CLARIFICATION ON THE ISSUES RAISED BY HON. WYCLIFFE OPARANYA’S LAWYERS REGARDING HIS INTEGRITY CLEARANCE BY EACC In a letter dated 1st August, 2024 addressed to the National Assembly and widely circulated to media houses, Advocates for Hon. Wycliffe Ambetsa Oparanya, Cabinet Nominee for the Ministry of Cooperatives & MSME Development, have accused EACC of acting with malice in holding that Hon. Oparanya still has an outstanding corruption case despite the "DPP having withdrawn/ recalled his earlier approval of the EACC recommendations to prosecute the former Governor." The Commission distances itself from these accusations by Oparanya’s lawyer Ken Nyaundi, who is also a suspect in the case, and clarifies that while it is true that on 25th July 2024, the ODPP delivered to the Commission a letter dated 8th July 2024 withdrawing the DPP’s decision of 18th December, 2023 that had granted EACC consent to charge Oparanya, the Commission did not accept the DPP’s u-turn on the matter. Instead, the Commission wrote back to the DPP reiterating its earlier recommendation to charge all suspects, including Hon. Wycliffe Oparanya and his lawyer Ken Nyaundi. The decision of EACC not to comply with the DPP's directive that the file be closed and the case terminated was informed by the Commission's detailed reasons in its response to him, including the cogent evidence on record, which the DPP had earlier found sufficient in granting consent to prosecute the suspects for conspiracy to commit an offence of corruption, abuse of office, conflict of interest and money laundering. Therefore, the allegation by Hon. Wycliffe Oparanya’s Advocate and co-suspect, Ken Nyaundi, that EACC acted with malice and misled the National Assembly about the existence of a corruption case against Oparanya is false and without merit. #TuangamizeUfisadiTuijengeKenya

Kitutu, her brother Michael Naboya Kitutu and Joshua Abaho, a senior assistant secretary at the Office of the Prime Minister, are accused of causing loss of public property, conspiracy to defraud and being in possession of suspected stolen property over 9,000 pre-painted gauge 28 iron sheets meant for vulnerable Karamojongs.

ICE arrest Virginia man in courthouse raid—right after judge dismissed case against him. 'Agents' had no badges, refused to show warrant, then put him in unmarked van. "Do not touch me or impede me in my lawful duty," the 'agent' in pink shirt—who seems to be in charge—can be heard saying. "That is a crime for you to do so. Do you understand?" "It is highly alarming that ICE would show up to court and detain persons whose charges were dismissed without identifying themselves," said his public defender in Charlottesville, Virginia. Where the man has been taken and what charges he faces have still not been disclosed. #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #DemsUnited

Pule Mabe Speaks Outside Court, Ready for Trial Amid Corruption Case Former ANC National spokesperson Pule Mabe spoke to reporters outside the Palm Ridge Magistrate’s Court this morning, 18 February 2026, as he appeared in connection with his corruption case. He said his legal team has expanded its representations to the National Prosecuting Authority after their initial submissions were not considered for failing to address substantive issues. Mabe added that they have requested further particulars and may supplement their submissions again before 4 March. He also questioned the authority of officials who opened the case and pointed out what he sees as contradictions, noting that while the prosecution says investigations are complete, his previous lawyers were contacted in December 2025 for additional information. Mabe emphasized that they are ready for trial and have approached the High Court to challenge the proclamation and certain forensic processes. Pule Mabe and several co-accused face fraud, corruption, theft, money-laundering, and procurement-related charges linked to an allegedly irregular R27 million tender awarded to his company, Enviro Mobi, in 2017.

Trump and his team know the full depth of the corruption, and they already made the decision that there must be consequences long ago. The difficult part, is getting the public to recognize just how bad it is. They must understand WHY high-profile people must go to prison. That’s what we are witnessing now. Trump and his team have been showing us all the various corruption, like the Russiagate hoax, Covid, USAID, JFK files, voter fraud, Epstein, January 6th, Antifa, widespread embezzlement/money laundering, etc. Trump is making a case directly to the American People and winning the court of public opinion BEFORE the big arrests, because it’s necessary for NATSEC. The People are being shown the magnitude of corruption, so when the time comes, they are not only aware of what’s going on, they will be in agreement that heads must roll. This operation has been in motion since Trump’s first term. This has always been the plan.

The American ambassador to Zimbabwe, Pamela Tremont, said investment does not come where there is a high cost of doing business through corruption, she said such an environment is corrosive. She said this in Harare this week while speaking at the 249th American Independence commemoration. Pamela Tremont likened corruption to a cancer draining Zimbabwe of its valuable resources, warning that it has severely undermined trade and investment in the country. “A strong stance against corruption is also imperative, as it is corrosive to an investment climate. I strongly encourage efforts to fight this cancer in Zimbabwe’s economy that robs the Zimbabwean people of the benefit of their precious resources and raises exponentially the cost of doing business in Zimbabwe,” she said. Zimbabwe is the most corrupt country in Southern Africa, and most of this corruption is driven by Emmerson Mnangagwa himself and his criminal cartels. He stole US$3 billion in his first month as president through Command Agriculture, after toppling Robert Mugabe in a military coup led by his now Vice President, General Constantino Chiwenga, whom he has vowed will never succeed him. In 2017 when he came to power, Zimbabwe ranked 157th out of 180 countries on Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), with a score of 22 out of 100, indicating a high level of perceived public sector corruption . As of the latest available data for 2024, Zimbabwe’s CPI score has declined to 21 out of 100, placing it at 158th out of 180 countries. This marks its worst performance since 2015 and as I said earlier, positions Zimbabwe as the most corrupt country in the SADC region.

🚨BREAKING: After 3½ Years, Crown’s Case Against Csaba Vizi Collapses in Just 6 Minutes🚨 Timeline of the Csaba Vizi Case – Collapse of the Crown’s Prosecution February 19, 2022 – Arrest and Charges Csaba Vizi, a trucker participating in the Ottawa Freedom Convoy, was arrested during the police operation to clear downtown Ottawa. He was charged with four offences: - Resisting arrest - Mischief (two counts) - Disobeying a court order (the “no-honking” injunction) Vizi alleged that despite kneeling and attempting to comply, he was assaulted by police during the arrest, leaving him with injuries. (Video attached below) Before September 25, 2025 – Charges Narrowed Over time, two charges were withdrawn by the Crown: the resisting arrest charge and one mischief count. By September 2025, only two remained: - Mischief (single count) - Disobeying a court order September 25, 2025 – Charter Ruling 9:15 AM – Justice Macfarlane delivers his decision on the defence Charter application. - “Vacuum of evidence”: no arresting officer testified, no video of the arrest, and no clear evidence of who arrested Vizi. (Note: The arrest video exists; it was of his beating. Presumably this is why the Crown didn't provide it as evidence to the Court.) - The arrest was ruled unlawful, making the subsequent search unlawful. - Seizure of Vizi’s driver’s licence deemed an unreasonable search. - s. 10a breach: Police failed to explain the alleged court order adequately. - s. 10b breach: Inconsistent evidence about access to counsel. - s. 24(2): Video evidence obtained through these breaches was ruled inadmissible. With no evidence left, the Crown still failed to withdraw. The matter was adjourned to October 3 to determine whether a trial would proceed. October 3, 2025 – Acquittal 9:45 AM – Court convened to decide if a December trial would move forward. Early confusion: No Crown was present; defence counsel, Ms. Magas, and Vizi (via Zoom) were already in place. 9:57 AM – Fill-in Crown Wlodarczyk arrived. 9:59 AM – Judge re-entered. 10:00 AM – The Crown conceded, stating they would call no further evidence and requested an acquittal. 10:01 AM – Justice Macfarlane entered Not Guilty verdicts on both charges. 10:05 AM – Court concluded. The collapse of a case that dragged on for more than three years was over in just six minutes. Key Takeaway The Crown pursued this prosecution, despite a glaring lack of evidence, repeated Charter violations, and a failure even to call the arresting officer as a witness. Mr. Vizi endured years of stress, legal battles, costs, and uncertainty — only to have the court find that there was never enough evidence to justify a trial. The Crown arrived in court unprepared, disorganized, and unable to meet the most basic evidentiary standard. Justice was delayed for years, then delivered in a matter of minutes. Here is the arrest video 👇👇👇

Today was an extremely difficult day in the Superior Courts. John Hiney, a State Solicitor acting on behalf of the Chief State Solicitor’s Office and under the oversight of the Office of the Attorney General, has sworn multiple affidavits which I can demonstrate are false and misleading, in what I believe constitutes breaches of the Criminal Justice (Perjury and Related Offences) Act 2021 and the Criminal Justice (Corruption Offences) Act 2018. When I attempted to lawfully effect an arrest under Section 4 of the Criminal Law Act 1997, members of An Garda Síochána intervened, obstructed that arrest, and subjected me to physical force, including being pepper sprayed, thrown against a court bench, and struck in a way that caused significant injury to my knee. I am now receiving medical treatment in St. James’s Hospital for suspected ligament damage. Unfortunately, this is how certain individuals within the State apparatus respond when an ordinary citizen confronts what appears to be serious misconduct within public offices. I will, however, be back before the High Court on Monday, continuing to assist people in their pursuit of justice and ensuring that those responsible for today’s actions are held fully accountable.

SEVEN HOURS AFTER, POLICEMEN SENT BY IGP CONTINUES TO LAY SIEGE ON HOME OF CHIOMA OKOLI OVER ERISCO TOMATO REVIEW Armed policemen are still laying siege on the private residence of Chioma Edoka Okoli more than seven hours after they invaded her home. They’ve called for reinforcement are waiting for orders from the IGP to break into her home at Sangotedo where she is living with her baby and re-arrest. They have not produced any court order authorizing them to re-arrest Chioma. This is the result of years of lawlessness and impunity in the country. The IGP has overruled the order made on November 8, 2023 by Hon. Justice Bogoro of the Federal High Court in Lagos that my client must not be re-arrested or detained except on the express order of a court of competent jurisdiction if she is served with a summons and she fails to appear in court. They have not served Chioma with any summons or charge. They secretly filed a charge against her at the Federal High Court in Abuja (instead of Lagos where the case arose) which pending before Hon. Justice A. R. Mohammed. When the case in Abuja came up on 7th December, 2023, the police told the court that they were unable to serve her with the charge (this is a lie because she was never in hiding and no attempt was made to serve her). The police counsel then applied for adjournment to enable them file a motion to get leave (permission) to serve Chioma with the charge by substituted means. The case was adjourned to tomorrow 10th January, 2024 for the said motion. Justice Mohammed did not make any order for the arrest of Chioma. Indeed, the court said the issue of arrest warrant does not arise since the Defendant had not been served with the charge. Instead of going back to court to get the leave to serve her with the charge, the IGP ordered his men this morning to raid the house of my client and forcefully arrest her without a court order. How can the police file a charge in court and still disregard the orders of the same court? Is the IGP working for ERISCO FOODS LIMITED and Chief Eric Umeofia? The policemen in large numbers are still laying siege on the house. The head of the team told me pointedly that he can’t obey a court order when the IGP has given him a contrary directive. He said the PSO to the IGP called him directly. Is Nigeria a banana republic?

Concerns are growing within the Zimbabwean media fraternity about the deteriorating situation and wellbeing of local journalist Blessed Mhlanga after a warrant of arrest was issued for him on March 9 following his failure to appear at the Harare Magistrates' Court for the continuation of his trial. Mhlanga did not attend court after his high-profile speech which he gave at the Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy, where he denounced the Zimbabwean regime's "weaponisation of the law". On his way from Geneva, Mhlanga sought medical attention in South Africa where he remains while now being hunted down from home by law enforcement agents. He had previously been denied his passport to travel to seek critical medical treatment in South Africa after he fell ill while in jail. Mhlanga faces charges of transmitting data messages intended to incite public violence, stemming from 2025 online Heart & Soul TV broadcasts that allegedly called for the removal of President Emmerson Mnangagwa during interviews with the late war veterans leader Blessed Geza. Mhlanga was arrested on February 24, 2025. He was charged with two counts of "transmitting data messages inciting violence or damage to property" under the Cyber and Data Protection Act. Following that, he was held in pre-trial detention for 73 days. Mhlanga described his time in Harare Remand Prison as "hell on earth," citing overcrowded, bedbug-infested cells and dehumanising treatment by guards. Organisations such as Committee to Protect Journalists, Reporters Without Borders, and Amnesty International have labelled his arrest a "travesty of justice" and called for all charges to be dropped. During his arrest, he was denied bail three times by various courts. He was finally granted bail on 6 May 2025 under strict conditions, including surrendering his passport and reporting to the police weekly. Nine days ago, Harare magistrate Sheunesu Matova issued the warrant of arrest for him after he missed his scheduled court appearance, with defence his lawyers citing medical treatment in South Africa. The matter is postponed to April 10, 2026 for a default inquiry to verify his absence. The Zimbabwean government has dismissed these concerns, with Information Minister Zhemu Soda calling Mhlanga’s international speeches "malicious". Some ruling Zanu PF hardliners have urged parliament to strip him of his passport for "unpatriotic conduct", while some media actors are calling the UN to protect him from further harm.

‼️António Costa, the EU's Council new President, has a dark secret: he was CAUGHT ON WIRETAPS trying to interfere in the Casa Pia PEDOPHILIA scandal! While children suffered, Costa allegedly pulled strings to protect his political allies. Sound familiar, Elon Musk? Just like Keir Starmer's scandal with grooming gangs in the UK, where justice was allegedly bent for political gain. How can someone with this SHADY past lead the EU? The Casa Pia scandal was one of the largest child sexual abuse cases in Portugal, involving little boys from state-run orphanages. It became public in 2002 with allegations against several high-profile figures, including politicians, diplomats, and entertainers, for running a child prostitution ring. During the investigation, wiretaps were conducted to gather evidence. These wiretaps captured conversations involving António Costa, suggesting he tried to interfere with the justice process. Specifically, by attempting to influence the judicial proceedings to prevent the arrest of the Socialist Party deputy Paulo Pedroso, accused in the scandal. Although the wiretaps stirred significant public debate and criticism, no formal charges were brought against Costa for these actions. Paulo Pedroso was eventually acquitted in 2008 after being detained and facing trial. António Costa has since held several high-profile positions, including Prime Minister of Portugal and now President of the European Council, elected in June 2024.

Alleged Cybercrime: Court Reserves Ruling on Sowore’s Bid to Vacate Arrest Warrant, Remains in Kuje Custody Activist and politician, Omoyele Sowore, will remain in custody at the Kuje Correctional Centre until June 30, when a Federal High Court in Abuja is expected to rule on his application seeking to set aside a bench warrant issued for his arrest and the revocation of his bail. At Wednesday’s proceedings, Raphael Adakole, appearing for Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) Adeyinka Fusika, urged the court to vacate the June 16 order that revoked Sowore’s bail after he failed to appear for trial on that date. The defence also asked the court to withdraw the bench warrant issued against the defendant and restore the original bail conditions previously granted to him. However, lead prosecutor, Akinlolu Kehinde SAN, opposed the application, arguing that the defendant had not presented sufficient and truthful facts to justify the court’s exercise of discretion in his favour. Adakole further appealed for Sowore’s release into the custody of his legal team pending the court’s decision, assuring the court that the defendant would continue to attend all future proceedings. He cited Sowore’s health condition as a basis for the request. Responding to the application, the prosecution said it would leave the matter to the court’s discretion but urged the judge to consider what it described as “the optics of the matter.” Justice Muhammad Umar stated that he had not yet reviewed all the affidavits and counter-affidavits filed by both parties and would require additional time to study the documents before making a decision. The judge noted that granting the request for Sowore’s temporary release could amount to determining the substantive application before delivering a ruling. He subsequently declined the defence’s request and adjourned the matter until June 30 for ruling. The Federal Government is prosecuting Sowore over allegations that he made defamatory and false claims against President Bola Tinubu by describing him as “a criminal” in posts published on his X and Facebook accounts. The case was initially filed by the Department of State Services (DSS) before being taken over by the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation. Outside the courtroom, dozens of Sowore’s supporters gathered at the Federal High Court premises, displaying placards and chanting slogans in protest against the authorities. Security was significantly heightened around the court complex throughout Wednesday’s proceedings.
