Go Back To Your Father’s Name, Corruption Charges Against You Is Tarnishing My Image– Deziani’s Ex-Husband Demands She Stops Using His Name
Rear Admiral Alison Amaechina Madueke has petitioned a Lagos court to prevent his ex-wife, Diezani Alison-Madueke, Nigeria’s former Minister of Petroleum, from using his name following their divorce.
In his petition (Suit No. LD/15144HD/2024), Madueke requests that Diezani revert to her pre-marital surname (Agama) and publish notices in Nigerian and UK newspapers announcing her discontinuation of his name.
He argues that her continued use of his name amid her ongoing criminal trials in Nigeria and the UK poses significant legal and financial risks to him.
The petition highlights that Diezani and Madueke ceased living together in May 2015, and their marriage was officially dissolved in April 2022 by Hon. Justice A.A. Ozegya of the High Court of Nassarawa State.
Madueke maintains that Diezani’s use of his name creates embarrassment and misleads the public into thinking they are still connected, tarnishing his reputation.
Despite the divorce being finalized over two years ago, Diezani continues to use his name without justification or consent.
Madueke’s solicitors, Messrs Foundation Chambers, sent a formal letter to Diezani on December 14, 2023, urging her to revert to her maiden name, Diezani Kogbeni Agama.
For the last two decades in Nigeria, there have been massive adoption of solar power systems as an alternative power source to the age long unstable power supply, high electricity bills and also as a profitable alternative to fossil fuel generating plant.
Generally, those that make the switch to this innovative solution have their solar panels installed on their roof tops in other to harvest adequate sunshine which is the source of energy that is DC (Direct Current). The direct current is then converted into AC (Alternating Current) used in powering their homes or business places.
In recent times, there have been videos circulating the internet showing houses on fire with captions such as, “solar panels burnt down the house”, “stop putting solar panels on your roofs” and so on. This has created panic in the solar sector and has become a cause of concern from some existing and intending solar users to use their roofs.
What is a solar panels?
A solar panel also known as photovoltaic (PV) panel is a major component of a solar system that converts photons from the sunlight into electrical direct current(DC) which is then used to power a house through an inverter or without an inverter if the appliances in use are DC appliances.
Solar panels are majorly made up of silicon solar cells, glass covering ,encapsulant, aluminum frame and junction box with extending short MC4 cables. So, can solar panels cause fire on your roof? Let’s find out in this article.
Why solar panels are installed on the roof?
As I earlier stated in the introduction, the primary reason for having solar panels on the rooftop is for better harvesting of sunlight and to avoid shadows as much as possible. This is why it has always been the general spot where residential and some commercial solar panels are installed.

The Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly has called for immediate release of the 13 farmers from Itu Mbonuso, Ini local government of the state, who were abducted on their farm recently.
It urged the State Ministry of Internal Security to promptly collaborate with security agencies to secure their release.
The resolution followed a matter of urgent public importance raised by the member representing the Ini state constituency, Lawrence Udoide during Wednesday plenary.
Udoide disclosed to the House that on July 14, some people suspected to come from Arochukwu, a neighboring community in Abia State abducted 13 farmers to an unknown destination.
The report was received through a motion by Mr Moses Essien, member representing Ibiono Ibom state constituency and seconded by Mr Itoro-Obong Etim, member representing Uruan state constituency.
The lawmaker expressed grave concern over the rising incidents of violence in his constituency, describing the situation as “a siege perpetrated by unscrupulous elements from Arochukwu.”
Udoide highlighted the deteriorating security conditions in Ini local government area, noting that residents of Nkari, Itu-Mbonuso, and Iwerre now live in constant fear.
“One of my constituents went to his farm and discovered that someone had trespassed on his land. He, along with his brother, approached the trespassers to resolve the issue amicably.
“Unfortunately, a misunderstanding ensued, and the trespassers called for reinforcements.
“My constituent was assaulted, and one person was abducted and taken to Abia State.
“The brother who returned home to report the incident later returned with others to search for the abducted individual, only to be ambushed, resulting in the abduction of 12 more people from Itu Mbonuso, bringing the total to 13 that are yet to be released,” Udoide said.
Udoide pleaded with the House to take action and inform Gov. Umo Eno to engage with the Abia Government to facilitate the release of the 13 abducted farmers without delay.
Members who contributed to the debate described the incursion into Itu Mbonuso as unacceptable, stressing that the people deserved to live in peace in their land without molestation.
The Speaker, Mr Udeme Otong, urged the Akwa Ibom Government to engage the Abia counterpart to ensure the safe return of the abducted individuals without delay.
Otong also directed the Chairman of the House Committee on Security to coordinate with the relevant government’s ministry and security agencies for updates on the situation.
He urged the security agencies to work together and prevent further attacks on Itu Mbonuso and other border communities in the Ini local government area.
