Aides To Police Dss, Agf Drags Gov Ayade by voiceoftheupcom: 5:36am On Oct 25, 2017 |
AIDES TO POLICE DSS, AGF DRAGS GOV AYADE source: http://www.eyesoflagos.com/2017/10/aides-to-police-dss-agf-drags-gov-ayade.html Many indigenes and residents of Cross River State were on joyous mood when the news broke that the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami in response to petitions written by well- meaning indigenes of the state has ordered investigation into allegations of threats to bodily harm against the critics of the Cross River State government. According to one of the news reports published on Eyes Of Lagos on October 24, 2017 with the title, “Aides To Police DSS, AGF Drags Gov Ayade”, the Minister of Justice and the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami (SAN), has dragged the Cross River State governor, Prof. Ben Ayade and some of his principal aides to the Department of State Services (DSS), and the Force Headquarters over allegations of threats of bodily harm to and assassination of his political opponents in the state. There are also sundry charges of corruption and abuse of office levelled against the governor in the petitions. Eyes Of Lagos gathered that, a letter, referenced HAGF/DSS/2017/Vol.1/15 from the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation, dated September 26, 2017 and titled: “Request for Investigation” was directed to the Director-General of the DSS, requesting the DSS to investigate petitions which the AGF’s office had received, alleging that some top government officials, are strategically planning to harm one Mr. Paul Ifere among other critics of the state government. A similar request letter, HAGF/IGP/207?VOL.1/17 was also on the same date, addressed to the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) in his Abuja office. Sent along with the Office of the Attorney-General’s petition, which was signed on behalf of the AGF by Okoi Obon-Obla, the Senior Special Adviser (SSA) to the President on Prosecution, was a recorded compact disc, which as the AGF office said, “captures the conversation between the petitioner and a source within the Government House”, in Calabar, who, based on the letter from the AGF’s office, “reported the assassination plan of some indigenes of Cross River State that have openly opposed the bad government policies in Cross River State.” In light of these, the AGF requested the DSS and the Nigeria Police to carry out a thorough investigation in order to ascertain the veracity or otherwise of the allegations contained in the petitions. As a concerned indigene of Cross River State we are watching with trepidation the atmosphere of fear occasioned by political intolerance in our state under the present leadership. Due to fear of being killed, unlawfully jailed and injured by the agents of the present administration, many are afraid of speaking out against the maladministration and corruption in the PDP government in the state. Only recently, Mr Paul Ifere was bodily harmed and unlawfully detained for allegedly criticizing government policies on his Facebook wall. It was common knowledge in Cross River that the state government authorities connived with the police to ensure that he was detained indefinitely. It would be recalled that recently the Cross River State Commissioner of Police, CP Hafiz Inuwa dragged Mr Ifere Paul to a Magistrate Court 1for what was allegedly a mere expression of his misgivings about the spate of political killings, kidnapping, cultism, armed robbery and other crimes in the state, that was unheard of a few years ago. Meanwhile legal experts have kicked against taking Ifere Paul to a Magistrate Court since the offence he allegedly committed cannot be heard in such a court. They are insisting that it was a tactics by the state government to detain him indefinitely. This is so sad. Ifere Paul and several opponents of this government have lost their businesses and their lives made unbearable for speaking out against corruption and maladministration that are rampant in the present administration. Similarly, it was reported that the Calabar City FM, recently set up by Mr. Jeddi-Agba was shut down for no discernible reason, while wagging tongues in the state widely claim that the station was closed on the orders of the state government. In a similar development, the owner of Hit FM in Calabar, Tony Ugbe, was reportedly kidnapped a few months ago, raising allegations that he might have suffered his fate on account of the regular attack of the policies of the Ayade administration by the vibrant FM station. Given the aforementioned challenges faced by the APC supporters and other opponents of the Cross River State government, which has lead to deaths and injuries, we are most grateful for the intervention of the AGF on the deteriorating state of security in the state and the assault on free speech and association. We are also using this opportunity to call on our amiable President Muhammadu Buhari to call the government of Cross River State to order. We also reiterate our unalloyed support to the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
