WATCH: Buganda Road Chief Magistrate Court has rejected an interim bail application by maverick lawyer Male Mabirizi Kiwanuka, who is on remand over TikTok posts targeting Chief Justice Flavian Zeija and Court of Appeal Justice Musa Ssekaana. The ruling gives the State time to verify the proposed sureties. Magistrate Ritah Neube Kidasa said it would be “illogical” to release an accused before assessing the suitability of the sureties, emphasising that while an accused has a constitutional right to apply for bail, the prosecution’s response must also be considered. Mabirizi, currently on remand at Luzira Prison, is charged under the Computer Misuse Act and has been further remanded until March 27, 2026. #MonitorUpdates 📹: Juliet Kigongo

UPDATE: The Office of the DPP says it will appeal the acquittal of former Bukwo District LC5 chairperson Chelimo Julius Moses, who was cleared by the International Crimes Division of the High Court of charges of aggravated defilement and aggravated trafficking in children, allegedly committed in October 2021. Justice Duncan Gaswaga ruled that the prosecution failed to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt, but prosecutors argue it is inconsistent to acquit the alleged prime suspect when two co-accused pleaded guilty and were convicted. Despite the acquittal, Chelimo remains in custody over similar charges before another court. #MonitorUpdates 📹 Juliet Kigongo

In his ruling, Magistrate Kayizzi noted that while the accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty, her non-Ugandan status raises concerns of being a potential flight risk as stated by the Assistant DPP Joan Keko. He further emphasised that none of the sureties presented demonstrated the financial capacity to meet the bond obligations should the accused abscond thus adjourning the case to September 10. #MonitorUpdates 📹: Juliet Kigongo

The High Court on Monday dismissed a case against three brothers, Bharat Ramji, Harish Ramji and Ashvin Ramji, who were arrested by DCI over allegations of forging NSSF transfer documents to obtain land in Athi River, citing an active stay order from the Court of Appeal that barred any prosecution or arrest linked to the matter. Chief Magistrate Dolphina Alego ruled that proceeding with the charges would create fertile ground for conflicting judicial decisions, given that the land dispute is already under review in multiple courts, including the Supreme Court, and that the charge sheet referred to the same land covered by the earlier appellate ruling. The Ramji brothers had challenged the dismissal of their judicial review case in Kiambu, prompting the September 20, 2024, order from a three-judge Court of Appeal bench led by Justices Lesiit, Mativo, and Gachoka, which explicitly paused any arrests or prosecution while the appeal was pending. Lawyers for the family, including senior counsel Nelson Havi, Orange Ndegwa, and Echesa, argued that the recent DCI arrests violated the standing order, effectively risking abuse of court process and conflicting judicial outcomes. The court’s ruling stated that the charges could not proceed because they involved the same land reference number already under appellate review, rendering the application defective and unable to stand until the appeal is resolved.

Nnamdi Kanu is trending because his trial has been adjourned indefinitely. Barely 48hrs after he said no one should beg Tinubu, on his behalf. Because agitating Biafra is not a crime. He rejected the adjournment by Justice Binta Nyako. Lectured the court, alleged Nyako wants to exchange his head. September 24th, 2024, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu rejected and openly accused Justice Binta Nyako of being an unprofessional, bias Justice who actively disobeys the rule of law. Then asked her to remove herself from his trial. She admitted and transferred his case file to Justice Tosho. Justice Tosho rejected it and sent it back to Justice Nyako. MNK insisted he isn’t confident in Justice Nyako handling his case. That, if there is no one willing to handle his case in Abuja. Then, his trial should be moved to the South East. Since his alleged offense of “Treason” affects the South East, not the North. Then, they should be well equipped to handle the trial accordingly. Today in court, Justice Nyako appeared again and was ready to proceed with the case at the Federal High Court Abuja. As prosecution was looking to begin, MNK’s lawyer opposed, saying they are not here for trial. Justice Nyako then said, she initially recused herself from the case, but she was assigned back by the Chief Judge. That, they’d need to file a reassignment motion. As Kanu’s lawyers and the prosecution were arguing the need for such. Nnamdi Kanu demanded to speak. He said, he’s only in court out of respect. That, Nyako no longer has jurisdiction over his case. And he doesn’t understand why they always turn the law upside down when it comes to his case. He argued that, since Nyako had officially recused herself from his case. Then, the Chief Judge can’t impose, instead appeal. Kanu insisted Nyako is unprofessional and bias. Kanu said “If the Chief Judge disagrees, he should appeal the decision. You cannot preside over this case, not now, not today, not ever. You stand recused and you must leave my case. I don’t need you in my case. You are biased. Tell the Chief Judge that Nnamdi Kanu said so. This is not a court of law. This is a shrine to injustice and i will not subject myself to it”. After his submission, the prosecutor still wanted the court to go ahead with trial. MNK interrupted saying “Because of money they are paying you from the AGF’s office, a grown-up man like you is here supporting evil. The rule of law says you should go on appeal. The same Chief Judge, writing this stupid memo, I have recused him before. He sat on appeal, I took him to NJC and recused him. Why is he insisting on this one? He wants to embarrass your lordship by asking her to sit on this case.” Then Justice Nyako, decided Adjourn the case indefinitely due to the situation of things. Kanu again; “You have no jurisdiction to adjourn anything. None whatsoever. You cannot make an order without jurisdiction. The memo from the Chief Judge cannot confer jurisdiction upon you” Kanu insists they deliberately ignore the law due to their bias against him. That him agitating for Biafra is his right, that somehow they’ve changed his charge from treason to terrorism. He remains defiant, against Justice Nyako handling his trial. He alleged that Justice Nyako has reached some sort of agreement to give his head in exchange for the freedom of her husband and son, who are facing a criminal case. Hinting that Nyako never truely left the case. Basically, he just wants the court to obey the Nigerian constitution. He has been in detention since 2021. But Nigerians fear it has become political and he may need to be submissive, otherwise his pride will keep him incarcerated indefinitely. • Pay for what you use.

🚨UPDATE: Trial hears two women who accused Sir Jeffrey Donaldson of sexually abusing them claim he subjected them to “difficult and traumatic incidents” when they were children 🎤Chief Reporter James from Newry Crown Court. The former DUP Leader is accused of rape and several counts of gross indecency and of indecent assault. He has pleaded not guilty to the 18 alleged offences. The charges span between 1985 and 2008 involving two alleged victims. Mr Donaldson’s wife Lady Eleanor Donaldson, denies several charges of aiding and abetting her husband’s alleged offending. She is facing a trial of the facts. Barrister Rosemary Walsh KC opened the prosecution case by summarising the evidence. She told the jury they would hear evidence from witnesses as well as police interviews carried out with the Donaldsons at the time of their arrest in 2024. Ms Walsh said two complainants had come forward to police more than two years ago and reported “difficult and traumatic incidents they say happened when they were children”. She said the evidence of the two complainants would in part be delivered during the trial by pre-recorded interviews. She said they would be cross-examined by barristers but would not come into the court. Ms Walsh said that in March 2024 Complainant B told police that she had been sexually abused when she was a child and that she remembered two incidents “vividly”. In the first alleged incident, she told the police that Jeffrey Donaldson had put his hands down her underwear, pulled her legs apart and then sexually assaulted her. In the second incident she told police that Donaldson had lifted her top and started to touch her breasts. Ms Walsh said Complainant B had said there were other incidents and that Donaldson had put his hands down her pants “a lot”. The barrister told the jury that Complainant B had later been at a meeting with Donaldson at a Christian centre and he had “apologised to her for what had happened in the past”. Ms Walsh then turned to the evidence that would be presented during the trial by Complainant A. Complainant A also made a statement to police in March 2024. She alleged that Donaldson touched her on a number of occasions under her top when she was a child. She told police that touching her had become something he had “done quite often”. She told police that Donaldson would make comments about her appearance, including the size of her breasts. She recalled one incident where she claimed that Donaldson had been “looking at her private parts”. The jury was told that the Donaldsons had been arrested on March 28 2024 and were subject to a number of police interviews. In Jeffrey Donaldson’s interview, when Complainant B’s account was put to him, he said it was “unbelievable” that he would have touched her in a sexual way. Regarding Complainant A, he denied that he ever rubbed her breast. Eleanor Donaldson is facing a trial of the facts, not a criminal trial, after Judge Paul Ramsey ruled her unfit to stand trial on mental health grounds. The trial of the facts will test the evidence in the case but cannot result in a criminal conviction.

🚨UPDATE: Trial hears two women who accused Sir Jeffrey Donaldson of sexually abusing them claim he subjected them to “difficult and traumatic incidents” when they were children 🎤Chief Reporter James from Newry Crown Court. The former DUP Leader is accused of rape and several counts of gross indecency and of indecent assault. He has pleaded not guilty to the 18 alleged offences. The charges span between 1985 and 2008 involving two alleged victims. Mr Donaldson’s wife Lady Eleanor Donaldson, denies several charges of aiding and abetting her husband’s alleged offending. She is facing a trial of the facts. Barrister Rosemary Walsh KC opened the prosecution case by summarising the evidence. She told the jury they would hear evidence from witnesses as well as police interviews carried out with the Donaldsons at the time of their arrest in 2024. Ms Walsh said two complainants had come forward to police more than two years ago and reported “difficult and traumatic incidents they say happened when they were children”. She said the evidence of the two complainants would in part be delivered during the trial by pre-recorded interviews. She said they would be cross-examined by barristers but would not come into the court. Ms Walsh said that in March 2024 Complainant B told police that she had been sexually abused when she was a child and that she remembered two incidents “vividly”. In the first alleged incident, she told the police that Jeffrey Donaldson had put his hands down her underwear, pulled her legs apart and then sexually assaulted her. In the second incident she told police that Donaldson had lifted her top and started to touch her breasts. Ms Walsh said Complainant B had said there were other incidents and that Donaldson had put his hands down her pants “a lot”. The barrister told the jury that Complainant B had later been at a meeting with Donaldson at a Christian centre and he had “apologised to her for what had happened in the past”. Ms Walsh then turned to the evidence that would be presented during the trial by Complainant A. Complainant A also made a statement to police in March 2024. She alleged that Donaldson touched her on a number of occasions under her top when she was a child. She told police that touching her had become something he had “done quite often”. She told police that Donaldson would make comments about her appearance, including the size of her breasts. She recalled one incident where she claimed that Donaldson had been “looking at her private parts”. The jury was told that the Donaldsons had been arrested on March 28 2024 and were subject to a number of police interviews. In Jeffrey Donaldson’s interview, when Complainant B’s account was put to him, he said it was “unbelievable” that he would have touched her in a sexual way. Regarding Complainant A, he denied that he ever rubbed her breast. Eleanor Donaldson is facing a trial of the facts, not a criminal trial, after Judge Paul Ramsey ruled her unfit to stand trial on mental health grounds. The trial of the facts will test the evidence in the case but cannot result in a criminal conviction. It is being heard by the same jury, with proceedings against both Donaldsons running simultaneously as part of one overall trial process presided over by Judge Ramsey. The trial continues.
