Indeed, Allah orders justice and good conduct and giving to relatives and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression. He admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded. Q16:90

@SirJarus Happy birthday. Many happy returns

Alhamdulillah!!!

Finally, all the kidnapped pupils and teachers in Orire, Oyo have been rescued by our security agencies.

[Ogbeni Akeem Badru @akeembadru]

@NLCHeadquarters @OfficialTUCN these pupils could have been yours. The teachers could have been you. Don't look away at this time

@SirJarus Walahi these situations are real. They are even psychological at times. In 2008, after sorting my siblings I was left with N5 and seriously hungry. A friend came with N10 before we could take garri. After that meal, I remembered a person who could have actually supported earlier

@SirJarus Bukola never hijacked the political structure of his father. Baba Oloye surrendered the structure to Bukky. What played out in 2011 was purely a game.

In the wake of the ongoing Islamophobia, I decided to launch a challenge I dubbed #AllahuAkbar revolution on TikTok, so they can hear more of it.

To my surprise, it became a larger trend than I anticipated.

It’s been two days, and there’s been over 5000 entries, that’s as far as I can count.

Almost a million views, 200,000+ direct engagements, and much more.

If anything, I’ve learned that you can’t stop Muslims.

So, here it is on X where Islamophobes thought they rule:

[Foundational Nupe Lawyer @egi_nupe]

Lawyers do not represent criminals! I need you people here to understand some basic rules of criminal cases:

1. The fact that someone is arrested for an offence does not mean they will be sent to jail immediately.

2. The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the law presumes anyone accused of any offence INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. So unless the guilt of a person is proven, convicted and sentenced, you cannot label the person a criminal.

3. In criminal cases, the fact that an accused person confesses to the commission of a crime does not automatically mean he’s guilty and will be sent to jail immediately. The law does apply certain rules, especially due to possibility of the confession being obtained under duress, force or torture.

4. The burden of proof in criminal cases, as a general rule, rest solely on the state or prosecution, to prove the commission of a crime beyond reasonable doubt that no other person committed the offence except the defendant.

5. In cases where the punishment is death, even if the accused person confesses, pleads guilty or caught at the scene of the crime, the court must record not guilty, and call upon the prosecution to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt.

6. In criminal cases, any slightest doubt in the case of prosecution is resolved in favour of the accused person.

7. As a defence lawyer, even if your client confesses to you to have committed the crime, it’s not in your place to disclose to the court. Your job is to ensure that a fair trial is conducted.

8. As a constitutional right, every accused person has right to defend himself or through a lawyer of his choice. Where he cannot afford one, it’s the duty of the state to provide one for him, especially in capital offences. So on no occasion is someone allowed to face criminal trial without a lawyer except he expressly refuses the services of one.

9. Any criminal conviction on capital offences without a lawyer representing the accused, or on the basis of admission of guilt in court, without more is liable to be set aside.

10. Stop calling a lawyer representing anybody accused of a crime bad names simply because you don’t like the accused or the offence committed is too serious.

Any statement on Amorin yet? @ManUtd

[Ogbeni Akeem Badru @akeembadru]

@egi_nupe D Law, they are ALL AGBERO. Every activity u see on Lagos road today is a UNIT under NURTW/RTEAN. These activities were created/allowed to accommodate more people and deter them from "crime".

[Ogbeni Akeem Badru @akeembadru]

@ManUtd, part ways with Amorin- he is presently confused. Today's formation proves that

@Tife_badass @BenHundeyin Can't police officers who carry fire arms and extorted money from citizens be charged with ARMED ROBBERY?

That Sam Omatseye article will trigger a lot of responses from northern political commentariat.

I expect a number of rejoinders to be published in Daily Trust in the next few days.

It may not be enough to influence much votes, but that article may be a disservice to BAT in core north.

A full blown literary battle (extending to media) may be impending.

@mrlurvy He missed it the moment he didn't deny Kollington's call(s). Can he ignore the Governor's call?
