Senior Advocate of Nigeria Seeks to Withdraw from Representing Former Governor Yahaya Bello

Adeola Adedipe, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), applied to the Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday, June 27, to withdraw his representation for former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello.
ABello faces 19 charges, including money laundering and misappropriation of N80.2 billion in public funds.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) requested the court to sanction Bello’s lawyers for failing to ensure his presence in court, as previously promised.
EFCC’s lead counsel, Kemi Pinhero, SAN, argued that the lawyers should be docked and disciplined for breaching professional conduct rules.
Adedipe, SAN, refuted these claims, stating he was not Bello’s lead counsel and had not made any undertaking to secure Bello’s presence.
He accused the EFCC of disrespecting the court by not executing the arrest warrant for Bello and revealed that his team was unaware of Bello’s whereabouts.
Given the circumstances, Adedipe moved to withdraw from the case under section 349(8) of the ACJA, 2015.
However, the EFCC opposed this, labeling it an afterthought and urging the court to reject the withdrawal request. The court, presided by Justice Emeka Nwite, has yet to rule on the matter.

Atiku Says Tinubu’s Fuel Subsidy Removal Caused More Hunger and Suffering

Atiku Abubakar has come down hard on President Bola Tinubu, blaming his swift removal of fuel subsidy for the economic pain many Nigerians are facing today. According to the former Vice President, the decision has only deepened inflation, hunger, and hopelessness across the country. Also, he slammed the arrest and ongoing detention of labour activist Comrade Andrew Uche Emelieze, calling it a direct attack on democracy and a clear warning sign of rising authoritarianism under Tinubu’s leadership.
In a statement released Sunday, Atiku accused the government of breaking its promise to workers. He pointed to the N35,000 wage award Tinubu promised as a temporary relief measure, saying it has now turned into yet another unfulfilled pledge. Emelieze was reportedly arrested while trying to lead a peaceful protest demanding the payment of that very wage award.
Atiku showed concern that it took the government almost a year to settle on a new minimum wage, describing the delay as unacceptable. He praised state governments that have handled labour matters better, contrasting them with the federal government, which he said has shown little to no concern for the welfare of Nigerian workers.
Finally, Atiku demanded the immediate and unconditional release of Emelieze and urged the government to stop using fear and repression as a response to citizens’ cries. “Nigerian workers are suffering,” he said. “The government needs to step up and respond with solutions, not silence or suppression.”
