The Chairman, Senate Adhoc Committee on Media and Publicity, Mr. Dino Melaye, has
defended his open support for Mrs. Toyin Saraki, wife of the Senate President, when she
honoured an invitation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
The Senator, representing Kogi West in the National Assembly, said he had no regrets joining
Saraki at the EFCC office.
Melaye said he went to the EFCC office “as a private investigator and an anti-corruption
crusader,” to find out the extent of culpability of his “sister and friend” since she was not told
the content of the petition against her.
He said he was arrested 14 times in one year by the administration of ex-President Goodluck
Jonathan because of his commitment to seeing a better Nigeria
He said, “The invitation of Mrs. Toyin Saraki by the EFCC, however, is not a criminal indictment.
I will not abandon my friend because of (a) mere EFCC invitation.
“I also went there as a private investigator and an anti-corruption crusader to find out the
extent of culpability of my sister and friend since she was not told the content of the petition
against her before her appearance before the EFCC.”
Melaye, in a statement entitled, ‘Stand up for what you believe in regardless of the popularity
or acceptance of your belief,’ which was obtained by Saturday PUNCH in Abuja, challenged
anyone to controvert his claim that he had never taken any government contract, be it at the
local, state or federal level.
He said, “I chose to react to the attacks I have received from my brothers, sisters and fellow
citizens because I was seen in the headquarters of EFCC with my sister, Mrs. Toyin Saraki.
“I will start by saying that my struggle to fight corruption in Nigeria was not an assignment or a
paid job. It was borne out of passion and desire to build a new Nigeria where justice, equity
and egalitarianism become a new order.
“I was arrested 14 times in one year by the administration of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan
because I desire a country where my grandchildren (that I may never know) will dwell in a
nation where life is already structured for them.
“I cannot throw away my sacrifice of being beaten and my clothes torn on the floor of the
House of Representatives because of fighting against corruption. I have come too far to
compromise my stand on corruption and corrupt persons.
“I make bold here to challenge anybody who will controvert the truth that I have never done
any government contract, either at the LG, state or federal levels. It is not criminal to do so, but
he who must come to equity must come with clean hands.
“If my father is invited by the EFCC, I will go there; if a prima facie case is established against
him, I will shout for his prosecution. So my great people, I have no regret following my friend
and sister to the EFCC. If you are my friend, you are my friend.”

DUTSE — Senator Abdulaziz Usman Tarabu, representing North-East Senatorial zone escaped lynching at a Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, rally held at Biriniwa in Jigawa state.

According to reports, the Senator was attacked by members of his constituency as he attempted to address them. The PDP Jigawa State chapter has been holding rallies in all the three Senatorial zones of the state ahead of the local government election slated for January 18, 2014. At the rally, the youths who had gathered started spontaneous chants of “bamayi, bamayi” which means “we are not in support of you” in Hausa language as the senator attempted to climb the podium to address party faithful.

The chants changed to ‘bamaso-bamaso’, meaning “we don’t like you” as the senator continued his climb. As the chants grew louder and turned from mere chants to hauling of pure water sachets and other items, the Senator was forced to withdraw his address and return to his seat.

It was also gathered that another Senator, Abdulmumini Hassan Zareku, was also meted a similar treatment by irate youths in Miga Local Government Area of Dutse Emirate Council, a situation which forced him not to address the gathering in the area. The incident took place in Miga, the headquarters of Miga Local Government Area, which comprises seven local government areas where the seven candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were presented to their electorate by Governor Sule Lamido.

Immediately the senator mounted the podium to address the crowd, the shouting started. The youths chanted ‘bamaso, kasauka, bakayi, mana komeba’, meaning, “we don’t like you, come down from the podium, you have done nothing for us.” Despite the courage by the senator to ignore them, he had to stop when the shouting became so intense, and was becoming an embarrassment to the personalities at the rally.
Reacting to the tensed situation, Governor Lamido expressed disappointment, saying, the behaviour exhibited was contrary to that of Jigawa State citizens who are known to be kind and accommodating.

Lagos lawyer and human
rights activists, Mr. Femi Falana, has
called on the EkitiState governor, Mr.
Kayode Fayemi, to ensure that those
responsible for the killing of one Mr.
Foluso Ogundare at a political rally in
Emure Ekiti, on November 4, were
brought to book.
He called on the governor to declare
zero tolerance for extra-judicial
killings, political violence, and
thuggery in the state.
Falana in a statement, yesterday, said
“On November 4, 2013 a peaceful
political rally in Emure Ekiti was
violently attacked by some armed
thugs. In the mayhem visited on the
unarmed people at the rally, one Mr.
Foluso Ogundare was attacked and
severely wounded.
“He was rushed to the hospital, where
he gave up the ghost. Two days later,
I sent a petition to the Inspector-
General of Police, Mr. Mohammed
Abubakar to demand for the
immediate arrest and prosecution of
all the cowards, who snuffed life out
of Mr. Ogundare. Since there are eye
witnesses, who were present at the
scene where the dastardly act was
executed in broad daylight, the Police
should quickly conclude investigation
into the incident and charge the
suspects to court for the criminal
offences of conspiracy and murder.
“As I did say in my afore-mentioned
petition to the Inspector-General of
Police, “To stem the tide of political
violence in Ekiti State, I am
compelled to request you to direct
the Ekiti State police command to
prosecute all the suspects, as well as
the criminals who recently unleashed
violence on law abiding citizens at a
burial ceremony at Iyin-Ekiti and at a
political meeting at Ado-Ekiti. The
thugs and their masterminds should
not be given the impression that they
have immunity from prosecution for
unleashing violence on innocent
people.
“It is sad to note that since 2003,
successive governments in EkitiState
have treated indicted murderers like
sacred cows. Hence, criminals whose
hands are soaked in blood have held
Ekiti people hostage. From the
information at my disposal, all the
suspects responsible for the
politically motivated killings in
EkitiState for the past 10 years have
been identified by the Police and the
Department of Security Services.
Indeed majority of the suspects were
charged to the state High Court in
Ado Ekiti. But the cases were
deliberately programmed to fail
leading to the release of the
suspected murderers, including those
who had admitted their role and
involvement in such heinous crimes.
“A political chieftain of and his
police orderly, who were convicted
and jailed for killing two students of
the Ikere College of Education were
granted pardon and set free in 2009.
At about the same time, the suspects,
who were standing trial for the
gruesome murder of Dr Ayo Daramola
and Mr Tunde Omojola were granted
bail in questionable circumstances.
“Since then the whereabouts of some
of the suspects has remained
unknown and the cases may soon be
struck out for want of diligent
prosecution. No government which
allows murderers whose hands are
soaked with the blood of innocent
people to walk free can seriously
stop the shedding of the blood of
innocent people.”
“In the atmosphere of impunity which
has gradually returned to Ekitiland,
the state government cannot wash off
its hands like Pontius Pilate. As the
Chief Security Officer of the state,
Governor Kayode Fayemi owes it a
duty to guarantee the safety of the
life and property of every person
living in EkitiState.
“As a matter of urgency, the governor
should declare zero tolerance for
extra-judicial killings, political
violence, thuggery and other criminal
activities. In particular, the state
government should collaborate with
the Police to prosecute the killers of
Foluso Ogundare without any further
delay. More importantly, there should
be a Committee Against Impunity to
ensure the arrest and prosecution of
all the suspects indicted for murder
and attempted murder in EkitiState
from 2003-2013.
“It is only by isolating and
prosecuting such well known
murderers and their sponsors for
their iniquitous deeds that politically
motivated killings will stop in
EkitiState. I, therefore, call on the
vigilant people of EkitiState to
continue to expose and shame the
few murderers and other criminals,
who have recently exposed the state
to odium, ridicule and
embarrassment.”

JOS— Five suspects have been
arrested by the Police in Plateau
State in connection with the ritual
killing of an 11-year-old girl, whose
eyes and tongue had been removed
when her corpse was found.
Four of those arrested were believed
to be the actual killers of the girl,
who was on an errand for her
grandmother with whom she lived in
Fillin-Sukwa area of Jos.
The fifth suspect, identified as a
dealer in shoes, allegedly contracted
the other suspects to get him the
human parts for N300,000.
A relative quoted the grandmother as
saying she sent her granddaughter to
buy Masa (a local rice snack) around
7.30a.m., but that she never returned.
After waiting for a while, the
grandmother went to the Masa seller,
who told her that the girl came, but
was sent on an errand by one of the
suspects.
Subsequent efforts to trace the girl
failed only for her corp-se to be
discovered in an un-completed
building, days later.
A neighbour confirmed that the girl’s
corpse was found last Friday.
Police Public Relations Officer, DSP
Felicia Anslem confirmed the arrests,
saying investigations were on.
