: I'm looking at the fact, Senate Over-Short its boundary! as stated by the court, so why not use discretionary measure and recall her, having realized it, after-all, the court didn't restrain senate from reinstating her.
I thing village attitude of those days is been imported to the of senate, because you see issues like this dragging with all manners of excuses, amongst 109 no body is speaking-up. if we must grow fast such attitude is not needed, rather, we should deliberately make use of any opportunity to resolve issues, and not always relying on Nigeria court that can drag simple issues for several months/years, which an uneducated elderly Man in my village can settle in few hours.
The Senate didn't overshoot it's boundaries - the rules and regulations of the Senate is silent on the number of days, weeks, months or period a punishment could last on any senator.
The court recognizes the power of the Senate to punish any senator.
That is the fact that you should be looking at.
She must serve her punishment and comply with the rules. Don't also forget that the Senate requested her to tender apology for her unruly, disruptive and disorderly behavior on that day. She has not does the apology till date.
correctyourself: If human being were God i wonder what would have happened? would it not be reasonable to immediately recall her now that court have even pronounce that the decision of the senate was over-reaching?
This is why, when you see them on screen laughing i don't look at their face but their inner-minds. They're far different from the wau they appear on screen. Some Black Men always making things difficult with zero innovation. Mostly those who claim to be Professor and Phd, they only thing is to read abd translate it, when the vehicle of engineering professor breaks down, move it to road side mechanics for repairs.
There are processes and procedures, even in the legal proceedings and law enforcement.
She can't be immediately recalled. There is no court order that stated categorically that she should be recalled immediately.
JimRohn: Your entire analogy is dead on arrival — just like the moral compass you’re pretending to have. Let’s break your foolish spin apart:
1️⃣ Trump’s scandals prove my point, not yours. In any sane system, when credible allegations arise with supporting evidence — yes, people step aside to allow fair investigation. Trump never cleared his mess; he manipulated the system, just like your saint Akpabio is trying to do. You’re basically admitting Nigeria runs like a gangster’s den. Thanks for confirming the rot.
2️⃣ This is not about random gossip. Natasha didn’t ‘just wake up’ and cook up allegations — she backed her claims with petitions, court filings, and public evidence. Meanwhile, the same Senate cabal is terrified of an independent probe. Why? Because they know the stench will choke their fake ‘decorum’.
3️⃣ Your hypocrisy is laughable. When it’s poor Nigerians accused of petty theft, you people shout “jail him first, investigate later!” But when it’s a billionaire godfather, suddenly you want 100% proof delivered on a gold platter before anyone dares question him? Pathetic double standard.
4️⃣ Keep shouting ‘No be juju be dat?’ Yes — the real juju is that Natasha’s courage has you shaking while your political hero hides behind the same system he’s bleeding dry. She’s fighting for truth in a swamp you’re happy to drown in.
👉🏼 Bottom line: Defend your corrupt hero all you want — the truth is marching forward. And when it blows open, I hope you keep that same energy to apologize for licking boots that trample your future.
She didn't file any petition on her allegations until observers pointed it to her that it was a fundamental error to have not filed her case against Apabio before the Senate. It is on record that Natasha Apoti Uduaghan has not filed any case of sexual harassment against Apabio, before any court in Nigeria or abroad, till date. Check your facts. What evidences are you talking about? What evidences has she provided: can you itemize the evidences and quote your sources of the information?
In everycourt, a person alleged to have committed an offense or crime is perceived innocent and called an accused until a court of competent jurisdiction convicts the accused and sentences him/her, then he/she is declared a convict. You can't sit there and declare Apabio guilty because you are not the court of Law. You can not rely on "her words against his words" to fault someone, she needs to present solid evidences or alibis that corroborates her claims. Please, the concrete and 100% proof is non negotiable in the court of law.
Natasha has courage that you appreciate and extol, that is your opinion. However, what you describe as course is unreasonable, unwise and undiplomatic to us. At that level in politics, you need to be highly diplomatic and strategic. She has shown little of that and she can best be described as a misfit in the Senate.
Conclusion: what is the truth that you understand? The person that seriously need to tender apology now is Natasha Apoti Uduaghan, I hope it isn't too late for her.
JimRohn: Your entire pompous rant drips with envy and the classic stench of armchair punditry masquerading as ‘insight’. Let’s peel back your empty verbosity, shall we?
1️⃣ You claim she’s ‘confused’ between protest and legislation? No — she’s exactly what a true legislator should be: unafraid to confront institutional rot head-on. Unlike your self-important elite who hide behind marble pillars, Natasha stands where the people stand — in the street and in the chamber. That’s leadership rooted in reality, not some dusty rulebook written by the same old political frauds who fear her courage.
2️⃣ ‘This is not Nollywood’? You’re right — Nollywood is fiction. Natasha’s fight is fact. Her projects — from streetlights to smart markets — are tangible results that improve real lives, not empty policy papers gathering dust while political jobbers like you pen sneering diatribes no one asked for.
3️⃣ You compare her to Sanusi as if that’s an insult? Sanusi spoke truth to power, shook the throne, and exposed corruption — so you just proved her point: real change-makers make the complacent uncomfortable. If you think that’s a bad thing, you’re exactly the type she’s fighting to expose.
4️⃣ ‘She’s not Mother Nigeria’? Correct — she’s far more useful than the sycophants who claim to ‘shape national discourse’ yet do nothing but rubber-stamp the decay she’s boldly resisting. Her presence forces your so-called ‘Red Chamber’ to remember who it’s supposed to serve: the people, not bloated egos with padded allowances.
5️⃣ You cry about ‘drama’ — yet your entire rant is drama. If you can’t handle an outspoken, results-driven senator holding a corrupt system accountable, crawl back into your echo chamber and watch your relevance rot in real time. Natasha’s work is visible on the ground — your work is visible nowhere.
👉🏼 Bottom line: When a woman stands her ground in a space dominated by cowardice and compromise, she’ll rattle the parasites feeding on the people’s silence. So keep writing your salty epistles — Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan will keep delivering light, markets, jobs, and hope. May your type choke on that progress you never imagined possible.
Legislators and Senators should be more diplomatic and engage in consulting to solve challenges not confrontational and exhibiting behavior associated with tugs.
Her projects are clearly not in doubt, they are seen and known. That was not the reason for her challenges in the Senate. (1.) She was unruly, disrespectful, disorderly and disruptive in the Senate because her seat was changed. (2.) She made an allegation, on social media but not in court, of sexual harassment against Apabio (Senate President) but she is still to validly substantive her allegations. That is not fact. A fact is proven and validated
She is not speaking the truth especially because Prof Mgbeke (Dr Sandra Duru) punctured all her claims and accusations on social media, especially her allegations of sexual harassment against Apabio. Till date, she has not been able to deny or debunk the counter accusations and claims of Sandra Duru. That was Natasha Apoti being manipulative, deceptive, mischievous and criminally assassinating people's character. That is not Natasha Apoti speaking truth to power.
No body in the red chamber sees or recognizes her, she is sinking into oblivion already. I can bet most of her colleagues will prefer not to be associated with her due to her undiplomatic, confrontational, disruptive, disorderly, disrespectful and unruly conduct. Bad character repels good people. Again, she is a mother but not our mother, not Nigerians mother.
You call it - "an outspoken, results-driven senator holding a corrupt system accountable". We call it dramatic and some episodes best described as Nollywood movie scenes. That is what I see of all her charades.
Conclusion: If you have her ears, do warn her to become reasonable, diplomatic, apologetic and improve her communication and relationship skills especially with her colleagues.
I hope it isn't too late for Natasha Apoti to thread softly otherwise, she may become a convict and even get jail term when the two other litigation cases against her are decided in the courts.
Kobolander: Natasha is way smarter than all of you shouting Tendering Evidence up and down. She understands the intricacies of rushing to present evidences in high profile cases of this type
Dey deceive yourself. You are very gullible and that is why Natasha Apoti Uduaghan has successfully deceived you.
"The IMF recently released an article titled “How Nigeria Can Unleash Its Economic Potential,” where it raised the alarm over Nigeria’s skyrocketing inflation and the perceived sluggish impact of the government’s economic reforms "
The IMF pointed to the reality of our situation in Nigeria.
Olumaeme: Lol, you that dont know anything want to teach someone that is more intelligent, schooled and informed than you.
Its the audacity for me.
Let me take a little time to educate you, Judges don't necessarily need to read out all the judgement, they could give a summary of the judgment and then release the copy of the full judgment later which was what happened in this case. You are not informed and you don't want to admit that you are not.
Yes, the full judgement is not out, and that is why parties are contemplating on the exact thing that the judgment stated, they are not sure yet until they get hold of the judgement which of course includes what the judge considered to give judgment. This is the interview by the Lawyer of Natasha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVSWhUePhLk, this is the interview on channels between Senate lawyer and Natasha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvNrenAJYGE
Both lawyers are not 100% certain of what the judgement is because it was only a recap in court.
I can bet you have never been to court room before and you don't even have a lawyer that advises you on legal matters. That explains your ignorance and ineptitude.
To make your situation even more ridiculous, you are on nairaland trying to prove that you are knowledgeable on legal matters but it is so obvious that you are shallow in the mind and know little or nothing about basic processes in litigation matters.
Okay back to the matter that you are trying to dodge.
What do you understand by the summary or brief of the judgement that you have seen or read.
Please quote the source of your summary version.
Don't dodge this one, if you do then you should shut up on this matter going forward.
Moreover, your madam Natasha Apoti did not show up at the Senate as promised yesterday. Did she start to reason properly owing to some brain reset or.......
Flier: The story doesn't make sense,why did she ask an old man for employment opportunities when her mother is still alive and the man is even more familiar with her mother? (Her mums customer) And how many minutes did she spend in the car before the man ejaculate on her ?was she held down ? Why would an 18 yrs be asking for drugs to take if there was no penetration? I believe the girl isn't telling the truth,she went to fornicate without protection and now getting scared of pregnancy
Flier: The posters isn't telling the truth regarding this story or the girl didn't tell him the truth 1) how was she able to wait enough for the man to ejaculate inside the car(in the afternoon) even if the car is tinted 2) why would an 18 years old girl meet with her old man asking him for employment opportunities, that is the job of her mother
Are you for real or you are joking. These two observations that you raised are very possible.
Casham: My cousin just told me last night that she just got raped on Sunday afternoon/evening (6th July, 2025).
I stay with them for now. She's 18, the first of two daughters and was still virgin (as far as I know). Her only [older] brother is in school.
She's been acting funny since on Sunday evening. She couldn't hold it in anymore and, since there is no one else she could actually confide in, she confided in me. Now she's begging me not to tell anyone and not to cause trouble. She only wants me to help her get a drug (if any) that will prevent pregnancy.
She told me about the man coming to see her in her mother's restaurant and said she was going to talk to the man about getting me a job, but when she went into his car, he forced himself on her.
Honestly I am angry right now! I am angry at three things:
First, I am angry at my family. I have a family where the children are afraid to open up, because if you do, you will be blamed and castigated upon. I understand her fear and apprehension about letting other people know, but I just can't let this go.
Secondly, I am angry at our society. How can a man confidently feels he can force himself on a lady and get away with it? What kind of society do we have?
Thirdly, I am angry at myself. I am angry because I feel helpless. I can't let this thing go. I have to deal with this man, but I don't know how to do it without putting my cousin in a difficult position. I have tried to let her know that it is not her fault and that the man needs to pay for this, but she's been begging me to just let it go. She only confided in me because she's really scared of getting pregnant.
According to her though, there was never any real penetration, but the man (who is a high ranking government official) actually "released" ON her, not IN her. (Does that even make sense?) How can I handle this issue right now? For me, I am planning to go all out and let hell break loose and let the heavens fall if they have to.
Ask about the clothes and pants she was wearing when he released on her. I hope she hasn't washed them yet.
Try to convince her to get the family informed and get her consent to prosecute the case.
Be very careful, your family should be very careful and protective of her since you said the man involved in a highly placed politician.
Get her legal practitioner's services engaged.
Get the clothes to a competent hospital laboratory to test the Sperm deposits on the clothes for confirmation that the sperms were deposits from the man identified as the alleged rapist.
Get you alibis yo confirm the man actually picked her up, in his car.
Get your cousin sister to go to the hospital for pregnancy test and other STD related tests.
This case should be taken up against the alleged rapist to serve as deterrent to others who may try it. The man must also pay compensation to your sister and dearly (jail time or otherwise). This can only be achieved by building her confidence and desire to share her story and lead the push against rape and non consensual sex.
