A Tale of Two Locations and One Citizenship by Lawson Akhigbe
Passports are supposed to be the great equalizers of national identity. If two people carry the green-backed book stamped with the Nigerian coat of arms, the constitution insists they share the exact same claim to fundamental dignity and justice. But citizenship, like roaming data on a prepaid SIM, appears to depend entirely on which borders your passport happens to cross.https://lawakhigbe.com/2026/09/19/a-tale-of-two-locations-and-one-citizenship-by-lawson-akhigbe/

Bail: Nigeria’s Grand Illusion of Justice, Where “Granted” Means “Good Luck Finding a Ghost Surety” by Lawson Akhigbe
In the theater of Nigerian criminal justice, bail is the sparkling prop they wheel out to dazzle the audience with tales of constitutional benevolence, only for the curtain to fall on a punchline so absurd it would make a stand-up comedian blush. Our dear leaders preach presumption of innocence while tying defendants in knots tighter than a Lagos traffic jam. Let's dissect this farce with the cold scalpel of statute, constitution, and case law—before contrasting it with the recent […] -

Twenty Years Late and Several Republics Short: On EJ, Atiku and Nigeria’s Habit of Reheating Cold Corruption by Lawson Akhigbe
In 1999, Olusegun Obasanjo and Atiku Abubakar rode into Aso Rock together, a presidential double act that Nigerians assumed would age like most political marriages: quietly, then not at all. They survived one term. They won a second in 2003. Then, somewhere in that second term, Obasanjo discovered a constitutional itch that the 1999 Constitution's two term, eight year ceiling on the presidency simply would not scratch. He wanted a third term. Atiku, nursing a presidential ambition of his own and possessed of the inconvenient habit of reading the Constitution literally, said so publicly. The friendship ended there. -

Who Voted for Lord Denning? – When the Street Cross-Examined the Bench by Lawson Akhigbe
The slogan gained prominence in the aftermath of the Birmingham pub bombings and the subsequent conviction of six Irish men the now infamous Birmingham Six. Their case quickly became a lightning rod for allegations of coerced confessions, police misconduct, and a justice system more interested in closure than correctness. -

Overview of the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) by Lawson Akhigbe
The Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) represents one of Nigeria’s most significant financial interventions in response to systemic banking distress. Its debt enforcement history reflects a blend of aggressive statutory powers, evolving legislative enhancements, notable operational successes, persistent challenges, and occasional perceptions of uneven application influenced by political or economic factors. Below is a thorough, chronological exploration of AMCON’s enforcement journey, including context, key mechanisms, statistics, notable cases (with nuances around the Ben Murray-Bruce/Silverbird matter), challenges, and broader implications. -

Navigating the Void: Why Nigeria Needs a Corporate Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) Framework
In a standard DPA regime, a company that self-reports and cooperates can avoid the "corporate death penalty" of a criminal conviction. In Nigeria, we are currently forced to rely on the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) 2015. While the ACJA provides for Plea Bargaining, it is a fundamentally different animal from a DPA: -

The Changing Face of Justice: A Deep Dive into Nigeria’s Judicial Funding Reforms (2024–2026) by Lawson Akhigbe
Nigeria has finally built the legal architecture for a self-sufficient judiciary. The challenge for the remainder of 2026 and beyond is ensuring fiscal discipline. With the judiciary now managing its own billions, the public is shifting its focus from "Why is the court broke?" to "How transparently is the court spending our money?" For the first time in history, the Nigerian judiciary has the tools to be truly independent, now, it just needs to prove it can manage them. -
