In a pioneering ruling, Nigeria's Chief Justice, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, ordered Nnamdi Kanu's immediate repatriation to Kenya, denouncing how he was returned to Nigeria. In an official letter to the Kenyan government, she also apologized for Nigeria's "unruly behaviour" in Kanu's extradition case. Justice Kekere-Ekun, who recently took office as Nigeria's Chief Justice, stated unequivocally that she lacked jurisdiction to rule over Kanu's case due to the illegality of his extradition. "Nnamdi Kanu was forced to return to Nigeria in contravention of both international and Kenyan law. On what legal basis can I pursue this case? It is a farce of justice, an insult to my profession, and a betrayal of the years of academic and legal experience I have gained," she said. She went on to explain that Justice Binta Nyako, who had previously handled the matter, had withdrawn due to its explosive character. "This case is a suicide mission—a ti...

Northerners are no fools.  Yakassai to Governor Wike of Rivers State.  A betrayal of his people cannot be trusted, Northern Elders to Wike..  Nyesom Wike threatened the North and Southwest when Goodluck Jonathan lost election in 2015. Nyesom Wike said he would lead a war against Nigeria like Ojukwu if any attempt to rob Rivers State the way we robbed Goodluck Jonathan. Nyesom Wike said we had tactically shared the country, and they would not allow us use their resources to develop our states. I was surprised when he killed IPOB members, denied his Igbo origin and donated N500 million to Sokoto. I know he wants to satisfy the North because of his Vice Presidential ambition with Aminu Tambuwal under PDP. Unfortunately for him, Northerners are no fools. - Tanko Yankassai

Speaking on Saturday, President Trump ordered a series of airstrikes within Yemen, targeting Houthi-controlled areas in response to the terror groups attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea. “Today, I have ordered the United States Military to launch decisive and powerful Military action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen. They have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American, and other, ships, aircraft, and drones,” President Trump wrote on Saturday. “It has been over a year since a U.S. flagged commercial ship safely sailed through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, or the Gulf of Aden. The last American Warship to go through the Red Sea, four months ago, was attacked by the Houthis over a dozen times. Funded by Iran, the Houthi thugs have fired missiles at U.S. aircraft, and target our Troops and Allies. These relentless assaults have cost the U.S. and World Economy many BILLIONS of Dollars while, at the same time, putting innocent lives at ris...
