  ONYEAMA DANIEL, AWKA The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has asked the Court of Appeal in Lagos to list Mohammed Yunusa, a Federal High Court judge recently discharged of bribery charges, for retrial. It made the prayer in a February 2, 2020 notice of appeal sighted by our correspondent on Wednesday. An Ikeja High Court had in a ruling on January 25 discharged Yunusa of the bribery charges, citing a December 23, 2020 letter by the National Judicial Council which lifted the suspension slammed on him in July 2016. Before the ruling, EFCC prosecutor, Wahab Shittu, had called 10 prosecution witnesses with only about two more to be presented, when the court struck out Mr Yunusa’s name off the charges, and ordered his alleged co-accomplice, Esther Agbo, to continue facing the trial.

ONYEAMA DANIEL, AWKA.  Iskilu Wakili is a notorious Fulani warlord in Ayete, a town in the Ibarapa area of Oyo State. Farmers and residents in the area thought the eviction of the Seriki Fulani, Abdulkadri Saliu, from Igangan also in Ibarapaland, was the end to Fulani herdsmen oppression but Wakili only waxed stronger as he mounted no cross-zone on farms with the eviction of Saliu in a bid to send warnings to the people of the town that he cannot be evicted. Here are six reasons Ayete people want Wakili barred; 1- Wakili has been accused of displacing farmers from their farms by forcefully invading their farms with cattle. 2- He has been accused of rape, kidnapping and other crimes in Ayete, Ibarapaland. 3- He mounted red flags on some locations as no-cross zones. 4- Wakili and his men shot a boy who crossed the red flag by mistake. 5- No farmer in Ayete can harvest any crop again but Wakili does all the harvests. He technically displaced all the farmers from their farms by sendin...
