FROM AMOTEKUN TO EBUBE AGU: WHY SOUTHERNERS TURNED TO LEOPARDS FOR THEIR SECURITY

DANGOTE VS BUA: “SUGAR DADDIES” FIGHT FOR SUGAR

It is important that the NSDC looks into the issues... No entity should be permitted to undermine the National Sugar Master Plan in any way...The claims should not be brushed aside. It may appear to be a battle between Nigeria’s “Sugar Daddies” but the interest of the nation remains paramount.

COURT OF APPEAL RECOMMENDS THAT MONEY RITUALISTS SHOULD BE MADE TO PROVE THEIR INNOCENCE

Contrary to the current position of the law which states that an accused person is innocent until proven guilty, the Court of Appeal now recommends that persons accused of ritual killings should be made to prove their innocence... The recommendation appears to be more emotionally motivated than by reason.

SUPREME COURT FAULTS THE DISMISSAL OF A UNIJOS STAFF FIRED FOR ALLEGEDLY EXTORTING NEW STUDENTS: LESSONS

Eze was heard by a Disciplinary Committee. Yet, he challenged his dismissal in court on the ground of lack of fair hearing. His case was dismissed by the trial Court and the Court of Appeal. He further appealed to the Supreme Court. His appeal was allowed. The Supreme Court set aside the decisions of the lower courts and held that Eze’s dismissal was a nullity. Why?

CBN MOVED TO STOP A SUIT AGAINST IT FOR “INJURIOUS” FOREX POLICY BUT THE COURT OF APPEAL STOOD IN THE WAY

In 2016, the CBN devalued the Naira, pegging N280 to USD1. This was after it had approved USD for an oil company (Stallionaire) at the rate of N197 to USD1. Stallionaire sued on the basis that CBN acted in bad faith. CBN objected to the suit on the ground that it acted in good faith in line with S. 52(1) of the CBN Act. The Court of Appeal was called upon to determine whether the objection was valid.
