By Prosper Mene 

The Nigerian Army has detained a female soldier stationed at a military facility in Lagos following allegations of theft, according to a statement released by the Army’s Directorate of Public Relations on Tuesday. The soldier, whose name and rank have not been disclosed to protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation, is currently in military custody as authorities probe the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Major General Onyema Nwachukwu, the Army’s spokesperson, provided details in a press briefing, stating that the soldier was apprehended after a formal complaint was lodged regarding the disappearance of valuable personal belongings from personnel within the barracks. “The Nigerian Army upholds the highest standards of discipline and professionalism. Following a report of suspected theft, the implicated soldier was detained, and we have initiated a comprehensive investigation to uncover the truth,” Nwachukwu said.

Sources close to the investigation, speaking on condition of anonymity, revealed that the alleged theft involved items such as electronics, cash, and personal effects belonging to fellow soldiers in the barracks. The incident reportedly came to light after a series of complaints from affected personnel, prompting the military police to conduct a preliminary inquiry. The inquiry led to the identification of the female soldier as a person of interest, resulting in her immediate detention.

The Nigerian Army has emphasized that the investigation will be thorough and impartial, with a commitment to following due process. “We assure all parties involved that no stone will be left unturned. If the soldier is found guilty, she will face the full weight of military justice in accordance with our regulations,” Nwachukwu added. He also urged the public to refrain from speculation, as premature conclusions could undermine the investigation.

The Nigerian Army has recently introduced measures to enhance accountability, including regular audits of facilities and stricter oversight of personnel conduct.

The detained soldier is being held at a military facility in Lagos, pending the outcome of the investigation. Authorities have not provided a timeline for the completion of the probe but have promised to release further details as they become available.

The Nigerian Army has called for calm and reiterated its commitment to transparency and fairness in handling the case. Updates are expected as the investigation progresses, with the military assuring stakeholders that justice will be served.

by Women Times on

By Prosper Mene 

Billie Eilish dominated the 2025 American Music Awards (AMAs), held on May 26 at the Fontainebleau Resort in Las Vegas, securing victories in all seven categories for which she was nominated. The 23-year-old pop sensation solidified her status as a generational talent, taking home top honors including Artist of the Year, Album of the Year for Hit Me Hard and Soft, and Song of the Year for her hit single “Birds of a Feather.”

Eilish, who was unable to attend the ceremony due to her ongoing Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour, delivered heartfelt virtual acceptance speeches, expressing gratitude to her fans. “Oh my God, Artist of the Year, this is so crazy,” Eilish said in one of her recorded messages. “I feel speechless, thank you all so much, I love you so much.” Her other wins included Favorite Touring Artist, Favorite Female Pop Artist, Favorite Pop Album, and Favorite Pop Song, marking a flawless sweep at the fan-voted awards show.

The 2025 AMAs, hosted by Jennifer Lopez, marked the return of the ceremony after a two-year hiatus. The event featured electrifying performances, including a show-opening medley by Lopez that incorporated hits from nominees like Eilish, Beyoncé, and Sabrina Carpenter. Other highlights included Janet Jackson’s first television performance in seven years, following her receipt of the Icon Award, and Rod Stewart closing the night with “Forever Young” after receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award, presented by five of his children.

Eilish’s seven wins outshone other major nominees, including Kendrick Lamar, who led with 10 nominations but took home only one award for Favorite Hip-Hop Song with “Not Like Us.” Beyoncé earned two awards, Favorite Female Country Artist and Favorite Country Album for Cowboy Carter while Eminem marked a triumphant return, winning Favorite Male Hip-Hop Artist and Favorite Hip-Hop Album for The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), his first AMA wins in 15 years.

Natasha’s Lawyers Vow Robust Defense Against FG’s Defamation Suit Involving Akpabio

by Women Times on

By Prosper Mene 

The legal team of suspended Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has confirmed receipt of a formal summons from the Federal Government in a defamation suit filed against her, involving Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello. The team, led by Michael Numa (SAN), stated they are prepared to present a vigorous defense in court at the appropriate time.

The suit, filed on May 16, 2025, at the Federal Capital Territory High Court (CR/297/25), accuses Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan of making defamatory remarks during a live broadcast on Channels Television’s Politics Today on April 3, 2025. The Federal Government alleges that the senator claimed Akpabio and Bello plotted to assassinate her, statements deemed harmful to their reputations under Section 391 of the Penal Code, CAP 89, Laws of the Federation, 1990. The offense is punishable under Section 392 of the same law.

In a statement issued on Saturday, Akpoti-Uduaghan’s lawyers confirmed receiving the court documents on May 23, 2025, and expressed confidence in their defense strategy. “We have received the information filed by the Director of Public Prosecutions containing three counts bordering on allegations that our client made imputations which she had reason to believe would harm the reputation of Senator Godswill Akpabio,” the statement read. “We will present our defenses in court with factual evidence at the appropriate time.”

The legal team also addressed the broader context, noting that Akpoti-Uduaghan’s suspension from the Senate on March 6, 2025, for “gross misconduct” following a seating arrangement dispute with Akpabio, has fueled tensions. The senator has maintained that her suspension was politically motivated to silence her and has filed a separate suit challenging it, with a ruling expected on June 27, 2025.

The Federal Government has listed Akpabio, Bello, Senator Asuquo Ekpenyong, Sandra Duru, Maya Iliya, and Abdulhafiz Garba as witnesses in the defamation case. The allegations stem from Akpoti-Uduaghan’s claims that Akpabio instructed Bello to orchestrate her assassination in a manner that would appear as a mob attack, as well as earlier accusations of sexual harassment against her.

This legal battle has drawn significant attention, with Akpoti-Uduaghan’s team accusing Akpabio of attempting to suppress her voice through judicial processes. They argue that her right to free speech, including political satire, is being unfairly targeted. The case underscores broader issues of gender dynamics in Nigerian politics, as highlighted by North Central women’s groups calling for greater protections for women in political roles.

As the court date approaches, the nation awaits a high-profile legal showdown that could have far-reaching implications for political discourse and accountability in Nigeria.

North Central Women Urge President Tinubu to Champion Women’s Rights in Politics

by Women Times on

By Prosper Mene 

A coalition of women’s groups from Nigeria’s North Central region has called on President Bola Tinubu to take decisive action to uphold and advance the rights of women in politics. The appeal, made during a press conference in Abuja, highlights the urgent need for policies and reforms to ensure greater female representation and participation in the country’s political landscape.

The group, comprising women leaders, activists, and professionals from Benue, Kwara, Kogi, Plateau, Niger, Nasarawa, and the Federal Capital Territory, emphasized that women in the region have been historically underrepresented in political leadership despite their significant contributions to grassroots mobilization and community development. They urged President Tinubu to prioritize gender-inclusive policies to address systemic barriers that limit women’s access to political offices.

“We call on President Tinubu to honor his commitment to national unity by ensuring women’s voices are not only heard but amplified in Nigeria’s political sphere,” said Mrs. Esther Aondowase, spokesperson for the coalition. “Women in the North Central region are ready to lead, but we need deliberate support to break the glass ceiling in politics.”

The coalition specifically demanded the implementation of affirmative action policies, including quotas for women in political appointments and party candidacy lists, as well as increased funding for women-led political campaigns. They also called for stronger legal protections against gender-based discrimination and violence targeting women in politics.

Citing the recent appointment of Bianca Ojukwu and other women to Tinubu’s cabinet as a positive step, the group expressed hope that the administration would build on this momentum to create a more equitable political environment. However, they stressed that more comprehensive measures are needed to address deep-rooted challenges.

The women also referenced the region’s broader push for political inclusion, noting that North Central stakeholders have previously demanded greater representation in national leadership, including the presidency in 2027. They argued that advancing women’s political rights aligns with the region’s quest for equity and could strengthen Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

The coalition concluded by urging the President to engage with women’s groups across Nigeria to develop a national strategy for gender parity in politics, emphasizing that empowering women is critical to the nation’s democratic and economic progress.

by Women Times on

By Prosper Mene 

The Federal Government of Nigeria has filed a criminal lawsuit against suspended Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, accusing her of making defamatory statements during a live television interview. The suit, lodged on May 16, 2025, at the Federal Capital Territory High Court and marked CR/297/25, names Akpoti-Uduaghan as the sole defendant.

According to court documents, the charges comes from comments the senator made on Channels Television’s Politics Today on April 3, 2025. The government alleges that her statements were defamatory and intended to harm the reputation of certain individuals, violating Section 391 of the Penal Code, which carries penalties under Section 392. Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello are listed as nominal complainants and are expected to testify against her.

The specific remarks were not detailed in the suit, but sources indicate they relate to ongoing disputes involving Akpoti-Uduaghan, who has been embroiled in multiple legal battles. The senator, currently serving a six-month suspension from the Senate for alleged misconduct, has faced separate defamation lawsuits, including a N250 billion claim by Akpabio’s wife, Ekaette Unoma, over alleged sexual harassment accusations against the Senate President, and a N5 billion suit against Senator Onyekachi Nwaebonyi for remarks made on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily.

Akpoti-Uduaghan, a prominent figure and the first female senator from Kogi State, has maintained that her suspension and the legal actions against her are attempts to silence her advocacy for women’s rights and good governance. Her legal team has yet to respond publicly to the federal government’s suit, and no court date has been set for the hearing.

The case has kick started a debate, with some Nigerians questioning the timing of the charges, given Akpoti-Uduaghan’s vocal criticism of political figures. Others see it as part of efforts to address defamatory statements in public discourse. From indications, the case is likely to draw significant attention due to the senator’s high-profile status and the involvement of key political figures.
