Bayelsa PDP Youth Vanguard ask INEC to Cancel Election Results In Eleven Polling Units Of Ward 3, Southern Ijaw Local Government

The Bayelsa PDP Youth Vanguard, representing the vibrant youth wing of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), has expressed deep concern over the integrity of the governorship election results in eleven polling units of Ward 3, Southern Ijaw Local Government Area. The youth vanguard is calling on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to cancel the election results in these affected units due to reported incidents of result hijacking by thugs.

There have been disturbing reports of thugs hijacking the election results in eleven polling units in Ikebiri within Ward 3, Southern Ijaw Local Government Area. Such actions compromise the credibility of the electoral process and undermine the will of the people.

Speaking on behalf of the group, Samuel Igali said the presence of thugs in the polling units contributed to voter suppression, creating an environment of fear and intimidation that inhibits the free exercise of the citizens' democratic rights.

“To ensure the transparency and fairness of the electoral process, it is essential that INEC thoroughly investigates the reported incidents and takes appropriate actions to address the concerns raised by the Bayelsa PDP Youth Vanguard.”

The group called on INEC to cancel the election results from the eleven affected polling units in Ward 3, Southern Ijaw Local Government Area, where the democratic process was compromised. He also said those responsible for disrupting the electoral process must be identified and held accountable.

“The Bayelsa PDP Youth Vanguard remains committed to the principles of democracy and the pursuit of a fair and credible electoral system. We trust that INEC will address these concerns promptly and in the best interest of democracy.” he concluded

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. ...
