Appeal Court Judgment: Malami Dashes Nnamdi Kani, Supporters' Jubilation, Reveals Next Plan Against

Appeal Court Judgment: Malami has dashed Nnamdi Kani and his supporters’ jubilation and revealed the next plan against him.

News ToGo reports that Nnamdi Kanu was discharged by the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja yesterday. That judgment led to jubilation in Kanu’s camp as he and his supporters rejoiced over his release.

However, the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has countered the jubilation of Kanu and his supporters as he explained that Kanu was only discharged and not acquitted.

Malami made this clarification on Thursday in his first reaction to the Court of Appeal judgment that quashed the terrorism charges against Kanu on grounds of his unlawful abduction from Kenya to Nigeria.

A statement from Malami’s office read, “The Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice has received the news of the decision of the Court of Appeal concerning the trial of Nnamdi Kanu. For the avoidance of doubt and by the verdict of the court, Kanu was only discharged and not acquitted. Consequently, the appropriate legal options before the authorities will be exploited and communicated accordingly to the public.

“The decision handed down by the court of appeal was on a single issue that borders on rendition. Let it be made clear to the general public that other issues that predate rendition on the basis of which Kanu jumped bail remain valid issues for judicial determination.

“The Federal Government will consider all available options open to us on the judgment on rendition while pursuing determination of pre-rendition issues. Malami’s Special Assistant on Media and Public Relations, Dr. Umar Jibrilu Gwandu made this disclosure in a statement he released.

It is clear that the Federal Government has not given up in its bid to still try Kanu. As Malami said, there are other charges against the IPOB Leader that the government wishes to follow up on.

Moreover, the Supreme Court has not delivered a judgment on the issue. Malami intends to follow the case till the end. It is not clear if Malami will succeed or if Kanu will still be declared not guilty.

BREAKING: Tinubu's Minister Who Collapsed During Screening Reveals Why

Tinubu’s Minister who collapsed during Senate screening has revealed why it happened.

News ToGo reports that Abbas Balarabe, the newly confirmed Minister from Kaduna State, has clarified the reason behind his collapse during his Senate screening. He explained that his fainting spell was due to sheer exhaustion as he had been informed of his nomination just the previous day and stayed awake all night preparing for the screening.

Overwhelmed by the workload and lack of rest, he slumped during the session. He expressed his gratitude to the Senate, especially the senators from his state, Kaduna, for their understanding and support. Balarabe assured everyone that he was now in good health, emphasizing that his collapse was solely due to exhaustion and nothing more.

Earlier during his screening, the nominee, who had replaced former Kaduna state governor Nasir El-Rufai, had suddenly collapsed, causing a temporary commotion in the Senate.

BREAKING: CSU Finally Releases Tinubu's Record, Gender Reads Female

CSU has finally released Tinubu’s records.

News ToGo learned that Chicago State University (CSU) has complied with a court order to release the academic records of President Bola Tinubu, as requested by Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the recent elections.

Following a directive from the US district court for the northern district of Illinois over the weekend, CSU provided the requested academic records.

TheCable reports that the university confirmed that the format of the certificate in question matched Tinubu’s replacement dated June 27, 1997. However, the gender raises doubt. This is because Tinubu filled ”Male” and the university in the new document addressed him as ”Mr”, but some transcripts reportedly show ”F” which suggests ”Female”. This raises doubt in the issue.

However, Atiku and his legal team are following up on the issue after alleging serious discrepancies in Tinubu’s academic records. They also claim that those inconsistencies will help them prove that he was not fit to contest for President of Nigeria.

Recall that Tinubu made serious effort to block the release of his records but the US courts ruled in Atiku’s favour. Atiku and his legal team will now go ahead to prove their case concerning the inconsistencies they discovered.
