Activist Chief Gani Topba has continued to make allegations against businessman Chief Lesi Maol, accusing him of amassing wealth through activities linked to Ogoni oil and other alleged crimes.

On May 30, 2026, Topba took to social media, claiming that there was a plot to use security agencies to arrest him. The video quickly went viral, generating widespread reactions across Ogoniland and beyond.

In one of the videos, Topba alleged that Lesi Maol had been undermining the Federal Government's efforts toward the resumption of oil activities in Ogoniland.

«"We know all of them. They are responsible for importing ammunition into Ogoniland. They have been sabotaging the Federal Government's efforts on oil resumption in Ogoniland," Topba alleged.»

The allegations sparked intense debate on social media, with many people questioning the source of the billionaire businessman’s wealth, while others dismissed the claims as unsubstantiated.

In a fresh video released days after Lesi Maol reportedly acquired a 2026 Lexus LX 600 bulletproof SUV, Topba criticized those celebrating the businessman.

«"Ogoni people should grow up and stop celebrating people who buy cars with proceeds from crime. Young people in other parts of the world own such vehicles in large numbers and do not make noise about them. That is a poverty mentality," he said.»

Topba further stated that he is not intimidated by anyone and maintained that he has submitted petitions to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Department of State Services (DSS), and the Nigeria Police Force, calling for an investigation into Lesi Maol's activities in Ogoniland from 2000 to date.

As of the time of this report, Lesi Maol has not publicly responded to the latest allegations.

APPEAL COURT NULLIFY RIVERS APC WARD, LOCAL GOVERNMENT, AND STATE CONGRESSES THAT PRODUCED TONY OKOCHA

The Court of Appeal has upheld a high court order nullifying the Rivers APC ward, local government, and state congresses that produced the Tony Okocha-led exco, which is loyal to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike. Okocha had filed an appeal at the appeal court against the ex parte order of the high court which restrained the APC from conducting its congresses in the state, arguing that the high court had no jurisdiction in the matter and, as such, was not empowered to make the said order. However, the appellate court, in a decision delivered yesterday by Justice Elfreida Williams-Dawodu JCA, affirmed the jurisdiction of the high court in issuing that order and threw out the appeal for want of competence. Meanwhile, Ikenga Chibike, the publicity secretary of the Tony Okocha-led exco, has assured party members that there is no threat to the status of the exco pending full trial of the matter. He also added that the party lawyers will study the full judgment and advise on th...

BREAKING NEWS: CHIBUIKE AMAECHI DECLARES ADC PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES FRAUDULENT, REJECTS RESULTS

Former Minister of Transportation and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, has rejected the outcome of the party’s presidential primaries, describing the results as “concocted” and lacking credibility.

According to him, he had earlier made it clear that he would only accept the outcome of the primaries if the process reflected democratic principles and transparency.
