National Assembly Lawmakers in Nigeria are elected to represent a constituency to protect their people’s interest and take constituents’ grievances to the centre for effective representation. Though they are to be committed to the unity and welfare of Nigeria, their constituents expect that they engage issues on the pillars of equity, fairness, justice, progress and peaceful co-existence. But recent activities of lawmakers from the Southern part of the country in the National Assembly seem to pass them off as failing in taking the interest of their constituencies to heart. For instance, a political analyst recently asked as to how the Special Status for Lagos and the South East Development Commission did not scale through the National Assembly, yet the North East Development Commission, which came after the demand for Special Status for Lagos and the South East Development Commission scaled through. ....
Parade of suspects by the police Basically, the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) is saddled with the constitutional duty of protecting the lives and property of Nigerians; crime detection and prevention; arrest of offenders, as well as the preservation of order in the society. But for far too long, the agency has immensely contributed to the incalculable harm that the pre-trial parade of crime suspects has done to those involved, especially jeopardising citizen’s legal rights. Also, contrary to established conventions, statements of suspects are obtained/recorded in the absence of their legal representative thereby failing to protect the liberty and privacy of criminal suspects as stipulated by laws of the land. ....

NPA: CSOs back Reps, want EFCC to probe non-remittances under Bala-Usman Published 15 May 2021 Some civil society organisations have supported calls by a cross section of members in the House of Representatives for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to probe the Nigerian Ports Authority under the leadership of its suspended Managing Director, Hadiza Bala-Usman.

The Federal Ministry of Transportation, in a May 4, 2021 letter to the President, claimed that the NPA failed to remit N165.32bn to the CRF from 2016 to 2020 and called for an investigation and audit of the financial accounts of the authority ....
Solomon Yamai Right from the outset of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration in 2015, Abubakar Malami, SAN, has been marked for vilification by forces within and outside the government who saw and still see his gain as Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice as their loss. As it were, barring any act of God, they will have to live with their sense of loss until May 29, 2023 when the second term of the administration comes to an end. The forces had calculated and, in fact, wished that Buhari would drop him as a cabinet member in his second term, or possibly move him to another ministry. But that did not happen. The 54-year-old technocrat/politician stays to their uttermost chagrin. The man from Kebbi is taking the series of man-created storms after his appointment in his strides. ....
