MINING MARSHALS ARREST NOTORIOUS CSP ABDULMAJEED ABISOYE OYEWUMI AND OTHERS FOR FACILITATING THE ESCAPE OF CHINESE DEFENDANTS ON TRIAL THROUGH CAMEROUN BORDER, FILE CHARGES

The Mining Marshals have arrested a Chief Superintendent of Police notorious for obstructing its operations and aiding illegal mining in Rafin Gabas, Nasarawa State, by defendants who are currently standing trial in Charge No. FHC/ABJ/CR/131/2025, pending before Justice M. S. Liman sitting in Federal High Court 12, Abuja Judicial Division.

The arrest followed an application yesterday by the Prosecution Counsel, praying the Court to revoke the bail of the defendants and issue Bench Warrants for the absconding suspects.

A counsel from the law firm of KOLAWOLE OLOWOOKERE SAN pleaded with the Court that his clients were not in court for the fourth time because they had an accident, but he failed to provide any medical or road safety reports justifying the claim, sequel to which the Court revoked the defendants' bail earlier granted to the 1st–3rd Defendants and issued Bench Warrants for their arrest.

Meanwhile, contrary to the submission of counsel to the absconding defendants, the Mining Marshals alleged that they had received intelligence, which was subsequently followed by a petition, that CSP ABDULMAJEED ABISOYE OYEWUMI and some policemen working with him had facilitated the escape of the 2nd and 3rd Defendants from the country through the Cameroon border with Nigeria sometime before the 3rd day of June, 2026, with the alleged assistance of an immigration officer who is currently being trailed.

CSP ABDULMAJEED was reported to also be working to facilitate the escape of the 1st Defendant through the same border route when the Bench Warrant was issued by the Court.

Following the issuance of the said warrant, the Mining Marshals were reported to have immediately tracked the absconding 1st Defendant, one REN QUAN CHEN, to an apartment in APO Legislative Quarters, where they incidentally met CSP ABDULMAJEED ABISOYE OYEWUMI and other accomplices, including his Chinese girlfriend, one SUN HUI, who was said to be bankrolling ABDULMAJEED's illegalities, and another policeman working with them to facilitate the escape, one INSP. KINGSLEY MONKAP with Service No. NPF 337339, who was said to be currently cooperating with investigations.

According to the Commander of Mining Marshals, ATTAH JOHN ONOJA, obstructing the prosecution and helping defendants who are standing trial to escape makes the said police officers and their accomplices accessories after the fact within the meaning of Section 227 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015, and constitutes a very serious criminal offence punishable under Section 127 of the Penal Code Act, for which the aforesaid are liable to several years of imprisonment. He went further to state that it is even worse when the persons facilitating the escape of defendants who are on trial are policemen.

According to the Commander, he said the offence is worse and amounts to discreditable conduct when viewed from the prism of Police Regulations and could lead to dismissal from service.

Also, according to the Commander, the policeman, CSP ABDULMAJEED, was reported to have been living in the same apartment with the absconding defendants for more than one year, and wondered what may have motivated such conduct by a senior police officer.

ONOJA stated that the suspects have been charged to court in line with the standard operating procedures of the Mining Marshals, and that the suspects (including the absconding 1st Defendant) will be properly re-arraigned before the Court and will have the opportunity of explaining the whereabouts of the other defendants who jumped bail.

Also, in the interim, pending the outcome of further actions, the Mining Marshals are said to have taken over the property where the suspects were arrested to ensure that evidence is preserved.

During the arrest and execution of the Bench Warrants, several rounds of live ammunition cartridges for double-barrel and pump-action firearms were said to have been found in the possession of the suspects, along with some rare minerals, for which they were unable to give any lawful account of their possession. Other exhibits found in their possession include several statements of different bank accounts and electronic gadgets, which are now being subjected to forensic analysis by investigators.

Supreme Court Showdown: 'The Wailers(Pro Max)' Return Amid Tinubu's Victory

By Osigwe Omo-Ikirodah 

The reappearance of 'The Wailers(Pro Max)' in the midst of Tinubu's presidential victory signifies a renewed wave of opposition following the outcome of the last presidential election. This group, known for their vocal criticism of government policies, initially emerged during President Buhari's administration, and it seems they have regrouped, even more fervently, after a period of relative silence.

In the wake of the election that saw Bola Ahmed Tinubu emerge victorious as the President of Nigeria, 'The Wailers(Pro Max)' have found fresh motivation. Their name derives from their penchant for passionately voicing their displeasure with government decisions and actions. However, their critiques often lean toward the emotional rather than the analytical, as their primary intent seems to be to sway public opinion with their sympathetically biased narratives.

A significant number of 'The Wailers(Pro Max)' can be traced back to the camp of candidates who found themselves defeated in the last presidential election. They have united under this common cause and are making their collective presence felt once again.They belong to the same "WhatsApp group" 

They often present a rosy picture, as if achieving greatness in Nigeria requires no effort, simply because the country is naturally endowed with abundant resources. Ironically, this newly resurfaced group of 'The Wailers' seems even more unwavering in their negative stance than their predecessors, ushering in a phase we might dub 'The Wailers Pro Max.'

These individuals and groups exhibit a level of devotion that often transcends logic, characterizing those who support the government as irrational or self-serving. They continue to drive a narrative that paints Nigeria as a sinking ship, seemingly unaware that, at 63 years old, the nation has made considerable progress.

They create an impression that our country is in a dire state because we have not ousted corrupt leaders. Yet, it's puzzling that many of them have never actively engaged in the electoral process. When we draw a comparison between our nation at 63 years and countries like the United Kingdom, which boasts a history spanning over 300 years, or the United States, with over 240 years of existence, they dismiss such analogies. 

Nonetheless, it's pertinent to prompt them to contemplate the challenges these countries confronted during comparable phases in their histories, even when they had considerably more years under their belts. Issues such as racism and the slave trade were significant facets of their histories.

Even more puzzling is their reluctance to scrutinize the role played by their local leaders, including governors, legislators, and local government council chairmen, in the country's development. These individuals wield significant influence but somehow manage to evade the close scrutiny that 'The Wailers' reserve for the federal government.

Equally concerning is their oversight when it comes to inquiring how traditional leaders, who receive government allocations for community improvement, utilize these funds. Instead, they express admiration for these traditional rulers while directing their frustrations toward the president, whom they perceive as the harbinger of national failure.

Additionally, they proudly consider their local lawmakers as friends, but in the same breath, they lay blame at the doorstep of the federal government. Paradoxically, these local representatives often fall short in truly representing the interests of their constituents.

This faction's reluctance to invest in the nation and their preference for imported goods over 'Made in Nigeria' products is baffling. They lament the challenges posed by fluctuating exchange rates and the general cost of living while perpetually forecasting doom for the country.

As today's judgment is mere hours away at the Supreme Court, 'The Wailers' have already detected a looming sense of defeat, raising questions about the haste of the judgment, in their own words.

This impending verdict marks the inception of another four years of melancholic lamentation. The worrisome aspect lies in their capacity to sway others with their emotional narratives.

In the face of 'The Wailers(Pro Max)' comeback and fervent protest, the nation finds itself at a crossroads, with the Supreme Court's decision poised to usher in a new chapter in Nigeria's political landscape.

Some people will still call this election shambolic and the worst. What a shame!. This is the best election we have had in recent times

This goes to show that the election in South East is grossly rigged.

A good decision

Hmmm. It is well

We are good to go

You have done remarkably well with your choice. You won't regret it.

Tinubu will win. He's the best from the lots

Incoming President.

Malory:
Peter Obi beats other candidates in all indices. None comes close. Nigerians will regret it if they miss this golden opportunity to elect a credible leader in the person of Obi.

Allow Nigerians to decide. Democracy is a game of numbers. The majority will surely carry the day.

Please come to the north and bag yours.
