@ruffydfire "Fool me once, shame on you....Fool me twice, shame on me". That's the only response this 9 minute fable deserves. Tinubu and the APC MUST go

[Chidi Anselm Odinkalu, CGoF @ChidiOdinkalu]

Politicians & their satraps everywhere want everyone to sit by & watch this madness continue.

So, @NGCourtofAppeal ordered a stay of proceedings. The judge to whom it was directed defied the higher court & proceeded to judgment.

The Court of Appeal described his conduct as the "highest level of judicial impertinence", said on record that he is a "misfit on the bench", & set aside his decision.

@njcNig did nothing.

The CJ of his court took no notice.

Instead, the CJ of his court sent to him another case concerning the same party against whom he had issued a decision in defiance of the Court of Appeal.

Those who want to defend this as what courts exist to do know what they are doing. But it is not law nor is it lawful judicial administration.

If we lack the honesty to call that captured & corrupt on the face of the record, we should all pack up & go home.

In response to this latest outing by Peter Lifu, the increasingly infamous judge of @FederalHigh, Aviation Minister, @fkeyamo, joined the #HeavensWillNotFall gang, in capital letters.

@BabafemiOjudu, a former Senator & presidential adviser, responded to him thoughtfully, inviting him to care about the country.

In a separate response, @Olusegunverdict argues that “when a minister of the Federal Republic, & a respected #SAN, tells critics to keep quiet about a judgment with this history, he is not defending the judiciary.”

The political significance of judicial power is not in doubt. That is precisely why it needs to be conserved with care, not weaponized with recklessness. The price of failing to conserve it can be steep.

#Nigeria’s justice system is increasingly becoming an instrument of oppression. The #CybercrimeAct 2015, originally enacted to combat hacking, online fraud & other cybercrimes, has been twisted into a convenient weapon for harassing, intimidating and silencing journalists and human rights activists.

The continued abuse of this law is an affront to democracy and the rule of law.

In 2024, @fijnigeria reporter, @Mazi_OJD, was charged with cyberstalking & criminal defamation over investigative reports involving a presidential aide & former Lagos State deputy governor, @Adejoke_O_A.

One of the reports alleged that she paid N147.1 million to a restaurant to construct classroom blocks and a skills acquisition centre at a Lagos primary school. The transaction reportedly took place barely two weeks before the end of former President, @MBuhari's tenure in May 2023.

Former Inspector-General of @PoliceNG, Kayode Egbetokun, is listed as the complainant, while Ojukwu and FIJ founder, @fisayosoyombo, are the defendants.

Ojukwu pleaded #NotGuilty to the 12-count defamation & criminal charges. Yet, in a disturbing display of judicial severity, he was denied bail.

Last Tuesday, Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of @FederalHigh, Abuja, ordered that he be remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre for 21 days, scheduling his bail application for Dec. 1, 2026.

This is outrageous. A journalist who has not been convicted of any offence should not be subjected to prolonged incarceration over reports that question the handling of public funds. If @Adejoke_O_A considers the reports defamatory or inaccurate, the civil courts provide an avenue for redress.

Dragging @PoliceNG & the criminal justice system into what is essentially a dispute over published material smacks of intimidation.

Those – like @fkeyamo – living under the false assurance that the heavens will not fall, stare in the wrong direction. They should fear instead for what may happen to the ground underneath them when some judges and their political patrons finally achieve the goal of rendering the courts irrelevant with a succession of noxious decisions.

Daniel Ojukwu was arrested for exposing corruption, but Tinubu’s aide, Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, who paid N147m to a restaurant to build classrooms, remains free.

“Daniel Ojukwu, a Nigerian Journalist, Is In Detention For Exposing The Fraud And Corruption Surrounding The ₦147 Million Allocated For Building Classrooms For Nigerian Children In Lagos State. Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, a Senior Special Assistant To President Tinubu, Is The Woman Behind His Detention Following The Exposure Of The Diversion Of The Funds.” #FreeDanielOjukwu

[HumAngle_ @HumAngle_]

In the recent charge sheet obtained by the media, Daniel faced a 12-count charge, including what was described as cyber stalking, harassing the senior special assistant and putting her in fear of death, fear of bodily harm and criminal defamation, among other charges. Daniel appeared in court on Nov. 10, facing charges from 2024. The journalist pleaded not guilty to all 12 counts.

For how long are we going to continue like this? This is a democracy. Why should a journalist be detained simply because of a report he made?

I’m speaking about this because I have been a victim of similar circumstances. Nigerians, if we claim to practice democracy, then let us uphold its principles. Let democracy reign! Let freedom of speech truly mean freedom of speech.

Free Ojukwu now!

A Nigerian Journalist has been locked up because he asked questions about what happened to money that was set aside to build classrooms in Lagos.

[Ugo Ahumareze @ugoisweb]

Lmao!!! Smh.

[Ugo Ahumareze @ugoisweb]

@iamgbenga Lmao!!!! Whatever he is, he is better than Ahmed Tinubu who NO ONE has any clue of his background. No one can tell you anything about him before 1974. Plus, Tinubu has failed woefully. Plus, he is old and frail. Let him go and rest.
