The  Presidency on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, said social media activist and influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), should face the law over the circulation of an alleged fake audio purportedly involving President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, stated this in a post on X, accusing VDM of disseminating false content on social media. “This VDM needs to face the weight of the law for being the conveyor and disseminator of a fake audio of President Tinubu. This is a clear case of an egregious abuse of the social media platform,” Onanuga wrote. The presidential aide was reacting to a post by an X user, identified as Aneex, who questioned why some people believed the voice in the audio belonged to Tinubu. The user described the audio as “cheap propaganda” and alleged that VDM was exploiting emotions to spread misinformation.

  Justice Peter Lifu of the Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a suit filed by a lawyer, Johnmary Jideobi, seeking to stop former President Goodluck Jonathan from contesting in the 2027 presidential election. Delivering Judgement, Justice Lifu also awarded a ₦20 million fine against Jideobi and in favour of the ex-president. He equally awarded a ₦1 million fine against the plaintiff and in favour of the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF).   Justice Lifu held that Jideobi lacked the legal right to have instituted the suit, having not suffered any loss from his perceived Jonathan’s intention to vie for the next year’s poll. The judge, who said that a Federal High Court in Yenagoa and an Appeal Court had already held that Jonathan was eligible to run, said he was bound by the decision of the appellate court. The judge then described the lawyer’s suit as “an abuse of court process”. Justice Lifu also dismissed Jideobi’s motion seeking the judge’s withdrawal from the c...
