   Crime Free Lagos, a community advocacy group, has accused officers of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, Lagos, of allegedly frustrating the prosecution of a murder suspect, Ahmed Tajudeen Akanbi, by repeatedly failing to produce him before a magistrate court despite several court directives. In a statement issued on Thursday, the group expressed concern over what it described as a pattern of non-compliance with court orders regarding the suspect, who is currently in police custody following his reported apprehension by INTERPOL in Cotonou, Benin Republic. According to the group, Akanbi is required to appear before a Chief Magistrate Court in Ogba for committal proceedings and subsequent referral of the case to the High Court over allegations connected to the deaths of two individuals, identified as Sherif Salami, popularly known as Agboworin, and Prince Ademola Akinloye. Crime Free Lagos alleged that police officers responsible for the suspect's cus...

 .It is no longer just about specifications, storage size, or camera strength. Those things still matter, of course, but they are no longer the full story.  Increasingly, the phone someone carries is starting to reflect something else entirely.The way it looks, feels, fits in a hand, shows up in photos, and blends into daily life has become just as important as what it can technically do.Because today, your smartphone is not just a device.  It is part of your identity.That is the thinking behind the Infinix HOT 70, a lineup that leans heavily into colour, texture, and expression in a way that feels closer to fashion than traditional consumer electronics.And in many ways, it raises an interesting question: if your phone reflected you more closely, what would it say?If your phone reflected your personality…It would probably not look the same as everyone else’s. That idea sits at the centre of the HOT 70. Instead of treating design as something static, the lineup explores co...

. Rather than positioning innovation solely around performance metrics, the HOT 70 places greater emphasis on design, personalization, self-expression, and lifestyle. In doing so, it reflects a broader shift in the role smartphones play in people's identity .Today's smartphones are no longer simply communication devices. They have become constant companions, appearing in everything from social media content and work meetings to travel experiences and everyday interactions.  They are among the most visible personal items people own, sitting alongside fashion, music, and digital content as tools through which individuals express their identities. This is particularly true for younger consumers, who increasingly view technology as an extension of their personality rather than merely a functional tool. For this generation, the question is no longer just what a smartphone can do, but what it says about the person carrying it.It is against this backdrop that the HOT 70 enters the mar...

  Union Bank’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer sat with 30 of Nigeria’s most promising young leaders for a frank conversation on character, relationships and the discipline of growth.
