Court Sets Hearing in Landmark Case on Rape, Incest Victims’ Rights

Wale Igbintade

Justice Lewis Allagoa of the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, has fixed January 20, 2026, for the hearing of a landmark suit filed against the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) by the Women Advocates Research and Documentation Centre (WARDC), seeking to enforce the rights of victims of rape and incest.

The case, filed under suit number FHC/LAG/975/2025, is also against other government agencies, including the Minister of Health, the Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, and the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP).

The applicants are represented by a team of eminent lawyers, including Prof. Yemi Oke, SAN, Dr. Yinka Owoeye, Emmanuella Azu, Deji Folorunsho, and Oluwatobi Adeniregun.

WARDC is pushing the court to grant several key reliefs. Among these are declarations that victims of rape and incest have a legal right to safe termination of pregnancy, comprehensive medical care, psychological support, and access to medical abortion services, as provided under the Violence Against Persons Prohibition (VAPP) Act.

The organisation also seeks any further orders the court may deem appropriate to protect the rights of victims.

During Thursday’s mention, the case was adjourned after all respondents failed to appear.

Speaking on behalf of the applicants, Prof. Oke criticised the absence of the government agencies, describing the matter as “of unique importance and national significance.”

He expressed disappointment that the agencies had not demonstrated what he described as “patriotism” by attending the hearing.

“This is a matter every conscious Nigerian and global citizen should be interested in,” Prof. Oke said.

 “We are here to move the hand of justice to give effect to the rights of victims of rape and incest for safe termination of pregnancy.”

Justice Allagoa also questioned the applicants’ counsel on proper service of court processes, emphasizing the need for proof that all respondents had been duly served.

The court subsequently adjourned the matter to January 20, 2026, for hearing.

The case is widely regarded as a test of government accountability in protecting the rights of sexual violence victims in Nigeria.

    Suspension: A’ Court Reserves Judgment in Akpabio, Natasha’s Appeals

    Alex Enumah in Abuja

    The Court of Appeal in Abuja, on Friday, reserved its judgments in the appeals against a Federal High Court judgment which invalidated the six months suspension of the senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

    A three-member panel of justices of the appellate court reserved judgments after all counsel to parties adopted and argued their processes for and against the appeals.

    While the leadership of the Senate on one hand lodged an appeal against the trial court’s verdict faulting the six months suspension, Akpoti-Uduaghan on the other is seeking a nullification and subsequent setting aside of the same trial court’s verdict that imposed a fine of N5 million for contempt of court.

    In the main appeal, the legal team of the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio had challenged the jurisdiction of the lower court, arguing that the matter bordered on the internal affairs of the National Assembly and is therefore insulated from judicial review under Section 251 of the 1999 Constitution.

    The lower court had declared her six-month suspension unconstitutional, excessive, and a violation of the senator’s constituents’ right to representation.

    In a notice of cross-appeal dated July 11, Mr Akpabio, through his lead counsel, Kehinde Ogunwumiju, SAN, asked the appellate court to nullify the judgment, describing it as erroneous and a gross miscarriage of justice.

    In the 11-ground appeal, he faulted the trial court for dismissing his preliminary objection and for issuing orders that, according to him, interfere with parliamentary procedures protected by law.

    He further argued that matters relating to suspension of members, utterances made during plenary, and resolutions of the Senate fall squarely within the protective scope of the Legislative Houses (Powers and Privileges) Act, and cannot be subjected to external adjudication.

    The cross-appeal by the senate president came just two days after Akpoti-Uduaghan filed an appeal at the Court of Appeal to challenge the N5 million fine imposed on her by the same court.

    The fine was part of a contempt ruling issued by the trial court’s judge, Justice Binta Nyako, who found the senator guilty of civil contempt over a satirical Facebook post made while her case against the Senate was still ongoing.

    In her six-ground appeal, Akpoti-Uduaghan described the contempt ruling as violating her fundamental rights and argued that the fine was legally unfounded.

    The appeals, marked: CA/ABJ/CJ/739/2025, CA/ABJ/CJ/1208/2025; and CA/ABJ/CJ/739/2025CA/A//2025, all stemmed from the rights suit filed by Akpoti-Uduaghan with number: FHC/ABJ/CS/384/2025, to stop the senate from investigating her.

    At the hearing on Friday, Akpabio, through his lawyer, Eko Ejembi Eko, SAN, withdrew one of the cross appeals, having been overtaken by event, since Akpoti-Uduaghan had since resumed her duties in the Senate, and it was dismissed.

    • Obi visits ex-gov

    David-Chyddy Eleke in Awka

    Ex-governor of Anambra State and immediate past Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, has given an account of how his convoy was attacked by gunmen on Wednesday.

    The former governor spoke to journalists when presidential candidate in 2023 election, Mr Peter Obi, visited him to commiserate with him on the attack.

    Ngige said he had been in Anambra since Saturday, and had sent his personal aides on errand, including taking one of his cars for maintenance when they were attacked on their way back, leading to the death of one lady, while his police orderly was shot in the leg and dispossessed of his rifle and his uniforms.

    Ngige, dispelling rumors of death, said: “As you can see, I’m alive, I’m not dead, so there should be no panic or fear. They attacked my convoy while they were coming back around Umuoji when they saw some vehicle racing towards them, and later reversed and chased after them, and started shooting.

    “They were all dressed in police and army uniforms, so my convoy driver dribbled them until they ran into a shop and they caught up with my police security men who battled with them until his bullets exhausted. They took away his rifle and his uniforms and that was after they shot him in the leg.

    “They told the two police men that they were serving a zoo government. So I think something is in the offing, they are seizing arms, mopping up police uniforms. I have spoken to the governor of the state who assured me they will be tracked down, because if they are not tracked down, that can lead to potential danger and a sign of potential unruffling of the calmness we have enjoyed in the state for three months now.

    “You know we are entering Christmas season and our people will be coming home. They need to be tracked down because it is a gang with a modus operandi of operating in police uniforms.”

    On whether it was a targeted attack, the former senator said it could be because his convoy and drivers are well known, but again he thinks it may be a coincidence as the group may just be going about seeking police men to harvest guns and uniforms from.

    He said: “My pilot driver is very well known and most people know that anywhere they see him, they know Ngige is there. He has driven me for 22 years. So on that basis, I may say they knew it was my convoy and decided to attack. On the other hand, I can say they do not know, they may have just seen a convoy with police men and decided to attack them. So I’m not talking about targeting me now, anyone who targets me is wasting his time.”

    Speaking on the claims of the gunmen that the policemen were serving a zoo government, and the recent jailing of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Ngige said: “When they told the security men that they were serving zoo government and that they should tell their masters they are coming for them. You know what that means.

    “My own take is that Nnamdi Kanu’s case is for political solution. I met President Buhari on that. Governor Soludo has also said that he wants Kanu to be released to him, but even if they don’t want to release him to us, they can release him to Britain.

    “Why I say so is because the symptoms he is exhibiting is a bizarre symptom. I’m not a psychiatrist, but I know that something is wrong. Even the NMA people that went to do medical evaluation on him were wrong. They should look at that other part of it. They should look at that other component, there is a mania there, and when you have such a situation, the court normally discharges the person. That is my take, this is elementary psychiatry, and I’m a medical doctor.”

    Mr Peter Obi who visited him in his country home in Alor, Idemili South Local Government Area thanked God for sparing the life of the former governor, while commiserating with the families of the deceased woman who was felled for making a video of the incident.
