Buhari orders probe into Rivers National Assembly Elections Petitions Tribunal. Following the petition to President Buhari by the Peoples Democratic Party over alleged bribery of some tribunal judges, the President has ordered an immediate investigation into the activities of the tribunal. President Buhari who spoke on Christmas eve, said " I received a petition with recorded telephone conversations from the PDP, over an alleged bribery of the judges. And I have directed the President of the Court of Appeal and the Attorney General to look into the issues raised by the PDP.

This is what we criticized in the previous administrations, so we can't be the ones manipulating the judiciary now. I know what I have suffered in election tribunals in the past. Now, I hear one court is sayin...

Following the examples of Presidents Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe, we at the Precinct are interested in exploring knowledge and ideas no matter where they may be found or who may promote them. In the words of Thomas Jefferson “For here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it”.

The minister said this on Wednesday, December 23, during his maiden meeting with editorial heads of media houses in Lagos. "Today, I can report that the war against Boko Haram is largely won.

Justice Ahmed Mohammed of the Federal High Court Abuja has excused himself from hearing the treason charges filed against Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra by the Federal Government. Justice Mohammed's decision comes after Nnamdi Kanu this morning objected to the judge hearing the six count charge filed against him by the Federal government. Kanu during court hearing argued that the hearing will be an exercise in futility as officials of the Department of State Security will not obey any order in his favor. “Thank you very much my lordship, but my objection is that I will not receive a fair trial before this court. The information I got is that I will not receive a fair trial before this court. I will not sacrifice the due process of law because of speedy court process over the principle of natural process on the altar of speedy release. In other words, I would rather remain in detention than subject myself to a trial that I know amounts to perversion o...
