JUSTICE AT LAST! 5-Year Legal War Over Dr. Tosin Ajayi’s Multi-Billion Naira Estate Finally Ends!.
A Lagos State High Court in Ikeja has concluded a nearly five-year legal dispute regarding the estate and marital status of the late Dr. Tosin Ajayi, founder of First Foundation Hospital. In her ruling, Justice Oluwayoyin Odusanya declared Adenike Oluwayemisi Ajayi the sole lawful widow of the deceased.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
-
Legal Status of Marriage: The court affirmed that Mrs. Ajayi’s monogamous marriage to Dr. Ajayi remained valid until his death in 2020, ruling that a prolonged separation does not constitute a legal dissolution of marriage.
-
Rejection of Helen Prest’s Claims: The court dismissed claims by former beauty queen Helen Prest, who asserted she was also a spouse through a Kalabari customary marriage.
-
Lack of Evidence: Justice Odusanya described Prest’s customary marriage claim as an “afterthought,” noting her inconsistent past descriptions of her relationship with the deceased and the total lack of documentary or photographic evidence.
-
Invalidity of Second Union: Furthermore, the court found that even if a ceremony had occurred, any such union would have been invalid because Prest was still legally married to her previous husband at the time she claimed to have married Dr. Ajayi.
-
Resolution of Estate: The judgment grants Mrs. Ajayi and her children all requested reliefs, including her entitlement to one-third of the personal estate and exclusive rights to apply for letters of administration.

Any Amendment To Electoral Act 2026 Must Come After 2027 Elections – Senator Bamidele.
Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, the Senate Leader, has firmly stated that the 2026 Electoral Act will not undergo amendments prior to Nigeria’s 2027 general elections. Speaking to ThisDay, Bamidele explained that pursuing such legislative changes shortly before a major election risks creating unnecessary confusion and deepening political distrust.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
-
Rejection of Mid-cycle Changes: Despite pressure from some colleagues to amend the act following certain judicial rulings, Bamidele refused to support these efforts to avoid altering the rules of the game so close to primaries and general elections.
-
Separation of Powers: Bamidele emphasized that the legislative branch writes laws, the President signs them, and the judiciary interprets them. He noted that if courts strike down portions of INEC’s guidelines, it is a functional part of the democratic system.
-
Addressing Criticisms: He dismissed some critiques of the current act—including those from former Resident Electoral Commissioner Mike Ighini—as stemming from a “fundamental misunderstanding” of the legislature’s intent.
-
Protecting INEC: He highlighted that INEC is currently facing intense pressure from various stakeholders, and he believes any future amendments should only be considered after the 2027 elections are completed, with a clear caveat that such changes cannot be applied retroactively.
