Edo Court Grants Activist Harrison Gwamnishu Bail
In a dramatic turn of events, the Edo State High Court has granted bail to activist Harrison Gwamnishu, who was arrested and detained following allegations of diverting N5.4 million from a N20 million ransom meant for an abducted Edo couple. The court, presided over by Justice E. O. Erhire, had previously denied Gwamnishu’s bail application on December 9, 2025, citing the need for further inquiry into the allegations against him.
However, in a recent development, the court has reversed its decision and granted Gwamnishu bail, pending the outcome of the investigation and trial. The bail grant comes after Gwamnishu’s lawyer, Efe Okoro, argued that his client posed no flight risk and was cooperating with investigators.
Gwamnishu, the founder of Safe City Volunteer Foundation, had been arrested on December 5, 2025, following allegations by Abdulganiyu Oseni, the brother-in-law of the abducted couple, that he had diverted part of the ransom money. The allegations sparked widespread outrage and controversy, with many calling for Gwamnishu’s prosecution.
The court’s decision to grant bail has been met with mixed reactions, with some expressing relief that Gwamnishu will be released from custody, while others are calling for a thorough investigation into the allegations against him.
The investigation into the allegations against Gwamnishu is ongoing, and he is expected to cooperate fully with the authorities. The court’s decision to grant bail is pending the outcome of the trial, and Gwamnishu’s lawyer has expressed confidence that his client will be exonerated.
The allegations against Gwamnishu have already had a significant impact on his reputation, with many questioning his integrity and motives. However, his lawyer has vowed to clear his name and restore his reputation.
The case has highlighted the need for greater accountability and transparency in the handling of ransom money and the investigation of kidnapping cases in Nigeria. It has also raised questions about the role of activists and NGOs in addressing security challenges in the country.

TikToker Peller apologizes over reckless driving, car crash
Popular TikToker Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, on Friday issued a public apologised over a viral video showing him driving recklessly and crashing his vehicle during a live-stream.
In a video shared on Instagram, Peller posted with the caption, “I’m sorry, Nigeria, please I’m sorry. I will never do that again. I am very sorry. For now, I am on medication. Once I’m done with my medication, I will be online.”
In the video, he said, “I let emotion get to me. That’s why I do that. I’m very sorry. Please, please. You can comment anything against me, but please, I’m sorry. I’m very sorry. I don’t do it intentionally. Please. Please, guys. Please forgive me. I’m very sorry. Please, don’t bully Jarvis. Leave her. She is not concerned. It’s me.”
The apology follows a widely shared incident on Sunday, December 14, 2025, when Peller livestreamed himself driving recklessly along the Lekki‑Epe Expressway in Lagos.
During the livestream, he threatened to crash his vehicle in what many described as an attempted suicide, before losing control and smashing his newly purchased Mercedes‑Benz into a stone barrier.
Bystanders at the scene helped convey him to a hospital, and the extent of his injuries was unclear at the time.
The crash sparked public outrage due to the danger it posed to both the influencer and other road users.
Reacting, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) said the incident exposed the dangers of distracted and reckless driving, particularly involving live streaming or content creation.
The FRSC’s Corps Marshal warned that such behaviour not only violates traffic laws but also undermines national road safety efforts, directing that prosecution should begin for offences including reckless driving, use of a phone while driving, and distracted driving.
Also, on Tuesday, the Lagos State Police Command announced Peller’s arrest and detention for further investigation, describing his conduct as extremely dangerous and capable of causing fatal consequences for himself and other road users.
Police described the incident as a “deliberate attempt to commit suicide” and warned against using social media platforms to engage in reckless or unlawful acts.
The case has since been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for a comprehensive probe, and Peller is expected to face prosecution by the Federal Road Safety Corps.
The episode has reignited public discourse on the growing trend of risky stunts by influencers and content creators chasing online engagement, with many Nigerians urging stricter enforcement of road safety laws and greater awareness of mental health issues among young public figures.

Buhari’s Signature Was Forged and Used During His Tenure – Fatima Buhari Reveals
Fatima Buhari, daughter of late former President Muhammadu Buhari, has disclosed that official documents bearing forged signatures of her father circulated during his presidency.
The revelation was made in ‘From Soldier to Statesman: The Legacy of Muhammadu Buhari’, a biography authored by Charles Omole.
According to the book, Fatima, who works as a forensic auditor, examined several official documents and discovered instances where signatures had been fraudulently appended in her father’s name.
She reportedly brought the falsified documents to her father’s attention, showing him specific examples of the fake signatures.
The biography indicates that Fatima was not alone in raising concerns about signature forgery, noting that other individuals had similarly flagged the issue with the then-president.
However, Fatima emphasised that the practice of forging presidential signatures was not exclusive to her father’s administration, pointing out that previous governments had encountered comparable challenges with document authenticity.
The disclosure raises questions about the integrity of official documentation processes during the Buhari presidency and the mechanisms in place to prevent such forgeries from being perpetrated on official government paperwork.
