The footage documents how the 35 governors voted, the counting of votes and the declaration of result by presiding officer, Asishana Okauru, who is also the director general of the forum. At a point during the counting of votes, the arrowhead of the opposition against Mr. Amaechi, Governor Godswill Akpabio, realized the election was being taped and he charged angrily at Mr. Aregbesola. But once Mr. Akpabio turned away, the governor simply resumed his secret recording. With allegation of fraud now up against Mr. Amaechi’s victory from governor’s known to be die-hard associates of the president, the recording is seen as the first documented evidence of a transparent process to crush that concern.

A Grade Two Area Court in Kado, Abuja, on Tuesday sentenced one Sani Abubakar to five weeks in prison after he pleaded guilty to a two-count charge of criminal trespass and theft. The presiding officer, Malam Ahmed Ado, gave the convict an option to pay N2,000 in fine. “I will not do it again.

Simon Ibrahim, had asked that the convict be tried summarily under Section 157 Sub-Section 1 of the Criminal Procedure Code. Section 157 (1) states that an accused person’s admission “shall be recorded as nearly as possible in the words used by him’’ if he admits that he has committed the offence of which he is accused. It states further that “if the accused shows no sufficient cause why he should not be convicted, the court may convict him accordingly and in that case it shall not be necessary to frame a normal charge.’’ Abubakar, a 20-year-old beggar, at Wu

Polygamy represents expanded family structures that are based on marriages involving a husband with 2 or more wives. Interestingly, polygamy is legally and widely practiced in 850 societies across the globe. In the last 2 decades, polygamy has been the focus of a significant growth in public, political, and academic awareness. Indeed, several quantitative and qualitative research articles and theoretical papers have emerged during this period, particularly concerning the effects of this form of marital structure on behavioral, emotional, and academic adjustment of children. However, to date, no researcher has provided a summary of the extant literature. Thus, the purpose of this comprehensive literature review is to summarize findings and to discuss implications of empirical studies that have examined whether polygamous marital structures are beneficial or harmful to children in comparison with children raised in monogamous marital structures. This review includes a summary of th

– A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos on Monday sentenced an alleged member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and his Nigerian accomplice to five years in jail each over an illegal arms shipment. Azim Aghajani and Nigerian Ali Abbas Jega were detained in 2010 when authorities at a Lagos port discovered 13 containers of weapons that had been declared as construction materials. The case attracted wide international attention, in part because it raised questions over whether Iran had violated United Nations sanctions on weapons sales. West African governments also warned that Iran may have been seeking to send weapons to rebel groups in the region. Federal High Court Judge Okechukwu Okeke pronounced the two “guilty as charged” on four of five criminal counts, with the sentences for each count to be served concurrently. While the crimes in question carried a potential life sentence, the judge said he was swayed
