O yinkansola Badejo-Okusanya, SAN, says she will quit immediately if solid evidence shows the 2026 Nigerian Bar Association presidential election was compromised. The incoming NBA leader made the pledge Thursday during a TVC News interview, pushing back against claims from rival candidates and some lawyers that the vote was skewed in her favor. She insisted the electronic balloting faced unprecedented public oversight and revealed no signs of tampering. “This process has been scrutinized more than any NBA election since we adopted universal suffrage and e-voting,” Badejo-Okusanya stated. “My opponents allege it was rigged for me, yet the data tells a different story.” She explained that her lead held steady from start to finish, with no unexplained spikes that typically signal ballot stuffing. “I never fell behind. No opponent overtook me. The margin only grew wider,” she said. “Votes came in gradually, not in suspicious dumps of 20, 30 or 50 at once. The system refreshed every 10 seco...

G etting locked out of your Google Account is about to get less stressful.  Google has launched a new recovery option that lets you get back into your account with a short video selfie. Think of it as a spare key, except this one is your face. The feature is now live at https://g.co/signin-selfie.

T he Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission has exposed a widespread payroll fraud that saw 908 fake employees siphon about N942 million from federal coffers, with the Nigeria Police Force leading the list of offenders. ICPC Chairman Musa Adamu Aliyu (SAN) said the commission’s audit of 50 ministries, departments and agencies uncovered phantom staff whose names were secretly added to government payrolls. The findings, reported by BBC Pidgin on Wednesday, show how corrupt officials exploited the system to steal public money. Ghost workers are fictitious names inserted into payroll records so insiders can collect salaries illegally. In some cases, staff allegedly enrolled relatives or friends who never worked for the government. One case revealed a man who listed his wife, son and mother-in-law as employees while also drawing wages meant for 12 other workers. The police force topped the list with 570 suspected fake workers. “We identified 570 people we suspec...
