Katsina Youths Pass Vote of Confidence On Tinubu, Keyamo Over Aviation Sector Reforms

The Katsina Youth Network (KYN) has passed a vote of confidence on President Bola Tinubu and the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo.

In a statement co-signed by its president and secretary general, Alhaji Usman Galadanci and Wakil Jubril, the group said Keyamo's reforms in the aviation sector are visible and laudable.

They said that the Minister has shown a deep knowledge of the industry and came prepared for the job with critical interventions at the policy level.

According to them, the renowned SAN is sanitizing the ministry riddled with controversies, uncertainties, and dirty dealings into the most transparent under President Tinubu.

The youths further said that Keyamo is revamping the aviation sector and positioning it for optimal service delivery, citing the relocation of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria to Lagos as an example.

The KYN also hailed the "suspension of the fraudulent Nigerian Air project and sack of unqualified directors in the ministry" as other brave steps taken by Keyamo so far.

They added that the minister has exhibited a strong desire to support the growth of Nigeria’s airlines to ensure they flourish at a worldwide level.

According to the group, the proposed commencement of direct flights to the United Kingdom, the planned acquisition of cutting-edge radar technology for airports, and many other projects are aimed at growth and improved revenue.

The Katsina Youth Network, therefore, advised northern elder statesmen to allow the minister to do his job.

The statement said Keyamo means well for the country and should be supported to fully implement his well-desired blueprint.

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. ...
