PoliticsOzhekome Flays Kanu’s Bail Condition, Urges Lawyers To File Variation Appeal by Decibel(op): 7:16pm On Apr 27, 2017
By Joseph Erunke
ABUJA-HUMAN rights crusader and constitutional lawyer, Chief Mike Ozhekome, yesterday, carpeted Justice Binta Nyako,over her Tuesday’s bail condition on leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.

This was even as he hailed the judge for her action, saying it was a demonstration of rare courage by the judiciary against the executive overbearing influence. Ozhekome ,who said bail conditions were simply to ensure attendance of a person in court,noted that any bail condition that becomes excessive or punitive, loses its purpose, function and goal. To this end, he urged lawyers to the IPOB leader to immediately file application before the same trial judge, Justice Binta Nyako, for variation of the bail terms to more favourable ones. In a statement he released last night, Ozhekome noted that such application ”ll make Kanu a human being once more.” ”Bail conditions are simply to ensure the attendance of a person in court, and nothing more.
Once excessive or punitive, bail loses its purpose, function and goal. ”I urge Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyers to immediately file an application before the same Justice Binta, for variation of the bail terms to more favourable ones, that will make Kanu a human being once more,”he insisted. ”I urge the Nigerian judiciary to stand up “gidigba”, to defend the rights of all Nigerians against executive lawlessness, judicial timidity and legislative rascality. God bless Nigeria and Nigerians,”he further said.

The full text of the statement which he captioned ”Nnamdi Kanu’s travail:A bare bail devoid of liberty”,read thu: ” I congratulate Justice Binta Nyako for being courageous enough to even grant bail at all to IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, on health grounds. ”This is predicated on the truism that the Judiciary has been so humiliated, browbeaten, terrorized and emasculated by the Executive, that it takes extraordinary courage and daring bravado, for a Judge to even grant bail to a much vilified Nnamdi Kanu, whose only “crime” is that he seeks self determination for his repressed, oppressed, suppressed and marginalized indigenous people of Biafra, a right recognized even by the UNO and AU in all self – determination instruments. ”

The catch here however, is that in granting the bail, the Judge, apparently trying to tread softly, took back with the right hand what she gave with the left hand. ” Bail is a constitutional right. It is guaranteed by section 35(5) of the 1999 Constitution, with or without conditions attached.
But any conditions so attached to bail must be such that the grant of bail is itself not rendered meaningless and impotent as in the Nnamdi case. Kanu’s bail conditions are outrightly stringent, punitive, discriminatory, profiling and stereotyping. Hear them: ”He must produce 3 sureties, who must deposit the sum of 100m each (a ready recipe for corruption). ”One of the sureties must be a highly respected Jewish leader since Kanu practices Judaism as his religion (discrimination on the basis of religion). Produce a highly placed person of Igbo extraction (discrimination on the basis of place of origin and ethnic group). ”Produce a respected person who resides and owns landed property in Abuja (a call for the elitist money bags). Must not attend any rally or grant an interview (breach of freedom of movement and speech). ”Must not be in a crowd exceeding 10 persons (denial of freedom of Association). Must surrender his Nigerian and British passports (denial of freedom of movement). Must sign an undertaking to be available for trial at all times (normal. This is the main purpose of bail). ”His wedding ring and reading glasses to be given back to him (thank God for tokenism). Must provide monthly update on Kanu’s health (yes, to ensure his health is improving). ”Some of the bail conditions are not only troubling, unsetting and punitive, but are simply unconstitutional, as briefly highlighted above.”[/b]

Section 42(1) of the 1999 Constitution provides that “a citizen of Nigeria of a particular community, ethnic group, place of origin, sex, religion or political opinion shall not, by reason only that he is such a person:- ”

(a) be subjected either expressly by, or in the practical application of, any executive or administrative action of the government, to disabilities or restrictions to which citizens of Nigeria of other communities, ethnic groups, places of origin, sex, religions or political opinions are not made subject to; or ”

(b) be accorded either expressly by, or in the practical application of, any law in force in Nigeria or any such executive or administrative action, any privilege or advantage that is not accorded to citizens of Nigeria of other communities, ethnic groups, places of origin, sex, religions or political opinions. ”

(2) No citizen of Nigeria shall be subjected to any disability or deprivation merely by reason of the circumstances of his birth. ”It is crystal clear from these constitutional provisions that the stringent bail conditions granted to Nnamdi have clearly discriminated against him and subjected him to “certain disabilities or restriction” on the basis of his religion, place of birth, political opinion and ethnic group. ”What the bail conditions are simply saying is that it will be illegal, forbidden and contrary to the bail conditions were Kanu to do the following: ”

(a) Kanu cannot be received by a multitude of his village people, kindred and kinsmen, who have missed his presence since his mindless incarceration over one and half years ago, contrary to the right to freedom of Association granted by section 40 of the 1999 Constitution. ”

(b) That Kanu cannot express his right to freedom of expression clearly guaranteed by section 39 of the Constitution. ”

(c) That Kanu cannot exercise his freedom of movement guaranteed by section 41 of the Constitution. ”

(d) That Kanu cannot receive sympathizers, well wishers and political Associates, once they are more than 10. ”

(e) That Kanu cannot freely exercise, without being monitored, his freedom of religion and conscience contrary to section 38 of the Nigerian Constitution. ”

(f) That Kanu cannot, at any given time, even in his household or larger family setting, host more than 10 people (ludicrous; unnatural!). ”

(g) That Kanu cannot even visit any hospital to take care of his health, because the hospital staff of Doctors, nurses, para-medical staff and other patients, must surely exceed 10 (contrary to section 17(3)(c) of the Constitution. ”

(h) That Kanu cannot attend church service or the synagogue worship to glorify God in thanksgiving for his release, since such place of worship will harbour hundreds if not thousands, of people (contrary to section 10 and 38 of the Constitution). ”

(i) That Kanu cannot even go to a busy motor park, airport, seaport, Parks and Gardens, Cinema hall, theatre, to transport himself, watch films or relax, or even go to Shoprite to shop. ”

(j) That Kanu cannot deliver lectures to students, or groups, or participate in seminars, workshops, summits, conferences, etc., as these involve many people. ”

(k) That by way of summary, Kanu should remain a hermit, marooned like Robinson Crusoe in the 1719 novel of the same name, by Daniel Defoe, who spent over 28 years as a castaway, after he was washed up on the shores of a deserted island, near the mouth of Oronoco River in South America. ”Day by day, we subject the Nigerian society to bottomless ridicule and derision in the comity of Nations.”

Am really enjoying this. I think this is time for the common igbo and yoruba man to abandon hatred and face the real enemy.

Just like someone said up there what the hausa needs to do is get there History experts who will come and remind the igboman the real initiator of 1978 starvation policy, during the civil.

Thats like a scar that will never heal as long any igbo man is concerned. They might even tell us that Yakubu Gowon and TY Danjuma arent hausa men.
Exactly, this will be the next card the North will play to get the Easterners to hate the Yoruba

@soulpeppersoup,u are spot on.
This roforofo fight between the igbos and yorubas even here on nairaland,will still favour the Hausas.They know d game better. Prof Ango did some good job in his interview by stating that the North will always win.
When we advise people to stop all this afonja and ipob,dem no go hear?The Igbos will prefer hausa than the yorubas and with their "affinity" towards cash,ur guess is as good as mine.
My take is most importantly,that d common benefit from the Nigerian State.
Ango Abdullahi and Junaid Mohammed are two Northern elites who have been blunt in their posits and share the same sentiments and ideology of every other 'born-to-rule' Hausa/fulanis.
I can remember vividly one of the series of interviews he granted to some media houses some time in 2014 which he said that the North has the number to win the president and when captured will hold the power perpetually until they are tired and drunk in it before giving it to any other region they wish.Imagine that?

Makes an offer Igbos accept. That is a deal that will alienate the Yoruba for a long time. Seeing the Igbos joining APC in droves is a sign of political alignment. Nothing last forever, some variables may have to be substituted.

PoliticsBuhari Medical Tourism : Is The North Planning Something Sinister? by Decibel(op):
The failure of president Muhammadu Buhari to return to Nigeria after spending 10days plus on routine Medical Tourism is really a thing of concern which has made some people from different quarters believing that the North is planning something sinister.

Some also believe that since the President has extended his Medical Tourism to indefinite number of days is an avenue for the North to buy more time and execute their clear thought-out plan with series of meetings of Northern elites, politicians, Emirs, Religious leaders and Aso Rock cabals.

To this point I think Yorubas should watch their back especially Vice President Yemi Osibanjo cos these fulani herdsmen are about to strike having suspected betrayal and repeat of the history in the past (YARADUA 2.0).

As a matter of fact the Northwest has been producing sick presidents which have antecedent of dieing while in office starting from Abacha, Yarudua to the present Muhamadu Buhari.

The time is now for the Yoruba race to deploy every diplomatic instrument in their arsenal to fight these monstrous herdsmen in the Northern region to a stand still before they overthrow their own son Osibanjo through a north-controlled military and security apparatus.

My only advice to Osibanjo is to lie low and allow the Yoruba political heavy-weights and footsoldiers to the fight while he watches on.
