Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of an Abuja Federal High Court has ruled in favour of Citizen Agba Jalingo, publisher of CrossRiverWatch, dismissing the charges brought against him by Mrs. Elizabeth Alami Ayade.

Alami Ayade is the wife of Frank Ayade, the younger brother of a former Governor of Cross River State, Senator Ben Ayade.

Mrs. Ayade had filed a petition with the police, leading to Jalingo’s arrest and subsequent charges under the Cybercrimes Act.

The charges stemmed from a Facebook post regarding examination malpractice at the Abuja campus of the Nigerian Law School, which Mrs. Ayade claimed caused her “ill will” and “insult.”

However, the court has now discharged and acquitted Jalingo of all charges.

On May 8, 2024, SaharaReporters reported that the prosecution had closed its cyberstalking case against Agba Jalingo in the criminal suit filed by Alami Ayade.

According to a court document filed before the Federal High Court in Abuja on December 6, 2022, the police claimed a publication by the journalist against Elizabeth Alami Ayade was false and was released for the purpose of causing her annoyance, ill will, and insult.

Citizen Jalingo was later arraigned on charges bordering on false publication intended to cause, “annoyance, ill will and insult,” on the person of Mrs. Ayade.

He was accused of committing offences punishable by Section 24 (1)b of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, Etc) Act 2015, Court documents in suit number FHC/ABJ/CR/565/2022 show.

Police Arrest Man Who Killed Friend After Obtaining Money From Him Under False Pretense.

Police operatives in Yobe State have arrested a 24-year-old businessman, identified as Yunus Isa, in connection with the d£@th of his friend and business partner, Lawan Adamu.

It was gathered that the suspect allegedly caused the d£@th of the deceased in an attempt to avoid repaying a N500,000 loan he had borrowed from him.

SaharaReporters reports that the deceased and Isa were traders, selling engine oil and other lubricants in Damaturu, the Yobe State capital.
He reportedly took the N500,000 credit facility on false pretence of starting a new outlet with an agreed profit sharing formula. But he later used the capital to marry a wife.
After repeated failure to remit the agreed percentage of the sharing formula, Lawan demanded a refund of his capital, consequent upon which Isa lured his victim to a solitary area of Shago Tara, and st@bbed him multiple times.

He committed the act on Sunday, September 15 and was arrested the following day, September 16.

“Upon realising that Bello came with the governor and some dignitaries, the Executive Chairman directed that no official should attend to him.

“His manner of coming to EFCC was a breach of our protocol. No Nigerian, no matter how highly placed, is expected to come for an invitation in a convoy of vehicles and with a sitting governor.

“To the EFCC, he came with grandeur which is contrary to our procedures.

“There are stages of documentation which Bello skipped because he was with the governor who has immunity.

“The EFCC also did not invite the governor. So, what was the basis for accompanying Bello to our headquarters in Abuja?

“We have not been comfortable with the roles of the governor in this case.

“After fulfilling all procedures of documentation, Bello was expected to come with his lawyer(s) and not a governor or Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs).

“We cannot be intimidated or subject our system to political pollution.

“This made the Executive Chairman of EFCC to direct that no official should attend to Bello. He must undergo due process like every invitee.

“The commission was unhappy with the pre-emptive propaganda in the media by Bello’s team which had created false impressions.

“There was a narration that the ex-governor was already in EFCC’s custody.” A source told The Nation.
