Appeal court vacates order freezing 124 bank accounts 'linked to' Aisha Achimugu
The court of appeal in Port Harcourt, Rivers state, has vacated the order freezing the bank accounts of Aisha Achimugu, a businesswoman and founder of Oceangate Engineering Oil & Gas Ltd, as well as those of corporate entities linked to her.
In a unanimous decision delivered on Wednesday, a three-member panel of the appellate court dismissed the ex parte interim freezing order granted by the federal high court in Port Harcourt on April 10, 2025.

“Adeniyi accused Femi Gajabiamila & said he paid Femi N400M through a proxy & it has been reported that the proxy d!ed through a fire incident a day the lid was blown open.
There is another allegation that Femi unlawfully diverted 55 Billion in oil & Gas. His name which keeps coming up in every allegation shows that something is fishy about his personality.
It is time to suspend him from Office & conduct a detailed investigation.”

It is very heartbreaking, shameful, and devastating to see a Nigerian police officer @PoliceNG extorting Nigerians and even going as far as profiling people based on their ethnicity.
Imagine a police officer saying, “If you were Igbo, I would have arrested you.” What does that even mean? Why should a federal police officer be engaging in tribalism?
We must have a police force that protects every Nigerian, irrespective of tribe, ethnicity, or region.
I expect the Inspector-General of Police, or the Commissioner of Police under whose jurisdiction these officers serve, to immediately address this issue, bring the officers involved to book, and discipline them accordingly.
Otherwise, this matter will not be put to rest.
Justice can never be cracked.
The man is confirming that Nigerian Government & Boko Haram agreed to have a 40- days cease fire program, therefore Boko Haram is on break.
Men! This country is gone 😭😭
Nigerian Government is constantly negotiating with terr0rists.
Our country has failed us😭😭
The lawless DSS arrested BOSYA President, Samaila Ibrahim Kaigama, yesterday in Abuja. We immediately sent a lawyer from Deji Adeyanju's law firm to see him in detention today.
After waiting over an hour, the lawyer was denied access to both the detainee and the DSS premises, forcing him to leave without seeing his client.
Kaigama recently made serious allegations on Channels Television regarding alleged ransom payments to Boko Haram terrorists. His arrest appears intended to silence him. It will not happen.
Nigeria is fast becoming a complete banana republic, where security agencies operate with utter disregard for the rule of law and the rights of citizens.
#FreeKaigamaNOW.
MY REMARKS ON THE ENUGU AIR RUNWAY EXCURSION AT BENIN AIRPORT
I received, with profound relief, the news of the runway excursion involving an Enugu Air aircraft during its landing at Benin Airport today.
First, I join all Nigerians in expressing heartfelt gratitude to God Almighty that all 68 passengers and crew members on board disembarked safely, with no injuries or casualties recorded. The safety of human lives must always remain our highest priority.
I commend the pilot, the flight crew, and the airport emergency response teams at Benin Airport for their swift and professional handling of the situation, which averted what could have been a major tragedy. Their calmness and decisiveness under pressure are deeply commendable.
While we celebrate this safe outcome, the incident serves as a sober reminder of the critical need for strict adherence to aviation safety protocols, rigorous routine maintenance, and continuous infrastructure upgrades across our airports nationwide.
I urge the relevant regulatory and investigative bodies—particularly the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB)—to conduct a thorough, transparent, and timely investigation into the root cause of this incident.
Learning from occurrences such as this is essential to strengthening public confidence in our aviation sector and ensuring that our skies remain consistently safe.
May God continue to guide and protect all travellers across our nation. – PO
Why the voter registration exercise should be extended.
As we continue to encourage Nigerians to participate actively in our democracy, I respectfully appeal to INEC to consider extending the voter registration window to the latest practical date that still allows adequate time for the preparation of a credible voters’ register before the 2027 general elections.
Every day, more young Nigerians attain the age of 18 and become constitutionally eligible to vote. They are not just our future; they are stakeholders in our present. It would be unfortunate if many of them were denied the opportunity to exercise their civic responsibility simply because the registration process closed long before the elections.
Moreover, this position is legally supported by the High Court judgment delivered on 22 November 2022 in Anaja Salmat & 3 Others v. INEC (Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1342/2022). In that decision, the Federal High Court held that voter registration should continue until 90 days before a general election to protect the constitutional voting rights of eligible Nigerians.
I appreciate the enormous responsibility placed on INEC to deliver free, fair, and credible elections. I also recognise the need for sufficient time to clean the register and make the necessary logistical preparations. However, our electoral process should, as much as possible, maximise participation rather than limit it.
A democracy is strengthened when every eligible citizen has the opportunity to be heard. I therefore urge INEC to adopt a registration timeline that protects the integrity of the process while ensuring that no eligible Nigerian, especially our young people, is unnecessarily disenfranchised. -PO
