The premises of the Federal High court was chaotic as supporters of Nnamdi Kanu chanted songs in solidarity with the Biafra course; this precipitated dispute between the officers of the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Prison Wardens. The situation however, did not degenerate into something that could amount to security risk but it got attention from the public. Speaking with journalists, the younger brother to Nnamdi Kanu appealed to the Nigerian govt. to ensure the protection of Kanu’s fundamental rights.
Chief Judge of the Federal High Court Justice Ibrahim Auta says poor funding of the nation’s court, lack of cooperation by lawyers and desperation of litigants are the major causes for conflicting judgements from courts. He stated this in an exclusive interview with NTA’s judiciary correspondent, Femi Okeowo, as part of preparations for the commencement of the new legal year.

The justices said new argument should address two key Supreme Court precedents upholding federal election law and whether the high court should "overrule either or both." At stake in the case is a provision of a 2002 federal campaign law that bans "election communications" funded by corporations or unions close to an election. The justices heard argument earlier this term, with former U.S. Solicitor General Ted Olson representing the producers of "Hillary, the Movie." The fi...
Raymond Omatseye, a former Director-General (DG) of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), charged with alleged N1.5billion contract scam. He was suspended as the DG of the agency since December 2010 and being tried before a Federal High Court in Lagos by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC. Temisan believed the then Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, Mohammed Adoke, was persecuting him pointing out that his trial came shortly after he declined a request to discontinue a case that NIMASA filed against the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG). He refused to compromise. Unbeknown to me, I was under the impression the case had been concluded when I asked him about the case. That was three weeks ago. I found him an honest man Nigeria should f...
Throughout the history of hacker culture, elevators have played a key role. From the mystique of students at MIT taking late-night rides upon car tops (don't do that, please!) to the work of modern pen testers who use elevators to bypass building security systems (it's easier than you think!) these devices are often misunderstood and their full range of features and abilities go unexplored. This talk will be an in-depth explanation of how elevators work... allowing for greater understanding, system optimizing, and the subversion of security in many facilities. Those who attend will learn why an elevator is virtually no different than an unlocked staircase as far as building security is concerned! While paying the bills as a security auditor and penetration testing consultant with his ...
The much expected ruling by the trial judge today at the federal high court Owerri, by Hon. Justice S.M.Shaub is hinged on two pre-suit cases emanating from the Biafran trial bundle First is the Technical omission on the case, using Bilie Human Rights Initiative as against "incorporated trustees of" Bilie as a juristic person, since Bilie is a name and not a person in law and on that ground, the trial judge knocked out the case without dismissal, while advising our lead council to quickly make the necessary amendment and return to court. The second objection raised by the defendant's council earlier was the issue of whether the court has the competence to try a case of the magnitude of self-determination as litigated by Biafra.
