Falana Should Tell Ooni Of Ife To Resign Over Forgery And N400 million Fraud before Telling Fayose to resign

Femi Falana is not fit to be a leader

As a so called human right activist, A fraudulent allegation worse than that of Saraki is hanging on a person that occupies the highest throne in yorubaland, for the offence of forgery, fraudulent conversion and obtaining the sum of N400million by false pretence” to the Chairman of the EFCC and a copy was also sent to the President Muhammadu Buhari A coward femi falana kept mute, and rather he was defending another forgery and perjury case of muhammadu Buhari.

The petition was submitted by Comrade Adeniyi Alimi Sulaiman – The activist has been invited by the EFCC to come and explain the petition There are indications that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) may investigate the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi over an alleged N400 million forgery involving his company.

Comrade Adeniyi Alimi Sulaiman, a human rights activist and executive chairman of Centre for Human Rights and Social Justice who petitioned the EFCC has been invited by the anti-graft agency to come and substantiate the allegation. Comrade Sulaiman in a statement revealed that he got a call from an operative of the agency asking him to come as investigation will soon start to authenticate the veracity of the allegation. Sulaiman said that the EFCC official informed the group to report at the Economic and Governance Crime department of the commission for an interaction on the issue.

A petition letter dated Monday 2nd November, 2015 titled: “Request for prosecution of Prince Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi and his cCompany named Metropole Inter project Limited for the offence of forgery, fraudulent conversion and obtaining the sum of N400million by false pretence” to the Chairman of the EFCC and a copy was also sent to the President Muhammadu Buhari.

But as we speak, links and online evidencies are beign removed one by one. EFCC may just issue clearance to the monarch because he is an annoited and bigger than beign investigated.

So many sick people suffering from dementia on this thread. Some fake propaganda website carried fake news of what the man did not say.

He has come to say he never said such or gave any such interview and you are saying he said it. Using as grounds for something else.

Are you guys well at all?

I challenge everyone of you, what's your proof that he said it. Was it a press conference, or on his facebook or twitter handle? Which newspaper? Why can't the journalist he gave the interview come out and burst his lie?
Useless set of IPODS and wailers

you are a fool suffering from perkinsons disease, read this;


Falana had during a paper entitled: ‘The Limits of Immunity Clause’, he delivered at the 6th birthday of the Edo State’s Secretary to Government, (SSG) Professor Julius Inhonvbere, said that the money Laundering Act and thhe Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Act as well as the international criminal court laws did not give absolute immunity to governor Fayose against criminal prosecution, adding that the EFCC was toeing a legitimate path by freezing the governor’s accounts.

Falana goofed on those areas.

The Senior Advocate Mike Ozhekhome who heads governor Fayose’s legal team against the EFCC at the Federal High Court, Ado-Ekiti, spoke to reporters yesterday in Ado-Ekiti, saying: ” Femi Falana made three points on the matter and I totally disagree with him.

“He said that you can institute a legal process against governors because they are also sued during election petitions. And I disagree with him on that because election petitions are too generic, they are generic because they are in a class of their own. They are hybrid, neither civil or criminal procedures. That is why it is the constitution itself that gives the right for a governor to be sued when they are challenging his mandate, it is not the lower laws like an Act of parliament like EFCC. EFCC is an act of parliament which is millions of miles lower than the provisions of the constitution. And any provision from the EFCC Act or money laundeiring Act which is inconsistent with the provision of the constitution is null and void by nature of section 1, sub-section 3 of the same 1999 constitution,” he said.

Arguing further, he said: “It is the same constitution in section 308 that says that when it comes to civil or criminal procedure, you can never sue the governor and such should not be entertained in any court of Law.

“Contrary to Falana’s argurment, that immunity is not absolute, it is totally absolute.

“[b]In the case of the IGP versus Gani Fawehinmi which he cited, the Supreme Court upheld that the governor can be investigated; it, however, said that you would have to wait till he vacates his office before you move any court process against him. That was the decision of that court.

“Falana also said that the Money Laundering Act can also apply against a sitting governor, that is wrong. The money laundering Act is an act of the parliament which is as low as the EFCC Act and the two of them must bow down to the Kabiyesi (Lord) of our laws which is the 1999 consitution (as amended in 2011). And that constitution in its section 308 says that whether under the money laundering Act or the EFCC Act, you cannot move against Fayose or any other governor, vice-president or President or deputy-governor.

“The third point by Falana that immunity is not total has been debunked because section 308 of the contitution overrides all the Acts of parliament such as the Money Laundering and the EFCC Act.

“He also said that governors of Nigeria are not immune from the procedures of the international criminal court; of course that is outside the jurisdiction of Nigeria. International criminal court operates worldwide and even in that court, all the people who are being tried are usually tried for war crimes or crimes against humanity only when they have vacated office not when they are still in office.

“And even at that, these international courts operate internationally and we are in Nigeria. The supreme law of Nigeria or the Kabiyesi (Lord) of all laws in Nigeria is the consitution and by virture of the section 1 sub section 3 of this constitution, which says this law shall be supreme and if any other law is inconsistent with the provisions of this consitution, that law shall be null and void.

“So, none of all the arguements Falana has canvassed therefore can show that immunity can be watered down.
[/b]
“I think what the EFCC is trying to do is to be clever by half by now allegedly obtaining a court order directly against Zenith bank plc; they forgot that some sections of the EFCC Act, for example section 28, 30 say that before you can freeze an account of any person, you must first of all arrest the person and after that, insitute a criminal proceedings against the person before you can then get an order of the court to freeze the person’s accounts. The simple question is, can you arrest Fayose now? Or insitutte any criminal proceedings against him? The answer is no.

“So, what the EFCC has done from every angle is illegal and unconsitutional. And they are doing all this after the illegal freeezing because they know they are in a mess.

“If they feel the law is inadequate, too bad! they have to first go to the National Assembly and ask them to remove section 308 which is the immunity clause or better still wait till October 16, 2018 when Fayose would vacate office as governor before they can come after him. Unless they want us to now believe that we are now living in an hobbesian state of nature where life is short, nasty and brutish,” Ozekhome argued.
