They said no one is bigger than the law but….- Lawyer Raises Alarm Over Emir’s Law Class Outfit

• Barrister Adekunle Olanipekun has criticized the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, for allegedly attending a law class without the required white shirt and black tie
• According to Olanipekun, the development raises serious questions about equality and standards within the legal profession.

A Nigerian lawyer, Adekunle Olanipekun, has stirred debate online after calling out the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, over his alleged appearance at a law class without adhering to the approved dress code.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Olanipekun addressed the Council of Legal Education, expressing concern that the Emir, who reportedly commenced his LL.B programme, attended a law class without wearing the mandatory white shirt and black tie traditionally required of law students.

According to Olanipekun, the development raises serious questions about equality and standards within the legal profession. He argued that allowing such an exception undermines the principle that no one is above the law.

“This is not good for our profession,” he wrote, adding that the custodians of legal education should take a firm stance on the matter before it sets a dangerous precedent.

The post has since sparked mixed reactions online, with some agreeing that rules should apply equally to everyone regardless of status,

In other news….Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, a well-known clergyman and vocal critic of the killing of Christians in Plateau State, has spoken out to debunk rumours circulating about his health, firmly rejecting claims that he is dead or gravely ill.

In a video making the rounds on social media, the cleric addressed the reports head-on, assuring the public that he is alive and well despite widespread speculation.

“Some of you said that I’m dead. I’m alive, I’m not dead. Some of you said they have flown me abroad and that I’m about to die from sickness. I am alive,” he said.

“Those who have concluded that I’m finished, I’m still alive, and today I will perform the latest warrior in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.”

His response comes amid rising concern sparked by a Plateau State journalist, Masara Kim Usman, who recently urged Christians within the state and across the country to pray for Rev. Dachomo. Usman had claimed that the cleric was experiencing a relapse of a liver condition and might need urgent medical attention outside Nigeria.

Rev. Dachomo serves as the Regional Chairman of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area. He reportedly underwent a successful liver transplant in India in early 2025, with his wife donating the organ.

Upon his return to Nigeria, the cleric became even more outspoken in condemning what he described as the ongoing and systematic killing of Christians in Plateau State. His bold stance has made him one of the few religious leaders to consistently address the issue publicly, despite repeated denials by the Nigerian government.
