Garba Adamu Accuses Ukraine and CIA of Sabotaging Nigerian Protests
Garba Adamu, a former presidential aspirant from the All Progressives Congress (APC), has made serious allegations against Ukraine and the CIA concerning the recent EndBadGovernance protests in Nigeria.
Adamu claims that these entities were involved in spreading Russian flags among the protesters in an attempt to undermine President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Adamu asserts that Ukraine, in collaboration with the CIA and certain domestic political allies, orchestrated this act as part of a broader strategy to destabilize Nigeria’s current government.
This accusation follows reports that some EndBadGovernance protesters in Northern Nigeria were seen waving Russian flags during the demonstrations.
The Department of State Services (DSS) responded by apprehending the tailor responsible for making the flags.
In a statement posted on X, Adamu elaborated on his claims, suggesting that the presence of the Russian flags was a deliberate effort by Ukraine and the CIA to sabotage the Nigerian government.
He further contends that this incident is part of a larger pattern of Ukraine trying to extend its conflict with Russia into Africa, pointing to recent similar actions in Mali where Ukraine allegedly allied with terrorists against the local government.
Adamu warned that Nigeria needs to be vigilant and strategic in its approach to the political dynamics of the Sahel region, emphasizing that while the situation is complex, it presents opportunities that should be navigated wisely.
LeBron James, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer and Los Angeles Lakers star, has announced a temporary break from social media.
The 39-year-old made the announcement on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram after sharing a post by Rich Kleiman, agent to NBA star Kevin Durant, criticizing the media’s focus on negativity.
Kleiman wrote, “With so much hate and negativity in the world today, it confuses me why some of the national sports media still think that the best way to cover sports is through negative takes… I, for one, find it all a waste of breath.” James shared the post, adding a simple comment: “AMEN!!”
In a follow-up post, James confirmed his social media hiatus, writing, “And with that said, I’ll holla at y’all! Getting off social media for the time being. Y’all take care.”
James, known for his strong presence on and off the court, is taking this break amidst ongoing discussions about the role of media in shaping public perceptions of athletes.

Former Petroleum Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke has filed a motion to amend her lawsuit challenging the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC) order for the final forfeiture of her seized assets.
At a Federal High Court hearing in Abuja presided over by Justice Inyang Ekwo, Alison-Madueke’s counsel confirmed filing the amendment motion and serving the EFCC. Notably, no EFCC representatives appeared in court.
The embattled ex-minister also sought an extension of time to contest the EFCC’s public notice regarding the sale of her confiscated properties, claiming she was denied a fair hearing during the forfeiture proceedings.
The EFCC, however, rejected Alison-Madueke’s allegations, maintaining that the forfeiture cases were lawfully adjudicated over time.
Justice Ekwo adjourned the case to February 17, 2025, to consider the motion to amend the originating process.
