The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed a motion by the chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State, Ojukaye Flag-Amachree, asking to be allowed to travel to Dubai for medical check-up.

Flag-Amachree is standing trial on allegation of murder of a man during the 2015 election in Asari-Toru Local Government Area of the state.

Giving his ruling, Justice Inyang Okoro held that the application lacked merit, adding that the applicant was being prosecuted for a murder case.

Okoro noted that the “medical update letter,” dated December 15, 2016, had no connection with the type 2 diabetes melitus which Flag-Amachree claimed he had.

Also, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, who presided over the panel, expressed worry why Flag-Amachree’s trial had not commenced fully after 25 adjournments.

The CJN said from the records of the court, Flag-Amachree had not appeared in court all the while.


The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that Flag-Amachree’s five charges bordering on the alleged murder of Iminabo Dokubo and attempted murder of Ipalibo Jackson is pending at the High Court in Port Harcourt.

The applicant had approached the court with a motion on notice pursuant to sections 33, 36(5) and (6), and Section 41 of the 1999 Constitution, as amended.

Flag-Amachree had sought an order granting him leave to travel to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to enable him meet up with the medical appointment scheduled with Dr. George Davis.

He had also prayed for the release of his passport with issuance No. A04003142, deposited with the registrar of the Court of Appeal as part of the conditions of the bail granted.

Flag-Amachree stated that following his detention and subsequent release by the appellate court, his health had deteriorated, leading to his collapse and resuscitation on various occasions both in and out of prison.

The applicant averred that the Saudi German Hospital had agreed to treat him and therefore scheduled an appointment with him for February 16, 2016 at Dubai, UAE.

Flag-Amachree said he could not meet the appointment, as his passport had been with the Court of Appeal, Port Harcourt.

He stated that a similar application had earlier been filed at the Court of Appeal on January 24, 2017 but was struck out on February 28 of the same year.

Over powering an already technically I defeated Boko haram it is well.

NwaAmaikpe:




Before I call Wike a mumu.
What is the importance of Prince Charles's visit? It's not as if his visit increased the income per capita of Abuja.
Rather revenue was depleted in hosting him.

Why does Wike keep making a fool of himself and crying foul at every opportunity he gets.

I think he is just sad he didn't get an opportunity to loot Rivers States treasury under the guise of hosting Prince Charles.

You have never hidden you hate for Wike, but unfortunately for you Wike doesn't know if an insignificant entity like you exist.

Even some of us that are so unfortunate to know you on this platform think you would have been better off trapped in a condom.

Hmm! Problems plenty for this country oooh!... at least this is better than sleeping with an under aged or worse still rape.

Case of too little too late, all he needed do was to insist on taking the penalty himself...and in return pass the ball gently to the goal keeper from the spot kick.

That would have set a new standard in fairplay and instantly catapulted him to a hero in the hearts and mind of the average sports lover.

Now I don't even know who to blame....the bleeping referee or the opportunistic short devil.

Op if she meets your expectations as a life partner and you feel you're financially ok....go ahead and marry her ooh....

That cliché of I'm not ready to get married now is outdated and lost relevance, nothing is as wonderful as growing with your kids.

Besides no law says you can't routinely try out other soups if that is your worry.

It is well with imolites

They don't need to overthrow him....they should just come and carry him away.

Lagos what a disaster of a city... environment so overpopulated and unkempt...the inhabitants so unruly, disorganized and insane.

If this is true, then I give up on this government and APC.....is this the kind of change that was promised.

How on earth is it possible for an arm of government to stop another from performing it's constitutional responsibility.

This is gross abuse of power and the judge that gave that ruling ought to be severely sanctioned.

This man can't help his nepotistic tendencies

Ok ooh...tell them!

2 face the infinitesimal bleeper.

I hope for Ann's sake she knows the implications of this her action...2 face's third leg is restless ooh!...

bedspread:
Edo state will not Remain the Same in the next few years..

The Governor they have presently is a Digital Governor.....
I see the State going tru full Transformation ...

GOD ALMIGHTY has finally picked Edo State Call!

Benwems:
White elephant project. Isihor is in a mess when it rains. No drainage, instead of the him to use the money to find a solution at megon. He is busy doing nothing. Infact the whole of Benin is in a mess when it rains. Useless governor.

Which one do we believe now...!

Will they use it....watch as mad people takeover that bridge, Edo people don't need footbridges to cross the road or indeed any obstacle....they have natural flight capabilities.

All this mushroom political parties self what is their voting strength...they shouldn't confuse me abeg lemme focus on the ones that count ..

At the end of the day they compensated with a contract or an appointment and yet they call themselves political parties.

Political jobbers

ImperialYoruba:
Ode ni e!

They met in Dubai for almost week or longer. Think of doing that in Nigeria and pumping money given to foreigners in Dubai into our local economy instead, so some local people can earn income, however little, for that one or two weeks....but i know its not going to be little money when tips are added in.

This is how you help jobs and economy in real life....not spitting on radio and tv about creating jobs. Where has Atiku created jobs now, in Nigeria or in Dubai?

Atikulator, Your mumu don do!

Chei you're right ooh!...chances are he was following Buhari's footsteps...going to London for medical tourism when he could have done so in the national hospital.

Just that I don't know how to explain the fact that Atiku is spending his own money why Buhari's own money came from......

tstx:
Ayam confused oo. Is she not a yoruba woman??

I wonder, thankgod it's an Afonja calling out another afonjizee...

Your reasons doesn't matter it can't be any different from the usual cliché...Poor funding

Immediately I saw the headline my mind raced straight to Ogun state.

I'm so disappointed right now....head-leaving-body issue is the exclusive preserve of Ogun..

Who doesn't know the police have hands in a good number of crimes perpetuated across the country.

Even the FSARS that arrested him ..if you check properly they are guilty of a crime not yet uncovered.

Lazy Nigerian youths have made securing visas to western countries a herculean task...now beautiful Hauwa Ojiefo had to pay for the crime of her fellow countrymen

spiritofthedead:
May his soul rest in perfect peace...
I think the man would be faced with the true reality of life... if there is really a place called heaven and if there is life after death
I wonder myself but really I no wan die

How can someone that died in such state all alone by himself in that harsh merciless and cold condition have a restful soul.

You guys should be ready ooh because this man is coming back for revenge.

Dr Cyril Oshiomhole, son of former Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole has indicated his interest in running for a political office.

Ngesochi:
Vote for Ihedioha/Irona

Vote for PDP

So that little stipend that you just received is the reason why we wouldn't have our peace again on this platform baa...?

Have been wondering why when ladies bare their boobs the only thing they're kin to cover is the nipple, what's so special about the nipple...?

Nwanyi oma

Hmm! Gov Ugwuanyi's media team are at hyper drive, the way they invade this platform every now and then to market their candidate is becoming something else.

Grandstanding and praise singing is a very huge problem in our polity, for goodness sakes the man is doing what he is elected to do and he's been paid handsomely for it.

Pheww!
