Leave Tonto Dike Alone; HURIWA Tells NDLEA: Ask NDLEA To
Pursue Drug Barons Instead
01.07.2013, 16:08 Local
Human Rights Writers Association Of Nigeria (HURIWA) has
come to the defence of Miss Tonto Dike following NDLEA's
threat of arresting the movie star
In a media statement issued by the National
Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko and
National media Director, Miss Zainab Yussuf, they
said NDLEA is chasing shadows by threatening to
arrest a Nigerian citizen whose alleged 'marijuana
photograph' does not constitute hard core judicial evidence but
rather a social media contraption that may never stand credibility
test in the competent court of law.
The group urged the anti drug agency to not waste its time on
baseless pursuit and shine their light on the high profile drug
barons in the country.
HURIWA asked NDLEA to also concentrate on how to repair its
public image damaged by the costly mistake it made during the
arrest, detention and investigation of the popular Yoruba
comedian Baba Suwe (the popular expensive faecis/excreta
gamble by the NDLEA).
HURIWA stated thus; "We are shocked that the NDLEA has
deviated from their time tested mandate of going after big drug
barons who have brought international opprobrium to the image
of Nigeria and are now engaged in 'media circus show' of
attempting to arrest an innocent Nigerian lady Miss.
Tonto Dike over an allegation that falls flat on its face as an
irredeemably unsubstantiated contraption that will inevitably fail
any good test of credibility in the competent court of law. Law
enforcement is not done by emotion or sentiment but on hard
core evidence, empirically tested to be credible. Now that Miss.
Tonto Dike has denied ever appearing in that allegedly forged
photograph on the social media, NDLEA should leave this lady
alone and go after big barons".
NDLEA spokesman Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju had stated thus; "Our
attention has been drawn to the post quite frankly and I can tell
you that action will be taken on it. The law is clear and NDLEA
has been very clear on the issue. No one is permitted to sell, use,
cultivate or encourage the use of Indian hemp in Nigeria. The
substance is one of the banned narcotics in the country."
But HURIWA faulted the move saying that the allegation against
Miss. Tonto Dike at best amounted to 'tissue of speculative
contraption' which should not attract the attention of any
serious-minded law enforcement agency except if it has run out
of idea on how to pursue and arrest high profile drug barons
who have flooded major streets of state capitals with hard drugs
leading to serial addictions by the Nigerian youth.
The Rights group said; "NDLEA is being clever by half by stating
that it will arrest and jail Miss. Tonto Dike based on mere
untenable evidence of marijuana photograph on the social media.
Why did the NDLEA fail to seek public clarification from the Borno
state governor who was reported in a section of the media to
have alleged that drug addicts are in his cabinet? Why is NDLEA
after this lady? Is it because she is a woman whereas it has not
bothered to look the way of the Borno state governor that alleged
the presence of drug addicts in the state cabinet nor has the
agency gone after the international musicians who appear
regularly in the Nigerian media puffing what looks like
marijuana?"

HURIWA or whatever they call themselves should just shut up!
The drug barons they want arrested started small and kept growing, if they had been nipped at Tonto's stage, they wont be barons today.
Many young people think Tonto is a good role model and wont mind towing her line. If she is arrested and sanctioned, it might just be my cousin or your sister who would be jolted back in the right part. She is a disgrace.
