MAU students sue Pres Goodluck Jonathan to Federal High Court
The institution name change drama has dragged on- even amid the horrific plane crash that killed everybody aboard the Dana Airline in the city of Lagos.
Realtainment has learnt that some students of Moshood Abiola University, have asked a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos to declare that the power to change or amend the name of University of Lagos being a body corporate, having perpetual succession with common seal as provided under the University of Lagos Act 1967(as amended) belongs to the national legislatures.
The students, who had sued President Goodluck Jonathan, also asked the court to declare that UNILAG, being a creation of an act of the National Assembly, the University of Lagos Act, 1967 (as amended), cannot be governed except in accordance with the provisions of the University of Lagos Act, 1967.
The students are also praying the court to declare that the announcement contained in the President’s May 29, 2012, broadcast, changing the name of University of Lagos to Moshood Abiola University, is unconstitutional, ultra vires, null and void and of no effect whatsoever.
The students want the court to resolve whether the President, in his capacity as the Visitor to University of Lagos has the power under the University of Lagos Act, 1967, to unilaterally change the name of the institution to Moshood Abiola University.

Tragedy as 60-yr-old widow murdered in her home
OWERRI—THE hitherto quite Umuezeala, Nzerem community in Ehime Mbano local government area of Imo State, has been thrown into confusion and mourning, after the brutal murder of a 60-year-old widow, Mrs. Mary Agada.
Vanguard gathered that it took up to two days before the community discovered the death of Mrs Agada and accusing fingers were being pointed to the late widow’s 35-year old son, who was still at large at press time.
“Until we noticed that she was out of circulation, nobody knew what happened to the woman. Her door was securely locked from outside”, a villager, who spoke on condition of anonymity said.
Answering another question, the villager said “the sudden disappearance of mother and son, heightened our suspicion and started digging into the mystery”.
Continuing, the villager explained that when the woman’s door was opened, her lifeless body was seen lying in a pool of her own blood, while the blood-soaked knife was also abandoned in the room by her assailant.
It was gathered from some villagers before this sad development, that the deceased had appealed in vain to her son to stop hard drugs business.
“A formal report was made to Ehime Mbano Police Division, which removed and deposited her body at Saint Vincent De Paul mortuary, Umunakanu”, another villager said .
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Sam Oodee, said the command would investigate the report and get back later.
