The Henry Nowak case raises urgent questions about policing, accountability and human rights in the UK. A student lost his life after being stabbed and restrained. The case underscores the need for better training, timely oversight, and a justice system that puts life first.

The circulation of the torture and murder video of Cameroonian journalist Martinez Zogo has deepened national trauma. Delays in justice, while his remains remain in state custody, fuel public distrust. Justice must not only be done, but be seen to be done.#JusticeForMartinezZogo

A 2-year-old girl was allegedly abused at her school. Another child harmed, another nation outraged until the next headline. 🇨🇲 must stop moving on. We must become a people, not just a population, and demand accountability, protection, justice, & real change. #ProtectOurChildren

🇸🇳 recent political transition demonstrates democratic constitutionalism in action: the dismissal of the PM, the dissolution of the gov’t, & lawful institutional reorganisation. Cameroon, by contrast, remains trapped in authoritarianism, neopatrimonialism, and democracy on paper.

As I conclude my maiden full academic year of teaching and marking, I’m deeply grateful to the leadership team, colleagues, and our incredible Level 4 & 5 Law students. Teaching Equity & Trust, Land Law, Contract Law, Criminal Justice & Business Law has been truly rewarding.

Can AI bear legal responsibility? My latest academic paper explores whether AI systems should gain legal personality, how liability applies when autonomous systems cause harm, and the implications for ethics, accountability, human rights, and global governance.

Yves Sakila, a Congolese man living in Dublin since 2004, died after being restrained by private security guards in Dublin City Centre. His death exposes racial bias, excessive force, and systemic injustice. Justice for Yves means justice for human dignity and equality. End now!

Andy Burnham distances himself from calls to rejoin the EU, telling an audience in Leeds: "Brexit has been damaging, but the last thing we need right now is to re-run those arguments”

Another death in 🇨🇲 state apparatus exposes dangerous institutional decay. Vacant offices remain unreplaced despite constitutional obligations. Ageing leadership, weak succession planning, and policy paralysis now threaten governance, accountability, and national stability.

[Dr Nelson A. Agbor @NelsonAgbor]

As the world marks Press Freedom Day, Cameroon shows a troubling reality. Despite legal guarantees, journalists face harassment, detention and worse. Cases like Wazizi and Zogo expose impunity. A free press is essential to accountability, human rights and the rule of law.

Hate crimes in the UK are surging from arson on Jewish ambulances to attacks on Iranian memorials and the stabbing of two Jewish men in London. Too often, offenders cite “mental health.” Justice must ensure accountability. Government action is overdue to protect communities now.

The reported killings in Bui, Bamenda, on 26 April 2026, expose the failure of militarised responses in 🇨🇲 Anglophone crisis. Despite papal calls for dialogue, summary executions persist, while constitutional changes suggest power consolidation over genuine, rights-based peace.

Xenophobia has no place in South Africa. African nationals and their children are chased from hospitals, schools and businesses, while Nigeria and Ghana suffer most. This betrays past solidarity. Silence worsens it. Uphold dignity, justice and Ubuntu. South Africa must do better

[Dr Nelson A. Agbor @NelsonAgbor]

The complaint to the African Union over an “unconstitutional change of government” in Cameroon highlights risks to democratic norms under domestic law and ACDEG. Yet, weak AU enforcement casts doubt on sanctions, with implications for legitimacy, stability, and external relations

The Renters’ Rights Act (Oct 2025; effective 1 May 2026) reshapes private renting in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. It ends S. 21 evictions, mandates periodic tenancies, and caps rent increases. Gains in tenant security are clear, but risks to supply, costs, and enforcement highlight land law’s evolution

[Dr Nelson A. Agbor @NelsonAgbor]

Peace in 🇨🇲 cannot remain rhetoric; it requires real institutional change. As Pope Leo XIV noted, peace must reject all forms of violence. Yet thousands remain detained without charge since 2018, including minors. With 80,000 refugees in Nigeria and over 1M internally displaced.

[Dr Nelson A. Agbor @NelsonAgbor]

Why does the CPDM panic when Maurice Kamto acts politically? From denouncing a “constitutional coup” to mobilising citizens through a petition, he drives civic awareness.Despite his exclusion from the election, his legal expertise &influence keep him a constant political threat.

[Dr Nelson A. Agbor @NelsonAgbor]

Pope Leo XIV’s visit to 🇨🇲 raises questions on religion and state power. Amid human rights abuses, constitutional manipulation, and the Anglophone crisis, the visit risks legitimising executive overreach. Can papal authority press for accountability and release of prisoners?

[Dr Nelson A. Agbor @NelsonAgbor]

Lasting peace in Cameroon’s Anglophone regions requires more than military force. It demands credible negotiations, protection of civilians, constitutional reform, and inclusive governance. A comprehensive, justice-based approach is essential for sustainable peace.

Ceasefire between Iran and the US signals a long-overdue return to diplomacy. Delay costs innocent lives suffering that should never be ignored. Trump’s volatility highlights global risks, while Starmer showed restraint. As victory is claimed, Iran’s resilience stands out.
