Nigeria Supreme Court is the Busiest in the World, I Will Unbundle it – Keyamo
A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and a ministerial nominee, Festus Keyamo, has said that Nigeria’s Supreme Court is the busiest in the world and as such requires unbundling.
“Our Supreme Court is the busiest in the world and it is not just acceptable,” Festus Keyamo said while responding to a question by Senator Omo Agege during a ministerial screening exercise which held in Abuja on Friday.
Senator Omo Agege had asked Keyamo what reforms he would like to see in the justice sector if the President gives him the position of Attorney General of the Federation (AGF).
Responding to the Deputy Senate President’s question, Keyamo said if he is AGF, his first duty will be to unbundle the Supreme Court, as well as bring new reforms to the judicial system.
“If I am AGF, I have the idea I call the three ‘Ds’ that would be at the heart of judicial reforms.
“The first D is the decongestion of the Supreme Court, the Second will be the decongestion of the prisons and the third one will be the decongestion of court lists,” Keyamo said.
The rights activist said he will not be the AGF without unbundling the Supreme Court, arguing that the kind of cases that are brought before the Apex Court are “scandalous, interlocutory appeals”.
Keyamo further stressed that the Supreme Court is burdened with appeals dealing with frivolous matters. He said there are cases that should be handled by Magistrate Courts that are taken to the apex court. He said the local courts throw out cases immediately they hear murder, without even asking for evidence or furthering the case any longer.

Cele Pastor Impregnates Teenage Girl who came for deliverance
Lagos State Police Command has arrested a 72-year-old Prophet Jacob Adegboyega Farinmade, of Celestial Church of Christ in Ipaja area, for allegedly killing a female undergraduate he impregnated, naija news live reports .
The deceased, Bunmi allegedly died during childbirth, whereas the clergyman secretly buried her, The Nation reviews.
Bunmi was stated to have been taken by her father to live together with her mom following her rustication in 200 degree at Babcock University in Ilisan Remo, Ogun State in 2014.
Bunmi’s mom, Derayo Omisipi, thereafter took her to the embattled cleric for religious deliverance and safety.
The cleric broke the news of the lady’s death to her mom after he had buried her in a shallow grave close to his church premises.
The father of the deceased became curious and reported the matter to the police, who was arrested.
The matter is being dealt with by the Homicide Part of the State Criminal Investigation Division (SCID), the place the prophet is presently detained.
Spokesman of Lagos State Police Command, Mr. Bala Elkanah, mentioned the suspect had been charged to court for homicide.
An Italian policeman who was allegedly killed by two teenage American tourists was stabbed 11 times with a knife carried into Italy from the United States, according to police in Rome.
General Francesco Gargaro, of the Provincial Carabinieri Command, said the weapon was brought to the country by the 19-year-old suspect, Finnegan Lee Elder.
Gargaro added that some of the wounds sustained by the fallen officer, Mario Cerciello Rega, were "very big, 17 centimeters (7 inches) deep, the length of the blade."
Rega was killed Friday in Rome shortly after returning to work from his honeymoon. The 35-year-old was attempting to recover a backpack allegedly stolen by Elder and Gabriel Natale Hjorth, 18, after a botched drug deal, say officers. Police said that Elder confessed in the early hours of the interrogation on Friday to murder.

Deputy Italian Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, who has called for life-long prison sentences for the accused teens, attended the service.
The officer's death has gripped Italy -- the story is leading many of its newspaper headlines -- and hundreds of people gathered outside the church to pay their respects.
Botched deal
The incident unfolded after the two US citizens approached a man about buying drugs, according to police. After being sold crushed aspirin instead of cocaine, officers allege that the Americans stole a backpack off the man.
The teenagers subsequently answered the owner's cellphone, which they had also taken, and told him "they would not return the backpack without 100 euros ($111) and 1 gram of cocaine," police added.
The owner of the stolen bag then contacted the police and two unarmed plainclothes officers met the American suspects under the guise of retrieving it, police said.
In these photographs released by the Italian Carabinieri, Gabriel Christian Natale Hjorth, right, and Finnegan Lee Elder, sit in their hotel room in Rome.
Both Americans are accused of assaulting the policemen, who reportedly identified themselves as law enforcement officers during the meeting early on Friday morning. Elder is accused of stabbing Rega 11 times before fleeing the scene.
The two Americans were arrested Friday evening inside their hotel room, close to the scene of the stabbing. They are accused of aggravated murder and attempted extortion, police said.
At the hotel room, police said they found the weapon hidden in a ceiling panel as well as the clothes worn during the crime.
Elder recognized the knife police say is the murder weapon "as his own," according to court documents seen by CNN.
'Contrasting' statements
The two suspects have turned on each other, according to those documents. The teenagers accuse each other "reciprocally" and their stories are "absolutely in contrast" with one another, the documents said.
They also add that Hjorth's testimony is closer to the police's version of events. Elder is accused of the stabbing, though both are being held on suspicion of murder.
Over the weekend, the police alleged that both Americans confessed to taking part in the assault, and say Elder confessed in the early hours of the interrogation on Friday to murder.
Elder's appointed public prosecutor, Francesco Codini, said that during his court appearance Saturday his client "maintained his right to remain silent" in front of a judge.
Italian police officer Mario Cerciello Rega was killed on Friday in Rome.
Elder's family said in a statement that they haven't been able to have any communication with their son and appealed to the public to respect their privacy. "We are working with the US State Department, but they have not been granted access to Finn," it added.
The family plans on going to Rome as soon as the State Department says they can see Finnegan.
"We are also aware of the funeral plans for Officer Rega, and wish to be respectful of his family and friends at this devastating time," the statement added.
Elder's father, Ethan Elder, spoke briefly with CNN outside his San Francisco home Sunday and called his son's case a "precarious situation." Ethan Elder says he wants people to know his son is "a good man."
Italian police can legally hold suspects for an entire year without official charges.
Suspect blindfolded
The arrests have also raised questions over a leaked photo that appears to show one of the American suspects blindfolded at a police station in Rome. The photograph was leaked to the respected Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.
Suspect Hjorth's lawyer, Emiliano Sisini, confirmed to CNN that his client was the blindfolded suspect in the picture. He does not know how long Hjorth was blindfolded for, but said the incident took place before his interrogation.
Italian police have confirmed the authenticity of the photo, and told CNN that a two-pronged investigation has been launched into why the suspect was blindfolded and who leaked the photo to the press.
Gabriel Hjorth, one of two Americans arrested over the killing of an Italian police officer in Rome, is pictured blindfolded in a police station. Italian police have confirmed to CNN that an investigation has been launched into who leaked the photo to respected Italian newspaper Corriere della sera.
"The general command of the Carabinieri police strongly distances itself from the photo and the distribution of the photo of the people detained for the homicide of the Officer Mario Cerciello Rega. The provincial Carabinieri command of Rome is quickly carrying out investigations to locate who is responsible," police said in a statement Sunday.
Salvini commented on the blindfold photo Sunday, saying in a statement: "To those complaining about the blindfolding of the arrested, remember that the only victim to cry for is the man, the son, the husband who is 35 years old, a Carabinieri officer, a servant of the homeland who died in service at the hands of the people who, if guilty, deserve only life imprisonment."
The day before, Salvini had called for life-long prison sentences for the accused teens, despite them not having been put on trial.
"Hoping that the murderers of our poor policeman will never get out of prison, I remind the do-gooders that in the United States whoever kills risks the death penalty. I'm not saying we should go that far, but life in prison (obviously working), this, yes!" Salvini wrote in a message on Twitter on Saturday

In a phone interview with a local TV station, the 41-year-old senator had previously said that portions of the video were cut out or compressed and promised to issue a statement. Later, in a video, he read out an apology: "I am not here to narrate my side of the story," Abbo said. "I am here to apologize to Nigerians for insulting their sensibilities."
Angry Nigerians and rights groups, including Amnesty International Nigeria, had called for the senator's arrest and prosecution after the footage was posted by an online publication on Tuesday.
The incident, according to the report, took place in May before Abbo was sworn in as a senator.
The Senate said it had set up a committee to investigate the incident. Abbo's party, the People's Democratic Party said in a statement it was "shocked that the harmless victim of the unprovoked assault is said to be a nursing mother, who ought to be protected."
Popular Nigerian Dancer, Kaffy The Dance Queen, has condemned Naira Marley’s latest dance style, and trust the singer to respond to her criticism.
The dance style, tagged, “Soapy Dance”, is a dance that mimics a man ‘masturbating’, and this has seen men act immorally in public, even to the extent of sexually harrassing women in the process of doing the dance. Kaffy said the dance is a

“disgusting immoral dance”, for adults and especially for kids. She said it “should never be encouraged.”
She added:
Quote
“This is a No . #myopinion As dancers we should also speak for what is right we shouldn’t encourage this for the sake of trend. Esp when it’s not even censored away from kids ,as an adult sef it’s offensive. #rubbish.”
Dancer, Don Flexx also joined in condemning the dance.
But a number of people criticized Kaffy and her supporters. They told her the ”One Corner” dance from Ghana was a hit and no one condemned it yet she’s trying to condemn something a Nigerian came up with.
Naira Marley reacted by dropping several smiling emojis on a comment left by an IG user who said, “sorry is too late, soapy has taken over”.
