Ondo Redemption Front Petitions Ondo State House of Assembly to Investigate Governor Rotimi Akeredolu's Health

In a significant development, the Ondo Redemption Front (ORF), a prominent socio-political group in Ondo State, has submitted a formal petition to the Ondo State House of Assembly. The petition calls for the constitution of a medical panel to probe the current state of health of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu. Recall, that Mr Akeredolu returned to the country, after a long medical vacation overseas, for an undisclosed ailment.

The Ondo Redemption Front, comprised of concerned citizens and political activists, has expressed their reservations regarding the health of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu. The group have in the past months, championed the call for the resumption of Mr Akeredolu, whom since the purported return to the country, have failed to resume duty, in the state, or seen performing any public functions.

The ORF have therefore requested a thorough medical evaluation to ascertain the governor's fitness to continue carrying out his duties in office, as the Governor of Ondo State.

This move has ignited discussions across the state as the group emphasizes the importance of transparency in governance. The Ondo Redemption Front believes that a comprehensive medical examination will provide the necessary clarity and assurance to the citizens of Ondo State, especially as the Governor remains unseen, by the people of the State.

The petition, which has already been received by the Assembly speaker, was sent on behalf of some of the group's leaders, including the Chairman Ologun Ayodeji, Secretary Olufemi Lawson, Isijola Kike and others.

The Ondo Redemption Front has pledged to closely monitor the situation and continue advocating for accountability and transparency in governance, particularly in Ondo State, as it continues its advocacy for the return of governance in the State.

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...

Lagos Lawyer, Ajulo, Labels AIG Moshood Jimoh 'Incompetent,' Demands Independent Review of Ajiran Killings Probe

A Lagos-based lawyer, Adedotun Ajulo Esq, has described the Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG), Moshood Jimoh, as "incompetent and renewed his call for an independent review of the police investigation into the killings in Ajiran Community. Ajulo made the remarks in a statement issued in response to a publication titled "Ajiran killings: Groups, Stakeholders Exonerate AIG Jimoh Moshood from Corrupt Allegations, Refutes Defamatory Statement as Fallacy,"* in which several groups defended the senior police officer against allegations surrounding the handling of the murder investigation. According to the lawyer, public endorsements and declarations of support cannot replace transparency and accountability in restoring public confidence in the justice system. "Public confidence in the administration of justice cannot be restored through endorsements or public declarations. Confidence is earned through a process that is demonstrably impartial, transparent, and ca...

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. ...
