The management of Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) has given the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC a seven-day ultimatum to apologize of face legal action.

The Managing Director of the OOPL, Mr Vitalis Ortese, at a press conference in Abeokuta, said that the Anti – graft commission invasion was an assault on all what the presidential library stood for.

He demanded for a N3.5 billion compensation for the victims and the presidential library where the former president, Olusegun Obasanjo resides.

The legal Adviser of OOPL, Olumide Ayeni while showing the media evidence, including bullet shells and EFCC beret, said the presidential library is ready to face the anti graft in court, if it fails to yield to their demands.

The Michael & Cecilia Ibru University (MCIU) has announced the appointment of Professor Anthony Kila as its new Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council. This move marks a significant step in the university’s mission to enhance quality education and leadership development in Nigeria.

The appointment, made official in August, was conveyed in a letter signed by the university’s Visitor and Registrar, Dr. (Mrs.) Cecilia Ibru, and Dr. T. Kolo. It confirms the selection of Kila—an esteemed international jurist, political economist, and Jean Monnet Professor—for the university’s top strategic role.

Professor Kila, known for his extensive contributions to education, governance, and international development, brings decades of academic and professional experience to the role. As Pro-Chancellor, he will lead the university’s strategic planning, policy development, and global engagement efforts.

In a statement acknowledging his appointment, Professor Kila expressed appreciation to the university’s Governing Council and pledged to collaborate closely with the Vice-Chancellor, academic staff, and stakeholders to strengthen MCIU’s academic standing and societal impact.

“Education is the most enduring and sustainable investment one can make for the future,” Kila said. “At MCIU, we have the honour and responsibility of shaping the next generation of leaders who will drive positive transformation in Nigeria and beyond.”

In addition to his new role, Professor Kila serves as Director of the Commonwealth Institute of Advanced and Professional Studies (CIAPS) and remains a vocal advocate for educational reform and institutional capacity building.

Founded in 2015 by the Michael & Cecilia Foundation, MCIU is dedicated to academic excellence and community service. The university has previously been guided by notable figures such as Professor Ayo Banjo, Chief Joop Berkhout, and Professor Peter Gbewa Hugbo.

Kila’s appointment is expected to inject renewed energy, strategic direction, and international visibility into the university’s operations. His official inauguration will be held later this year at MCIU’s campus in Delta State.

An Ikeja Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday discharged Miss Comfort Emmason of charges bordering on unruly behaviour and assaulting the flight crew aboard an Ibom Air aircraft from Uyo to Lagos on Monday.

Magistrate Olanrewaju Salami struck out the five-count charge against Emmason after the police prosecution team withdrew the case.

At the resumed hearing, prosecutor Oluwabunmi Adeitan informed the court of new developments that necessitated the withdrawal.

She tendered an application to the court for the withdrawal of the case, which was admitted by the court.
