RichyBlacK:

No matter their alleged crimes, once caught, they should be accorded due legal process! That is what humans who have evolved from barbarism do! That is what animals in human skin do not understand.

If these summary executions happened in the UK, whereby cops killed 10 Nigerians in custody, it is people like you that will start screaming about human rights!

However, senior elements in the NPF are ordering summary executions of fellow Nigerians and you're supporting it?

Nigerians must condemn this otherwise it will set a new precedent, and the result will be summary executions will become normal practice!

Shame on the Nigerian government!






Cry me a river, weep me a sea, then go fishing in both.

There's a difference between idealism and realism. In an ideal situation, summary execution is not the best. Rule of law, innocent until proven guilty and all that lawerly nonsense. In the real world, however, where a government has a population to protect, decisions makers are entitled to be pragmatic. I will allude, again, to Obama, the custodian of change.  .::Rolls eyes::.  Obama promised transparency but when it was time to release pictures of American war vets molesting and maiming Iraqi prisoners, he sat on it. Why? Because it was the pragmatic thing to do. Even though it would have been ideal for him to release the pictures.

Again, when Somali pirates hijacked American sailors, what did Obama do? He ordered the pirates shot. In cold blood.

Sitting down in the comfort of your living room, on a Saturday morning, eating biscuit and moaning about due process is hardly a realistic option when a bunch of morons have decided to visit 13-century beliefs on a struggling developing nation. And in the final analysis, as we develop a jurisprudence for dealing the with terrorism and terrorists, we'll begin to act differently. But in the mean time, kill the motherfuckers.

No matter the crime which an individual may commit,i dont see anywhere in our watery constitution that gave the police the right to kill a suspect,since he is not guilty until proven by a court of law,indiscriminately.First,it was ken Nweigha a militant leader in Odi,bayelsa state & now Boko haram leader,they were both killed after they had been arrested but the POLICE killed them on the excuse that they tried to escpe, If the nigeria police were to be in charge of Guatanamo bay,all the Al-Qaeda terrorist in there would be dead by now, Instead of the police to carefully interrogate the guy in order to get useful information about the group,they went ahead.Boko Haram is a cause this guys believed in & the death of their leader i think cannot stop the violence, Osama bin laden committed crimes against the usa but have been hiding for a long time, Lets ask ourselves,has Bin laden disappearance reduced global terrorism, no.
In this failed country of ours,politicians try as much as possible to divert our attention by bringing unnecessary issues.Why is the governor of bauchi state isa yuguda,an in-law to president Yaradua telling us the meaning of Boko Haram only when he decamped to PDP.Are Boko haram boys not the ones that fought for him in the 2007 elections?, Federal Govt is suppossed to be solving the basic problems of Nigerians & not spending official time on a bunch political thugs turned militant group.

lonewolf:

If an individual decides to go outside the operation of the law in an attempt to foist jungle beliefs and philosophy on a multi-cultural populace, that individual has effectively declared himself an enemy of the state. Basic criminal matters or civil matters are catered for by statutes, codes and laws. But any slowpoke with a law dgree knows that as of yet, there's no developed jurisprudence for terrorism -- which is effectively what this Boko Haram idiot was engaged in.

When you stoop to terrorism, you take yourself outside the operation of known jurisprudence and things become shaky. Even the West is yet to develop an acceptable set of laws to deal with terrorists. And in most cases, they hold them indefinitely. (A court in America just declared that a certain terror suspect should be freed but Obama is still holding the suspect.)

The point here is: from the comfort of your room, with a tea and digestive buscuit in hand, you can sit and whine about rule of law. Blah, blah, blah. But real recognise real -- and in this case, while it's not ideal that terror suspect be summarily executed, it is the pragmatic thing to do. If I was your President, in fact, I would have made sure they killed him in battle and not arrest him at all.

Every properly schooled student of history knows that terrorism did not start when George W. Bush launched his "Global War on Terrorism". Terrorism is as old as man's presence on earth!

The claim that "there's no developed jurisprudence for terrorism" is laughable, to say the least. You're trying to make this "terrorism" thingy sound like some strange new concept invented by Osama bin Laden in the caves of Afghanistan, a concept so strange that 4,000 years of recorded jurisprudence is unable to comprehend it! Dat na yarn?

Going outside the law is, at worst, tantamount to committing a crime, period! Acts of terrorism are crimes, and dealing with crimes, is only one aspect of the robust ontology of jurisprudence that man has painstakingly crafted over millennia!

You mentioned Obama. Obama inherited the mess created by Bush, and getting out of that mess is proving more difficult than he anticipated. Nevertheless, the clumsy nature of the US war on terror should not be used as a yardstick for determining how "terrorists" are handled. There are laws in every legal system, that deal with various crimes. These laws should simply be applied. The UK, Israel, Spain, India, Turkey, etc. have all used their legal systems to deal with cases involving acts of terrorism.

What again were the alleged offenses of members of the Boko Haram sect?
1. Murder
2. Vandalism
3. Arson
4. Incitement
5. Treason
Any more you want to add?

* Are these the items you want us to believe cannot be handled by our legal system?
* You want us to believe that no legal system on God's green earth can handle these items?
Deliberately not using the word "crime".

The Nigerian government, the Nigerian Police and the Nigerian Army have failed to uphold our laws by executing innocent civilians in their custody. Yes, innocent, because under our legal system, one is deemed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law! Denying this fact leaves two options:

1. Ignorance of the law and the judicial system established to abide by the laws OR
2. Self-delusion to justify illegal actions borne out of an inability to empathize with the victims of such illegality, caused by preexisting prejudicial feelings towards the victims.

In as much as I believe in the rule of law, I don't believe in trying a criminal / terrorist caught red-handed, in any court of law.

A criminal/terrorist caught after gunbattle with law enforcement agents, what then are you still trying him for in court. For such I believe in summary execution period.

Boko Haram and the evil of ignorance
By Reuben Abati

THE current sectarian crisis in parts of Northern Nigeria highlights many of the fault lines in Nigerian politics; it further re-enacts a familiar Nigerian story about religious violence, poverty, ignorance and unemployment. Poverty and unemployment have combined to create a large army of angry youths in virtually every part of the country which can be employed for any kind of sinister task. For a small fee or even without paying a fee, you can recruit idle young men and women, give them arms and ammunition and ask them to do your bidding.

For as long as Nigeria remains underdeveloped and the leadership elite remains selfish, this pattern is bound to subsist. We must be worried about the increasing population of young men and women who are prepared to defy the state and sabotage it. The main promoters of the current crisis in the North are secondary school students, clerics, university drop outs and a former university lecturer.

Young people inflicting pain on the country and doing so brazenly are saying something much deeper about the Nigerian state: the impunity with which people readily take the laws into their hands, the proliferation of small arms, the inefficiency of the security agencies, and the near-absolute disregard for human lives. The Boko Haram fundamentalists insist that there must be the rule of the Sharia in every state of Nigeria and that Western education must be abolished because it is evil.

One of their leaders says he is opposed to the use of the Constitution to govern Nigeria. We seem to be paying the price for the failure of the Federal Government to deal decisively with the Sharia mischief under the Obasanjo administration. President Obasanjo had boasted then that the politics of Sharia would soon disappear. It hasn't. The fanatics argue that Western education should be forbidden because it is sinful, and that Western values are unacceptable. There is probably no point trying to respond to this obviously ignorant assertion. For as Moses Anegbode, the Assistant Inspector-General of police in charge of Zone 12, Bauchi pointed out, "They forbid anything western, yet their leader has an array of western materials in their position and their usage. Even the phone, SUVs, I wonder if they were made by him, "

Recurrent cases of violence in parts of Northern Nigeria and elsewhere in the country can be traced to the failure of governance. The Federal Government in the last few days has put up a rear-guard action to contain the insurgency which has spread across five states but the handling of the crisis is shoddy. The soldiers and the policemen involved in what is now known as Operation Flush II have been just as guilty as the insurgents. They have been shooting on sight rather indiscriminately, and since the fanatics do not wear a uniform there is no doubt that a lot of innocent persons have been caught in the crossfire. Human rights issues have been raised, most legitimately.

There has also been an excessive show of power. President Yar'Adua, before traveling out to Brazil had justified the state's response when he said that the security agencies are the ones who initiated the attack by launching "a pre-emptive" strike against the extremists after "tracking them for years". There is certainly nothing pre-emptive in their action. Where was the state when the insurgents set up a school where they trained and brainwashed young person to turn them against the state?

Members of the Boko Haram travelled across the Northern states to Maiduguri where they had planned to launch their holy war. Why didn't the security agencies pick this up, and nip it in the bud? The insurgents launched their attack in Maiduguri last Sunday, blocking the highway, and burning down houses, mosques and churches. They attacked the police headquarters, the police armoury, the Maiduguri prison, and burnt down police patrol vehicles. Within 24 hours, over 157 lives had been lost. It took a while before the Nigerian government responded. The police were caught unawares. The fanatics were so well organized they also struck in other cities: Kano and Bauchi; they represent a dangerous tendency that requires greater alertness on the part of the state. There was a failure of intelligence at play. And yet President Yar'Adua boasts as follows: "I want to assure that this administration will not tolerate any arms insurrection anywhere and in any part of the country. Anywhere any group of people begin to launch an insurrection and destruction against their fellow Nigerians they will be dealt with squarely and promptly."

This statement is probably directed, for effect, at the Niger Delta militants. It is possible to imagine that a similar "pre-emptive strike" may be on the cards in the Niger Delta after the expiration of the amnesty period. This may not be part of the President's calculation but were he to launch a fresh offensive in the Niger Delta next month, he could deflect charges of ethnic cleansing by claiming that he had ordered a similar operation in Northern Nigeria. A government that focuses on issues of governance and provides the leadership that the people need may not feel compelled to resort to such desperate tactics. In the North, Mohammed Yusuf and his band of fanatics, like El Zaky Zaky before them, have succeeded in further exposing the weakness of the Nigerian state and its institutions. For almost a week, the military and the police have been searching for the leader of the insurgency like a pin in a haystack. Pre-emptive strike indeed.

A big blow has been dealt again to the idea of national unity and cohesion. With incessant killings in Northern Nigeria, many Southerners in that part of the country have chosen to relocate elsewhere. Parents are reluctant to allow their children to participate in the NYSC scheme in the North. The gradual transformation of parts of the North into natural centres of violence has obvious implications for investment and development in that region. The religious elite in the North must take responsibility for the conversion of a religion of peace into a platform for less ennobling pursuits. The educated class in the north is also culpable. Apart from a few statements from the Northern Governors Forum, the JNI, the Sokoto Council of Ulamah and Imams, and the Sultan, they have all been very cautious in their responses. They are afraid, obviously. But more voices should be raised in condemnation of this primitive assault on the Nigerian public space.

Where is President Yar'Adua in all of this? He is, at the time of this writing, in Brazil sipping tea and exchanging diplomatic hugs. Meanwhile, Nigeria burns. The state visit to Brazil is so important to him he could not even ask that it should be postponed to enable him attend to the emergency at home. The Brazilians would have understood. But our president is in Brazil looking for partners. I hope he would have convincing explanations for those would-be partners about the slaughter of innocent women and children in Maiduguri, Yobe, Kano and Taraba. And hopefully, he will not feel embarrassed when his hosts draw his attention to sordid footages of the mayhem. What image of Nigeria would he sell to his hosts? The right place for President Yar'Adua to be, as a wave of violence spreads across Northern Nigeria, and as many as 500 lives have reportedly been lost, is home, not abroad. Leadership is about responsibility and care. Providing a justification for his trip, President Yar'Adua had insisted that he was scheduled to travel to Brazil last year, but the trip was aborted. Now, he cannot afford not to honour a second invitation!

In addition to the crisis in the Northern states, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU has been on strike for a month. There is disquiet in the Niger Delta with the militants, the Governors and ordinary people protesting the proposed siting of a Petroleum University in Kaduna State. Before jetting off to Brazil, President Yar'Adua said the situation at home is "completely under control". I don't think so. Everything seems to be out of control around here.

When the President returns, there are specific issues that have gone out of control that he will need to address: the architects of the violence must be hunted down and made to face the full wrath of the law, the displaced persons in all the states must be assisted, and every effort should be made to begin a study of the aims and methods of religious fundamentalists and common criminals who seem to be thriving so much in part because the Nigerian state has failed to develop a memory bank for responding to their impunity

Re: Boko Haram Suspected Financier Executed - Which Way Nigeria by lonewolf: 1:24pm On Aug 01, 2009
I am not going to get into a debate about the history of terrorism. It is pointless, and does nothing to move this debate further. The empirical or academic analysis of terrorism as a notion is not my concern – I’ll leave that to you.

But any observer, who has been looking at events wide-eyed, through the glasses of practicality, will understand that the legal framework does not exist as of yet to deal with modern acts of terrorism; more so in the face of political reality. Even the British Prime Minister was trying to shove a new bill through Parliament that will increase the government’s ability to hold on to detainees for a longer period of time. Why? Because the laws in the statute books in legal systems as sophisticated as England’s is proving incapable of dealing with terror suspects. Do you know the number of programmes Western governments run off the books to protect their citizens? Do you know the amount of espionage work that goes into making it look like habeas corpus works?

I will be the first to contend that Nigeria’s legal system is one of the least sophisticated, and that more needs to be done. What I will not do, though, is sit in my living room on a Saturday morning, with a digestive and tea in hand, and whine about how the government killed a terrorist who was trying to foist his stupid beliefs of savagery on a multicultural population.

You refer to these morons as innocent? After burning down half the state? I am not ignorant of the law. In fact, I know the law. I just know when to take off the lawyer’s cloak for the garment of reality.

2)crimes against humanity
 
I am not aware that the present constitution or extant statutes has provisions for dealing with such crimes. Hence the suggestion for these enemy combatants to face a swift drumhead court-martial and execution by firing squad thereafter.

I am all for following the law and all that sweet talk. It's just that the actual task of governing is difficult enough. Of course, this does not mean that one just turns a blind eye to certain things, it's just knowing that there's a fine line. But this paddy no even wan recognise anything at all. I mean, I know that we need to get to a point in which terrorists need to be put through the legal system. If I was an AG, and I knew they had caught the guy, I'll probably put him through the system and get him executed with charges in the books at the moment. But if I was President, I would have ordered that I want him dead -- which means they would have killed him in a gun battle. Leaders have to make pragmatic calls. We need to recognise that.

Again, this is totally independent of the fact that we need continue to work hard at developing our legal system. I readily concede that point.

I am not exactly sure the NPF are anymore angry with Boko Haram like we are

I just smell a programme of cover up being sponsored by some people in high places. These guys will rather die as martyrs than submit themselves to a legal system they don't agree with in the first place. They may also consider the court humiliation and expose' too detrimental to the future of their movement hence they will rather bribe police to kill those involved in detention before they testify.

I think a proper investigation needs to be launched in which all dimensions are considered. This is not just an action born out of anger, quest for vengeance or some kind of extra judicial means of justice.

I am wondering if this is a cover up.

I bow say the Nigerians wey dey say make country betta, wey dey cry for justice, na dem dey still celebrate injustice, backwardness and lawlessness.

Do you not know that this man could have been taken to court 24 hours or less after being arrested and a judge will sentence him to death and Yuguda sign his execution then he'll be executed legally the very same day?

We are not trying to appeal for long life for these terrorists, what we are saying is that due process should be followed.

Those that say the USA does not have laws to deal with terrorism do not know who George Bush is or have not read the P. A. T. R. I. O. T act. Which is all the various laws against terrorism pulled together in one single context.

Have you ever heard of people that are executed in police stations because they've stayed there too long, there's no more space and no one has offered to come bail them. They get executed even though their original crime was shooting pool or snooker?

The police have always denied this, but now they have done it in all boldness and Nigerians are in support very soon it will become common practice for suspects and detainees to be executed publicly without trial. I hope that's the kind of country you all pray for.

As for those that don't know what cold blood is, Nairaland is the wrong place for me to teach that. Go register for adult education in your locality.

Even in World War II, it was never permitted to execute captives. If all those captured during the Biafran were killed, how wolf you all feel?

You don't know what due process is that's why you disregard it. Just like the air we breathe, without due process, humanity would be extinct. Have you ever cooked Egusi soup and served it before shelling the melon seeds? Have you ever withdrawn money before opening the bank account? Do you apply soap to your body and go to work without washing up? If you can maintain due process in your daily lives, why shun it in the larger society?

Actually it is permitted ,under the Geneva convention for the military, in times of war, to summarily execute captured enemy  combatants who violate the normal rules of war such as:-

1)not wearing distintive uniforms or insignia

2)hiding their weapons under civilian clothing

3)wearing the uniform of the enemy

4)spying

Re: Boko Haram Suspected Financier Executed - Which Way Nigeria by Nobody: 2:41pm On Aug 01, 2009
most people are supporting the cold blooded murder of the accused persons because of long simmering resentment against pogroms in the north, and because they cannot imagine themselves in that sort of position

i hope the supporters realise that this plays out virtually everyday in some police station somewhere in naigeria - a person often innnocent , or guilty of some ridiculous crime like 'challenging the authority' of a man with a gun, is summarily killed and labelled an armed robber

even though ken saro wiwa was tried in a kangaroo court, people still railed against his execution. i will try to save links from these posts so i can see if any of the posters so avidly supporting cold blooded murder will not start screaming human rights if some ND leaders are summarily executed in such a fashion in the distant future.

incidentally, the stupidity of our policemen is beyond any measurable chart - cops all over the world kill people they deem responsible for the death of their comrades in cold blood, but none will be so stupid as to brazenly do it on camera.

that guy accused of financing boko haram will wind up looking like a victim - thats exactly how he looks to me right now.

if you hadn't eaten that soup your girlfriend cooked, you would realise that yahoo boys don't withdraw money from an account before they open it and Lagosians don't rub soap on their body and go to work whether to beat traffic or your girlfriend.

I'm trying to thrash out issues that may soon knock at your front door and you're making incoherent comedy out of it.

Good ridance abeg! My question is,  when will this treatment be metted out to the currupt politicians in our country. Abi isn't it about time?

In the real world, however, where a government has a population to protect, decisions makers are entitled to be pragmatic
I'm in complete agreement with this. My only problem is the contradiction. Why is 'Rule of law' being applied to currupt governors and Yar's cronnies? Curruption is no less a threat to Nigeria than this militancy.
