Leah Sharibu, the Christian girl abducted by members of Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), has reportedly “remarried” another terrorist commander after securing a divorce from the first ‘husband’ she was forcefully given to.

Suspects Faked Court Fainting for Drama — IG

Published

on

Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun has revealed that the courtroom fainting episodes involving six suspects before their arraignment were intentionally staged to gain negative publicity.

Egbetokun emphasized that medical assistance was immediately given, highlighting the police force’s dedication to ensuring the well-being of all individuals in its custody.

On Friday, 76 suspects—many of them minors appearing visibly undernourished—were brought to court in connection with the #EndBadGovernance protest. During the session, six suspects collapsed and had to be carried out for urgent care.

Despite the drama, the court set bail for each minor at N10 million, sparking widespread criticism, both at home and abroad.

In a statement dated November 1 and signed by Force Spokesperson Muyiwa Adejobi, the Inspector-General underscored that anyone who has reached the age of criminal responsibility must answer for their actions under Nigerian law, regardless of their age.

Egbetokun stated, “Today, an unexpected incident in court saw six of the suspects suddenly rush out and faint, drawing media attention in a deliberate and scripted manner to attract negative attention.

“Medical aid was promptly provided to these individuals, demonstrating the Police Force’s commitment to the welfare of those in its custody, irrespective of the allegations they face.”

Nigeria Charges 76 with Treason Over Protests

Published

on

Nigeria has charged 76 individuals, including 30 minors, with treason and incitement of a military coup following deadly protests in August over economic hardship, according to court documents released on Friday.

The protests erupted across Abuja, Lagos, and other cities as people voiced anger over economic reforms that have fueled runaway inflation and deepened everyday struggles.

Despite the backlash, President Bola Tinubu has defended the reforms as essential for stabilizing the country.

Amnesty International reported that at least 13 people lost their lives in clashes with security forces on the first day of the demonstrations.

A rights organization revealed that the minors involved have been detained by police since August for joining protests aimed at highlighting the worsening insecurity and economic difficulties that many Nigerians are facing.

Court documents indicated that investigations into the suspects took place between July and August. Police representatives did not respond to requests for comment on the prolonged detention of the minors.

Lawyers representing the minors stated that bail has been granted, and the trial is scheduled to begin in January.

Nigeria continues to battle a severe cost-of-living crisis and persistent insecurity.

The ongoing instability, particularly in the northern region, has hampered agricultural productivity and led to a wave of kidnappings by armed groups, targeting residents and schoolchildren for ransom.
