Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s case is purely political-Femi Falana, SAN.
There is no legal or moral basis for keeping him detained indefinitely, especially when the Federal Government freely negotiates with bandits, terrorists, and other criminal elements who have caused untold harm to this nation.

Femi Falana hits the nail on the head—Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s detention is clearly political. If the government can negotiate freely with terrorists, kidnappers, and criminals, there’s no reason to deny him his freedom. Justice and consistency demand it. Step up or step aside.

The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has reacted to the passing of Reverend Dr Uma Ukpai, a renowned evangelist, teacher, and senior pastor.

Uma Ukpai passed on on 6th October 2025 at the age of 80.

Ukpai was a towering figure in the Church in Nigeria whose evangelistic ministry spanned over six decades.

“His unwavering commitment to the work of God and his passion for the salvation of souls left an enduring mark on the Christian community in Nigeria and beyond. Generations of believers have been inspired by his message of faith, healing, and hope in Christ Jesus,” the statement added.

FIFA set to ban league games abroad.

FIFA is looking at adjusting its rules as it concerns staging domestic league fixtures in foreign countries.

According to Goal, the world football governing body is seeking legal advice on potentially banning them outright.

This comes after UEFA reluctantly approved LaLiga and Serie A games to be played overseas.

The games to be played are Villarreal vs Barcelona in Miami and AC Milan vs Como in Perth.

Amid growing controversy over domestic league matches being played abroad, FIFA is working on a more robust rulebook for early next year.

The effort follows UEFA’s approval of games abroad, for which it blamed the loopholes in the existing, outdated regulations.

FIFA’s 2014 rules do not grant it the power to stop such games, provided all necessary parties approve.
Nice move.

Court Orders Arrest of Former INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu for Contempt

The Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo, Osun State, has ordered the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to arrest the immediate past chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, over alleged contempt of court.

The order was issued just hours after Yakubu vacated office as INEC chairman. It followed a suit filed by the Action Alliance (AA) accusing INEC and Yakubu of failing to comply with an earlier judgment delivered by Justice Funmilola Demi-Ajayi in suit number FHC/OS/CS/194/2024.

The court had previously directed INEC to upload the names of the AA National Chairman, Adekunle Rufai Omoaje, and other members of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) on its official portal. Justice Demi-Ajayi also affirmed that the party’s elective convention held on October 7, 2023—which produced Omoaje as chairman—was validly conducted and duly monitored by INEC officials in line with the Electoral Act and the party’s constitution.

INEC, however, claimed to have complied with the ruling, but the Action Alliance disagreed, noting that Omoaje’s name was still missing from the commission’s website despite the inclusion of other NEC members and state chairmen.

In a fresh order dated October 7, 2025, and signed by court official O.M. Kilani, the court directed the Inspector General of Police to arrest Yakubu and initiate contempt and committal proceedings within seven days. The court also awarded ₦100,000 in costs against the judgment creditors.

FACT CHECK

Was Prof. Joash Amupitan a member of the legal team of Bola Tinubu and the APC in the presidential election petition of 2023?

Yes, Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan, SAN—a distinguished Nigerian legal scholar, professor of law at the University of Jos, and Senior Advocate of Nigeria—was part of the legal team representing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 presidential election petition tribunal. The tribunal, presided over by the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC), heard challenges to Tinubu’s victory in the February 2023 general elections, primarily from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by Atiku Abubakar and the Labour Party (LP) led by Peter Obi.
Key Details of His Role
• Position on the Team: Amupitan served as lead counsel for the APC and Tinubu during the proceedings. This role involved defending the election’s integrity against allegations of irregularities, non-compliance with electoral laws (e.g., the Electronic Transmission of Results or IReV system), voter suppression, and Tinubu’s eligibility under Section 137 of the 1999 Constitution.
• Context of the Case: The APC’s defense, coordinated under lead counsel Chief Wole Olanipekun, SAN, argued that the petitioners failed to substantiate claims of widespread malpractice. Amupitan contributed to this strategy, focusing on legal precedents in electoral law, evidence admissibility, and procedural dismissals. The tribunal ultimately dismissed the petitions on September 6, 2023, upholding Tinubu’s victory in a unanimous 4-0 decision (with one justice recusing).
• Team Composition: The APC assembled a formidable team of over 50 Senior Advocates, including Olanipekun, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN, now Attorney-General), and others like Gordy Uche (SAN) and Adeniyi Akintola (SAN). Amupitan’s expertise in corporate governance, evidence law, and electoral reforms aligned with the defense’s emphasis on dismissing petitions for lack of merit.
Evidence and Sources
This involvement has been corroborated in multiple reports, particularly amid recent scrutiny following Tinubu’s nomination of Amupitan as INEC Chairman in October 2025. Civil society groups, such as the Coalition of Civil Society Organizations in Nigeria (COCSON), highlighted his prior role as a potential conflict of interest, urging rejection of the nomination to preserve INEC’s neutrality. For instance:
• COCSON explicitly noted Amupitan’s service as “lead counsel to the APC and President Tinubu during the 2023 Presidential Election Petition Tribunal,” arguing it could erode public trust in electoral impartiality.
Broader Implications
Amupitan’s participation underscores his deep engagement in high-stakes electoral litigation, drawing from his over 30 years of legal practice since being called to the Bar in 1988. However, his 2025 INEC nomination—approved by the Council of State on October 9, 2025, and pending Senate confirmation—has reignited debates on partisanship in public appointments. Tinubu described him as “apolitical and a man of integrity,” but critics point to this history as evidence of alignment with the APC.
This confirmation is based on contemporaneous 2023 reports and recent 2025 analyses of his career trajectory.
