Tech Impact On Nigeria Immigration Service

The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) is a critical institution responsible for managing migration, border control, and the issuance of travel documents in Nigeria. Its core mandate includes regulating the entry and exit of persons, issuing passports and visas, and enforcing immigration laws. In a rapidly globalizing world, the NIS occupies a strategic position in national security, economic development, and international relations. Over the years, the increasing complexity of migration patterns and transnational crime has placed greater demands on the NIS.

Court further extends Ultimatum for Kanu to defend Terrorism Charges

Frank Akpan
The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, has once again extended the ultimatum granted the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, to enter his defence in the ongoing alleged terrorism offences.

Justice James Omotosho extended the ultimatum to Friday, November 7, 2025, saying it was his duty as a judge in the case to accord Kanu sufficient opportunity to put in his defence.

Justice Omotosho said: “We had adjourned till today for the defendant to put in his defence or be deemed closed.

“But, I am bound to give him another opportunity to put in his defence.

“If he did not, I will deem him closed. I know that he is an economist and not a lawyer.

“I will give the last opportunity to the defendant to put in his defence, failure which he would be deemed closed.”

The judge, therefore, adjourned to November 7, 2025.

Earlier, Kanu, who appeared for himself, addressed the court from the dock.

He maintained his position that there was no valid charge against him to warrant his call to enter a defence.
