Former Parliament Speaker Mike Aaron Ocquaye thinks Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo should ask for a public hearing about her removal. He says everyone already knows about the case, so she can reject private hearings if she wants more openness. The law allows both private meetings and public access because people have a right to see justice happen.
Ocquaye believes Torkonoo can refuse secret proceedings since the case has become public knowledge. He argues that anyone facing such charges should be able to let citizens watch the process if they have nothing to hide. President Mahama suspended Torkonoo on April 22 after three petitions against her showed enough evidence to investigate. The Council of State advised the president, who...

Mohbad's father, Joseph Aloba, says he gave N16 million to the doctor who did his son's second examination. He shared this during a recent live video chat.

The Supreme Court ordered Lagos socialite Fred Ajudua back to prison before his fraud trial resumes. Judges canceled his bail Friday because the Court of Appeal made a mistake.
