Chacha Eke’s husband and filmmaker, Austin Faani has appealed to online trolls to go easy on actor, Yul Edochie over endless dragging. Yul has become less popular in the eyes of many when the actor revealed the birth of a second child with his mistress-turned-wife, Judy Austin.

Abuja Court of Appeal sacks Kano State governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf

The Abuja Court of Appeal on Friday sacked governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano State from office, according to a report from Daily Post. This decision confirmed an earlier ruling by the State Election Petitions Tribunal led by Justice Oluyemi Akintan Osadebay, which had nullified Yusuf’s victory on September 20, 2023.

Abba Kabir Yusuf. The tribunal declared Yusuf Gawuna of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the rightful winner of the March 18 governorship election in the state. The Tribunal invalidated 165,663 votes cast for Yusuf under the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) because they lacked the necessary signatures or stamps from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). This action reduced the governor’s votes to 853,939 while his APC rival, Nasir Ganuwa, retained 890,705 votes. Yusuf disagreed with the tribunal’s decision, calling it “unfair” and “a miscarriage of justice.” He appealed the ruling at the court, with his legal representative, Wole Olanipekun, SAN, requesting the tribunal’s judgment to be overturned. Olanipekun argued against the tribunal’s decision regarding the unsigned ballot papers, stating it was unprecedented for an election to be annulled solely due to the lack of signatures on the back of ballot papers. He highlighted this as the first instance where a political party filed a case without involving its candidate in the petition, and yet, the candidate was declared the winner. However, Akin Olujimi SAN, representing the APC, countered Olanipekun’s argument. He affirmed that the Appeal Court explicitly stated that the absence of signatures on ballots constituted electoral malpractice.

Sanwo-Olu rejects N5m compensation to Uber driver tortured during EndSARS, takes case to appeal court

Lagos governor, Jide Sanwo-Olu, has rejected demands to compensate an Uber driver who was tortured during the EndSARS memorial. A Federal High Court in Lagos had on March 14, 2023 ordered the Lagos State Government to pay the sum of N5 Million as compensation to Adedotun Clement, an Uber driver who was severely tortured on October 20, 2021 at the Lekki Toll-Gate during the first EndSARS anniversary.

Clement was carrying a passenger to Lagos Mainland when he encountered a gridlock at the Lekki Toll-Gate during a protest to commemorate the first anniversary of EndSARS. He was tortured and pepper-sprayed by officers of the Lagos State Neighborhood Safety Agency and policemen. The attack on the Uber driver was captured on video and reported by television stations and newspapers, and attracted a nationwide condemnation. Human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, filed a lawsuit against the Lagos State Government and the Nigeria Police Force to seek redress. Following the judgment, Effiong wrote a letter Governor Sanwo-Olu on March 16, 2023 demanding compliance with the judgment. However, the governor refused to act on the demand. The Lagos State Government has now filed an appeal at the Court of Appeal in Lagos against the judgment. In a Notice of Appeal filed on Tuesday, March 21, 2023, but served on Friday, March 23, signed by Dr. Babajide Martins, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in the Lagos State Ministry of Justice, the government said there was no evidence that the Uber driver was tortured.

PSG to appeal Hakim Ziyech loan transfer collapse after Chelsea sent wrong documents three times

PSG has been left furious after an error from English football club, Chelsea, led to a failed loan move for Moroccan football star, Hakim Ziyech. The Athletic reported that while the Ligue 1 side appeared to have it all wrapped up with the player agreeing to the move and having already flown to Paris to complete a medical, Chelsea failed to file the necessary paperwork before Tuesday’s transfer deadline, with a source from PSG labelling the situation a “Class A circus”. Multiple reports from France say that Chelsea sent the incorrect documents over to PSG on THREE occasions, holding up the deal. ‼️🚨 Chelsea sent the wrong documents for the Hakim Ziyech deal 3 times! PSG will appeal this tomorrow morning in view of the attitude from the English club, reports @bruno_salomon. — EuroFoot (@eurofootcom) January 31, 2023 It was gathered that the right document was sent at midnight local time (23:00 English time), far too late for a deal to go through. PSG are now set to lodge an appeal with the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP), although given their ruthlessness in similar cases in the past, it is thought to be unlikely that the situation will be resolved. If PSG wins their appeal, the Morocco international will join the capital club and fill the role left behind by Pablo Sarabia, who exited for Wolverhampton Wanderers last month. However, if the commission denies the appeal, Ziyech will return to Chelsea with an uncertain future as the English club moves in a different direction that doesn’t include the winger. The gaffe evoked memories of David de Gea’s mooted dream move to Real Madrid allegedly being scuppered due to a faulty fax machine in 2015. Ziyech, a £33 million signing in 2020, is now left in limbo and will be anxiously waiting for the transfer to get the green light.
