A 56-year-old Nigerian woman, Gladys Adaeze Okafor, has been arrested and charged with illegally voting in the 2022 midterm elections in the United States after lying about her citizenship | Eagle Media TV Nigeria

United States Attorney Leah B. Foley and Jeff Grimming, Acting Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations in New England made the announcement in a release issued the Department of Justice on Wednesday, September 16, 2026.

The Defendant residing in Lynn, Massachusets, Boston, also allegedly voted in the 2024 Presidential primary election.

Okafor, is charged with unlawfully voting as an alien.

The defendant was arrested on Wednesday morning.

She is expected to appear in federal court in Boston on the same day.

According to the charging documents, Okafor is a citizen of Nigeria who was born in Aba, Abia State.


Okafor obtained lawful permanent resident status in December 2022 but is not a U.S. citizen and has not applied for U.S. citizenship.

In July 2022, Okafor allegedly submitted a voter registration card, signing her name under a certification which provided “I AM A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES … Signed under penalty of perjury.”

The City of Lynn subsequently registered her to vote, and Okafor allegedly voted in the midterm elections that fall.

It is further alleged that Okafor submitted a second voter registration form in October of 2023, checking the “U.S. Citizen” box and signing under the U.S. citizen certification. Okafor allegedly voted in the 2024 presidential primary election.

The charge of unlawful voting as an alien provides for a sentence of up to one year in prison, one year of supervised release and a fine of $100,000.

The defendant may be subject to deportation upon completion of any sentence imposed. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S.

Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, has said some electricity consumers have jokingly asked him to slow down efforts to improve power supply, saying they were now experiencing electricity for longer hours and their freezers were “freezing.” | Eagle Media TV Nigeria

Tegbe made the remark on Wednesday while speaking at the commissioning of a 3-megawatt solar hybrid power project at Yakubu Gowon University, formerly the University of Abuja.

The minister said recent interventions by the Federal Government had resulted in improved electricity supply in some parts of the country, including areas that previously experienced prolonged outages.

“Places that didn’t have light at all for three months are now having 18 hours of light. Some areas called me to say, look, I should slow down, that everything in their freezer is freezing,” he said.

Tegbe, however, responded humorously: “That is what a freezer is meant to do. Let it freeze the food that needs to be frozen.”

The minister recalled that during his Senate screening, he had assured Nigerians that improvements in electricity supply would become noticeable within three to six months.

He acknowledged that the power sector still faced significant infrastructure challenges, noting that some electricity facilities across the country were more than four decades old.

“Some of the infrastructure we have in the electricity and power sector are more than 40 years old. We’re systematically replacing them, phasing them out and bringing new ones,” Tegbe said.

Minister Raises Alarm Over Power Infrastructure Vandalism

Tegbe also raised concerns over the continued vandalism of critical electricity infrastructure, revealing that three major transmission towers in Birnin Kebbi had recently been brought down by vandals.

According to the minister, the affected towers formed part of the infrastructure supplying electricity to Kebbi State and extending towards the Niger Republic.

He said the vandals attacked the foundations of the towers before pulling them down and cutting parts of the structures for sale in the scrap market.

“You will not believe how many towers get pulled down by vandals,” he said.

Tegbe disclosed that the Federal Government had established a joint working committee involving the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Nigeria Police Force and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps to monitor and protect national electricity assets.

He said the government was also working towards ensuring that vandalism of critical power infrastructure was treated as a serious criminal offence.

58,726 Students to Benefit From Solar Project

Speaking on the solar project at Yakubu Gowon University, Tegbe said the facility combines a 3.3-megawatt solar array with 3MW AC output capacity and battery storage.

He said the project was designed to provide reliable electricity to critical facilities across the university, including lecture halls, laboratories, information and communication technology facilities, administrative buildings and campus lighting.

According to him, more than 58,726 students are expected to benefit from the project.

The facility has 6,078 photovoltaic panels and 388 streetlights installed across the university campus.

The Managing Director of the Rural Electrification Agency, Abba Abubakar Aliyu, described the project as a significant milestone under the agency’s Energising Education Programme.

The Vice-Chancellor of Yakubu Gowon University, Prof. Hakeem Fawehinmi, also said reliable electricity was essential to the institution’s academic activities.

He noted that dependable power supply would support teaching, research, laboratory activities, information technology and other critical operations of the university.

The Presidency has challenged the presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, to honour his pledge to withdraw from the 2027 presidential race if claims about his financial record as Anambra State governor are proven otherwise | Eagle Media TV Nigeria

Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, issued the challenge on Wednesday while reacting to the latest dispute between Obi and the Anambra State Government over the financial liabilities allegedly inherited from his administration.

Onanuga, in a post on X, recalled Obi’s earlier statement that he would stop campaigning if anyone could establish that his administration left outstanding financial obligations when he handed over power in March 2014.

“Peter Obi claimed he left Anambra with a clean slate of debt,” Onanuga wrote, adding that the former governor had been “confronted with facts and figures” by the state government concerning liabilities involving Water Corporation workers, teachers, pensions and gratuities.

The presidential aide also questioned Obi’s claim of leaving the state without debts, alleging that the former governor borrowed for what he described as “frivolous things.”

He then asked whether Obi would follow through on his earlier pledge to withdraw from the presidential contest if the allegations against his administration were established.

The latest development follows a fresh response by the Anambra State Government to Obi’s claims about the financial position of the state when he left office.

The Commissioner for Information and Value Reorientation, Law Mefor, said Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s administration had cleared about N22 billion in gratuity arrears inherited from previous administrations and owed to retired state and local government workers and teachers.

The commissioner also said the state continued to service external loans associated with projects implemented during or inherited by Obi’s administration.

According to the state government, eight external loans had a combined outstanding balance of $92.35 million, equivalent to N127.37 billion, as of June 30, 2026.

The loans, it said, were connected to projects involving malaria control, erosion management, healthcare, education, community development and agricultural value-chain development.

Mefor also cited salary arrears allegedly owed to workers of the defunct Anambra State Water Corporation, saying the liabilities persisted throughout Obi’s tenure and were subsequently inherited by later administrations.

The commissioner maintained that the state government was not interested in an argument over which administration was responsible for paying particular arrears but wanted the financial records placed on the public record.

Obi, however, has consistently rejected the allegations.

The former governor has said his administration cleared more than N35 billion in historical gratuities and arrears before leaving office and did not owe salaries, pensions or gratuities when he handed over power.

He has also disputed the state government’s account of an ecological fund allegedly left by his administration.

Obi said more than N2.13 billion remained untouched in a First Bank account earmarked for addressing the Oko/Umuchiana erosion crisis.

He also maintained that his administration left more than N75 billion in savings for subsequent governments.

The former governor challenged anyone with evidence contradicting his claims to make it public.

“If anybody can establish anything to the contrary, I will stop campaigning,” Obi had said.

The disagreement between Obi and the Anambra Government has now become part of the political debate ahead of the 2027 presidential election, with both sides presenting different accounts of the state’s financial position at the end of his tenure.

While the Anambra Government maintains that substantial loans and arrears were inherited from previous administrations, Obi insists that his administration settled its financial obligations and left the state in a strong fiscal position.

The claims and counterclaims remain contested, with the Presidency now using Obi’s own pledge as the basis for its demand that he withdraw from the presidential race if the allegations are established.

The Federal High Court in Abuja has given former Vice President and African Democratic Congress presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar seven days to serve President Bola Tinubu with a suit seeking to stop him from contesting the 2027 presidential election over an alleged certificate forgery | Eagle Media TV Nigeria

Justice Inyang Ekwo issued the order on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, after Atiku’s legal team applied for substituted service. The court approved service of the court processes on Tinubu through his political party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The suit, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1888/2026, was filed by Atiku and the ADC, with Tinubu, the APC and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) listed as defendants. Atiku is asking the court to determine whether Tinubu is qualified to contest the 2027 presidential election.

Atiku’s case centres on an alleged discrepancy involving a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) discharge certificate submitted to INEC. His court filing alleges that the certificate bears the name “Tinubu Bola Adekunle” rather than “Bola Ahmed Tinubu.” These are allegations contained in Atiku’s court filing and remain subject to judicial determination.

The latest order follows earlier proceedings in which service of the suit had stalled. The court had previously adjourned the matter to September 28, but Wednesday’s ruling provides a fresh seven-day window for Atiku to effect service through the APC.
