Thirty-four lawyers have been dropped from the process of being appointed judges to the Federal High Court of Nigeria after failing an integrity test introduced under new guidelines approved by the National Judicial Council (NJC).....TAP TO CONTINUE READING

The integrity test, endorsed by the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, is aimed at eliminating persons of doubtful character from being appointed as judicial officers.

The affected lawyers were among 62 applicants earlier shortlisted for the Federal High Court bench but were disqualified following petitions submitted against them during the screening.

Sources at the NJC disclosed that only 28 nominees who received a clean bill of health during the test would now appear before the council’s interview panel next month.

A source said the 62 applicants earlier passed the Computer-Based Test (CBT) conducted by the Federal High Court, after which their names were forwarded to the Federal Judicial Service Commission (FJSC).

In line with established procedures, the FJSC applied the integrity test policy by publishing the names of the 62 nominees on September 17, 2025, inviting members of the public to submit feedback on their integrity, reputation and suitability for judicial appointment.

One of the petitions alleged that a female nominee demanded and received bribes in the course of her official duties. The matter was referred to the Police Service Commission (PSC) for investigation. At the conclusion of its probe, the PSC reportedly established that the nominee demanded and received a bribe of N1m in relation to a court matter that passed through her office.

Based on findings from that petition and several others, the FJSC upheld only 28 nominations, forwarding their names to the NJC, while dropping the remaining 34 for failing the integrity test.

According to our report, a 33-year-old Ede carpenter, Badmos Wasiu, has confessed to orchestrating a four-year livestock theft spree that terrorized goat and sheep farmers in Ede Town.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING

Our findings reveal that Wasiu, along with two motorcycle riders and a domestic animal trader, targeted goats and sheep for resale. He admitted his wife believed his earnings came from carpentry and commercial motorcycling, unaware of the criminal operations.

Authorities say the syndicate was finally caught on December 14 when vigilantes intercepted them before police arrived. Investigations uncovered that stolen animals were stored overnight in a shop arranged by the trader, Azeez Muyideen, who also recruited riders for transport.

Wasiu explained that Muyideen initially encouraged him to steal animals, promising high profits. He said he could not have carried out the crimes alone, and until his arrest, had successfully stolen livestock for four years without detection — all while living in his family home.

Church boys are not asking us out, it’s the unrepentant that want us” – Lady cries out

A lady has sparked reactions online after opening up to her pastor about her frustration with dating as a church girl.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING

Speaking during a viral sermon, she explained that women in the church are often taught not to chase men but to wait for men to approach them.

However, she lamented that many church men are not making the first move, leaving several women worried as time goes by and age becomes a concern.

Expressing her frustration, she said,

“We are taught to wait for the man to come because we cannot go after a man. Now we are getting older, and time is not on our side.”

She went on to compare church men with men outside the church, noting that non-church men appear much bolder, even at a younger age.

According to her, it is common to see a 20-year-old confidently walk up to her and express interest, something she rarely experiences within the church.

“We are spiritual, we like Jesus, and it’s very difficult to drag these guys to church, but the church boys are not coming either,” she added.

Concluding her remarks, the lady asked the pastor what could be done to address the situation, especially since most of the men showing interest are not spiritually inclined.

Her comments have sparked debate online, with many women relating to her concerns and discussing how to strike a balance between faith, attraction, and relationships.
