BREAKING: Biafra: Kano Group Asks Court To Compel NASS To Allow Igbos Break Away From Nigeria```

Jul 29, 2021

The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has fixed November 1, to hear an application seeking an order of court directing the National Assembly to create a framework for a referendum in South-eastern Nigeria, so that Igbos can vote on secession from the country.

Plaintiffs in the suit are Kano-based Nastura Ashir Shariff, Balarabe Rufa’i, Abdul-Aziz Sulaiman and Aminu Adam while the first to fourth respondents are the Attorney General of the Federation, Senate President, Speaker, House of Representatives and the National Assembly.

In their originating summons seen by our correspondent, the plaintiff, through their lawyer, S.G Idrees Esq, has asked the court to determine whether the constitution empowered NASS to call for a referendum.

They alleged that Igbos were seeking secession through violence against the state.

“WHETHER considering the violent agitation for self-determination by the people of the South-eastern States of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as deposed to in the affidavit in support of the Originating Summons and the combined effect of the provisions of Section 4 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), and Articles 1, 2, 4, 14 and 20(1) of the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act 2004, the 2th, 3rd and 4th Defendants are not under a legal obligation to provide a framework that will pave way for the self-determination of the South-eastern States so as to leave the geographical entity called Nigeria before any further step is taken to review the constitution?,” the plaintiffs asked.

Idrees therefore prayed the court to order NASS to allow the Igbos leave the country.

The plaintiffs seek the following reliefs:

“A declaration that by the combined effect of the provisions of Section 4 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria ( as amended) and Articles 1,2, and 20(1) of the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights ( Ratification and Enforcement) Act 2004, the 4th defendant is empowered to set in motion a framework for a referendum to allow the South-eastern states of Nigeria to decide on their bid for self-determination.

“A declaration that in view of the provisions of Articles 1,2,4, 14 and 20(1) of the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights ( Ratification and Enforcement) Act 2004 , the 2nd and 3rd defendants have the power to call for a joint session of both Houses of the 4th defendant to deliberate on the agitation for self-determination by the South-eastern states of Nigeria.

“An order directing the 2nd, 3rd and 4th defendants to provide a framework that will pave way for the self-determination of the South-eastern so as to leave the geographical entity called Nigeria before any further step is taken to further amend the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“Such further or other orders as this Hon. Court may deem fit to make in the circumstances of this case.”

Our correspondent gathered that Justice Inyang Ekwo will preside over the case.

The development is coming amid the federal government’s face-off with secessionist groups in the country.

The Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB), led by Nnamdi Kanu, who is now in detention, has recently spearheaded agitation for Biafra.

He is facing prosecution on charges of treasonable felony.

LadyRosa:
You never see where Aboki dey chop?
I'm surprised he bought tomatoes because normally na red oil them dey mix for spaghetti chop.
Them no dey too Chop goat/cow meat. The rich ones go for chicken.

Listen to onion thieves talking. What do you know about food? When did you know tomatoes?

SouthSouth1914:
This guy should answer to his investigative case and stop disturbing our internet space! He has investigated hundreds of people without proper facts sending them to their early graves!

Arewa should put monies together and get their visas to the USA to cry at the feet of FBI. Rubbish lots

When hundreds of criminal Nyamiris are in FBI custody.. Obi Cubana and other Kyari’s friends , how market?

ugochukwufrenzy:
ndlea should come to the north and see how drugs are being used anyhow here,,all these stereotyping of Southerners to make it seem as if we are the only ones using it no be am at all

All the illicit drugs in the North are brought in and sold by this Ebere and her brothers. NDLEA is working.
No body is saying that you are the only one using drugs. But over 90% of this evil illicit drugs business is conducted by your brothers and sisters to make money.
Ask the Chinese government, the Indian government, the South Africans, the Indonesians, the Malaysian Government, Thailand and all countries all over the world. Igbos are the top law breakers internationally in drug trafficking and cyber crimes.

A

TarOrfeeek:
The way these government agencies arrest Southern criminals, both civilians and civil servants.
It's quite different from the net of innocence they project on their Northern brethren.
Imagine that FBI had to come all they way from USA to prove Abba Kyari is a criminal.
Left for EFCC, ICPC and NPF Abba Kyari was our Jack Bauer (whatever that means) ruthlessly depopulating Imo state of young men and stealing wealth from suspected criminals.
Is there a separate Justice system for Northerners?
Why is there instant justice applied to Southerners?

Just listen to these genetic criminals, so you think all these people are innocent?
What about the hundreds of Igbos in Chinese and Indian Prisons ?
What about those of your people arrested by FBI?
Why are you the ones in Indonesian Prisons and on death row in Thailand and Malaysia?
Is it Northerners that are persecuted in South Africa?
You are always pretending that you want separate from Nigeria. Our prayer is that you separate and get your own country and the world will know how evil you are.
You will then stop hiding behind the Name of Nigeria.

DoctorStylish:
I came across some guys and we were discussing
I asked them don’t you know that these your zombie masters are corrupt they said no and that even if they are
It doesn’t mean as long as its one of theirs thats there .
This is not what we signed up for
I think North particularly should be recolonized

The north is very poor with very high percentage of illiterate population.
But we know those yearning for colonization and even for slavery - and they are not the northerners.
Those trecking across the Sahara in hundreds and thousands and crossing the Mediterranean Sea in criminal flimsy boats are always southerners. They are risking their lives to go and become slaves in Europe or Libya. Many capsize and drown in the sea before they can fulfill their desire to become slaves.

DoctorStylish:
This is one of the biggest consequence of illiteracy.
After being denied basic infrastructure and amenities you decide to be gullible to be fed with crumbs just like chicken . Illiteracy is soo dangerous that I think it’s the root of Nigeria’s problem as a whole .
These Zombie Masters would keep pushing on with this as long as the people stay gullible .
Modern day DemoCRAZY oh Slavery .
These guys have one of the myopic shallow hollow mindset
Their brains don’t receive anything ie they are illiterates . They don’t know and they don’t want to know .
Who do north like this ?

This kind of degrading attitude of throwing money to poor or struggling Nigerians by the rich is despicable and should be condemned by all. It is arrogant and demeaning as well as disrespect to the Nigerian currently. It is also illegal.
But as usual the hypocrisy of the southerners will make them shamelessly assign it to Northern illiteracy, when we know that “spraying “ money at events is a southern thing copied by some northern idiots like this Borno politician.

It only two weeks ago that we were treated to the most obscene and most insensitive display of wealth and currently spray in Naira and in foreign denominations by a young Igbo man at Oba in Anambra state. The man Obi Cubana whose source of stupendous wealth remains dubious was cheered on by his southern compatriots as he and his friends sprayed millions of Foreign and Nigerian currency to mark the burial of his ( Cubana’s mother), the way they feed their dogs.

The same people cheering this obscenity in Oba , are now linking this small scale performance at Borno state to Northern illiteracy. They are now in their insincerity and double standards claiming descency and civilility and ignoring their own immorality and corrupting influence on people like this foolish Borno Politician.
Should EFCC invite Cubana to explain his source of wealth now , there will be shouts of blue murder from the same regions.

We now have to wait for FBI to fish out our criminals. I am sure they will come for the young Oba billionaire even before they finish with Hushpuppi and friends. We are watching.

The Abba Kyari Story :

Nigeria destroying its Best and Elevating its Worst*

By : Douglas Ogbankwa Esq.

I have never met Abba Kyari ,but by the benefit of hindsight , he is not an ordinary person .I say this with profound equanimity and deep insight into Policing in Nigeria.If you want to know a character ,you will focus on what he says ,what he does ,what other people say about him and his appearance.

No man is indeed perfect .The United States' Federal Bureau of Investigations will reckon that the fugitive in the Movie *Catch Me If you Can* (which is a re-enactment of a true life story bin America ) is now their Agent bursting crimes for the FBI all around the World.They Will not tell you this .

Make no mistake about this -Abba Kyari is Hero in the true sense of it ,just like any hero he may have his hubris ,but one thing you can not take away from him as I have been reliable informed from an unimpeachable source and also from my observation of issues , is his tenacity of purpose ,results, goal getting charm and amiable mien that has bestowed him with an extensive national intelligence network that is akin to a lybarinthe.

My Father -Richard Akudike Ogbankwa of blessed memory was a Police Officer.As a matter of fact ,he was among the best marks men in the Police in his time as he was even an orderly to Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa .He told me an awful lot about the Police .From what I know ,Abba Kyari is actually a magician by his results .

The United States should bury their so called alleged indictment of Abba Kyari .When the United States trained, equipped and funded Osama Bin Laden to fight USSR ,he was labeled a Freedom Fighter ,when he fell out with them ,he was labeled a terrorist.A paradox of conviction.

Abba Kyari is one of our best and he has risked his life and times to burst the most heinous crimes in Nigerian History.He deserves accolades and not reprimand.

My father says :

*It is from the "mess" ,you know the taste of shit*

We all know what all these traboudor is all about .I say no more .

I take a stand on issues based on conviction ,not caring whose ox is gored.While researching on this article ,I came across an amazing trail of achievements of crime bursting pedigree of Abba Kyari , which in my estimation is unparalleled and worth sharing as follows :

"Awards Of DCP Abba Kyari , Africa's Best Detective.... .

Economy is hard so many young ladies are into prostitution now!
They'll be collecting big gbola outside while the mom is up late night worried about their whereabouts!
God help us in this country �
Fulani destroying the morals of Liberal Progressive Republic of Southern Nigeria.

Na you do the crime, oya do the time.
How will you Break bottle for your teenage daughters
Give them what you can afford while teaching em contentment!

I thought prostitution is normal in southern Nigerian families. Their daughters fill the brothels in Kano, Kaduna, Jos , Zaria and of course all over the south and Italy . So what’s the fuss? Contentment is unknown to the uncultured and to criminals.

MufasaLion:
He went to steal these craps?
Thief with no level

He should go to Onitsha for training

bosman50:
I am curious to know how many Fulani kidnappers have been sentenced that much.
Asking for a friend

Are you supporting the kidnapping and selling of children by your IPOB kinsmen?

When your name is Igbo

This guy is giving them animal shit as charms. IPOBs are imbeciles.

Commentor:
You do know about sarcasm right?

This is Nairaland. Common sense is not important here

I hope the Asagba has cursed IPOBs as well for the same evil.

Commentor:
Our Oyel money.

Rubbish.This was Local Government taxes. Before the Igbos came and brought tramadol.

Trust our southern brothers, they see every God’s creation as bushmeat, they can never preserve a life.

I pity this black beauty elephant, because they will hunt it down and eat it.

jlinkd78:
Imagine a govt that was caught pants down in d extraordinary rendition of Nnamdi Kanu but yet to designate Fulani herdsmen a terrorist organization is saying that alleged human rights violation is yet to be proven. Today sensing danger u have freed d Shites leader thinking it could polish your international image. U shut down Twitter and kept frustrating Free Speech and u think d world isn't taking note. What's the essence of selling weapons to u when it will end up with the terrorists

Nnamdi Kanu is a dangerous terrorist brainwashing those that have no capacity to think for themselves. He has caused the destruction of so many police stations, INEC offices , the killing of soldiers and policemen and theft of their weapons. He remained abroad instigating mayhem in Nigeria after jumping bail.
Boko Haram, Fulani Bandits and ESN are legitimate targets for these Tucano Air Force planes. No shaking. We want a secure and safe Nigeria.

ifytrik:
Am 100 percent in suport of th US on this one, selling fire arms to the Nigeria military under this present administration is like dashing them out to bokoharam and iswap terorists for free, at the end it will all end up in sambisa forest.

Are you that ignorant?

jonahmatt:
This country is cursed

Not surprising , when we have so many negative people. You sound negative..

Ruggedniggaone:
Is ipob now a terrorist group that must be mentioned together in the same sentence with bokoharam and bandits?but fulani heardmen are freedom fighters and business men.all I know is that 200 tucano fighter jet can not save Northern Nigeria, Northern Nigeria is doom to collapse.its just a matter of time Northern Nigeria is gone

The bandits you described as Fulani Herdsmen are being bombed already in Zamfara, Kaduna , Niger and Katsina State.
With the arrival of the tucanos we expect ESN and killer IPOB cells to get their own share of the bombing.

Fahdiga:
The mods should ban the OP immediately. Where did the US mentioned IPOB in the write up but the mischievous OP decided to insert IPOB just to portray it as a terrorist group

But IPOBs are terrorists na. You don’t know this fact?

End of time goat

blackmaine:
Like I always said , Nigeria is a zoo and will always be , always mixing sentiments with facts, you want MNK dead go to the court and make it happen, ranting like Monkeys doesn't make you civilized, backward bunch of morons

The Monkey NK is back where he belongs - His personal self contained cage in the Zoo.

We hope he doesn’t escape again.

hammerDK:
GO AND ASK YOUR FATHER?

Nyamiri and insults are like 5 and 6. So what brought father’s into this ?

Was the question too difficult for your saw dust brain?

Temmylee01:
I think this man is making sense.

Are you serious?
No Fulani individuals or groups sued Kanu for the insults noted by this dude Adeyanju.
Kanu is facing trial against the Nigerian Nation. The policemen and soldiers he commanded his brainless followers to kill and police stations burnt down and the prisons break have nothing to do with Murtala Nyako who is also answering a case in court against Nigeria.
To insult others is an important part of Igbo culture, we are not taking Kanu to court for that.

When will these cowardly criminals learn?

ifiokjohn:
You forget igboland has the highest gas reserve in the country? You forget I'm has gas and just collected 23 oil Wells from Rivers and in a few months will collect another 48 from Rivers...to become the 4th highest oil producing state then ( just like Akwa ibom did to Cross river) so I wonder what then you will say

Gas indeed. You are full of gas.

So this is news? An igboman supposed muslim convert now decided that he is going back to Christianity. Is that news?

Why didn’t you tell us when the confused man converted to Islam?

Wake me up and tell me when a real muslim LEADER from Sokoto or Kano converts to Christianity.

The IPOB piglets need to be reminded by their equally greedy elders, that the quest for Biafra is for the oil, so they must treat SS with respect , at least until Biafra materializes with SS on tow.

Then the Igbos will show the Ijaws pepe as usual, and monopolize the oil industry.
