"My wife does not have vaginal opening," man tells court

Wednesday, April 29, 2015

A Customary Court sitting in Ake, Abeokuta has dissolved a three-year-old marriage between Mr Femi Olayiwole and wife, Kemi, due to the absence of vagina, deceit and frequent fighting.

Olayiwole told the court that his wife deceived him to marry her knowing that she could not bear him a child.

He accused his wife, who had failed to appear in court after being summoned several times, of living a false life, frequent fighting and threatening his life, Vanguard reports.

“My wife had been deceiving me since we got married I have never seen her pass through menstruation. My wife does not have any vagina opening.

Anytime I ask her for sex, she would give an excuse to back up her refusal. Meanwhile, we have been praying to God to give us children.

My wife did not tell me anything about her condition before we got married, until February this year that she confessed to me that she had never experienced menstruation in her life.

I thought she was lying, so I went to see her parents who told me it was true, and that they thought their daughter explained to me before we got married,” Olayiwole told the court.

He pleaded with the court’s president to dissolve his three-year-old marriage which has nothing to show for both now and in future.

"Lawyers must go for English language lessons" - Acting Chief Judge

Acting Chief Judge of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court, Justice Ishaq Bello has advocated for continuous education for lawyers, particularly in the use of English language.

Bello stated this on Wednesday in Abuja at the launch of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) stamp and affinity products.

The Acting Chief Judge said that it was becoming rather irritating for lawyers to appear before a judge and continuously mix up their tenses in trying to present their cases.

He observed that the declining standard of lawyers could be noticed in the quality of legal practice, where a lawyer stands from the bar saying “I didn’t did it” or “I saw them passes”.

He urged the leadership of the NBA to do more to further encourage the continued education of lawyers, saying the trend was becoming quite irritating.

“All lawyers must go through what is called Language Usage Course (LUC); all lawyers must be exposed to the dynamics of global evolving legal landscape,” he said.

Court okays release of 'My Watch' by Olusegun Obasanjo

Thursday, April 16, 2015

A Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Apo, Abuja, has okayed the release of My Watch by former President ObasanjoObasanjo’s. 

Justice Valentine Ashi ordered ‎on the release of the book, which had been in the custody of the Nigerian Customs Service following an injunction he slammed late last year following a complaint by a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Buruji Kashamu.

However, the judge set aside the order of injunction on Monday upon an application by Obasanjo’s lawyer, Chief Kanu Agabi (SAN). ‎In doing so, the court barred the Nigerian Customs Service from collecting demurrage on the books for the period they had been in its custody.

Vanguard reports that the court upheld Agabi’s argument that the applicant, a Peoples Democratic Party chief in Ogun State, Buruji Kashamu, who is currently pursuing a N20bn libel suit against Obasanjo in the same court, suppressed vital facts to obtain the order.

Kashamu‎, had on December 10, 2014, obtained the injunction from the court through an ex parte application which he filed in his N20bn libel suit against Obasanjo.

Kashamu had predicated his prayer on the argument that part of the book related to the subject matter of the libel suit – a letter dated December 2, 2013 written by Obasanjo to President Goodluck Jonathan.

Kashamu had instituted the libel suit against Obasanjo having been dissatisfied with his being described by the former President in the letter which was widely published in the electronic and print media as a fugitive wanted for drug offences in the United States of America.

On December 8, 2014, Justice Ashi granted an ex parte application restraining Obasanjo from publishing the book pending the determination of the libel suit. But Obasanjo went ahead to present the book to the public in Lagos, an act which the court held on December 10, 2014, as contemptuous.

Following the development the court ordered security and law enforcement agencies including ‎customs to confiscate the book anywhere it was found.

‎The judge in his ruling on Obasanjo’s application on Monday upheld Agabi’s argument that the order of injunction was wrongly made. Agabi had maintained that the court made the order w‎ithout jurisdiction.

He said:

 “The single ground of this application is that, in a case of libel, an interlocutory injunction does not lie to restrain publication in the face of a defendant pleading justification. 

“The defendant (Obasanjo) is pleading justification. In paragraph 24 of our counter-affidavit, the defendant said his claim about the plaintiff is correct, true and justified from records available in the federal court of the United States.”

He said the court had “issued without jurisdiction” adding, “the moment an interlocutory is granted, the issue is prejudiced, fair hearing is prejudiced.”

He also argued that the court could only validly bar publication in a libel suit after the case of libel was proven against the defendant.‎

The case has been adjourned to May 25.

Diezani Alison-Madueke gags media houses over missing $20 billion

Wednesday, March 18, 2015

The Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke has sued 11 organizations and individuals over the missing $20billion oil funds.

She filed the suit before the Federal High Court in Abuja to restrain members of the media from linking her with the missing money.

It will be recalled that the former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi reported that $20billion was  missing from the coffers of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

The defendants in the case are the All Progressives Congress (APC), Vanguard Media Limited and its editor, Mideno Bayagbon, Leadership Newspapers Group Limited and its editor Ekele Peter Agbo, Premium Times Services Limited and its editor in chief, Dapo Olorunyomi, and Vintage Press Limited and its editor, Lekan Otufodunrin.

Also joined in the application were the National Broadcasting Corporation and the Nigerian Press Council.

The minister’s lawyer, Godwin Obla obtained an interim injunction from the court restraining the defendants from “publishing or causing to be published any further defamatory statements” stating or suggesting that the minister “stole, misappropriate or colluded in the stealing of $20billion crude oil revenue”.

Court orders AIT and NTA to stop damaging documentary on Osinbajo

Thursday, March 12, 2015

The Federal High Court in Lagos has restrained Daar Communications Plc (AIT) from broadcasting any video documentaries against All Progressives Congress (APC) Vice-Presidential candidate Prof Yemi Osinbajo.

Justice James Tsoho, who made the order on Wednesday, also ordered the Nigerian Television Authority and any other broadcast station under the control of the Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria, to stop airing similar videos forthwith.

The judge made the order in positive answer to the ex parte application brought before him by Osinbajo through his lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), to the effect.

The professor of Law and Senior Advocate of Nigeria had complained to the court that the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, having adjudged him a threat, sponsored the documentaries to cause him disaffection in the eye of the public.

AIT and NTA had, for weeks running, aired a documentary detailing the “atrocious” past of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.). AIT also had a similar documentary on a national leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, chronicling his series of alleged financial misconduct.

Osinbajo maintained that the said documentaries, which allegedly contained untrue information and injurious falsehoods, constitute a personal attack on his person.

He argued that the videos were being aired in violation of his fundamental human right to dignity of human person, right to privacy and family virtue and right to life and/or livelihood, as protected by sections 33, 34 and 37 of the 1999 Constitution.

He had therefore prayed Tsoho for an order of interim injunction, restraining AIT, NTA and any other broadcast stations under the control of Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria from further disseminating or broadcasting the damaging videos.

He said:

 “Unless the respondents are restrained in the manner requested in this application, damages will be grossly inadequate to compensate or redress the unquantifiable, unwarranted and malicious damage to the applicant’s right to dignity of human person, right to livelihood and privacy guaranteed and protected under sections 33, 34 and 37 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

After listening to submission by Falana, Tsoho ordered that NTA, AIT and any other broadcast station under the control of BON should forthwith stop the broadcast of the damaging documentaries which the applicant complained of until the determination of the substantive suit.

"I hate violence" - Patience Jonathan

Tuesday, March 10, 2015

The wife of the President, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, on Monday told the presidential campaign organisation of the All Progressives Congress that she is “a woman of peace that can never be identified with electoral violence”.

She said there was no way somebody like her who occupies the exalted office of the President of the African First Ladies Mission would be promoting violence under any guise.

Mrs. Jonathan who spoke with THE PUNCH through her media aide, Ayo Adewuyi, was reacting to the decision of the APC to report her to the International Criminal Court for allegedly asking
supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party to stone anyone canvassing for change, the APC slogan, during a campaign rally in Calabar, Cross River State.

Adewuyi said, “The only thing we can say from here is that Dame Patience Jonathan is a woman of peace that can never in any way be identified with violence before, during and after elections.

“You do not expect somebody who is the President of African First Ladies to be promoting violence.”

When asked whether the President’s wife would be ready to answer any inquiry from the ICC on the matter, Adewuyi simply said:

 “They are just notifying. The case is not yet in ICC. They are entitled to their opinions and actions. We are not going to be dragged into any argument with them.”

DEFAMATORY STATEMENT: Apologise within 7 days or meet me in court, Osinbajo tells Fani-Kayode

Tuesday, March 03, 2015

The Vice Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Professor Yemi Osinbajo has threatened to drag the Director of Media and Publicity of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organization, Femi Fani-Kayode to court for daring to say he took an oath with former Lagos State Governor and one of APC’s national leaders, Bola Ahmed Tinubu to vacate the Vice Presidential office for him after six months if APC wins the forthcoming presidential elections.

Speaking through his lawyer, Femi Falana, in a letter dated February 28, Mr. Osinbajo demanded the sum of N2 billion as damages. He also demanded an immediate retraction of the “offensive and derogatory” publication and an apology on four Television channels and national newspapers.

“Be advised that if we do not receive your formal retraction and apology and damages as demanded within seven days of receipt hereof, we shall proceed with our client’s instructions to seek appropriate legal remedies for your publication and dissemination of defamatory statements,” Femi Falana, said.

He continued, “The direct meaning, imputation, purport and/or innuendo or insinuation of the false, misleading and defamatory statements is that: ‘Professor Osinbajo is deceitful. Essentially, you alleged that his motivation and pledge to serve as Vice President of Nigeria is inconsistent with his avowed desire to serve this nation with General Buhari, and work assiduously to deliver the benefits of his commitment, party and personal promises to the people.’

“Your characterization of Professor Osinbajo as a ‘stooge’ in context suggests that he is complicit in a fraud against the Nigerian people.”

“It is clear that the entire publication was a vicious, wicked and reckless ploy to impugn the reputation of our client and lower him in the estimation of right thinking members of the public.

MASSOB launches Biafran currency, vehicle number plates, drivers license in Owerri

Saturday, February 28, 2015

The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has launched new Biafran currency, number plates for vehicles and drivers’ license for the people of the South East zone.

MASSOB leader, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, who spoke through the organisation’s Information Coordinator for Onitsha, Mr. Charles Igbokwe, said the new Biafran number plates for vehicles, drivers’ licence and new currency were launched Friday, in a colourful ceremony in Owerri, Imo
State capital.

Chief Uwazuruike explained that the idea for Biafrans to have their own vehicle number plates, drivers’ license and new currency, was aimed at encouraging Ndigbo and, indeed, Biafrans, to come together and work together to develop the South-East part of the country.

He said it is the right of all transporters and private car owners, who are from the South-East to update their vehicle licences, adding that the programme also covers drivers of commercial tricycles and motorcycles.

“Now, it is the right of all Biafrans, all transporters, private motor owners and Okada riders to avail themselves of this opportunity to update their particulars. We also use the period of the registration exercise to call on all the traditional rulers and presidents-general of town unions to help educate their people on the need to get abreast with the new Biafran currency and other programmes.”

He further disclosed that income tax was now available for everybody within the areas under the control of the MASSOB.

On the Biafran currency, the MASSOB leader said the money was already in circulation throughout the ‘Biafran states,’adding that from the time of the launch of the new currency, the money would be available in all the banks across the geo-political zone.

Abia state governor's son sues Sun Newspaper for N5bn

Friday, September 12, 2014

Chinedu Orji, the first son of the Governor of Abia state, Theodore Orji, has dragged the Sun Newspapers Limited, owned by his father's predecessor, Orji Uzor Kalu, before an Abia state High Court claiming N5 billion damages over alleged libelous publication by the paper on March 10, 2014, where he was called as a terrorist. 

The newspaper had in the said publication written in part "it is not a secret affair as his terrorist activities in the state are fully documented".

Briefing newsmen yesterday September 11th in Umuahia the state capital, a member of his legal team, Chief Chukwunyere Nwabuko said former Governor Uzor Kalu had been using his media platform to publish libelous articles against the Governor and his son who he says does not hold any political position in his father's cabinet. 

The suit with case number HOH/2014 has a three-point claim which includes

“The sum of N5 billion as damages for libel; an unreserved apology to be published in at least three editions of the Daily Sun Newspapers; and an order of perpetual injunction restraining the defendants, their agents, privies, servants and associates from further writing, printing and publishing of the said libellous matter or a similar one against the claimant.”

A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Livy Uzorukwu, has been employed to be the lead council of Orji’s legal team.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome denies adultery accusations, threatens to sue journalists

Thursday, September 04, 2014

Though not denying the growing divorce scandal surrounding him, the head pastor of Christ Embassy Church, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, has threatened legal recourse against journalists publishing stories about him and his wife, Anita's divorce.

According to Saharareporters, the pastor, who spoke through his lawyer, Mr. Kemi Pinheiro (SAN), called the accusations of adultery a "false and malicious" attack against him and the church.

“The attention of our client, Rev. Chris Oyakhilome, and the church has been drawn to the wave of false, malicious and fabricated stories being published in the print and electronic media about his person, the church and a matrimonial cause between him and his wife," his attorney stated.

Sharply criticizing the recent coverage of the divorce proceedings, which the statement did not refute, the release claimed that publishers went so far as to fabricate claims that he had committed adultery against his wife, Anita. These contradict her claims that the leader of Christ Embassy Church had indeed been unfaithful during their "terribly degenerated" marriage, something she disclosed through counsel to Premium Times earlier Wednesday.


Characterizing the media's coverage of his wife's efforts to divorce him as “complete distortion of the facts in the pending proceedings in the United Kingdom”, the statement cited the coverage as "selfishly motivated" for political and financial advantage. 

Oyakhilome's counsel further said the media's coverage was engineered to bring him and the church shame and ridicule, though his wife was the person who aired the allegations against him. Earlier today, Wednesday, Mrs. Oyakhilome even told Premium Times, through counsel, that the marriage had "terribly degenerated".

The statement also acknowledged freedom of the press, but quite contradictorily cautioned that further action will be taken to safeguard the image of the church and the pastor if coverage continued.

"Be warned therefore that unless the concerned media houses desist from further publishing words and stories which are false and damaging of our client’s reputation and the church, we shall, without further recourse to the concerned publishers, promptly embark on appropriate legal machinery with a view to protecting our client’s reputation and that of the church."

Chinese couple take their son to court to force him to get a job

Thursday, August 07, 2014

A Chinese couple have gone to extreme lengths in a bid to force their adult son to get a job - they have taken him to court. Xu Qing, 29, has refused to work ever since leaving university, claiming that
employment is too boring. He has now moved his girlfriend into the home he shares with his parents and demanded he be fed and waited on hand and foot. (pic - the case being heard in court last week)

Initially his mother Xu Hsing cooked and cleaned after her only child at their home in the Chinese capital Beijing.

His father Ku arranged for him to have a job at a friend's company - but Qing quit after just three months saying it was too dull.

He now spends his day sleeping and surfing the internet but managed to meet a girl online, who is also jobless. Continue...

After just one month of dating, she has now moved in with the family - to the despair of Qing's parents.

They laid down an ultimatum, saying he would have to get a job or move out.

But he refused and they said they had no choice other than to take him to court.

They did and were successful after the court ruled that although Qing was their son, at the age of 29 they no longer had an obligation to support him and that as it was their house they could also him to move out.

For 60 days there was stalemate as Qing and his girlfriend refused to budge.

The couple were forced to go back to court and are now applying for an eviction notice to have bailiffs remove their son and his girlfriend from their property.

The case is regarded as a symptom of China's obsession with single children caused by the one child policy.

It is said the controversial government diktat has created a generation of so-called little princes who can do no wrong in their parents' eyes and have never had to work or fend for themselves.

BUSTED: Nigerian man, 22, arrested for raping 92-year-old woman in the US

Friday, June 27, 2014

A Nigerian man, 22, living in the US has been found guilty of raping a bedridden 92-year-old woman.

Samuel Onyenweaku, a former aide at the Amber Park Nursing Home in Cincinnati, is said to have taken advantage of the ill woman who could no longer communicate.

Onyenweaku was found out when a nursing supervisor tried to enter the victim’s room but found it locked. He is facing up to 20yrs in jail.

Daily Mail reports:

A prosecutor says the woman died in February from an unrelated condition.

A nursing supervisor testified against the young man, saying that she had tried to enter the resident’s room, but the door was locked. When she finally opened it, she says she found the resident naked from the chest down.

Her night gown had been pushed up to her breasts. A man’s pants, underwear and shoes were lying under the bed.

The supervisor then tried to enter the woman’s private bathroom, but that door was also locked. She got in with a master key and found Onyenweaku. The victim was a widow with no children.

A former school teacher in Kentucky, she was bed-ridden and could not communicate.

‘This is terrible. She did know what was happening,’ said Assistant Prosecutor Anita Vizedom. ‘This was the end of her life.’

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Onyenweaku was convicted of rape, felonious assault and patient abuse on Monday. He could face 20 years in prison when he’s sentenced on July 28.

Man Sues Close-up Toothpaste After Failing To Attract Single Girls

Wednesday, May 14, 2014

A 26-year-old man has filed a case against the company, which owns the Close Up toothpaste brand, for ?cheating? and causing him ?mental suffering?.?The plaintiff has cited his failure to attract any girl at all even though he?s been using Close-Up toothpaste for over seven years now. Close-Up advertisements suggest that the product helps men in instantly attracting women by letting their breaths out.

Anthony Olatunfe, the petitioner, also surrendered all his used, unused and half-used Close-Up tubes to the court, and demanded a laboratory test of the products. Anthony was pushed to take this step when his female boss slapped his face when he tried to kiss her after brushing his teeth with the Close-Up toothpaste.

Where is the Close-Up effect? I've been waiting for it for over seven years. Right from my college to now in my office, no girl ever agreed to even go out for a tea or coffee with me, even though I'm sure they could smell my breath. I always brush my teeth with so much close up gel to make sure the girls get turned on by my fresh breath as they usually show on TV.

Anthony claims that he had been using the toothpaste as per the company's instructions even since he first bought them. He argued that if he couldn’t experience the Close-Up effect despite using the product as directed, either the company was making false claims or selling fake products.

I had always stored them in cool and dry place, and kept them away from direct light or heat. I brushed my teeth morning and night. I did everything they instructed. I even beat up my 5-year-old nephew for coming near my toothpaste, as they had instructed to keep away from children's reach. And yet, all I get is a slap from my boss? Anthony expressed his frustration.

Unilever has officially declined to comment on the case citing the subject to be sub judice, but sources reveal that the company is worried over the possible outcomes of the case. The company might argue that Anthony was hopelessly unattractive and unintelligent and didn’t possess the bare minimum requirements for the Close-Up effect to take place. Officially Unilever has not issued any statement, but legal experts believe that they could have tough time convincing the court.

Unilever might be tempted to argue that Anthony is too ugly to attract a girl, but it is very risky. There is no data to substantiate the supposition that unattractive and unintelligent men don't attract women. In fact some of the best looking women have been known to marry and date absolutely unattractive guys. I'd suggest that the company settles this issue out of court. Barrister Festus Keyamo said.
