Unmasking the Abuse of Power: Barrister Ovey Yakubu’s Reign of Injustice in Nasarawa State
By Chike Kummah
The legal profession, designed to champion justice and uphold the rule of law, has been marred by a disheartening case in Nasarawa State. Barrister Ovey Yakubu, an official of the Nigerian Bar Association Lafia, stands accused of abusing his legal prowess to wreak havoc in the lives of his ex-wife, Sarah, and her family.
The saga unfolded when Yakubu allegedly subjected Sarah to domestic abuse and sought to tarnish her professional standing. Matters escalated as he denied her access to their two-year-old child, keeping the innocent toddler in a distant village. Sarah, undeterred by the odds, embarked on a courageous quest to reclaim her son.
Despite successfully retrieving her child, a court judgment favoring Yakubu left Sarah devastated, questioning a judiciary seemingly tilted against her. Beyond the courtroom, Yakubu’s abuse extended to unlawfully detaining and harassing Sarah and her relatives, leveraging his influence to exploit the police force as a tool of intimidation.
The repercussions of Yakubu’s actions reverberate throughout the community, causing emotional trauma, fear, and anxiety for Sarah’s family and sympathizers. Multiple legal battles drained Sarah’s resources, leaving her with limited means to rebuild her life.
As Sarah remains in hiding, Yakubu intensifies his campaign of harassment, filing cases against anyone showing sympathy towards her. This relentless pursuit not only undermines justice but also exposes a complete lack of empathy on Yakubu’s part.
Sarah’s plight raises serious questions about the effectiveness and impartiality of the judiciary system, leaving her in a constant struggle for survival. Urgent action is imperative to prevent further abuse of power and restore public trust in the legal system.
The legal fraternity and authorities in Nasarawa State must swiftly address Barrister Ovey Yakubu’s actions, ensuring accountability within the legal profession. His abuse of power, harassment, and manipulation of the law demand immediate attention to protect the rights of the innocent and restore the honor of the legal system.
Investigations by Nigerian Concord Newspaper reveal that the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers Council, Mr. Pius Akutah, has allegedly misappropriated public funds for a lavish lifestyle.
According to our findings, within months of assuming office, Akutah allegedly purchased a bulletproof SUV valued at approximately N850 million. In addition, he is reported to have acquired over twenty exotic SUVs for use as a convoy.
Akutah is also said to have acquired multiple high-value properties, including three in Abuja’s Maitama and Asokoro districts worth over N2 billion, and two in Lagos’ Banana Island valued at N1.8 billion. These acquisitions appear far beyond the scope of his official salary and allowances.
Further investigation suggests that Akutah may be using public funds to support political ambitions, including allegedly grooming militants across 23 local government areas in Benue State for a potential 2027 gubernatorial bid.
Staff of the Shippers Council reportedly claim that Akutah frequently accesses the council’s treasury without proper authorization. Some insiders have indicated that a petition will soon be filed with the EFCC, ICPC, and the Presidency to report his alleged misconduct.
