  UPDATE ON EKWEREMADU CASE: WHY THE SENATOR'S DEFENSE STRATEGY IS VERY WEAK (By Emeka Ugwuonye ,Esquire) From a preliminary assessment of Ekweremadu's case, it is easy to conclude that his defenses, so far, are feeble. He is focused on showing that the victim is not a minor. If that's all he has, I am afraid he will be found guilty of a very serious crime and will have to face years in British prison. Let's look at it closely. First, Ekweremadu is basing his defense on the age of the victim. His efforts has centered on showing that David Ukpo is 21-years old, instead of 15-years old. But if you look at the law under which he was charged and the charge itself, the age of the victim is immaterial. The charge reads "conspiracy to arrange/facilitate travel of "another person" with a view to exploitation, namely organ harvesting". So, it doesn't really matter whether the victim is 15 or 21 or even 55, as long as you arranged or helped in arranging hi...

T he trial of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu on terrorism charges has been shifted till November 14 by a Federal High Court in Abuja. Kanu is however to remain in the custody of the Department of State Service, DSS, till the date since the shift in trial was at his instance.

However at Tuesday’s proceedings, Kanu’s lawyer, Mike Ozekhome SAN, informed the court that his client has filed an appeal at the Court of Appeal in Abuja challenging the competence of the seven counts. In the appeal marked CA/ABJ/CR/625/2022, Kanu, through Ozekhome SAN, prayed the appellate court to nullify the seven counts still standing against him. He predicated his appeal on the...

Magistrate Court in Port Harcourt has granted bail to Pastor Felix Duruebube of the Mercy House Church International, who was accused of defiling a sixteen-year-old girl. Duruebube who is facing two charges of defilement and forcing the girl to take an oath with him was arraigned before Chief Magistrate Obiareri Anugbum. He pleaded not guilty to the charges. Our correspondent reports that though Mr. Duruebube was granted bail, he was remanded in the Port Harcourt Correctional Centre because he was not able to fulfill the bail conditions on Monday.

She urged them to desist from settling criminal matters involving pastors. The FIDA chairperson seeing the number of church members that attended the court proceedings called on Christians to test the spirit behind their pastors.

         Ma ny relationships would still be standing right now if not for ego and false pride. Because most times the solution to our biggest problem is a simple apology from the heart. - I’m so sorry I messed up. Can we fix things? Please give us another chance. - But.. We’d rather, carry on grudges in our hearts for ages than apologize and admit that we were actually wrong and our actions hurt someone. We’d rather, drag on issues that see it end because manipulation makes us powerful and gives us the illusion of dominance over someone. We’d rather, not hear them out, take their calls, return their messages or even grant them an audience because of that false sense of superiority. We’d rather, fill our soul with grief and self pity, replaying the situation over again instead of actually letting it go because we feel cheated, searching for an ungodly sense of justice. We’d rather, cheat on our spouses, on our partners, we’d rather cut off ties with our friend...
