Rendition: IPOB alerts UN, EU, AU, USA, others
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has raised the alarm that there are plans to abduct and rendition some of its members abroad.
The group’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, who made this claim yesterday in a statement, alleged that the Federal Government is working “with some traitors to abduct and rendition some key members of IPOB and Biafra agitators abroad just the same way they renditioned our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.”
According to Powerful, the action was to weaken the movement and frustrate the struggle for Biafra restoration.
He specifically said that Mazi Chinasa Nworu is top on the list of those pencilled down for illegal rendition or extradition.
“But we want to remind the plotters and collaborators of this evil plan that extraordinary rendition remains a crime against international law in any part of the world,” Powerful said, accusing a certain barrister as being “recruited to write a petition persuading the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, Abubakar Mallami to repeat what he did to our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in Kenya to other top IPOB leadership.”

He said: “Those behind this evil plot think that they have succeeded in abducting Nnamdi Kanu, so it will be easy for them to now go after his supporters, but they are day-dreaming.
“We are, therefore, placing countries of the world on notice of this wicked plot against innocent peaceful agitators of Biafra. We alert countries around the world, including Africa Union, Europe Union, USA, United Nations, Asia and Australia to protect Biafrans in their respective countries. They should protect Biafrans against their oppressors.
“The world should not keep quiet over the atrocities against Biafrans. We are peaceful and only ask for a referendum to determine our fate. The world must not mortgage its conscience in the face of the sustained atrocities, human rights abuses and crimes against humanity being committed by the Nigerian state against Biafrans.”

BREAKING: Court acquits Ex-AGF Adoke
BREAKING: Court acquits Ex-AGF Adoke
A former Attorney-General of the Federation, Mohammed Bello Adoke, has been acquitted of money laundering charges by an Abuja Federal High Court.
Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja, upheld Adoke’s “no case” submission against the money laundering charges.
In 2017, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) charged Adoke and Abubakar Aliyu, a property developer, with laundering about N300 million.
While the EFCC acknowledged before Ekwo that it was a mortgage taken by Adoke from Unity Bank, it alleged before Justice Kutigi that the money constituted a bribe from the sale of an oil block by Malabu Oil & Gas Ltd in 2011.

On March 28, 2024, Kutigi dismissed the charges against Adoke and others, citing contradictions and criticizing the EFCC for a four-year trial.
Justice Ekwo, on Friday, ruled that the EFCC failed to provide evidence to prove the essential elements of the offence against Adoke, acquitting him of the charges.
However, Ekwo mandated Aliyu, the second defendant, to open his defence, stating that he has a case to answer.

BREAKING: Tension in Benue as riot police take over APC secretariat
Anti-riot Police forces have assumed control of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Secretariat led by Comrade Austin Agade in Makurdi, the capital of Benue state.
This marks the second instance within a month. It’s noteworthy that Makurdi hosts two separate APC secretariats, with Agada heading one and Benjamin Omakolo overseeing the other.
The Agada-led APC State Working Committee (SWC) had scheduled the inauguration of members of the zoning committee for the upcoming council elections at their Secretariat on Friday the 19th.

In a pre-emptive move, anti-riot police trucks arrived as early as 6 a.m., barricading all routes leading to the Secretariat.
At present, the situation is chaotic, with motorcycle riders, suspected to be aligned with the Benjamin Omakolo-led APC State Working Committee, occupying the area. Chief Of Staff Paul Biam has characterized this faction as the authentic APC.
Governor Hyacient Alia previously issued a ban on all political activities and public gatherings in Benue State, and it appears this directive remains in force.
