Court Ruling: Ambassador Onoh gives conditions to apologise to Ex-Foreign Affairs Minister, Onyeama
Nigeria’s former envoy to Namibia, Ambassador Lilian Onoh, has given conditions to apologise to Ex-Foreign Affairs Minister, Geoffrey Onyeama, as ruled by Justice Keziah Ogbonnaya of an Abuja High Court on 4th June, 2025.
The ruling had recognised Onyeama as the non-human entity known as “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs” of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Justice Ogbonnaya ruled that Amb. Onoh should apologise to Onyeama for the following statement, “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is only trying to continue its corrupt practices which have brought Nigeria to great disrepute”.
Reacting to the ruling, Amb. Onoh said as follows in a statement dated 25th August, 2025: “I hereby request that Geoffrey Onyeama publishes the following documents of proof of identity in two Nigerian Dailies in order for me to comply with Justice Keziah Ogbonnaya’s ruling:
i) The biodata page of his Nigerian passport or INEC Voter’s Card or N.I.N. Card, with his name clearly written as, “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs”;
ii) Evidence of total castration/sex change operation performed in a Nigerian Government hospital and notarised in court;
iii) Application to a court requesting name change and gender reassignment from male to neuter;
iv) Affidavit from at least two independent doctors certifying that Geoffrey Onyeama is now a eunuch, in support of the motion for gender reassignment along with a psychiatric evaluation report certifying that he was in his right senses before undergoing surgery;
v) Court documents recognising Geoffrey Jideofor Kwusike Onyeama as “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs” and as “it” and not “he”;
vi) Publication of Change of Name and Gender Reassignment in two Nigerian newspapers, as required by law; and
vii) Official Gazette of either late Major-General Buhari or President Tinubu’s promulgation re-designating the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as Geoffrey Onyeama or vice versa.
Additionally, Geoffrey Onyeama must also publish legal proof of when he assumed his identity as me, Ambassador Lilian Onoh, as also ruled by Justice Keziah Ogbonnaya on 4th June 2025, re. Declaration 3: “I (Ambassador Lilian Onoh) refused to do either and kept up a steady stream of reports on the unbridled looting they were committing, which of course landed me in hot water, leading to an abusive attack on my career and an orchestrated media assassination campaign… ”
It should however be noted that not only am I, Ambassador Lilian Onoh, (female) alive and well, at no point did I give Geoffrey Jideofor Kwusike Onyeama permission to assume my identity or give Justice Keziah Ogbonnaya permission to give away my identity to Geoffrey Onyeama to enable him become a “she” in addition to an “it”.
Accrdong to Amb. Ooh, “It would therefore not be proper for me to apologise to the wrong person/entity, especially as the CTC of court proceedings show that Geoffrey Jideofor Kwusike Onyeama testified in court as George Onyeama, with two different addresses, without any objection from Justice Keziah Ogbonnaya. This evidence of schizophrenia, along with his existence as a non-binary, gender-fluid, non-human entity known as, “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs/It/ He/ She/ Shim”, makes it mandatory for the being currently known as Geoffrey Onyeama to present legal identity documents for each of his several identities, as recognised by the learned Justice Ogbonnaya in order for me know which of his multiple identities she wants me to apologise to.
“Finally, it should also be noted that Justice Keziah Ogbonnaya has still not released the CTC of her ruling over 15 months after the adoption of Final Written Addresses in May 2024; and almost three months after delivering her judgement on 4th June 2025, in complete violation of the Law that she is sworn to uphold and execute without bias. She has also not withdrawn the death threat she issued from the bench in January 2024 – an act that is a criminal offence under Nigerian and International Law.
WITH EFFECT FROM 4TH SEPTEMBER 2025, GEOFFREY JIDEOFOR KWUSIKE ONYEAMA’S STATUS AS THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA WILL BECOME ENSHRINED IN LAW.
“National Assembly; Minister of Justice and AG of the Federation; FCT Chief Judge; Justice Keziah Ogbonnaya; Nigerian Bar Association; National Judicial Commission; IG of Police; Ministry of Health; National Population Commission; Nigerian Immigration Service; Ministry of Foreign Affairs; All Diplomatic Missions, and the general public at home and abroad, please take note.
“Geoffrey Jideofor Kwusike Onyeama, a.k.a. George Onyeama should also take note and comply.”

… As Enugu Air sets eyes on W/A regional operations
Côte d’Ivoire and Enugu State have resolved to deepen economic cooperation between the West African nation and Nigeria, with a particular focus on Enugu State.
This was even as Enugu Air set its eyes on flight operations across the West African region.
The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Côte d’Ivoire to Nigeria, Mr. Kalilou Traoré, and Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah, made this known during a courtesy visit by the Ambassador to Government House, Enugu, on Monday.
Ambassador Traoré, who was accompanied during the visit by the Chairman and CEO of Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Ltd., Chief Innocent Chukwuma, underscored the strong bond between Nigeria and Côte d’Ivoire.
He expressed his appreciation for the invitation by the Chairman of Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing to tour their world-class facilities in Enugu and commended Governor Mbah for making Enugu welcoming to both visitors and businesses.
“We couldn’t come here without stopping by to visit you and to also ensure that we strengthen economic cooperation between the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire and Nigeria in general and Enugu State in particular. I invite you to Côte d’Ivoire with other collaborators to discuss based on your area of interest and how we can make it mutually fruitful,” Mr. Traore said.
Speaking, Governor Mbah explained that his administration set out to ensure that it created an environment where businesses could thrive and where capital would be safe, and security assured.
Governor Mbah recalled that during the campaign, his team had set out a blueprint of what could be achieved, one being to launch a quantum leap to grow the economy exponentially.
According to him, this growth would come through collaboration, partnership, and the attraction and unlocking of private capital, which, he emphasized, was always guided by return on investment and the assurance of safety.
“We have invested hugely in making sure that we have a safe city largely covered by technology.
“What may interest you is that we launched Enugu Air recently. A few days ago, we got approval to operate regional flights. Hopefully, the next time you visit, or maybe myself visiting Côte d’Ivoire, will be by Enugu Air. So, we won’t have to go through Lagos or Abuja. We hope to start operating regional flights from Enugu to different West African destinations.
“We would like to collaborate with you. It will be interesting for us to know those areas where we can work together in order to achieve our common goals,” Mbah stated.
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central has finally regained access into her office.
This came hours after it was unsealed by the Sergeant at Arms of the National Assembly.
Natasha marched from the FCT High Court to the National Assembly with thousands of her supporters and entered her office after initial fracas involving the supporters and security agencies.
Addressing journalists inside her office, she said it was amazing what she passed through in the last six months.
“It’s actually amazing how much we have had to face and survive in the past six months and most of it happened in the full glare of Nigerians.
“From the unjust suspension to the recall; we survived the recall; we survived the road and waterways in Kogi State that we had to fly in with helicopter.
She thanked God Almighty, and lauded the people of Kogi State and Nigerians.
The female Senator added: “We can’t cow down in the face of injustice; no one is more Nigerian than us; Senator Akpabio is not more of a Senator than I am; he is not the governor of this place and he treated me as if I were his servant or I was a domestic staff in his house.
“It is very unfortunate that at this time after so many years of democracy we have the National Assembly being run under such dictatorship; it is unacceptable.”

Sowore petitions Florida Attorney General over Wike’s alleged secret $6 million Florida Mansions bought in cash
Human rights activist and publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore has petitioned the “Attorney General of Florida, Hon. James Uthmeier,” seeking the “forfeiture and prosecution of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike,” over “illicit property acquisitions” in the United States.
The petition, “dated September 22, 2025,” was “signed by his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, Esq.”
The petition accuses Wike of “secretly purchasing multi-million-dollar real estate in Florida using suspicious cash transactions designed to conceal the source of funds.”
According to the petition, Wike, along with his wife, Justice Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike, purchased three “luxury lakeside properties in Winter Springs, Seminole County, Florida,” valued at “over $6 million.”
The petition lists the properties, all of which were “purchased in cash.”
The document also notes that the purchases were made via “quit claim deeds between July 2021 and September 2023” and “transferred directly to Wike’s children,” bypassing banking oversight and raising “serious money laundering concerns.”
The petition alleges that Wike failed to “declare these foreign assets to Nigeria’s Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) as required under the Constitution.”
Nyesom Wike and Omoyele Sowore
It also notes that his legitimate income as a public servant “could not sustain such multi-million-dollar acquisitions.”
Adeyanju argued that the transactions violated “Florida state law” and “U.S. federal anti-money laundering statutes.”
He cited the “U.S. Department of Justice’s Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative” as a precedent for the case, stating, “The U.S. Department of Justice’s Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative, launched in 2010, provides a ready mechanism for action in these kinds of cases, where corrupt foreign officials launder stolen public wealth into the United States under the guise of ordinary family transfers.”
The petition asserts that the acquisitions “are not isolated acts” and “form part of a pattern of corruption that Mr. Wike has cultivated throughout his career as a public servant and politician.”
It adds, “Most recently, as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, he has been credibly accused of allocating thousands of hectares of the capital’s most valuable public lands to his sons, Jordan and Joaquin, through shell companies and proxies.”
The petition also argues that while Wike’s wife was the named grantor in the deeds, it is “evident that the acquisitions and subsequent transfers to their children were undertaken in concert with her husband,” and that her income “could not reasonably sustain multi-million-dollar cash purchases of luxury homes in Florida.”
In the petition, Sowore urged the Florida Attorney General to:
Investigate the source of funds.
Commence forfeiture proceedings against the identified properties.
Institute criminal prosecution against all parties involved.
Impose visa bans and sanctions on Wike to prevent further abuse of U.S. territory.
The petition concluded with a warning that failure to act would make the U.S. a sanctuary for corruption.
The petition stated, “The people of Nigeria have been impoverished for decades by the diversion of public funds,” and “It would be a perversion of justice if those funds, siphoned through abuse of office, are allowed to flourish in Florida’s real estate market.”
