Nothing shows our backwardness as a country than the ridiculous fact that some people want us to celebrate recent photos of Buhari and accept them as proof of his leadership capacity. It shows how primitive we are as a people. It portrays us as a very sick country. #BuhariResign
A President who has been in hiding is forced to make a momentary appearance with select officials, and some people are salivating about it as if Nigeria has just found the cure for COVID-19.

Is this what we have reduced leadership and governance to in Nigeria? #BuhariResign.
The same Buhari that begged and cried to be president on four occasions now sees his continued stay in office as a favour to Nigerians. Is Buhari doing us a favour by remaining in office despite his universally recognised incompetence?

#BuhariResign #StayAtHomeAndStaySafe
If you are not disgusted, ashamed and irritated as a Nigerian citizen, something is terribly wrong with your citizenship.

PRESS STATEMENT

A YEAR AFTER MY ONE MONTH INCARCERATION FOR “CONTEMPT OF COURT”: JUSTICE YET TO BE SERVED.

Exactly one year ago, precisely on July 27, 2022, I was remanded in the Correctional Centre (prison) for one month by the Chief Judge of Akwa Ibom State, His Lordship,… https://t.co/FVhQotu1cdtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Before I filed the motions, I wrote to the Hon. CJ and pleaded with My Lord to reassign the two cases which had the same facts. My Lord in her wisdom refused to accede to my request.

Part of the grounds of the two recusal applications was that my Lord had previously entered… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Soon afterwards, two mobile policemen with AK47 rifles entered inside the courtroom and sat directly behind me.

Throughout my 5 years in the Faculty of Law, University of Uyo, and 1 year in the Nigerian Law School, Lagos Campus, my lecturers never taught me that armed men with… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Dr. Olufunmilayo who had taken a temporary break from Twitter for personal reasons, had been dragged before the UK’s Metropolitan Police on false allegation of rape. He was cleared by the UK Police after investigation. The police found that the allegation were unsubstantiated.
Not done with her vindictive quest to bring down Dr. Funmi for rightly ending their relationship, his embittered ex girlfriend, Dr. Bolanle, filed a frivolous complaint with the General Medical Council (GMC) in 2020 against him in the hope that he will lose his practice license.

NIGERIAN NAVY SHOULD RESPECT THE RULE OF LAW

On December 3, 2022, a policeman, ASP Abiona Hezekiah, was reportedly stabbed to death in the Satellite part of Lagos State by two Naval ratings, namely: Seaman Nnamani Anointing, and OSMTD Onyekachi Egwin, during an argument.
The victim is said to have stopped the Naval ratings who were on a motorcycle when argument ensued.

The Lagos State Police Command arrested the two Naval ratings and suspects for investigation and prosecution for the murder of ASP Abiona Hezekiah.
However, the Nigerian Navy demanded that the officers should be released to them for internal investigation and dismissal from service before they can be prosecuted in the civil court.

The police released the two suspects as demanded by the Naval authorities.

Today is one of those days as a lawyer, that I’m proud of myself for taking the bold decision many years ago to abandon my studies at Science School, Ididep, in my SS2 Third Term to pursue my childhood dream and passion. ImageImage
The heinous efforts by a man who thought he could use his influence to make the police and the court to oppress a lady and make her spend days in Kirikiri was truncated today.
It was not an easy battle at the Federal High Court but the law and the conscience of the Court came to the rescue.

Seeing this lady, who had to spend the night on Thursday at the Lagos Police Comannd, walk out freely from the courtroom to her home is enough job satisfaction.

Godwin Emefiele corrupted the CBN and made nonsense of our exchange rates and forex market. The fiscal and monetary policies of the CBN under him did not help the country.

However, Mr Tinubu cannot remove him by virtue of Section 11 of the CBN Act without recourse to the Senate.
I’m aware of a subsisting judgment of the Federal High Court in Sanusi’s case, where it was held that while the President cannot remove the CBN Governor unilaterally, he can exercise disciplinary control over him, which includes suspension. That judgment is the law on the issue.
My view is that since the CBN Act does not envisage the suspension of the Governor by the President, and given the need for institutional independence of the CBN which cannot be guaranteed without security of tenure of the governor, the President shouldn’t be able to suspend.

PRESS RELEASE

Our law firm has taken up the case Ms. Olufunmilayo Brioluwa, pro bono. She was arrested on 14th May, 2023 and arraigned before the Magistrate Court, Eti-Osa the following day on a two count charge for allegedly assaulting a police officer at Ogombo in Ajah, Lagos. ImageImage
The public statement made by the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Ben Hundeyin, does not reflect the true account of events in this case. We will speak to the true facts of the case in court. We urge the police to exercise restraint in the matter.
We visited Brioluwa in Kirikiri custodial centre on 25th May, 2023. She briefed us extensively on what transpired. We equally appeared for her in court on Tuesday, June 6 when the case came up a second time. Sadly, the Nigerian Correctional Service failed to produce her in court.
