Retired ACP Sheriff Rabiu Drops Bombshell on Radical Northern Preachers

Retired ACP Sheriff Rabiu Drops Bombshell on Radical Northern Preachers

A retired Assistant Commissioner of Police, Sheriff Abubakar Rabiu, yesterday lit a fire under Northern Nigeria’s religious establishment with a blistering open letter that has gone viral across WhatsApp groups, mosque forums, and police veterans’ chats. In language too raw for most serving officers to dare utter, the no-nonsense former crime-fighter accused a section of Northern Islamic clerics of “poisoning the minds of our youth with vituperative, inciting and dangerously divisive sermons” that have turned pulpits into platforms for open warfare against Christians. “Nobody has the key to Jannatul Firdausi except Allah,” Sheriff thundered. “Yet any Tom, Dick and Harry…

A Legal Reappraisal of the Continued Prosecution of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu

A Legal Reappraisal of the Continued Prosecution of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu

Nullum Crimen Sine Lege and the Constitutional Necessity of Entering Nolle Prosequi: By: Charles Ude, Esq. The prosecution and continued detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu now present a converging crisis of constitutional law, criminal jurisprudence, and national security policy. Two unavoidable legal conclusions emerge with clarity: (1) the charges are constitutionally incompetent due to reliance on repealed and inapplicable statutory frameworks, and(2) national stability and public interest constitutionally compel the Attorney-General of the Federation to invoke nolle prosequi under Section 174 of the 1999 Constitution. This matter has transcended ordinary prosecution and now poses a fundamental test of Nigeria’s commitment…

The Downside of a Yoruba Pastor In The Person of PRIMATE ELIJAH AYODELE Blaming the Igbo as Nigeria’s Problem

The Downside of a Yoruba Pastor In The Person of PRIMATE ELIJAH AYODELE Blaming the Igbo as Nigeria’s Problem

By Mazi Otti NwakaNSCCABSSCFOA. When a religious leader from one ethnic group publicly declares that another tribe—here, the Igbo—is the cause of Nigeria’s difficulties, the statement reverberates far beyond the pulpit. Such rhetoric can deepen existing cleavages, erode trust among citizens, and undermine the nation’s collective effort to address real challenges. While freedom of expression protects the pastor’s right to speak, the impact of his words illustrates several negative consequences. First, polarisation intensifies. Ethnic identity is already a sensitive fault line in Nigeria; framing a single group as the “problem” fuels stereotypes and resentment. Followers may interpret the claim as…
