Court Fixes February 21 For Judgment In Suit Challenging Atiku’s Eligibility To Vie For Presidency

A federal high court in Abuja has fixed February 21, 2022, to deliver judgment in a suit challenging the citizenship of Atiku Abubakar, former vice-president.

Presiding judge, Inyang Ekwo fixed the date after listening to arguments from parties in the suit on Monday.

The Incorporated Trustees of Egalitarian Mission for Africa, the plaintiff, had filed the suit in 2019 and challenged Abubakar’s eligibility to contest for president.

The group joined the People’s Democratic Party, the Independent National Electoral Commission and Abubakar Malami, the attorney-general of the federation as co-defendants in the suit.

Ferdinand Reveals Two Players Who Are Doomed Under Rangnick

Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw might face spells on the bench due to their limited ability on the ball.

Rio Ferdinand has identified Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw as two players who would struggle to get back into the United line-up under interim manager Ralf Rangnick. The former Manchester United defender believes that the English duo's limited ability on the ball will count against them under the German manager.

Wan-Bissaka was on the bench against Crystal Palace on Sunday, having just returned from an injury layoff while Shaw was sidelined due to a head injury. Diogo Dalot and Alex Telles replaced the duo in the United line-up and performed admirably in the win over Palace.

Ferdinand believes that Wan-Bissaka and Shaw will struggle under Rangnick as the tactician prefers ball-playing defenders, an advantage that Dalot and Telles have over the sidelined duo.

Ferdinand said on FIVE YouTube channel: "I’ve got to be honest, Wan-Bissaka has got a hell of a job getting back in this team. The same for Luke Shaw. They’ve both got one hell of a job. One thing this manager likes is full-backs who can actually play and get on the ball.

Ferdinand explained that being good in the defensive phase is not good enough for a defender under Rangnick, as the 63-year-old manager prefers full-backs who can give a steady output on the ball also.

"As well as doing the other stuff like pressing, he wants output with the ball. That’s the weakest part of Wan-Bissaka’s game, there’s going to be a big fight for him to get back into this team," the football pundit noted.

Rangnick got up to a good start in his United career, nicking a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace courtesy of a Fred winner. The Red Devils are next in action on Wednesday 8th December against Swiss side Young Boys in the UEFA Champions League, having already qualified for the Round of 16.

Court Restrains Mai Mala Buni From Inaugurating Factional Bauchi Executive

Bauchi State High Court has issued an interim order restraining the Mai Mala Buni-led caretaker committee of the ruling All Progressives Congress from inaugurating the recently elected Babayo Aliyu Misau-led executive members in the state.

A copy of the interim injunction issued last week by the court restrained Buni, who is also Governor of Yobe State; Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu; and former Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara from administering the oath of office on Misau and his backroom ‘recognition’ as Bauchi APC leaders.

The court further ordered Misau and others elected as party executive members recently in the state to stop “parading themselves in whatsoever manners or means and or acting in whatever capacities or names called as Bauchi State executive officers of APC pending the hearing of the substantive suit filed”.

Three students of Dowen College located in Lekk have been arrested by the Lagos state police command in connection to the death of Sylvester Oromoni jnr.

The state commissioner of police, Hakeem Odumosu confirmed that three out of the five students are already in custody.

The CP Pdumosu added that the suspects are operatives of the police in their probe.

The demise of the 12-year-old boy has put Dowen College in the eye of the storm as Nigerians have called for the school to be punished for allowing such a tragic incident to occur under its premises.

The student’s distraught father had earlier told of how his child was beaten and fed a liquid chemical.
