Ogun Gov. Set To Start Off Abeokuta Court of Appeal Construction
Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun has announced that his administration will expedite the construction of the Abeokuta Division of the Court of Appeal, recently approved by the President of the Court for the state.
Governor Abiodun made the statement at the State Treasury Board meeting for the 2025–2028 Medium Term Expenditure Framework, MTEF, and the 2026 Budget, held at the Oba’s Complex, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, on Thursday.
He stated that the state had provided land for the construction of the Court of Appeal near the Judiciary Complex along Kobape Road, Abeokuta, and would not wait for the Federal Government before commencing work, due to the court’s importance in the delivery of justice in the state.
Abiodun emphasised that his administration would finance the building of the complex, pending reimbursement by the Federal Government for undertaking the project.
According to the governor, having a Court of Appeal in the state would be a major achievement requiring every form of support, adding that he was determined to ensure the court in Abeokuta is operational before the end of his tenure.
He commended the President of the Court of Appeal for approving the establishment of the Abeokuta Division, noting that, in addition to easing the workload of the Ibadan Division, it would also facilitate the swift dispensation of justice in the state.
Governor Abiodun also expressed appreciation to the judiciary for being the last hope of the common citizen, noting that his administration had benefited from the support and cooperation of the judicial arm of government, which had contributed to the successes recorded by his administration.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
