Five Residents of FCT File Suit Against Tinubu To Stop his Inauguration
Five residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have file a suit against the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) over the declaration of Senator Bola Tinubu as the nation’s president-elect.
In the suit filed before the Federal High Court in Abuja on April 28, 2023, the plaintiffs said Senator Tinubu failed to secure at least 25 percent of votes cast in the FCT.
The plaintiffs, Anyaegbunam Okoye, David Adzer, Jeffrey Ucheh Osang Paul, and Chibuike Nwanchukwu, who sued for themselves and on behalf of other residents and registered voters in the FCT, are asking the court to determine “whether or not the person who is to be elected president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and consequently administrator of the FCT through the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and the Federal Capital Territory Development Authority, on the first ballot, is required by section 134(2)(b) of the Constitution to obtain at least 25% of the votes cast in the FCT”.
Tinubu was declared the winner of the February 25, 3023 presidential poll with eight million, seven hundred and ninety-four thousand, seven hundred and twenty-six votes.
The plaintiffs also want a declaration extending President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure pending when a successor is determined in accordance with the Constitution.
Social media activist, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has been released from the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
His release was announced on Wednesday by former presidential candidate and activist, Omoyele Sowore, via his X handle.
“Thanks to unrelenting efforts of all @thatverydarkman has been released from unjust detention at the @officialEFCC.
He is with his ebullient lawyer, @adeyanjudeji,” Sowore tweeted.

Herbert Wigwe: Pilot Error Results in Crash
In its final report released on Wednesday, the NTSB said the accident occurred after the pilot continued flying under visual flight rules (VFR) into weather conditions that required instrument flight protocols.
The United States National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has concluded that the helicopter crash which claimed the lives of former Access Holdings CEO, Herbert Wigwe, his wife, son, and three others in February 2024 was caused by pilot error stemming from spatial disorientation.
In its final report released on Wednesday, the NTSB said the accident occurred after the pilot continued flying under visual flight rules (VFR) into weather conditions that required instrument flight protocols.
“The pilot’s decision to continue the visual flight rules flight into instrument meteorological conditions, which resulted in the pilot’s spatial disorientation and loss of control,” was cited as the probable cause of the crash.
