IPOB to Malami: Your hatred for Nnamdi Kanu will soon destroy you, Nigeria

Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Alhaji Abubakar Malami

The Indigenous People of Biafra has told the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, that his hatred for the leader of the group, Nnamdi Kanu, and the Igbo in general will soon consume him and Nigeria.

IPOB stated this against the backdrop of the opposition of Malami to the release of Kanu following a court judgment.

Malami had said the release of Kanu will lead to insecurity in the South East.

Owing to this, the Federal Government has appealed the ruling of the Court of Appeal discharging Kanu of the charge of terrorism.

Reacting to this via a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB accused Malami of promoting ethnic agenda against its leader.

The statement also said, “We condemn the disgraceful, irresponsible, and unguarded statements from Alhaji Abubakar Malami, the quota system Attorney General and Minister of Justice, who often spew out garbage publicly that seems to reduce his integrity and honour every time.

“Alhaji Abubakar Malami transferred the honourable justices who displayed sincerity in justice on the 13th of October 2022 in the Appeal Court, to work on the minds of the newly appointed judges and has used them to order a stay of execution of justice which they have carried out today being Friday the 28th of October 2022.

“What a shame to these judges who were just selected a week ago to carry out this injustice to allow the stay of execution of orders by the same court only two weeks ago. They have displayed their ignorance of the law and their willingness to act unjustly due to their lack of independence for allowing themselves to be used by an illiterate and quota system attorney General and Minister of justice. They may not know what they did to themselves now but later, they will realise that their careers have been trashed by this singular act.

“Alhaji Abubakar Malami should go back and read his law books again because all the charges and cases he cited during his interview with Vanguard were embedded in the cases quashed by the Appeal Court. He is just exhibiting ignorance, stupidity, and myopic understanding of the law and the Constitution of the same country he claims to be representing. He should redeem some of his credibility by simply obeying the court orders.

“The world is watching his ignorance of the law. We are laughing at him because his reputation and that of Nigeria is going down every day as they keep disobeying their own courts. We realise that since the extraordinary rendition of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Malami has been ill, physically shrinking and weakening because of unwarranted personal hatred he has against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Ndigbo. Let Malami and his collaborators know that their hatred against Mazi Kanu and Ndigbo will destroy them and Nigeria soon.”

Lagos govt insists nightclubs, worship centres must obtain permit for amplified sound

The Lagos State Government has rolled out stricter measures to combat noise pollution, requiring nightclubs, lounges, bars, and worship centres to obtain permits for events involving amplified sound.

The measure, it said, aimed to safeguard the health and well-being of Lagosians during the festive season and beyond.

Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, announced this via his official X (formerly Twitter) account on Saturday, emphasizing the government’s zero-tolerance stance on noise pollution.

Wahab highlighted that events with amplified sound must be conducted in soundproofed, enclosed spaces to protect residents from the harmful effects of excessive noise.

“Establishments such as worship centers, nightclubs, lounges, and bars must now obtain permits for events involving amplified sound and ensure these activities take place in soundproofed, enclosed spaces to protect neighboring residents,” the statement read in part.

To enforce these directives, the government said it had established a Special Task Force on Noise Pollution under the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA).

This task force, in collaboration with the Lagos State Neighborhood Safety Corps (LSNSC) and the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC), would oversee compliance, arrest offenders, and prosecute violators of noise regulations, it stated.

The statement further noted that starting January 2025, the government would roll out a public awareness campaign to educate Lagosians on acceptable noise levels and the benefits of a quieter environment.

Oluwo backs push for Sharia law in South-West

Oluwo backs push for Sharia law in South-West

The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi, has expressed support for the proposed implementation of Sharia law in the South-West, emphasizing its historical presence in Yoruba culture.

Oba Akanbi noted that Sharia principles have long been part of Yoruba land, citing examples such as Sharia banking and the existence of a Sharia college in Iwo, Osun State.

He stated, “Sharia law has been in Iwo for over 100 years… It’s the right of Muslims to choose customary law or the high court.”

Recall that the discussion around Sharia law gained traction after plans were announced for the inauguration of a Sharia council on January 11, 2025, at the Muslim Community Islamic Centre in Oyo. However, the event has been postponed indefinitely following widespread public criticism.

Critics have argued that the Yoruba-dominated South-West, where Muslims and Christians coexist, is distinct from the predominantly Muslim northern region where Sharia is more widely practiced.

Addressing concerns, Oba Akanbi explained that Sharia law is already embedded in Nigeria’s constitution and should not cause alarm for non-Muslims.

“Sharia law is only for Muslims and does not concern others. If any other person likes it, they can convert to Islam, and Muslims can also convert to Christianity. Everyone is free,” he said.

The monarch also drew attention to the challenges faced by Muslims under existing laws, particularly in matters such as inheritance and divorce, where Western legal frameworks may not align with Islamic traditions. “Many Muslims feel disenfranchised… Western education doesn’t understand the ways of Muslim divorce, marriage, and inheritance,” he added.

Oba Akanbi emphasized that Sharia law represents the inalienable rights of Muslims and should not be viewed as a threat to other religions. “No government can deny Muslims their inalienable rights,” he concluded.
