APO MASSACRE: Obasanjo’s Sister Owns Building?
by Announcer
15 minutes ago

Building where killings took place
The unfinished building where security forces killed at least seven squatters Friday, September 20, in the Apo neighbourhood of Abuja, belongs to Mrs. Adunni Oluwole Salisu, believed to be the sister to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, a PREMIUM TIMES investigation has revealed.
Documents from the Abuja Geographical Information Systems (AGIS) shows that the property, located at No. 8 Bamanga Tukur Street, Gudu District, near the Gudu cemetery, belongs to Mrs. Salisu.
Ownership details of property OG247326, point unmistakably to Mrs. Salisu’s land rights, but neither her, nor the former president, could be reached for comment; although authoritative family sources confirmed the ownership and the relationship.
The Gudu killings have pitched the Nigerian human rights community against anti-terrorist campaigners in a bitter debate about the threshold of caution that security forces on anti-terror missions ought to uphold where the insurgency is generally armed, and have demonstrated maximum capability for ruthless murder and violence.
Soldiers and SSS officials, spurred by intelligence reports that a sleeper cell of the Boko Haram embedded in the Gudu neighbourhood, were about to strike again in Abuja, pre-emtorily stormed the building inhabited by squatters, mostly tricycles drivers, petty traders and artisans, in the early hours of Friday, killing at least seven and leaving several injured.
A spokesman for the tricycle association angrily told the Channels TV in an interview Monday that “because two or three Boko Haram people were in the building offers no excuse to kill innocent people.”
Security forces have been in anxious alert after the Boko Haram insurgents scored a string of deadly success in missions that targeted This Day newspaper office, the United Nations office, the Force Headquarters of the Nigeria Police, and the Anti-Robbery Squad headquarters of the Police. The sect has also visited punishing attacks on neighbourhood churches killing scores of worshipers.
PREMIUM TIMES gathered, within intelligence sources, Tuesday, that a mood of panic alert in the security community was what precipitated the Apo killings also thought to be “quite frankly an operational failure,” underscoring the imperative for deeper and specialized human rights training for agents on anti-insurgency mission.
Residents claim a representative of the owner of the house had given the squatters a week notice to vacate the property.
The squatters were killed before the expiration of the notice. Most of the dead and wounded were shot in the back, execution style.
It is not known yet whether Mr. Obasanjo played any role in that tragic eviction operation.
Meanwhile, multiple security sources have told this paper that the SSS had released most of the squatters arrested at the building after it was unable to link them to any terrorist activities.
News of the release of the squatters came just as the Nigerian Senate, the Police and the National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, promised to investigate the killings.
Chairman of the NHRC, Chidi Odinkalu, told PREMIUM TIMES it was essential to investigate and verify the death of the squatters.
“The facts of this matter should be dispassionately verified,” Mr. Odinkalu said. “That is an obligation everybody must take seriously.”

Kairoseki77: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

GEJ has been in office for four years already...not much to show for it other than an airport and a lot of promises about power.

If you think about it, GEJ will be President for a total of 10 years if he lasts until 2019. As a human being we only get about 7-8 decades on this earth. Do you really want to live an entire decade of your life under GEJ's leadership? I don't! I want to see Naija turn into a first world country before I die, and I don't have any decades to waste!

Nigeria's Gdp $91.37 billion in 1960

China's Gdp $69.79 billion in 1962

We have wasted ENOUGH time with mediocre leaders. It is time for someone that actually can transform Nigeria to take over. Personally, I would prefer Fashola.

DO YOU MIND WHICH REGION THOSE LEADER'S OF YOUR DREAM WILL come FROM? hahaha funny dude.
the last time we check your Fulani/hausa doesn't want development they just want power back to core-north.
but you guys should count we the MB out of your desire.

sorry to tell you pal that we are really tired of you guys, if your people blv they can change naija let the begin by transforming almajiri system in the north.

the major question we should ask is "why are this things happening"? the only answer to it is bcus "the core-north want power back".

the next question is did we (other Nigerian tribes) want that? "NO"


another question is "to whose benefit"? answer is to continue their arewa grip on naija.

those singing ATIKUs song should be careful else we all we live to see the effect of Fulani/hausa domination.
no matter how you hate a man don't go ahead approve of every evil thing against him because some of it might affect u too.

You would notice I excluded Lagos state so as not to cause confusion, Cos lagos State budget alone is just a little shy of the total budget of the whole Southeast

I love what u did but pls give us the source of your SW budget the way you give us SE own.

when ibos complain about shearing formula cheating, they never say the yorubas are doing it against ibos instead they say the nation does it. What the ibos complain about is right. if we refuse to go back to true federalism then you must give them their full shear.

We all knew that federal government refuse to invest anything profitable in SE until GEJ.
Divide this nation or give every region equal Abuja handout except ND .

Have you been watching Miss Nigeria, Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria e.t.c? 95% of the girls in pant and bra dancing on stage in the presence of some old runs guys are Ibo girls. Even representatives of most Northern states and some Yoruba states are Ibo girls. Anything for money, including modified prostitution modelling.

that is so because Yoruba women mostly are ugly.

I think time has come in Nigeria when ibo Yoruba supremacy battle will stop.

but come oo the mighty katsmoto [/b]was defeated disgracefully today by [b]jp Philips.
mt.jp Philips I must confess that your argument are an eye opening.
recently I haV come to blv that many fine mind yorubas on NL are machineries even FFK has username in NL.
read his post well and you will know its NL like.

another thing that I find out is that whenever ibo professionals challenges Yoruba professionals the later usually go down. the same thing happened when FFK call on ibo bright mind to come and challenge him or contract any, he was mocking ibos but when few came FFK disappeared and change his game to "all I know is am a Yoruba first b4 am a Nigeria and I have no apology for that" anyway I love the ibos they don't talk too much

anyway mr.kats you remain one of the fine mind Yoruba in nl but mr.jp Philips dealt with you heavily in this debate.

bennyraz: if you are a Nigerian and you ever lived outside the country, you will be responsible for the bolded! Nigerians leaving in UK, US, Canada, netherland, normay, australia actually work and pay their bills and the country involved are considered as host countries. so does the American Government pay immigrants unemployment allowances or pay for their healthcare? pls reason before you type! you all are quick to talk without reasoning and it is a bad habit!

sorry but its obvious you don't know the different between citizenship and immigrants with your above post.

how will u feel after buying a piece of land and build a beautiful house only for the guy that sold the land returned and tell you "yes I sold the land to you legally but that did not mean you are a land lord nor house owner"
too many of us claim to be Christians but are worse than demons.

Dudu_Negro:

The days of e don doo is behind us. He has more to say but the utterances coming from the other side has shifted from "we own Lagos" and "Lagos is no mans land" to calls to restrain Fani. Femi does not mind personal attack against his person but he is upset at foreigners insulting his people. I bet you if Ibos had not stopped to voice their delusion about Lagos Femi would have dealt more blows.

The primary action that restrained Ibos was when Kalu was locked out of his house in Lagos. Kalu is one of top 5 most important SEasterners. Almost every Ibo leader has an abode in Lagos and if someone as highly important in Alaigbo as Kalu is can be locked out of his home by LASG then no Ibo is safe. Since that action we have not heard poo come any Ibo about percentage and ownershio or dispute about who owns Lagos

Ibos love to be assaulted and they shall get it going forward in the new era they created for themselves. E don doo has been scrapped from our hearing.

the bolded are laughable but wait a moment did u in anyway see ibos as cowards? no they are not.
I can see through the bolded that you are happy that LASG is heating the ibos ryt? you are not alone on that quote me, too many yorubas do. but the question is "why did yorubas and Fulani,hausas hate ibos too much?"

the issue with ibos is that they Are matured, they don't talk anyhow;
in my home state the ibos has a lot of properties yet they make no noise so its in their nature.

am cool been in the midst of the ibos anyday anytime.

Orlando Owoh:
The South East has demonstrated that they are incompetent to head this country as demonstrated by their history of corruption in the Senate Presidency from 1999 to 2007. The senate presidents from that part of the country: Evans Enwerem, Chuba Okadigbo and Adulphus Wabara, all lost their seats because they were corrupt. I remember a northern delegate during the 2006 Sovereign National Conference saying if the SE could not maintain the position of Senate Presidency, they should forget about producing the president of Nigeria.

body politic; blur those imaginary boundaries that separate citizen from citizen; encourage all Nigerians to feel at home anywhere of their choice in Nigeria...

musiwa1c: The earliest and only universities before the colonization of the Americas were established and run in medieval Europe.
Year Name Contemporaneous location Current location Notes
1088 University of Bologna Coat of arms of Bologna Commune of Bologna Italy Bologna, Italy The first university in the sense of a higher-learning, degree-awarding institute, the word university having been coined at its foundation.[11]
1167 (1254) University of Oxford Kingdom of England United Kingdom Oxford, United Kingdom "Claimed to be the oldest university in the English speaking world, there is no clear date of foundation of Oxford University, but teaching existed at Oxford in some form in 1096 and developed rapidly from 1167, when Henry II banned English students from attending the University of Paris."[12] Teaching suspended in 1209 (due to town execution of two scholars) and 1355 (due to the St. Scholastica Day riot), but was continuous during the English Civil War (1642–1651) - the University was Royalist. All Souls College and University College have repeatedly claimed that they own documents proving that teaching in Oxford started in the year 825, but these documents have never seen the public light (allegedly, John Speed dated his famous 1605 Oxford maps based on these documents). However, it was not until 1254 that Pope Innocent IV granted to Oxford the University charter by papal bull ("Querentes in agro"wink.
1209 (1231) University of Cambridge Kingdom of England United Kingdom Cambridge, United Kingdom Founded by scholars leaving Oxford after a dispute caused by the execution of two scholars in 1209, and royal charter was granted in 1231.[13] The university takes 1209 as its official anniversary.[14] Through one of Cambridge alumni, John Harvard, it inspired the establishment of Cambridge in Massachusetts, United States with the first college in America, Harvard University.
1218 (probably older) University of Salamanca Pennant of the Kingdom of León Kingdom of León Spain Salamanca, Spain It is the oldest university in operation in Spain. Although there are records of the University granting degrees many years before (James Trager's People's Chronology sets its foundation date in 1134), it only received the Royal chart of foundation as "Estudio General" in 1218, making it possibly the fourth or even the third oldest European university in continuous operations. However, it was the first European university to receive the title of "University" as such, granted by king of Castile and León Alfonso X and the Pope in 1254. Having been excluded from the University in 1852 by the Spanish government, the Faculties of Theology and Canon Law became the Pontifical University of Salamanca in 1940.
1222 (probably older) University of Padua Coat of arms of Padua Commune of Padua Italy Padua, Italy Founded by scholars and professors after leaving Bologna.
1224 University of Naples Federico II King Manfred of Sicily Arms.svg Kingdom of Sicily Italy Naples, Italy The first public university,[15] founded by Frederick II, emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
1240 University of Siena Coat of arms of Siena Republic of Siena Italy Siena, Italy Originally called Studium Senese, was founded by Commune of Siena in 1240. In 1321, the studium was able to attract a larger number or pupils due to a mass exodus from the prestigious neighbouring University of Bologna. Closed temporarily in 1808–1815 when Napoleonic forces occupied Tuscany. On November 7, 1990 the university celebrated its 750th anniversary.
1241 University of Valladolid Escudo de la Corona de Castilla.svg Kingdom of Castile, Crown of Castile Spain Valladolid, Spain One hypothesis is that its foundation is the result of the transfer of Palencia General Survey between 1208 and 1241 by Alfonso VIII, king of Castile, and Bishop Tello Téllez de Meneses.
1272 University of Murcia Escudo de la Corona de Castilla.svg Kingdom of Castile, Crown of Castile Spain Murcia, Spain The University of Murcia was founded in 1272 by the King Alfonso X of Castile.[16]
1290 University of Macerata[17] Coat of arms of the Papal States Papal States Italy Macerata, Italy The University of Macerata (Italian: Università degli Studi di Macerata) is a university located in Macerata, Marche, Italy. It was founded in 1290 and is organized into 7 faculties.
1290 University of Coimbra[17] Armas portugal 1247.png Kingdom of Portugal
LSB.png Lisbon Portugal Coimbra, Portugal Begun its existence in Lisbon with the name Studium Generale (Estudo Geral). Scientiae thesaurus mirabilis, the royal charter announcing the institution of the University, was dated 1 March of that year, although efforts had been made at least since 1288 to create this first university in Portugal. The papal confirmation was also given in 1290 (on 9 August of that year), during the papacy of Pope Nicholas IV.
1293 University of Alcalá Pennant of the Crown of Castile Crown of Castile Spain Alcalá de Henares, Spain The University of Alcalá was founded by King Sancho IV of Castile as Studium Generale in 1293 in Alcalá de Henares. It was granted Papal Bull in 1499, and quickly gained international fame thanks to the patronage of Cardinal Cisneros and the production of the Complutensian Polyglot Bible in 1517, which is the basis for most of the current translations. The University moved to Madrid in 1836 by Royal Decree. The Moyano Law of 1857 established Complutense as the sole university in Spain authorized to confer the title of Doctor on any scholar. This law remained in effect until 1969.
1303 La Sapienza University of Rome Coat of arms of the Papal States Papal States Italy Rome, Italy Founded by Pope Boniface VIII, but became a state university in 1935. According to the Catholic Encyclopaedia, the university "remained closed during the entire pontificate of Clement VII".

Camerino has been a center of learning since no later than 1200, offering degrees in civil law, canonical law, medicine, and literary studies. Gregory XI took the decision upon the request of Gentile III da Varano with the papal edict of 29 January 1377, directed to the commune and to the people, authorizing Camerino to confer (after appropriate examination) bachelor and doctoral degrees with apostolic authority.
1343 University of Pisa Coat of arms of the Republic of Pisa Republic of Pisa Italy Pisa, Italy It was formally founded on September 3, 1343 by an edict of Pope Clement VI, although there had been lectures on law in Pisa since the 11th century.
