N40m judgement won’t stop Audu Maikori’s ‘criminal’ trial, El-Rufai insists.

The Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai has said the award of N40 million in damages against him and the Nigerian police by a federal high court in Abuja in favour of Audu Maikori would not stop the “criminal trial” of the Chocolate City Group boss. The governor said the judgement would be appealed, insisting that neither him nor the Nigerian police had erred in the arrest and detention of the music entrepreneur. “The state government can file complaints, but it is the business of the police to make arrests following the normal procedures,” said the spokesperson for El-Rufai, Samuel Aruwan. “Our lawyers will study the judgement and take the appropriate steps. We will appeal up to the Supreme Court if necessary.” In his ruling on Friday in the fundamental human rights enforcement suit filed by Maikori on May 5, 2017, Justice John Tsoho said the rights of the Chocolate City Group’s boss had been violated. “The arrest was improper, irregular and wrongful.

Besides, Sani urged Buhari to reconsider the calls from some quarters to run for a second term in office, considering his age, health status and the complexity to drive the nation’s economy, adding, however, tha

Signs that she faced double jeopardy manifested a year after their marriage in March, 2002, when her husband consistently failed to perform his conjugal responsibility despite several efforts she made to lure him. Each time she made an attempt, he gave excuses, fuelling her suspicion that something was terribly amiss. “Barely a year after our marriage, I had a strong feeling he was impotent because no able-bodied man would spend a year with a woman sleeping on same bed without having sex, more so, when the woman is your own wife. Several times, I attempted to lure him into sex by deploying my romantic skills while putting on sexy night gowns, but he was never moved. Initially, I didn’t know he was avoiding s
