The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has filed a petition against Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja, before the National Judicial Council, accusing her of judicial misconduct in handling his trial.

The petition, dated 13 January 2024, was addressed to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, who also serves as the Chairman of the NJC.

Kanu alleged that Justice Nyako’s actions during his trial had caused him “incalculable and continuing damage,” including the deprivation of his liberty.

Justice Nyako is presiding over the seven-count terrorism charges brought against Kanu by the Federal Government.

The petition, supported by an affidavit sworn to by Kanu’s brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, detailed allegations of misconduct, including the judge’s refusal to reinstate Kanu’s bail, which he argued was a violation of the Constitution.

In the petition, Kanu stated, “Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako currently presides over Court 2 of the Federal High Court, Abuja Division.
Her conduct amounts to judicial fraud and non-adherence to the Constitution and established rules of law.

“Her refusal to reinstate my bail despite the Supreme Court’s determination constitutes disobedience to Section 287(1) of the Constitution, which mandates all authorities and courts to enforce decisions of the Supreme Court.”

Kanu further accused the judge of disregarding constitutional provisions and the rule of law, describing her conduct as a violation of his fundamental rights.

The petition read in part, “Wherefore, the complainant prays the Council to discipline Her Lordship, Honourable Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako in accordance with the pertinent rules for disciplining erring judicial officers.”

The Nigerian Citizens Association in South Africa (NICASA), has condemned the alleged brutal killing of a 50-year-old Nigerian citizen, Jeremiah Okoye, by the country’s police, while in their custody.

Okoye, a native of Eziniffite Nnewi, in Anambra was said to have died while being detained in Limpopo Province, on Jan. 13.

NICASA President-General, Dr Frank Onyekwelu, in a telephone interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday, said investigations were ongoing to unravel the circumstances surrounding the deceased’s death.

“We implore the police authorities to follow the rule of law in discharging their constitutional duties,” he said.

Onyekwelu said that Okoye, who resided at No. 71, Magazyn Street, Polokwane, Limpopo Province, had lived in the country for 22 years.

He said NICASA had officially informed the Nigerian High Commission and Consulate in South Africa, as well as contacted the Okoye family and friends in Limpopo, following the sad incident.

“Nigerian citizens in South Africa say no to police brutality and killings and demand justice for the late Okoye.

“Our lives matter, nationality is not criminality.

“We implore all our citizens to be law-abiding and allow the authorities to utilise all their resources, to unravel the circumstances surrounding the death of Okoye,” he said.

Onyekwelu expressed hope that Okoye’s death would not become another statistic like others before him.

“The death of Nigerians in South Africa, particularly under police custody has become a recurring issue that needs to be stopped.

“We fear that these recurring deaths of Nigerians in police custody, if unchecked, will become a dangerous pattern. May his soul rest in perfect peace,” he added.

Nigerian business mogul and philanthropist, Prince Arthur Eze, has assured that Igbo leaders will beg President Bola Tinubu to forgive, and release the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Eze, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Atlas Oranto Petroleum, spoke to journalists in Enugu, and absolved Tinubu from Kanu’s ordeal.

He said: “Nnamdi Kanu was detained by Buhari, not Tinubu. Buhari is a hardliner. But we shall beg Tinubu to forgive him. He has the spirit of forgiveness. He has no enemy.”

Turning to youths spoiling for war over developments in the country, Prince Eze stated, “They don’t know anything about the war. I was a refugee for three years with my father. I lost seven of my brothers on the battlefield. Those talking about war don’t know anything. My brother, who is the Igwe now, had a bullet in his heart. He was the brigade commander in Arochukwu.

“All these people running about don’t know what it means to fight a war. I was here when Ojukwu declared the Republic of Biafra. They don’t know what war is. It (Kanu’s detention) is not Tinubu’s fault, but Buhari’s fault. But we shall beg Tinubu to forgive. So I appeal to them to exercise patience and continue to cooperate with the government.”

Troops of Sector 5 of the Joint Task Force South East Operation UDO KA on Wednesday allegedly killed eight members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed affiliate, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), during a crossfire in Anambra State.

It also arrested five suspected group members at Aguluzenechikwu Road, Aguata Local Government Area while driving a black Ford Edge with registration number Abuja ABC 535 AB.


The gallant troops who were on clearance operation to identify IPOB/ESN Ogunka Camp in Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra State said they came in contact with the irredentists on arrival at the camp.

“During the firefight, the irredentists attempted to flee through their escape route but were engaged by the blocking force neutralising five of the irredentists. Items recovered included Two AK 47 Rifle, One Pump action gun, Four Improvised Explosive Devices(IEDs), and 12V/75 Amp Battery used for detonating the IEDs,” a spokesperson for the Joint Task Force, Lieutenant Jonah Unuakhalu, stated.

Unuakhalu disclosed that the five arrested suspects, on reaching the Forward Operating Base (FOB) checkpoint decided to open the barricades to gain access to the base.

He added that the vigilant troops were able to stop them and on further search of the vehicle, one locally made pistol, three live cartridges, and nine mobile phones were recovered.

He stated that earlier on 8 January 2025, while troops were on routine patrol along Orsumoghu – Burrow Pit road in Anambra State, they came in contact with the irredentists, neutralising three.

“On further scan of the area, two IED cylinders about to be buried by the roadside by the irredentists were discovered. In the process of detonating the IED it exploded and one soldier paid the supreme price,” he said.

Unuakhalu said troops of Sector 1 responded to a distress call of kidnapping activities of passengers travelling along the Igbo Eze Local Government Area of Enugu State and the boundary between Enugu and Kogi States.

“The combined troops comprising the Nigerian Army, Navy, Air Force and other security agencies moved swiftly into action and went in pursuit of the kidnappers through their escaping route forcing them to release all the kidnapped passengers in batches with the last two of their victims released yesterday,” he said.

“Efforts are still ongoing to discover the kidnapper’s den.”

He said that Operation UDO KA has intensified the fight against illegal oil bunkering, with troops of Sector 4 deployed at Egbema West in Imo State conducting an anti-illegal bunkering operation.

“During the operation, troops discovered an illegal oil bunkering site with Fifteen cooking drums, Five reservoirs containing approximately 5,000 litres of illegal refined Dual Purpose Kerosene (DPK), 1,500 liters of Automotive Gas Oil (AGO), and a hose of approximately 2km long which were destroyed immediately,” he said.

Unuakhalu said that the Force Commander Joint Task Force South East Operation UDO KA Major General Hassan Dada has called on all well-meaning citizens to continue supporting the Joint Task Force by providing timely, reliable, and credible information to make the South East region peaceful.

I really thought by now you guys would all know by now that all these are lies the security forces are telling you people to make it look like they are working?

Nigeria is getting worse every day, the security forces are busy telling you people lies and propaganda, and you people cannot put two and two together as to why Nigeria is amongst the top 10 most insecure countries on earth?

They tell you that the have destroyed hundreds of camps, but cannot show you a single picture of a camp

They tell you they have killed criminals but cannot show you any dead bodies

They only thing they can show you is neatly arranged guns, along with what they want you to believe are bombs, plus statement

Anyone can arrange anything they like, take pictures and release statement. If these things had been bombs, do you think the Nigerian security forces would have ever risked their lives to pick them up and arrange them for photo shoot?

It's so easy for the Nigerian security forces to fool Nigerians as insecurity gets worse every day

A Joint Security Team comprising the Police, Military, and other Security Agencies has killed five suspected criminals in Anambra State.
Operatives of the joint force also invaded and razed a camp operated by the criminal gang, from where they carried out their operations.

The Spokesperson for the Anambra State Police Command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, revealed this in a press release he made available to DAILY POST in Awka, the Anambra State capital.
He said the incident occurred on 14th January 2025 at 12:30 pm in Umuogem, Ufuma, Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State.

He said: “The team successfully carried out an offensive operation against a suspected armed secessionist gang on Umugem road, Ufuma, Orumba North Local Government Area.

“The team neutralized five members of the armed group, while some others escaped with various degrees of bullet wounds.

“During the operation, the security team razed the criminal camp and recovered four undetonated improvised explosive devices (IEDs), two AK47 assault rifles, one pump-action gun, one 75-volt battery, and other incriminating items.”

Ikenga attributed the success of the operation to the collaboration and coordination among the various security agencies, adding that operations were still ongoing in the area to arrest fleeing gang members.

He quoted the Commissioner of Police in the state, CP Nnaghe Obono Itam, as calling for greater cooperation from the people in the area to ensure that criminal gangs are wiped out.

A female banker, identified simply as Ifeoma, has been murdered by suspected kidnappers in Anambra State after her family paid a ransom for her release.

The victim was reportedly abducted in Onitsha and stayed several days in captivity before her captors reached out to the family members for ransom.

A family source who craved anonymity disclosed the development to our correspondent on Tuesday, adding that an undisclosed amount of money was received by the kidnappers. Sadly, in the end, she was not released, until her corpse was found along the road.

The source said, “Her corpse was found near Ideani Junction, along the Nnobi-Alor Road in Idemili South Local Government Area. This is even though the abductors collected ransom from the family members.

“She was abducted at a location in Onitsha, but after some days, the kidnappers reached out to the family members and demanded the ransom before the unfortunate news of her death.

“They suspect that she might have recognised the kidnappers and hence they had to eliminate her to avoid being exposed. It’s so unfortunate, the family members are devastated by the news of her death.”

When contacted, the spokesman for the Anambra State Police Command, Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the development, adding that the corpse had been evacuated from the road.

Ikenga said, “The command received the information about an abandoned female corpse found along the Nnobi-Alor Road allegedly dumped by suspected kidnappers.

“The corpse has been evacuated, the pictures have been escalated and investigations have begun to unravel the circumstances behind the death of the victim.”

Meanwhile, the state police command, while reacting to the news of the release of the two Catholic nuns and one other victim kidnapped by some assailants, called on the released victims to come forward for possible debriefing to enable the police to begin proper investigation.

Ikenga, who disclosed this in a press statement on Tuesday, said the command had expressed willingness to work with the victims for necessary action.

He said, “The Anambra State Police Command has expressed willingness to work with the victims of abduction for necessary action, especially in the efforts of the command to continue to deny these criminals the space to wreak havoc and to create a safer environment for citizens in the state.

“The command demonstrates this commitment in response to the news of the release of the two Reverend Sisters recently abducted along the Ufuma Road, Orumba North Local Government and a video of an alleged escape of Mr Onyebuchi Okocha (popularly known as Onyeze Jesus) from a criminal hideout.

“To this end, the command while waiting for the victims to recuperate for possible debriefing by the investigating officers, assures improved security dominance and surveillance operations targeted to enhance safety across the state to deter criminal activities and ensure public safety.”
