WHY HAS PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN NOT REPLIED TO KHOMEINI BUKHARI'S PETITION? by KBukhari: 4:00pm On Mar 03, 2012
Dear ALL LOVELY NIGERIANS,

Hope you are all fine. I have started this topic as I handed a petition to Minister Labaran Maku on Thursday the 23rd of February, 2012 at the BEN TV SECURITY SEMINAR and till date there has been no reply by PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN. I want to start of by saying I have read all the comments that people have wrote in many forums and pages and want to say I LOVE NIGERIA, INFACT I LOVE IT VERY MUCH. BY GOD'S GRACE SOON I WILL ALSO MARRY A NICE NIGERIAN GIRL. I don't understand why some of you are annoyed that I am fighting for justice, when I get justice, it means I have introduced positive change. Me getting justice is not just for myself but for the country. I share common feelings with Nigerian people as we both love Nigeria and want to see a better Nigeria. I have fought so hard to get justice and till this day nothing has happened. I have gone to every corner to get justice and yet no one has seemed to react or care. I am deeply sorry for all the Nigerians that have gone through similar incidents both home and abroad but as we are all humans and from one ADAM we need to unite for a better tomorrow. We need to forget about race, religion, colour or any other differences. I have joined this group so anyone who would like to question me can do so freely. I am innocent and therefore it is my right to get justice. I WOULD LIKE TO JOIN HANDS WITH ALL NIGERIANS AS ONE AND ASK IF YOU CAN KINDLY SUPPORT ME IN GETTING JUSTICE. I ALSO HAVE A PAGE ON FACEBOOK CALLED 'JUSTICE 4 KHOMEINI BUKHARI' (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Justice-4-Khomeini-Bukhari/185337854889174) WHERE I UPDATE ALL REGARDING MY CASE. I PRAY SOON MY CASE COMES TO A NICE RESOLUTION SO I CAN COME BACK TO NIGERIA AND TO MARRY THE LOVE OF MY LIFE. Please also look at my YOUTUBE videos which have been uploaded for all to see regarding my case. Lastly, below my response is my petition to PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN which I handed to Minister Labaran Maku at the BEN TV Security Seminar which took place on Thursday 23rd February, 2012. I had to write this petition to PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN as after writing to everyone else and never recieved a response he was my last resort. THE QUESTION I STILL ASK IS, WHY HAS PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN NOT REPLIED TO MY PETITION? IS IT BECAUSE HE DOES NOT CARE? THANKYOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION. MAY GOD BLESS NIGERIA. MAY GOD BLESS THE PEOPLE OF NIGERIA. LOOK FORWARD TO ALL YOUR RESPONSES. WITH REGARDS, KHOMEINI BUKHARI. 


KHOMEINI BUKHARI'S PETITION TO PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN:


To: The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR
Aso Rock Villa,
Abuja, FCT,
Nigeria

Thursday 23rd February, 2012


Dear Your Excellency,

[center]Re: Request For Action To Be Taken Against The Two Guilty Police Officers Who Robbed And Harassed Me
[/center]

Dear President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Your Excellency Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR,

I am writing to you as up till today no action has been taken by the Nigerian Authorities regarding my case.

My case is regarding an incident that occurred on Saturday the 29th of October which till this day has left me very shocked and traumatized and has left a scar on me. My name is Khomeini Bukhari and I am a British National. I am the Head of Africa Division of the company I work for. I have been going to Nigeria since January 2009 and have absolutely loved every moment of it. This visit to Nigeria was for the purpose of meeting my fiance in order to make our wedding arrangements and to meet my in laws once again to formalize our plans. On Saturday 29th October, in the evening, I entered Millennium Park in Abuja at 7pm as I wanted to relax. Upon leaving at around 8pm two drunk police officers stopped me, they told me no visitors are allowed after 6pm, I explained to them I didn't know this as I'm a visitor and when I entered at 7pm there were lots of people and nobody stopped me at the gate. They took to me to a dark spot in the park and sat me on a rock where they harassed me. I pleaded with them and they were threatening to beat me and strip me Unclad and kidnap me and the rest. They asked for my I.D and I said I left it in the hotel, they then searched me, upon searching me they found 200,000NGN in my pocket and took it from me, they also took my Breitling Chronomat Evolution Wristwatch (worth 1.3 million NGN) and left me with practically nothing, they wanted my phone but I begged and cried. They saw my wallet but I had some change in the wallet pocket and not out so they didn't spot it. I am writing this as I'm very uneasy and going through psychological trauma. I rang a Military General and he was trying to help me, as I was trying to discreetly call the Special Advisor to the president he didn't pick. I couldn't make any more phone calls as told me if they see me try and make any phone calls they will break my phone and told me at this point it is only the three of us so no one can save me, not even the IG of Police nor the President himself. I was very afraid. as in the Nigerian news and in the Nigerian newspapers it always shows how corrupt and dangerous the Nigerian police are and also was very afraid to go to the police station. Over that weekend I had to borrow money from my friends and live very economically.

On Monday 31st October I went to the British High Commission in Abuja and called the Foreign Commonwealth Office and they guided me to Maitama police station. The British High Commission also gave me one of their police escorts to accompany me. I reported to the DIO of the police station and also wrote a full report including the names of the officers and he gave me one Sgt Samson, that day I went with Sgt Samson to the scene and tried my best to re-en-act the scene, he said he will investigate it. After that day I have not heard anything from Sgt Samson nor anyone else in Maitama Police station. The following day I went to the Ministry of Police Affairs, I met with a Mr Victor who said he is the Chief Security Officer to the Minister, he again took a full report from me and he assured me that as I have given a full report  with the police officers names that within 2 days all will be resolved. I asked him about my possessions that were taken of me, he said, that they may not find them but as its the police that did it to me the Government will take full responsibility and compensate me. That day he gave me a Hilux Truck and sent me to FCT Command under the Minister’s instructions, as he claimed, to go and meet with the Assistant Commissioner of Police (operations) Mr Wilson Inalegwu. Upon reaching there he took the documents sent from the Ministry and told me he will assign the best Investigation officer that within a few days all will be resolved, he assigned a Mr Alechenu for me, who till date has not given me any feedback. I have gone back and forth many times to both places however I am not getting any feedback. Unless I don't go to them I don't get an audience. When I call Mr Victor he doesn't pick but when I go to the Ministry to find him, when seeing him he just smiles and says, we are doing our best but does not give me any feedback. Does this mean they don’t care, or are they trying to hide the police officers and cover up the story?

On Thursday 17th November I went to meet ACP (operations) Mr Wilson Inalegwu and he told me, he wants me to meet the Commissioner of Police FCT the following day at any time around 11am. Upon arriving to Command FCT the next day at that time, he was away on a meeting and the Commissioner was in his own meeting. I sat in the waiting room for quite some time then left out of annoyance feeling that they are not serious about my matter. The PA to the Commissioner when talking to him, all he said to me was he will let me know when the Commissioner is free. That is not an answer to give someone.

I am now in Britain and from over here I am still following it up however after giving them my details they have not called me to give me any update. I texted Mr Victor (Chief Security Officer of the Minister of Police Affairs) and the Assistant Commissioner of Police Mr Wilson Inalegwu after there was no reception on their phones on the 21st of November 2011 and have not received a response.

Since I arrived I have also emailed the Foreign Commonwealth Office and the Nigerian High Commission. The SA of the Nigerian High Commissioner, Mr A.O.Enikanolaiye, did not respond to my email however, when I called him on the 30th of November 2011, he said Robberies happen everywhere, and I asked do they happen everywhere by the police or by criminals, he had no answer. Then he said you have reported it to the Nigerian Police so I’m sure they are handling the case. I said I have given them precise details and since I went to their office, which I have several times, I have not received any feedback, they have my UK number and have not bothered to even call. Then again he stayed quiet. He then said currently the High Commissioner is too busy to see me, I asked has he seen my email, he responded he is too busy to see me but if I want to see him (meaning himself) he can meet me. I said I was a visitor from Great Britain to your country and I got robbed by the Nigerian police and they took a lot of money of me and the High Commissioner is too busy to meet me to even say anything, so he doesn’t even have 30 minutes for me. I asked when is it then possible to see him, even if it’s anytime this week or next week or even the week after, he said he doesn’t know. Now the conversation was longer than this but it’s a shame they are downgrading this event, it’s a shame they are not doing anything about it. In Nigeria a lot of crimes are done by the police but that does make it right. Are they covering themselves, do they think if they mess me around I will eventually give up. I have no intention of giving up till I get justice. This type of event is completely unacceptable.

In December, the Chairman of House Committee on Police Affairs asked me to send him a petition which I did. I sent it to him on the 13th  of December, 2011. He promised me he will raise the issue in the National Assembly and get it solved. Till date nothing has been done.

During December, 2011 again, I managed to get hold of Mr Hafiz Ringim and also the FCT Commissioner of Police, Mr Michael Zuokumor. The Ex Inspector- General of Police, Mr Hafiz Ringim promised me endlessly to look into the matter however nothing was done. The FCT Commissioner of Police, Mr Michael Zuokumor said he arrested 7 suspects and told me to come to give a positive ID, upon informing Mr Hafiz Ringim about this he also agreed that yes I need to come to identify the suspects. Once he had told me to come, taking all matters into consideration I then sent him a text message, “Dear Mr Hafiz Ringim, hope you are well and good, upon thinking about all that has happened, me being in the media and also our conversations I am fearful to come to Nigeria however, if you are serious about helping me I would need to be invited officially and the following requirements would need to be met: 1. An official invitation from the Nigerian Police Force stating the reason of my visit. 2. An official letter stating that the Nigerian Police Force will ensure my full security during my whole stay. 3. All my expenses paid including my stay whilst in Nigeria and anywhere I stay must be fully secured by the Nigerian Police Force. I believe if you truly want to help the following will be will be met and I believe from this stage on you must take full control in getting this matter solved. I have already spent a lot of time and efforts in getting myself this far as everybody in the Nigerian Police Force neglected me. Look forward to your response. With Regards, Mr Bukhari”. After that day I never received a response from him nor did he receive my calls again. However I did text him and try calling him again to give him the benefit of the doubt. The next text message I sent to him was, “Dear Mr Hafiz Ringim, hope you are well and good. I am not seeming to get a response from you, if you want to resolve this case, and truly do, lets do it the proper way, the official way, where everything is organized. Look forward to your response. With Regards, Mr Bukhari”. Yet again I never received a response. My texts did deliver and I also tried calling, the phone did ring however no response. At this point I believed I was again being neglected. 

On the 9th of February, 2012, I tried to contact the NEW Acting IG of Police, I called and I believe one of his PAs picked up and advised me to send a text and the IG will act on it and so I did this. The following day in the morning I received a phone call from a Mr Lateef who claimed to be his PA and gave me his email and requested to send a petition addressed to the IG  and that he will hand it to him and so I did. I sent it within the hour.

On the17th of February 2012 at around 19.30 UK time I spoke to your Special Advisor on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati,he calimed he has not heard of my case. We spoke for a good 20 minutes till the phone dropped, he was telling me he will look into the matter and I told him I have heard that line before and have also been promised Heaven and Earth by the others and nothing has been done till date. The call then dropped. Once the call dropped I tried again a couple of times and there was no response, not sure if he got tired and hung up the phone on me so I just sent him a text which goes as follows:

" My name is Khomeini Bukhari we just spoke, you said you want to look into the matter as this is the first you have heard of it, I shall be awaiting your response. Regards,".

To be honest I explained the case to him, I do not believe he does not know who I am, I also explained all the people who promised to help and nothing was done about it, then i ex-plained how this whole situation has effected my life, he did not seem sympathetic at all.

On the 18th of February at 18.28 UK time I called your Minister of Information and Commu-nication,  Labaran Maku, to ask for assistance in my matter, after the conversation I started feeling so sad. I introduced myself to him and he told me he has never heard of me. How can it be that after I have been heavily involved in the media he has never heard of me and infact no one has heard of me. I told him my story and he was asking me if I have lodged a com-plaint and I told him I have and listed all the people I have complained to, I even told him about the people who promised to help me and till date nothing has been done about it. He then went on to telling me that crime happens everywhere in world, I then asked he if he was justifying the matter, and he said not at all. I then emphasized to him that this crime was not done by criminals, it was done by police officers. He then said to me like everyone else has said, that he will investigate the matter. I then said I have heard this before and nothing has been done about it. I then started explaining to him how this incident has effected my life.  He told me he expects me to be in Nigeria if I want the situation solved and I said how can I be there as I have been heavily exposed in the media and I have been warned by the Foreign Commonwealth Office that I will not be safe in Nigeria until I am assured full security and invited officially. I even told him that he knows I am not safe in Nigeria, he refused to hear that and said lots of British are here, to me he was pretending to not know how dangerous it can be for me to just enter Nigeria without the protection the Government.  He then went onto saying all I want to do is destroy Nigeria’s reputation and be famous, I then went onto explaining it is my right to get justice in this matter and I never want to destroy the reputation of Nigeria as I love Nigeria, I even want to marry a Nigerian and this whole incident has even effected my relationship and is delaying my marriage. He then asked me my name again, and I replied Khomeini Bukhari and then he said that sounds like a Russian name, that comment upset me further as I dont see how that comment was relevant however I did tell him that I’m not Russian and that I’m British. At the end of the conversation he then requested that I send him a text with my name in it which I did.

The Minister was just downplaying the whole incident and showed lack of interest and sym-pathy. It is a big shame how a Federal Minister can behave this way. After the conversation I sent him a text with my name in it as follows:

"Dear Minister Labran Maku I said I have done my best to get justice and nothing has been done about it. From the little you have said it seems you dont care either. Regards, Mr Kho-meini Bukhari".


The Chairman of House Committee on Police Affairs, Honourable Usman Bellow Kumo has also invited me to Nigeria to come and identify the police officers and help the Nigerian Po-lice Force investigate matters, upon inviting me I told him that Mr Hafiz Ringim did the same however I do not feel safe coming and if he wants me to come I have conditions that need to be met, I briefed him on it and he promised he will do that. After our conversation I texed him, after the text message was he started avoiding me too.

In THE TIMES SERIES IN LONDON on the edition which was published on the 16th of February, 2012, it said the Honourable promised to help me, to be honest he has not answered my calls for 3 weeks. I have texted him on a couple of occasions and he has not even re-sponded. The first text which I have some how misplaced was basically reminding him of his promise which was sent after he did not pick my call and the second text which was sent at 20.06 on the 19th of February, 2012,  as again he did not pick my call and it went as follows:

"Dear Hounarable Usman Bellow Kumo, hope you are well and good. Thankyou for not picking my call once again. Two weeks back you promised to help me in my case, and to ar-range for me to come to Nigeria officially so we can have a quick closure. On the 16th of February you appeared in the TIMES SERIES IN LONDON and it said you promised to help in getting the Nigerian Government to pay for my expenses, solve my care and get me compensation. Where are you now, you dont even answer my calls. You gave me hope in getting justice and now it seems it was just another empty promise from yet another Nige-rian government official. Regards, Mr Bukhari.

One last point I would like to make is I do not feel anyone in Nigeria I taking my case seriously as nothing has been done about it, I do not see and sufficient progress in my matter. An hour after I spoke to Dr Reuben Abati I recieved a call from Nigeria, the man was telling me he has some vital information on the Police officers who attacked me. I then called him the next day and he told me he is ACP in the Nigerian Police Force but not to sure what state he said, whether it be FCT or another state. The day he called me he told me he knows the Police officers directly and then the following day he told me it was someone else who knows them. He requested I send him my email address that he will help me fight my case and he also believes in justice and that he will keep me updated via email. After our conversation I then texted him my email address. On the 20th of February, 2012. The details are as follows:

From: daramol bunkunmi <dambunk02@yahoo.com>
To: xxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.Bleep
Sent: Monday, 20 February 2012, 20:49
Subject: Information


Hello Mr Bukhari! I just wanna let you know how far we have gone about your issues. We have sent those names to all divisions of Nigeria police force. And they have started working vigorously on those names. By the time we get to the bottom of the matter,the Nigeria police force and the government shall seat and decide on what to do. But regarding the guy that is feeding us with some vital information on how we can get those criminals has stopped giving us. After collecting #50,000.00 naira from me,is now demanding for another money before he could say anything again. I am getting tired about the whole issues. I suggest if you can assist us with some money to give to this guy,i think he will tell us everything we need to know that will assist us in various part of our investigation. I am not forcing you,but the guy is demand-ing for #200,000.00 naira.i want you to raise something and i will voluntarily complete the rest of the money. And pls,make the
payment very quick pls.i am not forcing you like i said,but i want us to sacrifice what ever it will cost us to get the necessary information that will assist us.If you are ready this is the means of paying the money-BANK NAME-ACCESS BANK.ACCOUNT NUMBER-0010467835.ACCOUNT NAME-DARAMOLA BUKUNMI OMOTOLA.Just try and send something.Or you send it through WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER.PLS DONT JOKE WITH THIS.EXPECTING YOU REPLY.THANKS.typed and sent by the Secretary to the A.C.P.
That very day I texted the information to Mr Lateef, the PA to the IG and he assured me he will deal with this. Till now again I have received no response.

I do not feel the Nigerian Police Force and Government are doing enough about my case, how can it be that first I give the names and full information about the two police officers who harassed me and nothing happened and now I am giving full details on this new man and nothing has happened. In the first instance they are telling me they can’t find them and are still investigating and now they haven’t got back to me about this man. I know that when one opens an account in Nigeria you need to show proof and also bills and in this case they have his name and account number, this should be easy and yet no response. To me something is not just right.

RIGHT NOW I FEEL LET DOWN AND DECIEVED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF NI-GERIA, NOT ONE OF THEM HAS KEPT THEIR PROMISE. I FIND IT HARD TO BE-LIEVE THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHO THESE MEN ARE, I BELIEVE THEY THINK BY HIDING THESE MEN THEY ARE PROTECTING THE REPUTATION OF NIGERIA, THEY ARE ONLY SHOWING ME THEY SUPPORT SUCH BEHAVIOUR AND THAT IT IS COMPLETELY ACCEPTABLE.

I want you to know that this case is really getting to me and has actually taken up a lot of my time and it may seem to a lot of people out there that I may be jobless but the real fact is that I'm a very busy man however, I have this passion for getting justice as it will have positive effect on the masses of Nigeria aswell. You may know or not know but I even have a page on facebook called 'Justice 4 Khomeini Bukhari' and also a video clip on youtube letting people know our my last interview with SAHARA REPORTERS. Also, this case has effected my relationship as till date I am not married and all the delay is due to the security risk of me going back to Nigeria. This case has effected me harshly due to the following; firstly, due to my goods being stolen by two police officers, secondly, the trauma I went through afterwards, thirdly, for the fact they neglected me for a long period, fourthly, for the time and effort and sacrifices I made in getting justice, I actually had to devote so much time with the media and promoting this case whereby I had to neglect my office duties and lastly, for the delay of my marriage. At times my fiance does not actually know when I'll come back or if i'll not come back for the next few years. All these things put together as you can see has been very stressful, painful and scary.

Does the Nigerian Police really care that I got robbed of my possessions. I feel they know who the police on duty were. How can it be after I have given the names they still have not found them (The two police officers that robbed me, their names are Samual Ekpah and Daniel Marcus). If my descriptions were vague I could understand but I gave them full details.

I AM DOING THIS TO GET JUSTICE. I WILL NOT STOP TILL I GET JUSTICE. I PLEA WITH THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT TO PLEASE SUPPORT MY PLEA. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE NIGERIA BUT AM VERY SAD THAT NO ONE IN THE GOVERNMENT SEEMS TO CARE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. PEOPLE IN THE GOVERNMENT ARE MEANT TO SERVE AND PROTECT US, NOT NEGLECT US.

DEAR MR PRESIDENT YOU ARE THE NUMBER ONE CITIZEN OF THE COUNTRY AND I KNOW YOU HAVE THE MOST POWERS AND CAN DO ANYTHING AND ME WRITING TO YOU I KNOW ALL IS POSSIBLE.

I have given the Minister of Information and Communication my number, for any further queries please do not hesitate to contact me.

I thank you for your time and attention.



With Regards,



Khomeini Bukhari

Bukhari, you are hoping from one thread to another! Go back to this thread and answer the questions posed.
https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-876263.0.html
And yes, the president does not care indeed! It is 5 working days between petition day and today! Labaran Maku probably has not seen the president since then. You are insulting your intelligence Mr. Go back to the thread above and answer the questions posed. Be HONEST WITH YOURSELF!

Bukhari, you are hoping from one thread to another! Go back to this thread and answer the questions posed.
https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-876263.0.html
and you think he has your time? you really need to go back to that thread and see the nonsense you have said over there.

you are either very malicious or jobless.why are you stalking the man from thread to thread.he isnt entitled to answer you on every point since your joblessness isn't an official investigation.


And yes, the president does not care indeed! It is 5 working days between petition day and today! Labaran Maku probably has not seen the president since then. You are insulting your intelligence Mr. Go back to the thread above and answer the questions posed. Be HONEST WITH YOURSELF!

when have you become the spokeperson for the president?

you claiming that the minister has probably not seen the president is malicious and wicked.

every wednesday there is a federal executive council meeting where the president chair the ministers in meeting.so how then can you make such a worthless claim?

you need to listen to your conscience.just because you are not convinced doesnt mean you should deliberately try to derail this man's case and his quest for justice.
