Court Reinstates Edo Local Government Chairmen

The Edo State High Court has reinstated 18 suspended local government chairmen and their deputies, declaring the suspensions by the Edo State House of Assembly illegal and unconstitutional. This decision, hailed by the Peoples Democratic Party as a victory for democracy, challenges the political dynamics in the state, particularly the alleged influence of Governor Monday Okpebholo. Meanwhile, in Ekiti, human rights lawyer Dele Farotimi has been granted bail of N30 million in his ongoing defamation trial, with the court imposing strict conditions, including the submission of his passport and a ban on media interviews. Legal expert Tunji Abdulhameed discusses the implications of these developments and the role of powerful individuals in politically sensitive cases. Additionally, former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello has been released from Kuje Custodial Centre after meeting bail conditions set by the Federal Capital Territory High Court, where he faces serious charges of conspiracy and criminal breach of trust. In Rivers State, a court has nullified the congresses of the All Progressives Congress, citing a court order that restrained the party from proceeding with the exercise.
