The National Auditor of the New Nigerian People’s Party (NNPP), Ladipo Johnson, has criticized the judiciary following the sack of Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, by the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja.

Mutfwang was the third opposition governor to be sacked by the Court of Appeal within three days.

In a judgment on Sunday, a three-member panel of the Court of Appeal led by Justice Elphreda Williams-Dawodu ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to withdraw the certificate of return issued to Mutfwang and give a fresh one to Nentawe Goshwe of the APC.

Reacting to the court judgment, Johnson described the verdict as part of the “judicial rascality that is unfolding.”

Speaking during an interview with Punch, the NNPP chieftain insisted that APC has a long way to go to foist itself on Nigerians.

He said, “The bottom line is that the judiciary have put themselves on trial because of some inconsistent principle that we are seeing. Most recent judgments by the judiciary are very troubling to a lot of us in the Country.

“Even if this is not an attempt to foist APC on Nigerians, it will have the effect. It is a long way for them to force APC on Nigerians because PDP has many states. So, it is far away from it.”

The NNPP National Auditor declared, “So there is judicial rascality going on. Yes, I haven’t read the judgment, but from the extract have seen, there is a sort of rascality going on. We no longer have confidence in the judiciary

“But we are hoping that the Supreme Court will put some clarity on these issues and follow their precedent as it were.”

Super Falcons striker delivered more than just a goal during Nigeria’s international friendly victory over Senegal on Friday, as the forward used the moment to spotlight pressing educational issues in the country.

After calmly converting a first-half penalty to hand Nigeria the lead against Senegal at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne, Ogun State, Oshoala revealed a message written on her wristband which read: “Save The Teachers” and “Bring Back Our Children.”

The gesture quickly drew attention from fans and observers, with many praising the Barcelona Femeni star for using her platform to advocate for education and the welfare of children in Nigeria.

Oshoala’s strike came in the 32nd minute after she was fouled inside the penalty area, before midfielder Toni Payne doubled Nigeria’s advantage nine minutes later with a composed finish.

The Super Falcons eventually secured a 2-1 victory over the Lionesses of Senegal in the friendly encounter, which forms part of the team’s preparations for the upcoming Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).

Senegal pulled one goal back late in the game through Sokhna Nogaye, but Nigeria held firm to seal the win in front of the home supporters in Ikenne.

Beyond the result, Oshoala’s post-goal message became one of the defining moments of the match, highlighting concerns over the state of kidnapping of School children across in Oyo State.

A goal and a message — Oshoala once again showed her passion for making an impact both on and off the pitch.

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has commenced a fresh operation targeting vehicles with illegal tinted windows, concealed number plates and improper registration across Abuja.

FCT Commissioner of Police Ahmed Muhammed Sanusi disclosed the development during a media briefing on Friday.

He said security reports indicated that criminal suspects often use such vehicles to avoid identification and carry out unlawful activities.

According to the police chief, cases of kidnapping and the notorious “one-chance” robberies have been linked to vehicles operating with hidden identities.

Sanusi noted that tinted windows and covered registration plates make it difficult for security agencies to track offenders and investigate crimes.

He stated that enforcement teams have already been deployed across the territory to ensure compliance with existing regulations.

The commissioner clarified that the exercise is aimed at motorists violating the law and not those with valid approvals for tinted glass.

He revealed that more than 30 vehicles have so far been impounded for breaching the regulations and that offenders would face prosecution.

Sanusi urged residents to report suspicious persons, vehicles and activities, stressing that the operation is part of broader efforts to improve security and curb crime in the nation’s capital.
