“Too many countries are retreating into geopolitical blocs or the battlegrounds of protectionism,” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said. “We are not experiencing a transition, but a rupture.” His warning set the tone for a summit defined by unease rather …

When the Federal High Court of Nigeria, sitting in Abuja and presided over by Justice James Kolawole Omotosho, delivered its judgment on November 20, 2025, the question before the nation was not merely what it would decide about Nnamdi Kanu, but what it would reveal about the Nigerian judiciary itself.

That day, the robe of justice slipped — not quietly, but in full view of the law it was meant to protect. The judgment handed down was not a triumph of jurisprudence but a tragedy …
