AIG Emmanuel Ade Aina,
Director of Legal Services, Nigeria Police Force,

I write to formally draw your attention to the unlawful arrest and ongoing trial of Enugu-based activist Chijinkem Ugwuanyi, who is currently languishing in prison over allegations that he cyberstalked the Enugu State SSG, Prof. Chidiebere Onyia.

A cursory review of the charges filed against him reveals what is clearly a disturbing abuse of police power. The law is clear, the police cannot prosecute matters under the Cybercrimes Act except through a duly qualified legal officer. Any charge prepared, signed, and filed otherwise is fundamentally defective and therefore null and void.

Furthermore, jurisdiction in cybercrime matters is expressly vested in the Federal High Court by virtue of Section 50(1) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, Etc.) Act, 2024, and Section 251(1) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). Any proceeding instituted outside the proper jurisdiction raises serious constitutional and procedural concerns.

In light of these glaring legal defects, I urge you, in your capacity as Director of Legal Services of the NPF, to immediately discontinue this prosecution when the matter comes up on the adjourned date, Tuesday, 3rd March 2026. Upholding the rule of law requires not only enforcing statutes, but also ensuring that enforcement itself complies strictly with constitutional and statutory safeguards.

Respectfully.
Omoyele Sowore

APC Suspends Abia Congresses Amid Speculation Over Alex Otti’s Alleged Planned Defection

Me: wise decision

US military aircraft have landed in Borno, Nigeria, delivering ammunition and personnel to support the country's fight against insecurity and insurgency....

Five United States lawmakers have introduced a bill seeking to impose visa restrictions and freeze assets belonging to the former governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso, the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) and two others over severe violations of religious freedom, including the persecution of Christians in Nigeria.

But the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) said it received, with shock, reports that U.S. Congressmen were considering a bill that would impose visa bans and asset freezes on its national leader, Kwankwaso.

This was as the U.S. proposed a bill to counteract Chinese mining operations in Nigeria as part of measures to tackle religious freedom violations and extremism by terrorist groups.

Also, the End the Genocide Against Nigerian Christians Coalition, convened by Save Nigeria Group U.S.A., issued a statement in strong support of H.R. 7457 –the Nigeria Religious Freedom and Accountability Act of 2026.

Introduced by Riley Moore (R-WV) and Christopher Smith (R-NJ), H.R. 7457 represents a critical step towards confronting the escalating persecution of Christians and other religious minorities in Nigeria.

The proposed legislation by the five lawmakers, entitled ‘Nigeria Religious Freedom and Accountability Act of 2026’, was introduced by Chris Smith, Riley Moore, Brian Mast, Mario Diaz-Balart and Bill Huizenga. It would require the Secretary of State to submit periodic assessments to Congress detailing Nigeria’s compliance with international religious freedom obligations and actions taken to protect vulnerable communities.
