Woman jailed for forging late Abba Kyari’s signature
A Federal Capital Territory High Court in Gwagwalada, Abuja, has found Ramat Mba guilty of forging the signature of the late Abba Kyari, former Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari.
The conviction was confirmed in a statement released by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), which was shared X on Sunday.
Evidence presented during the trial revealed that Mba deceitfully replicated the letterhead paper of the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President, along with Kyari’s signature.

Mba was brought before the court by the ICPC in June 2022, facing charges including cheating, fraud, and forgery, as outlined in Sections 13 and 320 (b), 366 of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act 200 and the Penal Code Cap 89 laws of Northern Nigeria.
Among the charges, Mba was accused of defrauding a job seeker, Ismail Oladipupo, of N700,000 under the pretense of securing employment for him at the National Space Research and Development Agency (NASDRA).
During the trial, the ICPC’s prosecutor, Mr. Hamza Sani, presented evidence detailing how Mba misled individuals by promising them employment opportunities at various government agencies, including the Federal Inland Revenue Service, NASDRA, and the ICPC itself.
In his verdict, Justice Ibrahim Muhammad convicted Mba on multiple counts related to cheating and forgery, while dismissing one count related to felony.
Sentencing for Mba has been postponed until Thursday, May 16, 2024, with the directive to remand her in Suleja Correctional Centre until then.

Seaman ejected from barracks, after six-year detention, wife cries out
Abbas Haruna, a Seaman who was reportedly detained for almost six years following orders from a senior Nigerian Navy officer, has finally been released.
During a popular Abuja-based radio program, Brekete Family, Haruna’s wife, Hussaina Iliya, previously alleged that her husband had been unjustly detained since 2018 by the military.
Iliya accused a senior military officer of being responsible for Haruna’s prolonged detention and torture.
Her claims gained widespread attention, leading to the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, and the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, calling for an investigation into the matter.

Although the Defence Headquarters initially stated that Haruna had never been arrested, a video surfaced showing the Seaman resisting disarmament by personnel, with gunshots being fired during the altercation.
On Friday, Iliya and her husband appeared on Brekete Family, where they confirmed that Abbas had been released. According to Iliya, her husband has also been discharged from the military.
Speaking tearfully, she expressed her dedication to staying by his side: “I will be with him no matter the situation. They have discharged him. He was ejected from the barracks. I love my husband. I love him,” she said, recounting their ordeal.
