The police on Monday arraigned five men before the Lagos State High Court in Tafa Balewa Square for allegedly making a false statement of criminal allegation to the police against the Elegushi of Ikate land, Oba Saheed Elegushi.

 

The defendants who were arraigned before Justice Ibironke Harrison are Adeigbagbo Harrison, Prince Toluwoleke Megba, Harrison Soji, Megbalewon Adeniji James and Segun Ekomale (Ikuomola).

 

The defendants whose residential addresses were not given are facing eight counts bordering on conspiracy, making false statements, and impersonation preferred against them by the police.

 

The police prosecution counsel, M. Animashaun, told the court that the defendants and others still at large conspired amongst themselves and made false statements to the public officer at the Force Criminal Investigation Department Alagbon, Ikoyi Lagos.

 

He told the court that on the same day, the defendants made a false statement of criminal allegation to the police against the Al-Mansour family, the information they knew or ought to have known was false.

The prosecutor further told the court that the defendants also made false statements to the police against Mr Chinedu Nweke, Chief Ogunyemi John, and Monsunmola Ogunyemi.

 

Animashaun said the alleged offence was committed on November 30, 2022.

 

The prosecutor also told the court that the first defendant, Adeigbagbo

 

Harrison, between January and February 1, 2023, at the Itedo community in Ibeju Lekki, with intent to defraud, falsely presented himself as Oni Itedo, the paramount ruler of the Itedo community.

 

Animashaun alleged that after Adeigbagbo Harrison falsely assumed the position of the paramount ruler of Itedo community, he conducted himself in a disorderly manner by inciting the youths and members of the Itedo community against Oba Elegushi, conduct which is likely to cause a breach of public peace.

 

According to the prosecutor, the offences committed contravened Sections 96, (a), 95, 380 (1) and 56 (1) (a), of the criminal laws of Lagos State 2015.

 

However, the defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges against them.

 

Following their not guilty pleas the prosecutor asked the court for a trial date and also urged the court to remand them at the Ikoyi Correctional Centre.

 

But the defendants counsel Ebun Olu- Adegboruwa (SAN), told the court that the defence had filed bail application for the defendants and then asked the court to allow the defendants continue with the administrative bail earlier granted them by the police.

 

He said,”They have been attending court faithfully and in furtherance of the pending application for bail we humbly urge my lord to allow the defendants to continue to enjoy the administrative bail granted to them by the police pending the hearing and determination of the application for bail”.

 

In her ruling Justice Harrison granted the request of the defence counsel.

 

She held that the court had observed that all the defendants have been attending court faithfully.

 

“ The defendants are to continue with the administrative bail granted to them by the police pending the hearing of the bail application,” she said.

 

The case was adjourned till April 8, 2025.

Tinubu rules out return to fuel subsidy, defends reforms

President Bola Tinubu has ruled out a return to Nigeria’s petrol subsidy regime, urging Nigerians to resist calls to reverse his administration’s economic reforms.   Tinubu made the declaration in his Independence Day address on Thursday, October 1, 2026, as Nigeria marked its 66th anniversary. The President defended the reforms introduced since he assumed office in 2023, saying they were designed to tackle longstanding weaknesses in the economy rather than merely ease their effects. “Our reforms did not create the weaknesses in our economy. They confronted them,” Tinubu said. ‘We must resist their siren song’ Tinubu acknowledged that the reforms had been difficult and that their “side effects were real”, but argued that abandoning them would amount to returning to policies that had failed to address the country’s underlying economic problems. He warned against calls from what he described as “certain influential but regressive voices” to abandon the reforms and return to subsidy arrangements. “Now, as certain influential but regressive voices would have us abandon the treatment and return ourselves to the abuse of addictive subsidies, we must resist their siren song,” he said. “We must remember why we began this journey and how far we have already come.” Using the analogy of a cancer patient undergoing painful but necessary treatment, Tinubu said previous governments had focused on easing economic symptoms while allowing underlying problems to worsen. “Nigeria was like a sick patient who receives the terrible news that he has cancer,” he said. “His doctor explains that the treatment will be difficult and painful, but that it offers a strong prospect of recovery. The patient has a choice. He can begin treatment, endure its discomfort and fight the disease. Or he can ask only for morphine, dull the pain and leave the cancer to spread.” “For too long, Nigeria’s leaders chose morphine while praying for a miracle that never came,” the President added. Tinubu cites economic gains Defending his administration’s record, Tinubu said Nigeria’s economic outlook had improved, citing economic growth of more than four per cent in 2026 and contributions from both the oil and non-oil sectors. He also said oil theft had declined, inflation had fallen substantially from its peak, foreign reserves had been rebuilt and the foreign exchange market had stabilised. According to the President, Nigeria recorded more than $6bn in non-oil export revenue in 2025, which he described as the highest in the country’s history. “These are not idle claims. International observers, journalists, NGOs and multilateral institutions can see the change,” Tinubu said. He added that the government was moving from economic correction towards greater emphasis on jobs, production and widespread prosperity.
