A prosecution witness, PW17, an operative of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC and Deputy Superintendent of the EFCC, DCE Ahmed Audu Abubakar, on Monday, February 9, 2026, narrated before Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Maitama, Abuja, how hundreds of millions of naira allegedly diverted from the Kogi State Government House Administration Account were used to acquire high-end properties in choice areas of the Federal Capital Territory.

The EFCC is prosecuting Ali Bello, the Chief of Staff to the Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Usman Ododo, and a nephew of former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Adoza Bello, on a 16-count amended charge, alongside Dauda Sulaiman and one Abdulsalami Hudu, the former cashier of the Kogi State Government House Administration Account (now at large).

The defendants are standing trial over allegations of misappropriation and money laundering to the tune of ₦10,270,556,800, funds allegedly withdrawn from the Kogi State treasury and delivered to a Bureau de Change operator, Rabiu Tafada, in Abuja, to keep or convert to foreign currencies for personal use.

At the resumed hearing on Monday, Abubakar told the court that the first defendant, Ali Bello, used ₦900 million to acquire a property located at No. 35 Danube Street, Maitama, Abuja, Spring Hall School.

“My Lord, the property belongs to a Honourable from Bauchi State and was put up for sale for that amount. The first defendant procured the services of a lawyer, Barrister Ramalan, to broker the transaction. Barrister Ramalan carried out the instruction as directed by the first defendant, and the property was eventually purchased.

The payment was made in cash at the office of the Bureau de Change in Zone 4, Abuja, after the naira equivalent was converted to dollars. That was the finding of our investigation regarding the transaction,” he said.

The witness further stated that the funds used for the purchase were withdrawn at different times from the Kogi State Government House Administration Account.

When shown Exhibit H by prosecution counsel, Rotimi Oyedepo, SAN, the witness confirmed that it was a Deed of Assignment between Pauchi Ventures Nigeria Limited and Y3 Nigeria Limited.

Asked to identify Y3 Nigeria Limited, the witness explained:
“My Lord, Y3 is the company provided by the first defendant to his lawyer for the preparation of the Deed of Assignment.”

Moving to count four of the charge, Oyedepo, SAN, stated that the defendant allegedly used ₦920 million to acquire a property located at No. 2 Justice Chukwudi (or Oguta) Street, Asokoro, Abuja, funds he reasonably ought to have known were proceeds of unlawful activity.
Responding, the witness confirmed that the EFCC identified the property during investigations.
“My lord, the transaction was brokered by the former Governor of Kogi State, His Excellency Yahaya Bello, himself. He approached a contractor friend who had recently acquired the property through Wastle Motors, owned by Alhaji Sa’id Dantsoho”
“They agreed on a price, and the owner accessed a facility from Access Bank. It was agreed that the property would be sold at the same amount it was acquired. Payment was to be made ‘in kind’ because His Excellency had just assumed office and promised to patronize the contractor during his administration.”

An account was provided into which loan repayments would be made. During the period, there were numerous cash deposits from Lokoja and transfers from the Bureau de Change operated by Rabiu Tafada, including through his company, Busynet. All BDC transfers were carried out on the instruction of the first defendant, Ali Bello. That is how the property was paid for, My Lord”, he said.
The witness stated that the total facility collected as of March 21, 2018, stood at ₦808,698,263.29.

Abubakar further told the court that on April 8, 2020, multiple cash deposits were made at the Lokoja Branch of Access Bank towards servicing the loan. He listed the deposits as follows:
• Victor Ashimo – ₦3,650,000
• Surajo Samson – ₦7,700,000
• Sikiru Lariyat – ₦6,650,000
• Yusuf Mustapha – ₦6,800,000
• Nasiru Mustapha – ₦6,500,000
• Adamu Mamman – ₦6,700,000
• Shehu Afeez – ₦9,500,000
• Musa Umar – ₦9,600,000
• Mohammed Baba – ₦8,900,000
• Victor Obafemi – ₦8,400,000
• Olushola Hakeem – ₦9,200,000
• Yahaya Ahmed – ₦7,600,000
• Tony Olaoluwa – ₦6,800,000
• Habib Sulaiman – ₦8,200,000
• Yakubu Hamid – ₦7,500,000
• Sunday Sylvester – ₦6,900,000
• Aminu Sani – ₦8,700,000
• Job Awe – ₦9,500,000
• Emmanuel Christopher – ₦6,600,000
• Abdulsalami Aliyu – ₦8,300,000
• Yunusa I. Isiyak – ₦7,000,000
• Sulaiman Alhassan – ₦7,300,000
• Yakubu Idris – ₦8,900,000
• Jami’u Sule – ₦8,100,000
• Ismaila Nasiru – ₦7,900,000
• Yusuf Usman – ₦8,500,000
• Obafemi Ajayi – ₦8,800,000
• Abdullahi Sani – ₦7,800,000

When asked if all the payments were made in cash, the witness replied:
“Yes, My lord.”
He further stated that the source of the funds used to service the loan was the Kogi State Government House Administration Account.

On count five, the witness testified that ₦170 million was used to acquire a property located on Marsin Street, Wuse Zone 4, Abuja, directly behind the residence of former Governor Yahaya Bello at No. 9 Benghazi Street.
“Our investigation revealed that the funds were withdrawn from the Kogi State Government House Administration Account. The transaction was brokered by the first defendant in conjunction with his late BDC associate, Murtala Maigari”, he said.

The property owner, a retired Deputy Comptroller of Prisons, Ishaya Adamu Jagaba, supplied an account into which ₦100 million was paid, while ₦70 million was converted to United States Dollars.”

On count six, Abubakar stated that the defendants aided the use of ₦100 million to acquire a property at No. 1773 Guzape Street, Abuja, with funds traced to the Kogi State Government House Administration Account through a Bureau de Change.

On count seven, he confirmed the acquisition of a property at No. 176, Plot 4882, Lome Street, Wuse, Abuja, also funded from the same government account.

On count eight, the witness told the court that ₦66 million was paid for a property at Plot 739 Aminu Kano Crescent, Wuse II, Abuja, using cash withdrawn from the Kogi State Government House Administration Account, stressing that the payment was not made on behalf of the Kogi State Government.

The witness had earlier testified on how hundreds of millions of naira were moved from the Kogi State Government House Administration Account and security votes to purchase properties and renovate the family house of former Governor Yahaya Adoza Bello.

Justice Omotosho thereafter adjourned the matter to February 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20, 2026, for continuation of trial.

Good job, Senate. That's what I advised Jega to do and that's exactly what he did when he was INEC Chairman. Electronic Transmission of Election Results in real-time must be backed up by Manual Transmission in order to prevent Constitutional Crisis. 

All these dumb lawyers like Agbakoba don't think. Making Electronic Transmission of Election Results mandatory without the option for Manual Transmission would create problems, if there is any network failure at any polling station which is bound to happen in Nigeria where network epilepsy occurs every dayand the courts would be filled with petitions that will never be resolved. Of course people like Agbakoba are only looking for money from politicians, who will hire him to resolve the crisis he helped create, because he loves money. This is why Nigeria needs to make it mandatory for lawyers to take Technology or Computer Science classes in Law School, in order to understand how Technology works. Today's Law needs understanding of Technology.

I hope the Reps do the same thing when the bill gets to the House of Representatives.

Ignorance is no excuse in Law.

Electoral Act: Senate approves e-transmission of results, allows manual backup

Daily Post 

The Senate has approved the electronic transmission of election results to the Independent National Electoral Commission’s Result Viewing Portal, while permitting manual collation to serve as a backup where technology fails.

The decision followed a reconsideration of a disputed clause in the Electoral Act Amendment Bill during an emergency plenary on Tuesday.

However, the upper chamber stopped short of making electronic transmission compulsory and also rejected the provision for real-time upload of results.

Under the reviewed section, presiding officers at polling units are to electronically transmit results to the IReV portal after voting and documentation are completed.

The amendment, however, provides that where electronic transmission cannot be carried out due to communication or network challenges, the manual result sheet, Form EC8A, will become the primary basis for collation and declaration.

While putting the motion to a voice vote, Senate President Godswill Akpabio urged senators who disagreed with the amendment to formally challenge it.

“It’s very simple. If you disagree with him, move your counter motion. So, if you agree with him, you agree with me when I put the votes,” Akpabio said.

He explained that the motion before the chamber sought to reverse an earlier Senate decision on Section 60, Subsection 3 of the Electoral Act.

“When I ask for the votes, when I ask for your consent, let me read the motion. His earlier motion, which passed in our last sitting, he has sought to rescind that. That is in respect of Section 60, Subsection 3. And this is what he said,” Akpabio stated.

Reading the amended clause, Akpabio said, “That the presiding officer shall electronically transmit the results from each polling unit to the IReV portal. And such transmission shall be done after the prescribed Form EC8A has been signed and stamped by the presiding officer and/or countersigned by the candidates or polling agents, where available at the polling units, because sometimes you don’t see any polling agent.”

The Senate President added that the law now accounts for situations where electronic transmission is impossible.

“Provided that if the electronic transmission of the results fails as a result of communication failure — in other words, maybe network or otherwise — and it becomes impossible to transmit the results electronically in Form EC8A signed and stamped by the presiding officer and/or countersigned by the candidates or polling agents where available at the polling units, the Form EC8A shall in such a case be the primary source of collation and declaration of results,” he said.

The amendment has sparked concerns among civil society organisations and opposition figures, who argue that allowing manual results to override electronically transmitted ones could weaken transparency and create room for manipulation, especially in areas with poor network coverage.

Your dear friend El-Rufai just set up himself for trouble with the SSS. He claimed he tapped Nuhu Ribadu's phone and listened on his calls about orchestrating his arrest, which is illegal and criminal under Nigeria's laws and Constitution. It's illegal to tap someone's phone and listen to their calls aka eavesdropping under Nigeria’s Criminal Code.

According to him:

 “He (Ribadu) made the call because we listened to their calls. The government thinks that they are the only ones that listen to calls. But we also have our ways.”

Kirikiri Phase II, here comes the criminal phone tapper and looter called El-Rufai.

This voteless dummy called Peter Obidiot shot himself in the ass. He left Labor Party he destroyed and factionalized to join ADC that is owned by Atiku and told Atiku he doesn't want to be VP. Now Atiku has collaborated with Makinde of Oyo to be his Vice Presidential candidate, leaving him stranded. The fool is now counting on people he jettisoned inside Labor Party and who are no longer supporting him, and confused Obidiots many of whom have deserted him, knowing he will not be president of Nigeria in 2027, because he doesn’t have a base and Atiku will be ADC presidential candidate. I wonder which votes he is counting on and who is counting, when he is destined to lose Presidency to Tinubu. When he loses to Tinubu in 2027 due to lack of political base and supporters, he will start blaming Tinubu who is working hard to keep his party members and supporters intact, while acquiring new members and supporters from other parties, and accusing him of rigging the election that he lost long time ago due to his incompetence, stupidity, lack of foresight and lack of political strategies.

What a nitwit!

El-rufai, whose critic Dadiyatta vanished in 2019, admits Kaduna sponsors thugs to kidnap, torture critics

El-rufai, whose critic Dadiyatta vanished in 2019, admits Kaduna govt sponsors thugs to kidnap, torture critics

El-rufai, whose critic Dadiyatta vanished in 2019, admits Kaduna govt sponsors thugs to kidnap, torture critics Mr El-rufai warned a follower against criticising his political protégé turned enemy, Uba Sani, to avoid suffering the same fate as others who were kidnapped.

Former governor of Kaduna, Nasir El-Rufai, under whose watch his critic Abubakar ‘Dadiyatta’ Idris, mysteriously vanished in 2019, on Tuesday confirmed the state runs a kidnapping team.

Mr El-rufai, in a cryptic message on X, warned one of his followers against criticising his political protégé turned enemy, Uba Sani, to avoid suffering the same fate as others who were kidnapped and tortured by state-sponsored thugs for criticising the state governor.

“Be careful, Imran @IU_Wakilii,” Mr El-rufai said, quoting the tweet berating his successor and warning that “the Kaduna kidnapping team (I will reveal this next week, in sha Allah) will either try implementing the Danbilki Commander (abduct, whip and then offer money) or the Bashir Saidu (abduct and imprison) treatment on you.”

The former governor warned critics of the Kaduna governor to “Please keep away from Kaduna and stay safe wherever you are.”

Mr El-rufai’s reference to how thugs supporting Mr Sani abducted and assaulted Abdul-Majeed Al Mustapha, commonly known as Dan-Bilki Komanda, for allegedly insulting the governor reveals state leaders’ involvement is increasing enforced disappearance.

The United Nations in 2023 said Nigerian authorities are not doing enough to curb enforced disappearance.

Mr El-rufai’s revelation of a state-sponsored kidnapping gang comes almost six years after his critic Dadiyatta mysteriously vanished and is yet to be found either dead or alive.

Amid trending #WhereisDadiyatta on X in December 2019, Bashir El-rufai, one of Mr El-rufai’s sons, dismissed Nigerians pushing the campaign as clowns, suggesting the former governor’s critic was suffering the consequences of his action.

“The same clowns who encouraged him when he was creating false stories and capitalising on lies that could endanger lives solely for political ends are the same individuals trending hashtags asking
#WhereisDadiyata. Dangerous lies in the public space have consequences,” Mr Bashir said.

Mr El-rufai’s Tuesday revelation has generated debate on social media as many now ask him, where is Dadiyatta?

An X user, @Famoyegun_S, said, “Was that what happened to Dadiyata? Short man devil.”

Another X user, @kingofmultigoal said, “Wahala. Was this done under your tenure, too, mallam? Nigeria is in big shit. The guys you vote in to serve now act like drug Lords. Kidnap your citizens. No wonder people are missing every day without traces.”

[Kayode Adebayo]

Hahaha! Look at this liar and clown called Peter Obidiot lying to himself, saying he heard that the government doesn't want him to contest. That's why he left Labor Party. Instead of telling Nigerians the truth, that he factionalized and destroyed Labor Party beyond redemption and his incompetence led him to ADC, because he had no other option after destroying the Labor Party. 

Unfortunately for him, he doesn't have a stake in ADC. ADC belongs temporarily to Atiku till the real owners resolve his membership in court. 

Atiku played on the intelligence of the dummy by inviting him to join ADC in order to boost his own status, knowing fully that once he joins ADC, he can do away with him as he will pose no more threat to his candidacy. The fool stupidly joined ADC and now left hanging. Atiku will defeat the fool during the primaries and he will start crying foul and try to jet out of ADC for another party. Unfortunately, he will be left with few options. Either to go back to Labor Party that he destroyed or join another damaged beyond redemption party like PDP or a party without base. The fool has already lost presidency before 2027.

What an idiot!

I will contest 2027 elections – Peter Obi assures Nigerians

Daily Post 

The 2023 elections presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi has assured his supporters of his readiness to contest in the 2027 elections.

He noted that he had in good authority that the federal government does not want him to contest, insisting that he will come out even if the elections are being held figuratively in their “bedroom.”

Speaking in Uyo at the OBIDIENT Conference and Official Declaration for ADC with the theme, Activating the PO Effect in ADC” on Saturday, Obi urged the people to join hands with him to rescue Nigeria for the future generations, who according to him will suffer the consequences of bad governance going on in the country for decades.

The former Anambra governor stated that the current administration have collected more loans than every other administration, adding that most of the loans will be repaid from 2045 and 2050 when most of the people who plunged the country into indebtedness must have gone.

On why he left the Labour Party, Obi said, ” Democracy must work, I left Labour party when I got informed that as long as I remain in the party, INEC will not recognize its leadership, that the federal government don’t want me on ballot paper, but I want to assure you that I will contest the coming election even if it holds in their bedroom and if they don’t want to transmit the results, we will transmit it for them.

According to him, Nigeria must get it right in 2027, election results must be transmitted online in real time and whoever fails to transmit results will be transmitted”

Obi, who assured that his administration will invest heavily in education and health if elected, averred that most of the great countries across the world achieved greatness through intentional investment in education, adding that he will do everything possible to pull people out of poverty to reduce criminality.

The presidential aspirant said he will tour the entire country and also all higher institutions to see the real challenges on ground, stressing that he wants to help fix Nigeria now that he has the strength to undertake any difficult task adding that those joining him to realize his ambition must understand that the priority is the future and wellbeing of the people.

He promised to rid Nigeria of corruption saying that the menace will be reduced by 60 percent once a leader and his family has nothing to do with corruption.

He added, ” When I became governor of Anambra State, I advised my wife to forget about the office of first lady because we were not elected together, I approved over 100 C of Os of government lands but have none for myself or family. If you find any, petition me to appropriate authority.

Also addressing the people, Dr Tanko Yunusa, the coordinator of OBIDIENT movement world-wide urged Nigerians to mobilize from every nook and cranny of the country for the 2027 general election.

He urged them to channel their collective energy into the African Democratic Congress as the vehicle for transformation and victory in 2027.

On his own, the Akwa Ibom State Coordinator of the OBIDIENT movement, Dr Ben Smith urged members to be united in pursuit of their goal as divisions or faction will derail the dream of a new Nigeria.

Breaking: FG files 3-count charge against ex-Gov El-Rufai

Vanguard 

The Federal Government has entered a three-count charge against the former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, alleging that he unlawfully intercepted the phone communication of the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu.

In the charge the FG lodged before the Federal High Court in Abuja, through the Department of State Services (DSS), the erstwhile governor, who also served as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) under the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, was said to have committed the crime with some persons who are currently on the run.

FG told the court that the defendant had, on February 3, when he appeared as a guest on Arise TV station’s Prime Time program, admitted his complicity in the crime.

He was accused of committing an offence under section 12(1) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) (Amendment) Act 2024.

In count-two of the charge, the former governor, who is a frontline member of a coalition of opposition politicians that are dissatisfied with President Bola Tinubu’s administration, was said to be aware that someone unlawfully intercepted the NSA’s communications, but failed to report the crime to the relevant security agencies.

It was further alleged that by using technical equipment to intercept the NSA’s calls, the defendants endangered public safety and national security, and instilled “reasonable apprehension” among Nigerians, an offence in breach of section 131(2) of the Nigerian Communications Act 2003.

Hundreds storm EFCC headquarters, demand El-Rufai’s prosecution

Punch

Hundreds of demonstrators stormed the headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in Abuja on Monday, demanding a thorough probe into the alleged N432 billion corruption case involving former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai.

The protesters, under the aegis of the Mega National Movement for Good Governance, converged on the anti-graft agency’s headquarters, chanting solidarity songs and wielding placards with inscriptions such as “Answer The Charges El-Rufai” and “El-Rufai Not Above The Law.”

In a dramatic turn, the group made spirited attempts to march into the commission’s premises but were stopped by stern-looking security operatives stationed at the entrance.

Addressing journalists at the scene, the group’s spokesman, Muhammad Abdullahi, insisted that the corruption allegations against the former governor must not be trivialised or politicised

He said, “We reiterate its firm position that the ongoing prosecution of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, remains a lawful and constitutional matter strictly between him and the Government of Kaduna State. This issue should not be reduced to a mere political drama or emotional manipulation.

“It is a question of accountability and stewardship of public trust. The Kaduna State House of Assembly Ad-Hoc Committee Report (2024) raised serious concerns regarding financial management, public debt profile, and contract procedures under the previous administration.

“It is also a matter of public record that some former appointees and close allies—including Jafaru Sani, Jimmy Lawal, Bashir Saidu, and Samuel Aruwa—are already in custody or undergoing investigation in connection with these allegations.”

Citing Section 15(5) of the Constitution, Abdullahi urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission to carry out a thorough, evidence-based and transparent investigation.

The protesters maintained that the issue was about lawful prosecution, not persecution, adding that El-Rufai should allow the judicial process to run its course in the interest of accountability and justice.

“If those who served in that administration are subjecting themselves to due process, it is only proper that the former governor does the same without politicising the process.

“In line with this constitutional provision, we call on the relevant anti-graft agencies—particularly the EFCC and the ICPC—to do the needful by diligently and transparently continuing their investigations in accordance with constitutional provisions and the rule of law. The process must be thorough, evidence-driven, and free from external interference.

“We emphasise that this is not about persecution; it is about prosecution grounded in law. The courtroom remains the proper venue for vindication. If El-Rufai is confident in his integrity, he should allow the judicial process to run its full course. Let integrity, not rhetoric, determine the outcome,” Abdullahi stated.

Responding, the EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, appealed for calm and assured the protesters that their petition would be forwarded to the appropriate authorities within the commission.

He said, “The EFCC recognises the right of Nigerians to lawful protest in respect of any issue they feel so concerned about. Your protest and demands will be communicated to the executive chairman accordingly.

“I want to assure you that the EFCC, as we know i,t will do its job professionally by attending to all the issues that you raised in your letter. I also want to encourage you to continue to be peaceful in the exercise of your right because that is what democracy is all about.

“As far as the EFCC is concerned, the right thing will be done. Our processes and procedures will be followed, and Nigerians will see that we have actually acquainted ourselves very well with this issue. All your grievances will be communicated to the appropriate quarters.”

The protest comes amid heightened political tension surrounding the alleged financial improprieties during El-Rufai’s eight-year tenure as governor of Kaduna State.

The former governor is currently facing a N432bn corruption probe after all 28 members of the Kaduna State House of Assembly unanimously endorsed a petition to the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission and the EFCC.

The demonstration also followed a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, who accused El-Rufai of portraying himself as a victim of political persecution to evade accountability.

In a post on his X handle on Monday morning, Onanuga said the former governor’s recent public outbursts were calculated attempts to create political tension and divert attention from corruption allegations in Kaduna State.

“One, to create political tension in the country, create an atmosphere of fear and unrest, and then damage the government through deliberate misinformation.

Two, to divert attention from his domestic problems in Kaduna State, where he is facing massive corruption allegations,” he said.

He added, “To draw attention to himself and project himself as a victim of persecution, he wants to nationalise his personal problems with his home state government, knowing that Nigerians will not be on his side over corruption charges.”

Similarly, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media, Temitope Ajayi, had earlier accused El-Rufai of playing political games and likened him to “a drowning man holding on to a straw” in a bid to remain politically relevant.

It's payback time. The criminal called El-Rufai operated a mafia style abduction and killing spree unit to abduct and eliminate several people in Kaduna State who criticized him during his 8 years dictatorship as governor of Kaduna State. 

The criminal will learn the hard way.

Survivors, Families Demand Justice Over Extrajudicial Killings, Abductions Under Ex-Governor El-Rufai In Kaduna

Sahara Reporters 

Kaduna Victims' Coalition, a coalition of survivors and families of victims of alleged abuses during the administration of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai, has demanded justice for victims of extrajudicial killings, forced disappearances, arbitrary abductions, reprisal violence, and other human rights abuses allegedly committed by the former governor between 2015 and 2023.

In a statement released on Monday, the Kaduna Victims’ Coalition, which said it represents “countless individuals, families and communities” who endured years of hardship, fear and loss under the former governor’s tenure, called for full accountability.

Among the cases highlighted is the abduction and killing of HRH Dr. Maiwada Raphael Galadima, the Agwam Adara, who was kidnapped in October 2018 and later murdered despite payment of ransom.

“His killing occurred amid efforts to restructure traditional institutions, including the controversial conversion of the chiefdom into an emirate structure, deepening ethnic and communal tensions,” the coalition said.

“Till date, the suspects arrested for the murder of Agwam Adara are yet to be successfully prosecuted, and their whereabouts cannot be ascertained.”

The group also referenced the disappearance of Abubakar Idris, widely known as Dadiyata, a lecturer at the Federal University Dutsenma and social media commentator.

The group also referenced the disappearance of Abubakar Idris, widely known as Dadiyata, a lecturer at the Federal University Dutsenma and social media commentator.

Idris was abducted from his residence in Barnawa, Kaduna, on August 2, 2019, and has not been seen since.

“He has remained missing, effectively disappeared for nearly seven years. August 2026 will mark the seventh anniversary of his abduction and trigger the statutory presumption of death under Nigerian law,” the coalition said.

The coalition further cited a December 23, 2019, social media post by Bashir el-Rufai, son of the former governor, which it described as dismissive of calls for Idris’ safe return.

The coalition accused the former administration of presiding over what it described as a pattern of indiscriminate actions, including persecution of critics, unlawful demolitions of homes, mass dismissals of workers without due process, forced sackings by employers of perceived opponents, and the displacement of citizens into exile.

“During his tenure, Nasir el-Rufai presided over a pattern of indiscriminate actions: arbitrary abductions, persecution of critics, reprisal violence, unlawful demolitions of homes, mass dismissals of workers without due process, forced sackings by employers of perceived opponents, and the displacement of citizens into exile,” the coalition said.

“These acts bypassed constitutional safeguards and Nigerian law, turning gubernatorial immunity into unchecked impunity.”

The coalition also expressed concern over recent attempts to portray El-Rufai as a champion of due process and human rights, “while survivors and families continue to seek truth and justice.”

The coalition demanded accountability under the rule of law, including independent investigations, prosecutions where evidence warrants, and closure for victims and their families.

“On behalf of ourselves, and in solemn memory of those killed or disappeared who cannot speak, we have a moral and civic duty to bear witness,” the coalition stated.

“Our sole demand is accountability under the rule of law: thorough, independent investigations; prosecutions where evidence warrants; and closure for traumatized victims and families.

“By pursuing justice, we aim to prevent future suffering and uphold the dignity of all Nigerians. We stand ready to cooperate fully with all relevant law enforcement agencies, judicial bodies, and human rights institutions in Nigeria.

“We will provide testimonies, evidence, and any material assistance to support inquiries and ensure those responsible for crimes face due process.”

El Rufai is just deflecting the scrutiny that is about to fall on him. The guy has constipated bad belle and he is a nasty piece of works.

First of thallium phosphate is not a toxin, it is a toxicant or a poisonous compound. Used as rat killer before wide control of it's use across the world.

I wouldn't be surprised if a wave of people start dropping from thallium phosphate poisoning in Nigeria.

El Rufai brought it up and should be held responsible for thallium phosphate related deaths in Nogeria, especially if he benefits from such death politically or legally.

10kg of thallium is a lot of deaths.

Another reason why thallium phosphate importation claim by El Rufai sound far-fetched and fishy is that thallium as a heavy metal and locally available in our electronics, glass industries etc. Why bother to import when you can chemically make it locally?

I'll say El Rufai is preparing an alibi for himself or just generally trying to set up the NSA.

El Rufai is a nasty nasty nasty nigger!

"I make bold to say that Sen Natasha Akpoti-Uduadgan is a topnotch senator of distinction by all considerations. And she is a happily married young lady"--- Same Line Pastor Called Emeka Okala 

Why are you always responding with the same line of answer every time Natasha Akpoti-Ijoko's issues come up. It looks rehearsed. You can't defend her another way, except with the same copy and paste answer above. You have used that same response line in these forums more than 1,000 times. Aren't you tired of the same line of answer every time? You're always making bold about your girlfriend Natasha Akpoti-Ijoko and calling her topnotch. Same paragraph every time.

She was attacking her fellow Senators, because they didn't give her committee membership and she went to the meeting of a committee she didn't belong and started assaulting the committee Chairman. Here in America, if you're a Senator or House member and you're not a committee member, you don't go to that committee meeting and start asking the committee Chairman why you're not a member of that committee. Committee appointment is a privilege, not a right. There are many members of Congress here in America that don't belong to any committee and they don't go to committee meetings they don't belong or go attack the committee Chairmen for not appointing them. She went to the North Central Committee she is not a member of with her camera team in tow, to attend their meeting and to attack the Committee Chairman for not appointing her to that committee. That's just uncivilized, unruly and outright stupid. She wants the whole world to see how she attacks her fellow Senators. That's why she has a camera team. Who else does that? She was sent to the Senate to represent her constituency, not to go and show off her new Kaboom Kaboom and her raggedy Brazilian Ass she bought in Brazil for $50,000 a piece, to her fellow Senators and accuse them of Sexual Assault afterwards.

Natasha Akpoti-Ijoko is a very classless woman. 

Only Pastor Emeka Okala!

PCO,

You have to agree that there must be something wrong with the woman.
Obviously, she is not the only woman in the Senate and probably not the most intelligent or productive.
How come she is always in trouble with everyone? Why do other people find her irksome?

Admit it, PCO, there is more that meets the eye with her. She must be a nasty piece of works! Or at least, graduating to become one!

Natasha may not be the most intelligent woman in the Senate, but I make bold to say that she is not only the most productive Senator amongst the women senators of her time, she is the MOST productive Senator of all the senators of her time - both women and men! And it clearly shows!

Comment:

Even Jesus Christ was always in trouble with the world (virtually everyone) for doing good. Jesus' Ministry on earth and His modus operandi was totally unorthodox  and made a nonsense of the status quo, for the good of humanity. 

Yours truly, Sen Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan's brilliant and enviable performance in the Senate is arguably unorthodox and has exposed in no small measure the deceit of virtually all senators - both serving and retired. The status quo has been ruffled, if not damaged by the monumental performance of this visionary and patriotic lady-Senator [Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan]. Any wonder her colleagues have found her level of performance and indeed modus operandi irksome?

May her tribe increase!!

I told Nigerians in these forums to be optimistic about Nigeria’s inflation, including food inflation, because I knew it was going to go down and down and I've been proven right. Inflation is now at an all time low of 15% from 38% and that's just the beginning. Nigerians haven't seen anything yet. By this time of next year, Nigerians will be swimming in the pool of food. With over 2,000 tractors imported by Tinubu and 600 of them have just been distributed to young farmers two days ago, while others are in preparation to be distributed, the sky is the limit for Nigeria.

Kudos to the hardworking Tinubu and his Economic team.

Nigeria’s food inflation drops to 14-year low

The report attributed the slowdown to reductions in the average prices of water yams, eggs, green peas, groundnut oil, soya beans, palm oil, and maize grains.

Daily Post 

Nigeria recorded single-digit food inflation of 8.89 per cent in January, after over a decade of high staple food prices, a report by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed.

The NBS inflation report showed that the drop in the food inflation rate is the lowest recorded in the last 14 years, when food inflation stood at 8.66 per cent in August 2011.

The report attributed the slowdown to reductions in the average prices of water yams, eggs, green peas, groundnut oil, soya beans, palm oil, and maize grains.

The Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise (CPPE), in a statement signed by its Chief Executive Officer, Muda Yusuf, on Monday, stated that while the recent drop in food prices is strengthening consumers’ purchasing power over the long term, it could undermine the sustainability of farmers’ incomes.

The report attributed the slowdown to reductions in the average prices of water yams, eggs, green peas, groundnut oil, soya beans, palm oil, and maize grains.

The Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise (CPPE), in a statement signed by its Chief Executive Officer, Muda Yusuf, on Monday, stated that while the recent drop in food prices is strengthening consumers’ purchasing power over the long term, it could undermine the sustainability of farmers’ incomes.

Mr Yusuf said the decline in headline inflation and food inflation suggests that price easing is extending beyond food into other segments of the consumption basket.

He noted that the shift is important for the macroeconomy, which will determine the monetary policy direction, agricultural sustainability, and private-sector investment strategy, adding that.

These indicators suggest the emergence of real disinflation rather than temporary price volatility,” Mr Yusuf said.

The CPPE boss further warned that sustained declines in food prices would weaken farm incomes, reduce farmers’ investment capacity, and weaken rural purchasing power.

The body also noted that the declines in food prices will also discourage agricultural production, potentially triggering future supply shortages and renewed inflationary pressure.

“There is a critical need to balance consumer affordability with producer sustainability to safeguard national food security,” he added.

The CPPE further explained that the inflation movement is also liable to create room for cautious and gradual monetary easing, which must be data-driven, as core, while 12-month average inflation remains elevated.

He advised the government to employ measures that protect farmers’ sustainable income, ensuring guaranteed prices for selected crops and expanding agro-processing capacity.

He noted that while reduced food prices reveal a gradual recovery in real household demand, sustained disinflation could support gradual interest-rate moderation and improved equity valuations. He added that this will favour long-term productive investment over short-term inflation hedging.

“January outcome is a meaningful transition toward macroeconomic stabilisation, consolidating the gains while protecting agricultural productivity and rural livelihoods would be critical to achieving durable stability and inclusive growth”.

Headline inflation

Also, in the NBS report, headline inflation edged down slightly to 15.10 per cent in January 2026 from 15.15 per cent in December 2025, 0.05 percentage points lower than the December figure.

In the urban index, year-on-year, the inflation rate dropped 15.36 per cent, from 29.45 per cent recorded in January 2025. In rural areas, it dropped to 14.44 per cent, from 25.04 per cent recorded in January 2025.

On a month-on-month basis, the headline inflation rate in January 2026 was -2.88 per cent, which was 3.42 per cent lower than the rate recorded in December 2025 (0.54 per cent).

The report also showed that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) declined to 127.4 points in January 2026, a 3.8-point decrease from the previous month (131.2 points).

“In January 2026, the headline inflation rate eased to 15.10 per cent, down from 15.15 per cent in December 2025. This means that in January 2026, the rate of increase in the average price level was lower than the rate of increase in the average price level in December 2025,” the report noted.
