Obiano will walk away freely

Willie Obiano, the immediate past Anambra State Governor has been dragged before the United State District Court for the Southern District of Texas over the alleged gruesome killing of five members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) member by the Nigerian Army.
According to court documents obtained by SaharaReporters on Friday, the suit was filed by the wives of the deceased identified as Jane Does 1-5, the complainants who are seeking damages under “the Torture Victim Protection Act against Defendant Willie Obiano for the extrajudicial killings under colour of Nigerian law by Nigerian military forces under Defendant’s command and control of their husbands, identified as John Does 1-5.”
The case was filed through their legal representative, Bruce Fein, who is also Nnamdi Kanu’s US-based lawyer.
The lawyer argued that the US court had jurisdiction to entertain the matter because the plaintiffs brought the matter under US law, Torture Victim Protection Act of 1991 and that the defendant, Obiano is now a resident of Texas.
According to the document, during his tenure as Governor of Anambra State, Obiano possessed command responsibility and effective control over the Nigerian soldiers complicit in the extrajudicial killing of John Does and acting in concert with former Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari or his agents.
The court document read, “On October 23, 2020, John Doe No 1 was attending a peaceful IPOB rally in Nnewi, Anambra State under the government of Defendant Obiano to support the restoration of Biafra sovereignty.
“He was shot dead by Nigerian military forces under the command and control of Defendant Obiano under color of Nigerian law in a prominent market square where the Biafran demonstrators had peacefully gathered.
“About seven truckloads of heavily armed Nigerian military men stormed the market square and began indiscriminately shooting at IPOB demonstrators, killing at least 13 including John Doe No1.
“The Government of Nigeria has refused to investigate the extrajudicial killing of John Doe and seeking judicial relief in a civil suit would be futile because Nigeria's judiciary is an arm of the Executive Branch.”
In the Statement of Facts, the plaintiffs further said, “Defendant Willie Obiano served as Governor of Anambra State in Nigeria from March 17, 2014, to March 17, 2022. In November 2021, through his spokesman Don Adinuba, Defendant revealed his intent to move to the United States when his second gubernatorial term expired on March 17, 2022.
“Defendant was immediately arrested for suspected corruption by Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission upon departing office but was released for medical reasons. Defendant came to the United States to receive medical treatment on or about March 2022.
11. During his service as Governor of Anambra State, Defendant Obiano possessed command
responsibility and effective control over the Nigerian soldiers complicit in the extrajudicial
killing of John Does 1-5 under color of Nigerian law acting in concert with Nigerian
President Muhammadu Buhari or his agents.
“12. Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is an organization dedicated to the peaceful restoration
of Biafra sovereignty extinguished a century ago in Nigeria by British military conquest in the so-called “Scramble for Africa.” Biafra occupies Southeast Nigeria sporting a population approximating 70 million. Biafrans are overwhelmingly Christian. They are gifted
entrepreneurs and embrace democracy including equality for women and devotion to education. The predominance of Nigeria’s rich oil resources is in Biafra.
“15. Nnamdi Kanu is the consensus leader of IPOB. In June 2021, while visiting Nairobi, Kenya, Mr. Kanu was kidnapped, tortured, and subject to extraordinary rendition by Nigerian authorities to Abuja on concocted charges of treason and terrorism. Mr. Kanu has been
illegally imprisoned without trial in solitary confinement and denied access to needed medical care. On July 20, 2022, the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention issued an authoritative opinion finding Mr. Kanu’s detention by Nigerian authorities violated sixteen (16) human rights covenants and ordered his immediate and unconditional release. The Government of Nigeria is in contempt of the Working Group’s order.
16. In September 2017, the Government of Nigeria attempted the assassination of Nnamdi Kanu in his home. The Abia State High Court in Nigeria has awarded Mr. Kanu a large sum of money in damages for the assassination attempt.
“17. Nigeria has made IPOB membership or professed membership a terrorist crime. IPOB was
decreed a terrorist organization by President Buhari in September 2017 with no due process. Despite furious lobbying by the Government of Nigeria, no other country in the world has found IPOB a terrorist organization. “18. To profess or exhibit IPOB membership in Nigeria is like Jews forced to wear the yellow Star of David on their clothing in Nazi Germany: they are immediately placed in the crosshairs of th lole Fulani terrorist government of Nigeria.”
According to the court documents, the Plaintiffs request the following relief against Defendant Obiano: “(a) Compensatory damages for Counts I-V in amounts to be determined at trial; (b) Punitive damages for Counts I-V in amounts to be determined at trial; (c) Attorney's fees;

“(d) Costs and pre-judgment interest; and, (e) Such other relief that the Court finds just and proper.”

The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has assured his members and supporters that he and they must pursue the actualisation of Biafra Nation to the end.
According to Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, the IPOB leader’s lawyer, Kanu gave his supporters the assurance from detention where he is being held in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) by the Nigerian government for alleged treasonable felony and terrorism.
Ejimakor said that the IPOB leader who was arrested and detained since June 2021, said that his pursuit for self-determination to its logical conclusion is non-negotiable.
Ejimakor quoted Kanu as saying in a personal message, “I deeply appreciate the abiding solidarity of the people of Biafra & the entire IPOB noble family against my continued illegal detention.
“I assure you all that our pursuit of self-determination to its logical conclusion is non-negotiable”.

ThatFairGuy:
Why are you trying to paint it as something honourable?

Isn't it because they're scared of being killeddd by Terrorist Ipob hence they were forced to sit at home.

You should be ashamed not making it seem it's a norm

Mbah on Saturday threatened to close schools, markets and motor parks and businesses that failed to open for business or academic activities on Monday.

Residents of Enugu city, the Enugu State capital, southeast Nigeria and its environs have reinforced the Monday sit-at-home despite the state government's ban on the 'illegal sit-at-home'.

SaharaReporters had reported that Governor Peter Mbah on Saturday threatened to close schools, markets and motor parks and businesses that failed to open for business or academic activities on Monday, June 5, 2023, and thereafter.

The governor had in a public service announcement on Saturday stated that the directive followed his recent ban/cancellation of the Monday sit-at-home exercise in all nooks and crannies of the state, starting from Monday, June 5, 2023.

Mbah had said: "This is to inform all schools, markets, retail outlets, hospitals, transporters, malls and the general members of the public that, in view of the recent ban/cancellation of Mondays' sit-at-home by the Government of Enugu State, in all nooks and crannies of the state, they have been directed to go about their normal businesses and activities every day of the week, including Mondays.

"The above-mentioned bodies and others alike are required to comply with the directive as adequate security measures have been taken to guarantee their safety.

Members of the government's task force will be moving around to monitor compliance. Any market, transport outlet, or any other body that fails to open for business risks being shut down immediately."

However, SaharaReporters which monitored the compliance level on Monday morning observed that residents instead reenforced the sit-at-home exercise.

For instance, visits to Holy Ghost, Old Park, Garrik, Emene, Eke-Obinagu, Abakpa and Zik Avenue showed that unlike previous Mondays in recent months when some people came out to open their businesses early; this time, roads were totally deserted.

Schools within the city centre and on the outskirts of the state capital were shut while filling stations were also closed. At the Holy Ghost area where there are lots of motor parks, the story was the same. All transport companies in the area totally their businesses. At Old Orie Emene, commuters deserted the roads. Also, Enugu-Abakaliki Road which is almost ever busy, was deserted. For 30 minutes, SaharaReporters observed that no single vehicle passed the road.

However, there were a few buses and tricycle operators on roads inside communities but there were no passengers to carry. Some private vehicles were also seen plying the roads.

You can all continue killing yourselves. Tinubu has more important issues to face. Tinubu will not interfere in Igbos in IPOB, ESN, UGM killing fellow Igbos. Tinubu will also not interfere in Hausa/Fulanis killing each other.
