Keyamo Rattles SSS Men Over Operational Jurisdiction

Human rights lawyer, Barrister Festus Keyamo has taken-on the Lagos State command of the State Security Service over what he referred to as high handedness and abuse of office on the part of some men of the service.

According to a petition signed by Tarfa Mark Anata of Festus Keyamo Chambers and titled, unlawful harassment, intimidation and abuse of power by the office of State Security Service, the brilliant lawyer is charging the service on the need to be more careful, most especially on matters that are not their jurisdiction.

We gathered reliably that, some overzealous men of the service are said to be using the apparatus of the State Security Service to frustrate investigative efforts of the police authority over a matter that’s rather purely, a domestic brouhaha.

Representing one of its clients, a topflight estate development and property consultant, CMB Building Maintenance and Investment company Limited, Barrister Festus Keyamo is calling on the SSS director to call his men to order and let sleeping dog lies in a mater that doesn’t concern their office.

Facts pieced together have it that, CMB, the company in charge of Pearl Gardens, Lekki, Lagos had informed the police authority over an allegation of breach of peace, assault and malicious damage of some troublesome residents of the serene estate, Pearl Gardens with a view to checkmating their excesses but instead, the residents who have been bragging to know people in high places got some State Security Service men involved to stall police investigation.

These residents, whose names are given as Mrs. Ajayi Obe, Mrs. Francis Adesuyi, Mrs. Nkiru Ifediora, Mrs. Joseph Upah, Mrs. Kayode Adeboye, Mrs. Ben Fakrogha, Mrs. Jude Akhaba, and Lola Mosaku, whom we gathered are in the habits of causing civil disobedient among others have been terrorising the neighbourhood with the help of their SSS contacts.

And as if that’s not enough, these people have not just shunned police invitation but have been using their contacts within the SSS to harass, intimidate and cow the estate managers, CMB.

It is on this premise that, Keyamo chambers has written a strong worded petition to the director of SSS, Abuja to call his men to order, investigate the matter and allow the police authority to do their civic duty, more so in a matter that’s purely civil with pending law suits.

‘’The action of the officer and men of the State Security Service is a calculated and orchestrated ploy to frustrate and arm-twist the office of the Inspector General of Police from carrying out its constitutional duties of maintaining law and order as the matter in question has nothing to do with national security’’, the petition stated.

Oleksandr Usyk Defeats Tyson Fury Again, Solidifies Legacy Among Boxing Greats

Ukrainian boxing sensation Oleksandr Usyk retained his heavyweight championship titles and cemented his place in boxing history with a unanimous decision victory over Britain’s Tyson Fury in their rematch on Saturday night.

The judges scored the bout 116-112 in Usyk’s favor across the board, marking his second consecutive win over Fury. This victory extended Usyk’s flawless professional record to 23-0, with 14 knockouts, adding another chapter to a career already highlighted by Olympic gold and an undisputed cruiserweight championship.

A Masterclass Performance

Usyk, 37, showcased his signature precision and relentless pace, repeatedly catching Fury with clean left hooks and dominating the latter stages of the fight. Fury, at 6ft 9in (206cm) and weighing a career-high 281 pounds, attempted to impose his physicality but was unable to break Usyk’s composure.

The fight, held in Saudi Arabia, saw Usyk wearing traditional Cossack attire during his entrance, while Fury entered the arena dressed in a festive Santa-inspired robe to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”

The early rounds were competitive, with Fury landing powerful jabs and body shots. However, Usyk’s endurance and tactical brilliance began to shine in the middle rounds. The Ukrainian landed sharp combinations and dictated the tempo, including a stunning uppercut in the final round that left little doubt about the outcome.

“I thought I’ve won both fights,” Fury said post-match, sporting a bruised right eye. “But I’ll always believe until the day I die that I won that fight.”

A Legacy Sealed

Usyk’s victory solidified his standing as one of the greatest heavyweights in history. Already the first undisputed heavyweight of the four-belt era, Usyk joins the ranks of legends like Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, and Mike Tyson.

The bout, reported to have a prize purse of $190 million, also underscored Saudi Arabia’s growing influence in global sports. Usyk, who served briefly as a soldier during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, celebrated his victory by hoisting a symbolic sabre belonging to Ukrainian nationalist hero Ivan Mazepa.

Fury’s Uncertain Future

The defeat leaves Fury’s future in doubt. Once unbeaten across 35 fights, Fury now stands at 34-2-1. His attempt to reclaim glory after a brief retirement in 2022 has been marred by back-to-back losses to Usyk.

Usyk, on the other hand, continues to add to his already remarkable resume, leaving fans and critics alike in awe of his technical skill, resilience, and determination. As the heavyweight division looks ahead, Usyk’s reign appears unshakable, and his place among boxing’s all-time greats is firmly secured.
