Uchenna Michael Ugorie, a Methodist Church Nigeria priest.</p> <p>The priest is demanding that he be reinstated to complete his single five-year tenure as Rector of Methodist Theological Institute, Umuahia, which he said started on 22/5/2020.</p> <p>In a suit marked HU/188M/2024 filed at Abia State High Court 3, Umuahia, Ugorie lamented that he was ejected from the MTI’s official quarters through a letter written by the Secretary to the Conference, Rt. Rev. Babatunde Abiodun Taiwo, which ordered him to hand over to an acting Rector, Very Rev. Kingsley Nwaike, and proceed on compulsory leave on June 20, 2024, without prior notice.</p> <p>Ugorie added that the authorities of the Methodist Church Nigeria brought some allegations against him even when no witness testified against him before a panel that was set up by the church to investigate him.</p> <p>The applicant alleged that he was humiliated and thrown out of the official quarters of the Theological Institute in Umuahia without being given the opportunity to say anything.</p> <p>When the matter was called up for hearing on Wednesday, the Counsel to the five respondents, J.O. Johnson, objected to a motion brought by the Counsel to the applicant, Obike Onyemere.</p> <p>But the presiding judge, Justice A. U. Agwu, adjourned the matter to May 6, 2025, to listen to any objection that may come from the respondents’ counsel and for proper hearing of the matter.</p> <p>It would be recalled that Ugorie in October 2024, during a press conference, alleged that his family took refuge inside a classroom in Umuchime Osah, Umuahia North LGA, following his abrupt removal from office and the family’s ejection from staff quarters by authorities of the Methodist Church.</p> <p>Written By Daniel Chibuike</p> <p>The post <a href="https://thedailynewswave.com/priest-drags-methodist-church-to-court-over-termination-of-job-ejection-from-quarters/">Priest drags Methodist Church to court over termination of job, ejection from quarters</a> appeared first on <a href="https://thedailynewswave.com">The DailyNewswave</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://thedailynewswave.com/priest-drags-methodist-church-to-court-over-termination-of-job-ejection-from-quarters/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <post-id xmlns="com-wordpress:feed-additions:1">20573</post-id> </item> <item> <title>Gang of Lagos: Court orders Amazon, movie producers to apologise to indigenes</title> <link>https://thedailynewswave.com/gang-of-lagos-court-orders-amazon-movie-producers-to-apologise-to-indigenes/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=gang-of-lagos-court-orders-amazon-movie-producers-to-apologise-to-indigenes</link> <comments>https://thedailynewswave.com/gang-of-lagos-court-orders-amazon-movie-producers-to-apologise-to-indigenes/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Editor]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 13 Mar 2025 19:37:00 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Entertainment]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[@Amazon]]></category> <category><![CDATA[@Court]]></category> <category><![CDATA[@Gangs of Lagos]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://thedailynewswave.com/?p=20561</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>The maker of the contentious film Gangs of Lagos and the well-known entertainment giant Amazon have been ordered by the Lagos State High Court to apologize to Lagos natives who are members of the Isale Eko Descendants Union (IDU) for distorting their cultural history and customs.

him.</p> <p> </p> <p>DAILY POST reports that while the petitioner lives in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State, the author, Farotimi, lives in Lagos where he was arrested and immediately moved to Ekiti.</p> <p> </p> <p>The petitioner is of the view that the book which recently went viral can be read anywhere in the world, including Ekiti State where he resides, therefore, damaging his reputation.</p> <p> </p> <p>Farotimi, a popular Nigerian activist was on Monday, arraigned before a Magistrate Court in Ado Ekiti.</p> <p> </p> <p>The presiding judge, Magistrate Abayomi Adeosun declined his bail request and remanded him in prison custody until December 10.</p> <p> </p> <p>A cross section of Nigerians have concluded plans to stage a mega protest in Lagos State, the Federal Capital Territory and Ekiti State on December 10 to demand his immediate release.</p> <p> </p> <p>However, according to the National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, Comrade Jare Ajayi, “the legal system provides an opportunity for parties in a dispute to prove their cases.”</p> <p> </p> <p>Afenifere was of the strong opinion that the interests of both parties and the general public “must be protected and justice dispensed fairly.”</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Ajayi, in a statement, added that “the court is in the best position to determine how these interests are protected, and to ensure that the prosecution is conducted in a manner that better serves the interest of justice.”</p> <p> </p> <p>Afenifere enjoined all parties to avoid statements and actions that may lead to a breach of peace, while calling on the government to ensure a total observance of the rule of law.</p> <p> </p> <p>Afenifere was of the view that the appropriate forum to determine whose rights had been breached and how was the court of law as established by the Nigerian constitution.</p> <p> </p> <p>“We enjoin all parties to conduct themselves in total submission to and respect for the rule of law”, the spokesman added.</p>

<p>He gave the testimony on Thursday while answering questions from the counsel to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr Rotimi Oyedepo, SAN.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>He told the trial judge, Justice Rahman Oshodi that the functions of his office includes managing office correspondences, attending to visitors and any other tasks as assigned by his boss.</p> <p> </p> <p>He said these duties gave him direct access to Emefiele.</p> <p> </p> <p>On the $400,000, Adetola testified that he was summoned from Ekiti, his new posting place to go pick up the money.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>“In 2018, I can’t remember the date, the personal assistant to the CBN Gov in Abuja, Mr Eric Odoh sent me a message on WhatsApp that I should go and collect $400,000 from John Ayoh, the former
