Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu of the Federal High Court in Abuja has granted Omoyele Sowore bail after two months in custody of the Department of State Services (DSS). Sowore, a former presidential candidate, was arrested by the DSS on August 3, 2019, for calling for nationwide protests, tagged RevolutionNow, against the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government.

BREAKING: Tribunal Affirms Ihedioha’s Election As Imo Governor The Imo State Election Tribunal has affirmed the election of Emeka Ihedioha as governor of the state. The chairman of the tribunal, Justice Umar Dogondaji, in his ruling on Saturday, dismissed the petition of Senator Hope Uzodinma because he did not discharge the burden of proof of the allegation that his results were excluded from the final results of the election. He also dismissed the petition of the All Progressives Grand Alliance and its governorship candidate Senator Ifeanyi Arareume for lacking in merit as well as that of the candidate of the Action Alliance Party, Mr. Uche Nwosu, for incompetence. The witnesses were discredited under cross-examination. They all confirmed that there was no signature of the presiding officers on the documents they tendered as the results of the election in the various units in the state.

Daily Trust reports that Alhassan popularly known as Mama Taraba made this revelation during a stakeholders meeting of her former party, United Democratic party (UDP), Mama Taraba was a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress while she served as minister under the Muhammadu Buhari administration. At the stakeholder’s meeting, it was disclosed that an opinion poll of the UDP conducted after the 2019 general elections indicated that members of the party from 168 wards in 16 local government areas of the state agreed to decamp to PDP. She said she had no choice but to accept the decision of the party and join the PDP. While serving as minister, Alhassan caused a stir when she was caught on video saying she would support Atiku Abubakar presidential candidacy. Meanwhile, Buhari said it would have been traumatic if he had lost the tribunal. The tribunal had dismissed the petition filed by Atiku of the PDP on Wednesday, September 11.

For asking Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to apologize to Nigerians rather than appeal his loss at the election tribunal, Lai Mohammed, Information Minister, has been told that he’s smoking weed. Mr Abubakar lost his case at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) where he challenged the outcome of the election that ushered in President Muhammadu Buhari into his second and final term as a democratic leader. In delivering judgement Wednesday, the tribunal struck out the entire petition of the former vice president for failing to prove beyond reasonable doubt why the PDP candidate and his party should be declared winner of the February 23 exercise. Reacting to the decision of the PEPT, Mr Mohammed urged the PDP candidate, popularly known as Atiku, to apologize to Nigerians and shelve reported plans to challenge the decision of the tribunal at the highest court in the land. Although he is yet to react to the judgemen

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has explained that he congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari after the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal confirmed his election because it is better to offer public congratulations than visit the President at night. Governor Wike said that unlike some Governors of the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) who visit President Muhammadu Buhari at night, he made his declaration public because it came from the heart. He spoke at the Funeral Service in honour of Late Madam Blessing Awuse, Mother of Onha Sergent Chidi Awuse, at the St Luke's Anglican Church, Emohua on Thursday. He said: " I am sure all of you are surprised that I congratulated Buhari. Is it not good for me to congratulate him, than to go to his house in the night?" "So many PDP Govenrors go to see him in his house in the night. I have never gone and I will not go. I won't go." "We are the only state that the Federal Government refused t

Florentino Perez spoke at Real Madrid's General Assembly on Wednesday and spoke about signings including their attempts to sign Robert Lewandowski and Paul Pogba, departures and LaLiga television rights. "We went for Lewandowski in different years and they wouldn't sell," he said. "It was the same situation with Pogba." When asked about Kylian Mbappé, Florentino admitted that "obviously we like a French player and we will go for him but they won't sell him to us." On last season, Perez says "you have to be self-critical but also put value in everything that has been won. We won four Champions League." Madrid's president also has an issue with LaLiga trying to grapple control of their rights off them and balance the playing field. "They are trying to collectivize rights that belong to us. This kind of thing wouldn't even happen in Russia." Women's football at Real Madrid "Many members and fans wit

In January of 2010, Roger Federer had 16 grand slams to his name and Rafael Nadal had six. Now, though, Federer is feeling the breath of Nadal behind him as that gap reduced to one this Sunday with the Spaniard's US Open victory over Daniil Medvedev. Only one title separates the two tennis greats after Nadal's fourth American major took him onto 19 grand slams, while Novak Djokovic is a little further behind with 16. The beginning of next season is exciting and the mid-January Australian Open will bring the story back into the limelight. It'll be the first time that the Spaniard will have had the chance to level with the Swiss, but Djokovic has warned that he wants to be in the conversation too. For now, though, it's Nadal and Federer at the top of the game. "I don't know if I'm going to win another one at 38," Federer said after falling out of this year's US Open. "I don't have a crystal ball."

It seemed that Rafael Nadal was cruising to victory in the 2019 US Open final against Daniil Medvedev, but the Russian came back from two sets down to force a fifth set and that's when the world number two eventually got the job done. Nadal won the match in New York 7-5, 6-3, 5-7, 4-6, 6-4, a contest that lasted four hours and 48 minutes. It was an incredible match, with Medvedev doing a brilliant job to stay in it after Nadal won a tight first set and a more comfortable second set. The Spaniard even led 3-1 in the third, but Medvedev was able to keep firing and he embarked on a run that took Nadal some time to stop. Nadal broke his opponent in a 28-shot rally to go 3-2 up in the decisive set, but the drama wasn't done there. They each lost their serve once more, before Nadal served for his fourth US Open championship - and eventually sealed the deal.

Robert Mugabe, who led Zimbabwe with an iron fist from 1980 to 2017, has died aged 95, the country’s president announced Friday. First heralded as a liberator who rid the former British colony of Rhodesia of white minority rule, Mugabe used repression and fear to hold on to power in Zimbabwe until he was finally ousted by his previously loyal military generals. “It is with the utmost sadness that I announce the passing on of Zimbabwe’s founding father and former President… Robert Mugabe,” Emmerson Mnangagwa said in a tweet. “Mugabe was an icon of liberation, a pan-Africanist who dedicated his life to the emancipation and empowerment of his people. His contribution to the history of our nation and continent will never be forgotten.” Mugabe had been battling ill health, and his humiliating fall from office in November 2017, his stamina seeped away rapidly. He was hospitalised in Singapore for months for an undisclosed ailment, Mnangagwa had confirmed earlier this year. No

The Neymar saga is nearing its conclusion and the player isn't going to enjoy the happy ending he wanted.

According to L'Equipe, Neymar has already told his family that he'll be staying in the French capital. His entourage has reportedly informed both the clubs involved that he's ready to continue at PSG.

Dutch central defender Virgil van Dijk has been chosen as the best player in Europe for the 2018/19 season, beating Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The Liverpool man won the Champions League with the Reds, just as Luka Modric won the title with Real Madrid  before being given the award a year ago.

Despite the recent developments in negotiations between PSG and Barcelona, Neymar Jr is still a long way from a return to the Catalan club. New deal on the table Barcelona were optimistic on Tuesday that a deal would be reached after tabling an offer including Rakitic and Dembélé in a deal worth 150 million euros paid in installments. However, according to RMC Sports, PSG have rejected the offer, despite reports to the contrary in L'Équipe that PSG have not yet given an answer. PSG's demands Moreover, PSG's stance in negotiations remains the same: either Barça accept their demands or the Brazilian will play in Paris over the coming season. PSG want a one-off €170m-euro payment which would also have to include players from the Barça squad. In addition to having to meet these demands, Los Culés must convince Ousmane Dembélé to go on loan to PSG given that the French forward has openly said he wants to stay in Barcelona.

Neymar's future is in the hands of Ousmane Dembelé and the Emir of Qatar, Tamim ben Hamad Al Thani - the two men who can unblock the Brazilian's move back to Barcelona or leave him stuck for another season at PSG. Barcelona and PSG remain in touch According to reports in L'Equipe, Barcelona and PSG continue in conversations at a distance after yesterday's meeting in Paris, where the two sides laid out their positions and tried to reach a mutually satisfying understanding. The player has been valued at 170 million euros, a figure that is accepted by both parties - the problem now is to reach an agreement over how Barcelona cover that amount. And that led to two separate conversations once the meeting in Paris broke up. PSG's sporting director Leonardo got in touch with the Emir Al Thani, the man who has the last word on the deal for PSG. Meanwhile the Barcelona delegation, led by club manager Oscar Grau, returned to Barcelona with the aim of convincing D

The Federal High Court in Abuja has turned down the motioned filed by Omoyele Sowore who happens to be the convenor of #RevolutionNow, disputing his 45 days detention by the Department of State Security (DSS). Justice Nkeonye Maya forwarded the case back to Justice Taiwo for further hearing on Wednesday after denying all the applications. Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, filed the applications on behalf of his client, Mr Sowore. Falana, who had asked the court to set aside the ex-parte order granted by Justice Taiwo, also applied for bail orally when Justice Maha rejected the earlier application. Sowore has been in the custody of the DSS since August 2. Justice Taiwo had on August 8 ordered his detention for 45 days at the instance of the DSS to enable the secret police carry out and conclude its investigation on allegations levied against him.

Nobel Laureate, Professors Wole Soyinka, has warned the Federal Government and security agencies, to stop trying to silence Nigerians. Soyinka stated this, while speaking in Badagry on Saturday, at the unveiling of an art gallery in commemoration of his 85th birthday.

The programme tagged ‘Democracy, state repression and the state of insecurity in Nigeria’, was organised by Coalition for Revolution (CORE). But, speaking on Saturday, Soyinka said, “It is important to send strong message to this government and to the security services to stop trying to muzzle people when they come together to exchange ideas. “You’re reducing them as human beings and you’re also reducing yourselves as human beings, because it means you’re afraid to l

Suspected kidnap kingpin, Alhaji Hamisu Bala, popularly known as Wadume, has opened a can of worms about his real personality, profession and alleged involvement in the Nigerian politics, particularly in the buildup to the 2019 elections. In an interview published by Vanguard on Saturday, August 24, Wadume denied being a kidnapper. He, however, admitted that he has supplied arms to many kidnappers. Wadume added that he is a political thug and a fish farmer. “I am not a kidnapper, but I have sold arms to several kidnappers. I am a fisher farmer, I own fish ponds, I own a transport business. I am equally a political thug. I went into crime when some politicians came for me, they approached me through one Babangida Musa, who was also into fishing business," he said.

Negotiations are underway in Paris as Real Madrid's representatives have travelled to France in order to speak with Paris Saint-Germain about Neymar. Los Blancos are optimistic, without having given much away about the talks. Barcelona have been trying for a number of weeks to find an offer that satisfies PSG, but they're yet to find anything that comes close. Madrid, meanwhile, have been waiting until the last few days to make their move. Madrid are convinced that they'll find PSG willing to sell to them, due to their poor relationship with the Catalans and Neymar's public desire to leave. But those at Barcelona expect another gesture from Neymar, this time to make his preference towards a Camp Nou move clear, but the Brazilian doesn't want to jeopardise his departure and just wants out of the Parc des Princes. With just 11 days of the window remaining, no significant progress has been made yet, meaning that things will need to pick up pace soon. Pla

Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State South-east governors have issued a stern warning to Nnamdi Kanu, self-exiled leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra  (IPOB), over his threats to attack them and other South-east leaders who travel abroad. The governors, in a statement issued Tuesday night, said should Mr Kanu make his threat real, they would ensure his repatriation back to Nigeria “to face the wrath of the people”. The statement was signed by the governor’s chairman and Governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi. Ex-deputy senate president, Ike Ekweremmadu, was at the weekend assaulted in Nuremberg Germany where he was invited as a keynote speaker at the occasion of the annual new yam festival and convention of Ndigbo in Germany.

In a viral video which emerged online earlier today, some group of SARS officials were seen with two guys who are into robbing people through Jiji. The SARS officials already arrested them and handcuffed them after collecting their guns. One would have thought the men of SARS will make the suspected fraudsters face the wrath of law. Surprisingly, the SARS officials took laws into their hands and killed the two suspected robbers on the spot.

The State Security Services (SSS) has challenged the Federal High Court order, allowing it to detain Omoyele Sowore, Convener, #RevolutionNow protests, for 45 days against its request of 90 days pending investigation. The SSS argued that its investigation so far revealed that “RevolutionNow” was allegedly a smokescreen for the actual intention of Mr Sowore and his allies “to topple the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.” The DSS said it was engaged in a painstaking investigation of activities of Mr Sowore, the candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in the last presidential election, in view of the quantum of evidence so far gathered and may return to court to seek an extension of the 45 days granted by the Abuja-based court to detain him. The security agency made this known in a fresh document it filed at the Federal High Court on Monday in response to an application by Mr Sowore. In the counter-affidavit deposed to by Godwin Agbadua, an official of the S
