SEXUAL ASSAULT ON WOMEN AT OZORO FESTIVAL IS A NATIONAL DISGRACE.
A society reveals its true character in how it treats its women. Where women are chased, stripped, groped, violated, and publicly humiliated by mobs under the guise of celebration, what is on display is not culture. It is barbarity. It is a collapse of conscience. It is a stain on our shared humanity. The deeply disturbing reports emerging from a recent festival in Ozoro, Delta State, are not just troubling; they are horrifying. Women were allegedly accosted in broad daylight, forcefully stripped of their clothing, sexually assaulted, and su…
THE FEDERAL CAPITAL TERRITORY MUST NOT BECOME A FERTILE GROUND FOR “ONE CHANCE” MURDERS.
What appears to be the disturbing return of “one chance” criminal operations in the Federal Capital Territory has, once again, plunged Abuja into grief. In separate but equally tragic incidents, Ms Chinemerem Pascalina Chuwumeziem, a nurse, and Princess Chigbo Mediatrix, our dear colleague, a lawyer and former Treasurer of the Nigerian Bar Association Abuja Branch, lost their lives after falling victim to this deadly criminal enterprise. Their bodies were later discovered in different locations across the city. These were not faceless victims…
FOR ALL LAWYERS: YOU ARE NOT THERE JUST TO EARN A SALARY.
I was in court today for a matter and witnessed something in another case that warmed my heart. But still left me hopping mad. 3 young boys were on trial for cultism-related charges. They were being prosecuted in the State High Court by the Ministry of Justice. The IPO was cross-examined today by counsel to the third Defendant. The IPO confirmed that the boy made a statement that he was not at the scene of the alleged crime on the day/time in question. The IPO confirmed that the boy told him where he was on that day and who he was with. But …
EID EL-KABIR: AS WE CELEBRATE! | S. O. K. Shillings Esq.
My mind is with those whose lives were cut short in gruesome circumstances which are not natural. The endangered species of the insecurity situation in Nigeria. Those who are afflicted by the strife of our society. Suddenly, 'banditry' becomes part of the employment index. Sophisticated weapons are brandished and applied to devastating effects. The roads are no longer safe. We find ourselves in the Hobbesian state-of-nature where life is brutish and short. Life expectancy is tied more to luck. And they are products of the actions of m…

IN MY COUNTRY NIGERIA, IS JUSTICE TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR? - MS BLESSING'S STORY AND MESSAGE TO THE WORLD.
My name is Blessing. I am a resident of Igbo Oluwo estate jumofak. An incident happened on the 12th day of March, 2021 at about 2:00pm. A thief was caught in my estate just beside my house and we were all outside, until the security personnel (onyabo) came and asked us (females) to go inside, after which we did (my neighbors and I). We were in the compound when we heard a noise (the man was saying they should warn Adeloye in Yoruba), at this point we came out and Adeloye said (to the man), "You were the one that said all females should …
