Billionaire Businessman, Kessington Adebutu Constructs 1000 Seater Hall To Welcome Olushola Egbesola-Led Exco In Abeokuta Sports Club

In fulfilling one of the key campaign promises by the Olusola Egbesola-led executive council, the Odole of Yorubaland, Chief Kessington Adebutu (aka Baba Ijebu) has begun the construction of 1000 seater hall for Abeokuta Sports Club 1904.

Egbesola emerged as the President Abeokuta Sports Club 1904 during an election, which held on May 7, 2021.

Egbesola, a successful businessman, entrepreneur and technocrat, has proven that his tenure would witness a massive turnaround in the club.

The foundation of the project has since commenced after necessary approvals were obtained from the relevant agencies.

The Ijebu, Ogun State-born Kessington, notable as a philanthropist and successful businessman, had promised to be part of the success story of Egbesola-led exco of the club.

With the project, it is certain that Egbesola and his team would not only consolidate on the achievements of the past administrations, they would also pursue innovative landmark projects.

In appreciating Baba Ijebu for the support and gesture, Egbesola promised not to disappoint or fail on his campaign promises for the club.

“I want to express my sincere appreciation to Chief Kessington for his fatherly support.

“We are proud to be associated with him. We pray that God will give him long life so that he would do more for humanity.

“By the grace of God, we will do our best to uplift Abeokuta Sports Club 1904 in our time and we will not disappoint those who entrusted us with their votes during the last election,” he said, adding that the members should expect more new developments in the coming months.

Court Sets Aside Arrest, Remand, Wanted Declaration Against Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi

A Magistrate Court sitting in Ogba, Ikeja, Lagos, has set aside its earlier ex-parte order authorizing the arrest, remand, and “wanted” declaration of Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi, also known as Hammed Ajiran. The development follows the earlier declaration of Akanbi as wanted for alleged multiple murder by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Moshood Olorundare Jimoh, on February 19, 2026. However, in a ruling delivered today, Magistrate L.A. Owolabi of Magistrate Court 3 nullified the ex-parte order initially granted on February 16, 2026. In his decision, Magistrate Owolabi held that the order was obtained through the concealment of material facts. The court specifically noted that the counsel who filed and argued the application, Nosa Watson Uhumwangho, was under suspension by the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee at the time and therefore lacked the right of audience before the court. The ruling sparked jubilation among members of the youth wing of the Ojomu royal family, who...

Court Cautions Police, Orders Proper Invitation of Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi

A Lagos State Magistrate Court has cautioned the Lagos State Police Command and directed that proper procedures be followed in the handling of the case involving Mr. Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi, also known as Hammed Ajiran, in what is seen as a setback for individuals including Bashir Fakorede, Jide Akinloye, and Assistant Inspector-General of Police, AIG Jimoh Moshood. Presiding over proceedings in the Ogba Magisterial District, Magistrate A. J. Odueke, in Charge No: MISC/126/2026, held that the police must formally invite Akanbi rather than declare him wanted. The Court further stated that an order for arrest would only be considered if he fails to honour such an invitation. The Court noted that it was mindful of previous proceedings in Charge No: MCIK/60A/2026, where a similar application had earlier been set aside by another Magistrate on March 23, 2026, on the grounds of illegality. Consequently, the Court declined to entertain what it described as a repetition of a defective process. ...
