Proceedings continued today, March 30, 2026, at the High Court of Justice, Dogarawa in Zaria, Kaduna State, presided over by Justice Yakubu Badamasi, in the ongoing criminal trial involving Abdu Kwari, Hajiya Amina Dalhatu Akilu, and Shehu Abdu Kwari over allegations of fraud and criminal conspiracy. The case arose from a petition filed by a Zaria-based businessman, Ahmed Muhammad Gusau, who accused the defendants of fraudulently inducing him into a property exchange deal. According to the complainant, he surrendered his residential property located at No. 17 Sale Annur Street, Kabama Layout, Sabon Gari, Zaria, valued at ₦60 million, in exchange for a plot of land at No. 5 Abubakar Mustapha Road, Kabama Layout, allegedly owned by Senator Abdu Kwari and valued at ₦20 million. He further alleged that he was informed the Senator does not sell land but only engages in property exchange arrangements. Based on this understanding, he accepted the offer and proceeded with the trans...

By Ibrahim Shehu, Abuja  At a time when the All Progressives Congress (APC) is striving to reinforce internal discipline, credibility, and public trust, the appointment of former Bauchi State governor, Isa Yuguda, as Secretary of the party’s Convention Committee has sparked intense debate among political observers. Under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC has consistently projected itself as a party committed to reform, accountability, and progressive governance. However, this recent decision raises a fundamental question: can a party that seeks to inspire confidence afford to place individuals burdened by persistent allegations of corruption. Public records and multiple reports over the years have linked Isa Yuguda’s tenure as governor (2007–2015) to a range of serious allegations. Among them are claims of contract fraud involving unaccounted sums estimated at over ₦212.2 billion. There have also been allegations bordering on abuse of office, divers...

By Usman Dahiru, Bauchi  The unfolding political drama within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi State has taken a troubling turn, with former governor Isa Yuguda resorting to sweeping allegations against the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar. However, beyond the noise, a more critical question emerges: are these claims rooted in verifiable facts, or are they part of a calculated political strategy to weaken a perceived rival? A careful examination of the accusations reveals a pattern that is all too familiar in Nigeria’s political landscape serious claims made without publicly available evidence. Allegations of bribery, internal sabotage, and deliberate destabilisation of the party are weighty issues that demand proof, not press statements. In the absence of such evidence, they risk being viewed as politically motivated narratives aimed at discrediting Tuggar’s rising profile within the APC. It is also important to note that Yusuf Tuggar is not a new...
