  Justice Rabi Talatu Umar, Bauchi State Chief Judge, has released a total number of 33 inmates. Of the 33 inmates, 26 were released while seven others were released on bail. The inmates were released during the 2019 third and fourth quarter jail delivery exercise in the state. Briefing journalists at the end of the two-day exercise in Bauchi Medium Security Custodial Center, Justice Umar noted that, “Those released have spent over five years in custody without their cases being duplicated and transmitted to the State Ministry of Justice for legal advice.” The Chief Judge maintained that the undue delay had caused the inmates to remain in detention longer than necessary without conviction. She called on relevant stakeholders in the criminal justice system to be alive to their responsibilities. Justice Umar admonished the released inmates to turn a new leaf and live meaningful lives.  Legal News AddThis :  Original Author :  SaharaReporters, New Yo...

Fadumo Abiodun Paul Fadumo Abiodun Paul   The current generation of Nigerians is obviously progressing in the path threaded by our parents and the generation before us. That path led us to where we are today – i.e., penury, high level of illiterate citizens, religiosity without integrity and humanity, the highest level of corruption, a lawless country, and a teaming population of docile, uneducated youths. Today in Nigeria, we have in power an out-of-touch elitist ruling class always profiting from the commonwealth of Nigeria and its ruin. Today, I’d like to address the fairly educated Nigerians, who are probably feeling less concerned about the situation of flagrant disobedience of law in Nigeria by the police, DSS, the general abuse of power, plus the cluelessness demonstrated so far by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration. In the ’70 and 80s, when Nigerian Army had just started plummeting out resources, our and grandparents were aware but they did nothing...

The bureau also issued six safety recommendations for immediate implementation by the NCAA and all operators especially with regards Standard Operational Procedures. One of the reports was the serious incident involving Air Peace B737-300 aircraft with nationality and registration marks 5N-BUK at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos on...

  Some civil society groups including the Alliance of Nigerian Students against Neo-liberal Attacks, Take It Back Movement, and Save Climate and Democracy Naija Coalition, have called on the judiciary in Nigeria to take stringent measures regarding the continued illegal detention of activists Omoyele Sowore and Olawale Bakare. The two men are being held by the Department of State Services despite two court verdicts ordering their release after meeting their bail conditions. The civil society groups in an open letter to the Nigerian judiciary, said, “We are concerned about the vandalisation of the judiciary by the Department of State Services especially the refusal to release the duo of Omoyele Sowore and Olawale Bakare (Mandate), after Justice ljeoma Ojukwu of the Federal High Court, Abuja, signed the release warrant following the fulfilment of their ball conditions. “We are concerned that without earnest action by honourable members of the Body of Benchers against the ...

  Time and again, there are desperate calls not just by veterans but also by younger and discriminating practitioners about the compelling need to rescue journalism practice in Nigeria from obvious dereliction, continuous degenerative state of violation and steady slide into disrepute. If these calls are being heeded and efforts are indeed being made by stakeholders to arrest this worrying drift, nothing so far of significance by way of practice vindicates this claim. Sloppy journalism is still largely being served in the print and electronic media across the country. Worse of all, ethics, the soul of the profession, seems to have been thrown overboard with the way it is being treated as purely an incidental rather than an integral part of the trade. But the online medium, Premium Times, is set to turn things around. Alongside its NGO affiliate Premium Times Centre for Investigative Journalism, it is working to ensure that journalism in Nigeria receives a desirable facel...

Bayo Oluwasanmi Bayo Oluwasanmi   Nigeria’s Senate is one of fools, blockheads, Ignoramuses, and idiots. Yes, of course I know this description of Nigerian Senate by a Nigerian is offensive to some, maybe more than some people. Nonetheless, it is true. The Senate is made up of callous, indifferent, stupid fools, who keep silent in the face of tyranny while Nigerians are dying every day. What do you expect from a Senate of fools, blockheads, ignoramuses, and idiots whose membership is made up of 99.99 per cent thieves, crooks, and rogues than to waste our resources on a bill that will make hate crime punishable by death. The hate speech bill is resurrection of President Muhammadu Buhari’s ancient Decree 4. Buhari as military dictator was widely unpopular for his Decree 4. Decree 4 was a draconian piece of legislation that allowed Buhari and military leaders to imprison any journalist, who embarrassed them. The hate speech bill is a nebulous bill aimed at muzzling the pre...

Ahmad Lawan Speakers of state houses of assembly have asked President of the Nigerian Senate, Ahmed Lawan, to intervene on the implementation of financial autonomy for them as contained in the amended 1999 Constitution. The lawmakers, led by Speaker of Delta State House of Assembly, Sheriff Oborowheri, made the appeal during a visit to Lawan on Thursday. Responding to the appeal, Senator Lawan promised to intervene on the matter. He said, “The leadership of the National Assembly will intervene on the issue by interfacing with the governors. “On the issues of the financial autonomy, there is no need for an Executive Order because financial autonomy for state legislators is a constitutional provision which supersedes an Executive Order.”  Finance Politics News AddThis :  Original Author :  SaharaReporters, New York Disable advertisements :  from All Content via

The Federal Road Safety Corps in Ondo State has warned its officers manning federal highways against taking bribes from traffic offenders. Commander of FRSC in the state, Rotimi Adeleye, sounded the note of warning to the officers on Thursday while speaking with journalists in Akure, the state capital. According to Adeleye, any officer demanding bribe from traffic offenders was asking for 'blood money'. He said, “In terms of taking bribe or compromising, I always tell our officers that any money taken on the highway is ‘blood money’. “Taking money from someone that is speeding means that you are giving them liberty to cause accident.” Speaking further, Adeleye urged vehicle owners to adhere to driving rules so as to avoid road crashes especially at this time of the year when the festive season was fast approaching.

It operates Airbus KC-30A Multi Role Tanker Transports from RAAF Base Amberley, Queensland.

The unit was re-established in February 1981 as a flight, and re-formed as a full squadron in July 1983. By 1988 it was operating six Boeing 707s, four of which were later converted for aerial refuelling (pictured). The 707s saw active service during operations in Namibia, Somalia, the Persian Gulf, and Afghanistan. No. 33 Squadron relocated to Amberley, and in June 2011 began re-equipping with KC-30As. One of its aircraft has been deployed to the Middle East since September 2014, as part o...
