Obiajulu Okoli, Esq.

This deserves to go viral, as it conveys the truth while also protecting the reputation of the university, since the claims were essentially false. Mr. Fubara unfortunately passed away at his home during the Easter break. The public also deserves to hear and share this truth.

@MarufMuhammed4 Facts

If your grade is not backed by grace, you can not be great in this legal profession.

This is commendable, Kudos to the Edo State Police command

To whom it may concern as copied from Taiwo Aromolarn on LinkedIn. Young lawyers, if you walk into court with these 7 authorities, no objection will take you off guard: 1. Atanda & Ors v. Ajani & Ors (1989) When to use this: Opposing counsel tries to introduce evidence or elicit testimony on facts not pleaded in the statement of claim or defence. Your response: “My Lord, this evidence goes to no issue. The facts it seeks to establish were never pleaded. We urge the court to discountenance it as it is inadmissible.” 2. Section 1(1) of the Evidence Act Torti v. Ukpabi (1984), citing Kuruma v. The Queen (1955) When to use this: Opposing counsel objects to your evidence on the grounds of how it was obtained e.g., arguing it was improperly or illegally obtained. You respond: “My Lord, relevance is the basis of admissibility. Once the evidence is relevant to the matters in issue, it is admissible. How it was obtained is of no moment at this stage.” 3. Ndu v. State (1990); FRN v. Saraki When to use this: Opposing counsel discloses information not contained in his pleadings or affidavit from the Bar. Your response: “My Lord, the law is trite. No matter how brilliant Counsel’s oral address is, it cannot take the place of evidence. The court of law is a court of facts and facts are established when supporting evidence is adduced. 4. Akpan v. Bob & Ors (2011) When to use this: The opposing counsel suggests that your brief is defective and should be struck out. Your response: “My Lord, even where a brief is alleged to be bad, the only consequence the court may visit upon it is an adverse comment. It has no jurisdiction to regard such a brief as no brief at all… It cannot strike it out on the premises of being bad.” 5. NNPC v. Clifco Nig. Ltd. (2011) When to use this: After winning, opposing party resists a costs order; Your response: “My lord, costs follow the event in litigation. A successful party should not be deprived of the fruits of litigation unless there are specific reasons why he should be deprived of his entitlement.” 6. Sodipo v. Lemminkainen & Anor (1986) When to use this: Opposing counsel objects to an affidavit because it was deposed to by a lawyer. How to respond: “My Lord, an affidavit sworn by counsel is not objectionable in principle. It is only improper where the subject-matter involves privileged client communication or places counsel in a position of being cross-examined. Neither condition is present here.” Which of these stood out to you? P.S: Lawyers, what case law will you recommend as no. 7?👇👇 Save this post for later Repost for other lawyers Best legal write up I’ve seen all week.

@ndpcngr Lack of accountability—applicants followed the instructions and submitted their applications, yet there has been no feedback whatsoever from the NDPC. When will we receive feedback?

@mr_mubzyy Maybe you tell us, what it means to be an introvert

As a lawyer if you are an introvert, litigation space isn’t for you!

@ruffydfire I think the judgement makes a lot of sense.

The Supreme Court decision of Friday, 10 April, 2026, that set aside the Ruling of the Court of Appeal which disallowed the appearance of Senior Advocates of Nigeria, Wole Olanipekun and Muiz Banire, as counsel for Neconde Energy Limited and Nestoil Limited, respectively in the action instituted by FBN Quest Merchant Bank Limited and FBN Trustees Limited has continued to reverberate across the legal and business community as landmark and decisive. In a unanimous judgment of the court read by Mohammed Baba Idris, JSC., the Supreme Court held that the Court of Appeal erred by allowing a receiver manager whose appointment was under challenge to perform functions including appointing counsel for the appellant in the proceeding which challenges the very foundation of the receivership. 
The Lagos Division of the Court of Appeal had by Ruling delivered on 23 January, 2026, held that the receiver appointed by the plaintiffs, FBNQuest and FBN Trustees,  over some assets of the duo of Neconde and Nestoil was upon his appointment vested with wide powers over the companies including the power to sue and the sole authority competent to appoint counsel for the companies in an action instituted by the said plaintiffs. In the decision of the Court of Appeal delivered by Yargat Nimpa, JCA; Danladi Senchi, JCA and Polycarp Kwahar, JCA, it held that the appearance of counsel not appointed by the receiver in the suit remained irregular and accordingly, disqualified Olanipekun and Banire, as well as their respective team from appearing for the companies.

@aleeygiwa Thank you for the great work, Nigerian police force are our people, we appreciate their services, the bad eggs should be disciplined accordingly.

We saw the video, we acted, and here is where things stand. When (Rhapstar) posted the viral video on 4 April 2026, alleging misconduct by officers from the Satellite Town Division, Lagos, we took the matter seriously and acted immediately. The DPO and the officers involved were summoned, statements were obtained, and detailed interviews were conducted. Preliminary findings indicate the incident occurred in May 2025. We are working to obtain additional details directly from the victims, as their accounts are central to the investigation. This process is not a cover-up; it is a demonstration of accountability. The Leadership of the Force management team, has emphasized that the rule of law is non-negotiable in the discharge of police duties nationwide. No officer is above accountability, and no incident is too old to investigate. The investigation is ongoing. We will provide regular updates. To every Nigerian who spoke up, your voice prompted accountability, as it should be.

These so-called human rights activists sent someone to prison over what he instigated, he went after this man’s business unprovoked. He then ran to use the Office of the Inspector-General of Police.

For example, when he came for Femi Falana (SAN), he could have been charged under the Cybercrimes Act. However, Femi Falana did not pursue that route.

Social media followership is like a cult. I am glad that people are beginning to understand what this VDM did. He always say things about people that could also amount to criminal charges.

So this is the charge against Blord? Very disappointing. This is weaponising the Cybercrimes Act!
