BREAKING NEWS

Court Orders Commencement of Trial of Ex-Minister Kabiru Turaki, SAN

Abuja, June 11, 2026

The Federal Capital Territory High Court, Maitama, on Thursday ordered the commencement of trial of former Minister Kabiru Turaki, SAN.

Recall that the matter, Charge No. FCT/HC/CR/647/2025, came up for arraignment on April 22, 2026, and was adjourned to June 11, 2026.

IN COURT:
The prosecuting counsel made reference to a 22-page counter affidavit which it filed on the 23rd of March, the same day as the written address, which the prosecuting counsel stated it wished to adopt.

Argument on the deponent

Ibrahim Abdulaziz, SAN, defence counsel, argued that the affidavit offends Section 115 of the Evidence Act. According to him, the deponent did not disclose his source of information, and that the deponent is neither an IPO nor a prosecution witness. He further urged the court to strike out the entire paragraph of the affidavit and argued on the ground of vagueness, claiming that the complainant intends only to persecute the defendant, as according to him, the charge did not disclose any prima facie evidence against the defendant.

The defence counsel further argued that the charge traumatises the defendant socially, mentally, and emotionally, and urged the court to quash the charge, forgetting that the defendant was the first to petition the Nigeria Police Force, which, upon a rigorous investigation process, found his claims to be false and charged him to court. After being charged to court, the defendant further accused the NPF of mutilating files, and also accused a judge of the FCT High Court in Zuba, necessitating the matter to be moved to another court, the FCT High Court, Maitama under Justice Kekemeke, where a bench warrant had to be issued against him for failing severally to appear before the court.

The prosecuting counsel, U.U. Rabiu, in response to the submission of the defence counsel, cited the case of Josien Lornamead Ltd (1995), where the court held that affidavit evidence is a statement of fact or information heard or received from someone by the deponent.

He argued that the deponent is an officer or staff attached to the office of the complainant (Director of Legal Services, NPF), who is the custodian of the original case file, and that the deponent personally sourced his information. He further argued that the provision of Section 396(2) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act provides that any preliminary objection after the plea of the defendant has been taken should be determined along with the substantive matter before the court.

The prosecuting counsel asked the court to make an order for accelerated hearing.

COURT RULING:
The court ruled that there is a lacuna in the supporting affidavit. However, going by the aforementioned provision, which is a "mandatory provision", the court refused the application of the defendant and ordered the commencement of trial.

The matter was adjourned to 18th June, 2026.

This report is based on proceedings in open court on June 11, 2026, before the Federal Capital Territory High Court, Maitama. The defendant, Kabiru Turaki, SAN, is presumed innocent until proven guilty. All parties are entitled to fair hearing under the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Administration of Criminal Justice Act.

TUESDAY JUNE 9 2026.

INEC HOLDS IMPORTANT CONSULTATIVE MEETING WITH ALL POLITICAL PARTIES.

The Independent National Electoral Commission @inecnigeria is currently in a Second Quarterly Consultative meeting with all registered political parties and their recognized National Chairmen and National Secretaries.

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Hon. Abdulrahman Muhammed Takushara alongside the National. Secretary of the party Sen. Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu are visibly actively present.

Recognised Men and Women of the fourth estate of the realm are also present at this important meeting.

The Honorable Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Prof. Joash Amupitan (SAN) in his opening remarks welcomed all leaders of political parties emphasizing that the regular engagements remain an important pillar of our democratic process. "Political Parties are not merely contestants in elections; they are critical stakeholders and indispensable partners in the consolidation of constitutional democracy in Nigeria", he said.

He addressed some judicial pronouncements and updated on actions and steps taken so far to tackle any challenge in a timely and transparent manner. He also made reference to accountability mechanism to make the system robust while also highlighting on the submission and recognition of names of persons and candidates in parties as preparation for 2027 General Election gets into top gear. He emphasised that the primary elections remain gateway to successful elections and hitch free elections and the need to reflect on lessons learned from previous electoral cycles.

He further urged political parties to complete submissions before the deadline, while calling for intensified voters education and need for collection of PVCs and urged leaders of political parties to ensure strict adherence to the constitution, electoral act and party guidelines. He called for discouragement of vote buying and other acts that jeopardise effort and credibility.

With 220 days to the general election, the INEC consultative meeting with all political parties is critical for credible, peaceful, and orderly polls.
This move Aligns Expectations Early as
220 days out is when timelines, guidelines, and procedures get finalized. The meeting ensures all parties understand INEC’s rules on primaries, candidate nomination, campaign finance, polling unit processes, and results transmission. No surprises, no excuses on election day.
It is also expected that this meeting builds trust and reduces tension knowing that Elections are won or lost on perception. Therefore INEC's meeting with parties openly to share updates on voter register, PVC distribution, technology like BVAS/IReV, and security plans, is critical.

Above all, it is expected to strengthen Code of Conduct & Peace as INEC and political parties are expected to reaffirm commitment to non-violence, issue-based campaigns, and compliance with the Electoral Act. 220 days gives time for party leadership to cascade the message to candidates and supporters at state/LGA level and improve election credibility especially as the Governorship elections in Ekiti is just 11 days away and Osun Governorship Election which is scheduled to hold on 20th June 2026 with special reference to the signing of "Peace Accord" by political parties in Ekiti state.

They have so many child fighters. 😳

Could they be recruiting Almajiri kids? I worry for Nigeria.

[Ose Anenih, CPM @ose_anenih]

I understand the anger, but this isn’t right. Democracy is about choice, not tyranny.

Let people vote their consciences. As they are campaigning, do the same thing. Just try to make the more compelling argument.

Second Encore or Outro?:
Bayo why are you quoting @seunokin's personal post and trying to force what you said or did or didn't say during your TV appearance.
Almost like you're feeling entitled to another human being putting out a word for you or infusing you into their personal posts/stand when you have your own space and TL on this same X why didn't you just go post your own. Oh! We know why... You clearly want to set him up to be pelted with stones, insulted and labeled wrongly.

Honestly but for the obnoxious and disrespectful things you say, do and throw at Nigerians, I doubt anyone would even bother indulging or responding to you.
"I called on Nigerians to put aside this and that".. coming from you who frigging came here and insulted and entire tribe in MARCH 2023 and laid emphasis on the fact that you reeled out such slurs.

You wake up every day and haul insults on Nigerians.
Bayo, you've displayed a demonic level of insensitivity on both political and tribal matters here, yet you have the nerves to try to sneak in "I called on". Go and call on your masters leave Nigerians the heck alone, leave us alone we are struggling to survive, fighting hard to just be alive and safe in our own country.

Go make your money, go and gather more insults, and slurs founded on bigotry and post them but don't come to us while you're it don't come to "I called on all Nigerians" No! you don't dare! Better go and call on only those you consider humans, call them by names but leave "Nigerians" alone.

We all will be remembered by what we have done on earth.
LEAVE US ALONE BAYO !!

As for you @seunokin the sooner you call for action from the right persons in authority the better for you.
How does an average citizen "stand united to fight" terrorists when even the very essence and concept of community policing is polluted by persons forced on people as head of such affairs? When community policing has been totally overtaken by unimportant gatherings and activities; turned to Money making ventures with zero impact on the communities while chasing aggrandizement and seeking validation that can never be gotten so long as they keep operating from a place of deceit,selfiness, greed and utter wickedness.
