ABUJA – A team of lawyers representing the embattled leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has asked the Federal High Court in Abuja to compel the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, to produce their client in court dead or alive.
Leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
Kanu’s lawyers, led by Mr. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, told the court that they have not seen or heard from their client since September 14 when the “Nigerian Army invaded the Applicant’s house on a murderous raid, where life and mortar bullets were fired on unarmed and defenseless populace, leaving 28 persons dead and abducting many”.
Pursuant to section 40 of the Federal High Court Act, F12, LFN 2005 and section 6(6) (1) (4) of the 1999 constitution, as amended, Kanu’s lawyers applied for “an order of Habeas Corpus ad subjiciendum, commanding the Respondent, to produce the Applicant in Court”.
The lawyers, in the suit that has Kanu as the Applicant and Buratai as Respondent, told the court that their request was predicated on the following grounds:
“That the Applicant is the Leader of th IPOB, a group largely made up of People from South-Eastern part of the Country, mostly Biafra extraction; who are at all times materials lawfully exercising their constitutionally guaranteed rights to self determination, freedom of Association and peaceful Assembly.
“The Applicant was arrested on the 14th day of October, 2015 and consequently arraigned in Court along other Defendants on the 20th day of January, 2016, on 11 (Eleven) Count charge of Treasonable felony, conspiracy to Commit treasonable felony, belonging to an unlawful society, importation of goods, publication of libelous matters, etc. Six out of this eleven count charge had since the 28th day of March 2017, been struck out by the Court, including allegation of belonging to an unlawful Society.
“The Applicant was granted bail on the 25th day of April, 2017, by His Lordship Hon, Justice Binta Nyanko. The Applicant is still enjoying the bail granted him by the Court seized of the matter, when the Prosecution filed an application on the 25th day of August 2017, requesting the Court to revoke the bail granted the Applicant.
e. Hearing on the matter is slated to commence on the 17th day of October, 2017.
“On the 12th September, 2017, the Nigeria Military Soldiers acting under express command handed down by the Respondent, violently invaded the Applicant’s home in Afara-ukwu Ibeku, Umuahia Abia State, wherein scores of his relative were brutally wounded and many killed.
“On 14th day of September, 2017, the Nigerian Military led by Soldiers of the Nigerian Army invaded the Applicant’s house on a murderous raid, where life and mortar bullets were fired on unarmed and defenseless populace, leaving 28 persons dead and abducting many.
“The Applicant who was in the house during this bloody onslaught by the Soldiers, has not been heard from or seen after this bloody attack in his home by the Agents of the Respondent since the 14th day of September 2017.
“That the invading Soldiers in their desperate bid to ensure that the Applicant is caught in the attack climbed stairs to his bedroom upstairs to shot him; walls of his bedroom were riddled with bullets.
j. The invading Soldiers who had direct contact with the Applicant on this fateful day (14th day of September 2017) should be in a position to produce the Applicant before the court. It is either the Respondent’s rampaging Soldiers abducted the Applicant during this raid or must have killed him in the process.
“Section 40 of the Federal High Court Act empowers this Court to Order that a Writ of Habeas Corpus ad Subjiciendum; (A Writ directed to someone detaining another person and commanding that the detainee be brought to Court) be issued on the Respondent, to produce the Applicant in Court, particularly now his substantive criminal trial is coming up on the 17th day of October, 2017”.
They maintained that the Court was vested with inherent powers Under Section 6(6) (a)- (d) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as (Amended 2011) to entertain the application and grant reliefs sought herein.
Besides, in a supporting affidavit that was deposed by one Prince Mandela Umegborogu, he told the court that he was told by Kanu’s younger brother, Emmanuel, that on September 12, “Soldiers of Nigerian Army, numbering about 200 ( two hundred) fully armed to the teeth invaded the residential home of the Applicant in Afarauwku- Ibeku, Umuahia, in Abia State”.
“That the invading Soldiers were deployed to the South-Eastern part of the Country by the Respondent in a covert operation tagged Operation Python dance II (Egwu eke II), an exercise exclusively under the Respondent’s command and control.
“That the Soldiers who also drove in a purpose-built sophisticated armored personnel carrier, fired live bullets on the relatives of the Applicant, leaving scores brutally wounded, and arrested many.
“That the said Military deployment to the South-East was approved, without any history of arms resistance by the Applicant’s members or combatant attacks on Military personnel and installation from the civilian populace.
“That during the bloody attack/invasion of the Applicant’s home, scores were killed and others forced to abandon their sleep and run for cover in nearby bushes, which include nursing mothers, pregnant women, children and the aged.
that on that same day, September 12, dozens of supporters of the Applicant who were on a courtesy visit to him, were also barricaded at Isialangwa and tortured on the same day.
“That the Applicant was emotionally traumatized and visibly tortured on account of heavy causalities recorded in this unprovoked attack from the invading Soldiers.
“That on September 14, the Nigerian Soldiers invaded the Applicant’s home for the second time, unfortunately on a brutal but murderous raid that left 28 (twenty eight) persons dead, and over 48 (forty eight) arrested and taken away to an unknown destination.
“That the Applicant was sitting right inside his bedroom when the Soldiers invaded his home.
“That the Soldiers in their desperate efforts to ensure that the Applicant who is their main target is gunned down, climbed the stairs to his bedroom upstairs to shot him.
“That the wall of the Applicant’s bedroom is riddled with bullets holes till date. Attached and marked as Exhibits EK1, EK2, EK3, EK4, EK5 EK6, EK7 and EK8 are photographs showing with sufficient clarity the impacts of this assault on the Applicant’s home.
“That the by virtue of this contact the soldiers had with the Applicant in his room on this 14th day of September 2017, the soldiers must know where the Applicant is, his fate and state of health”.
He told the court that “the rampaging Soldiers”, busted into Kanu’s room in the course of the “bloody attack and shoot at everything on sight, including living objects”.
Attached and variously marked Exhibits EK9, EK10, EK11, EK12, EK13 and EK14, in the suit, were photographs and video footage the deponent said was evidence of the “dastardly attack on the home of the Applicant, including the bullets holes in his bedroom”.
He said: “That the trigger happy Soldiers shot sporadically into the air, for about forty minutes, before forcing their way into the Applicant’s house.
“That the Applicant only managed to alert his Lawyer- Bar Ifeanyi Ejiofor on the war-like deafening sounds of guns, being fired into the air, which shooting was targeted at the unarmed and defenseless members of the Applicant’s household, and IPOB members who were on a visit to the Applicant’s house.
“That his Lawyer Bar. Ifeanyi Ejiofor quickly issued a statement drawing the attention of the world to the bloody attack going on in the Applicant’s house, which statement was promptly published by reputable online media houses”.
According to the affidavit, the soldiers took away many dead bodies and arrested over 48 persons.
Kanu’s lawyers told the court that search so far conducted by the Applicant’s siblings had not been yielded any fruit, as the Applicant is still missing, adding that the palace of their aged father, housing the Applicant’s apartment, inclusive of the Applicant’s building, was shattered with mortar bullets.
They told the court that they have made several entreaties to the Respondent to direct his Soldiers to release the Applicant or his body for a befitting burial if he was killed in the onslaught, saying their effort has not yielded fruit.
According to them, Kanu was eagerly preparing to appear in court for his trial on October 17, before his house was invaded by soldiers, adding that he was never invited by any security Agency to respon to any criminal allegation, “before this unprovoked bloody assault in his home”.
The affidavit further read: “That the murderous raid in the home of the Applicant is targeted at eliminating him and not to arrest him.
“That if the intention of the Respondent was to arrest the Applicant, they would have quietly done that without killing unarmed and defenseless civilian populace found in the Applicant’s house.
“That the Applicant and the members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) are non-violent and unarmed group, agitating for their right to self determination.
“That the IPOB do not carry arms neither are they into any form of armed struggle, and do not have history of violence. That the present situation is serious, thus requiring the immediate intervention of this Honourable Court.
“That unless this Honourable Court intervenes, and command the Respondent or its agents, privies, howsoever called, to produce the Applicant in Court they will still continue to keep the Applicant, without allowing him access to his family members and Solicitors”, it read.

Thirty journalists and newspaper executives from a Turkish newspaper which was shut down in 2016 went on trial on Monday, facing life sentences over charges that they had links to a failed coup attempt.
The former employees of Zaman Newspaper are charged with “membership of an armed terror organisation” and “attempting to overthrow” the government, parliament and the constitutional order through their links to cleric Fethullah Gulen.
Zaman was affiliated with Gulen, the U.S.-based cleric and former ally of President Tayyip Erdogan.
Gulen is blamed by Ankara for instigating the failed July 2016 coup, but denies any involvement.
Zaman was first seized by the Turkish government in March 2016, months before the coup attempt, and then closed down by a government decree.
Twenty-two of the suspects have been in pre-trial detention for months, including 73-year-old columnist Sahin Alpay.
“If it had ever crossed my mind that the Gulenist movement would take a role in a coup attempt, I would never have written a column in the Zaman newspaper,” Dogan news agency quoted Alpay as saying.
The indictment calls for three consecutive life sentences for the Zaman staff on charges of attempting to overthrow the constitutional order, the Turkish parliament and the Turkish government.
It said that the newspaper had exceeded the limits of press freedom and freedom of expression.
“I accept that this is an armed terrorist organisation, but I was never a member of it,” columnist Ali Bulac told the court in Silivri, the site of a large prison about 60 km (40 miles) west of the city.
“He had not paid close attention to the Gulenist movement’s activities, he said.
“I missed the hole in the ground when I was watching the stars.
“Bu, who did see it?,” Bulac said, adding the group’s operations were perceived to be legal during the time he worked for Zaman.
Turkey’s Justice Ministry announced in July that more than 50,000 people had been arrested and 169,013 have been the subject of legal proceedings since the coup attempt.
The scale of the crackdown has drawn criticism from Turkey’s Western allies and led German Chancellor Angela Merkel to call for Ankara’s EU accession talks to be called off.
Turkey says the sweeping response to the coup reflects the deep security challenges the country has faced.
Rights groups say more than 160 journalists are detained in Turkey, making it the world’s biggest jailer of journalists.
The hearing will continue this week.

Kaduna – The Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI), has directed all Imams in the country to preach peace and tolerance during sermons at Friday prayers.
Dr Khalid Aliyu, JNI Secretary General, said at a press briefing in Kaduna that the measure was to forestall any breach of the peace following recent clashes in the south east.
“It is important we make this call today being Friday, a very important day for Muslims in which they will climb the pulpit to read sermons, that the sermons should be geared towards calling for peace and calming of nerves.
“Taking laws into our hands will not yield anything, if for anything it will only escalate the already tense situation in the country,’’ Aliyu stressed
He said, “Our country is passing through trying times, very painful trying times of agitation and counter agitation, which lead to disturbing the peace of the country.
“JNI being umbrella organization of all Muslim organizations in this country under the leadership of Sultan of Sokoto, finds it imperative to call for calm, restraint, peace and dialogue.’’
He described the killings in Aba as unpalatable, adding, “I think if somebody loses his head, the most important thing is to trust the leadership and allow government to take action.’’
The JNI secretary general called on leaders in the south eastern part of the country to call their youth to orders and build momentum for peace.
He cautioned the media against inciting reports, saying it was important for the media to serve as unifier rather than destroyer.
“JNI also calls on governors to bring before the law, anyone who try to destabilise the peace of the country.’’(NAN)

BENIN— Concerned Edo Leaders of Thought, CELT, comprising elders and leader in Edo State, has said the call for restructuring of the nation should be subjected to a referendum so Nigerians can decide what they want.
The leaders, in a statement, yesterday, by their President, Col. Paul Ogbebor (retd.), who condemned the secession move by some Nigerians, urged the Federal Government to ensure the unity of the nation, adding that separation is not in the best interest of the nation.
The statement by Ogbebor, and others, said 30 percent of the wealth of the country should be invested in research, while dedicating 40 percent to agriculture.
He said: “80 percent of all projects design and execution should, by law, be executed by Nigerians to save the import of technology and work force and the export of our scarce foreign currency.
“Nigerians were able to successfully execute Jos-Baro railway extension. 55 years later, they should be able to successfully execute all new railway lines and extensions instead of the current use of foreigners.
… on agitations
“The restive groups in Nigeria should sheathe their swords and toe the path of dialogue and peaceful co-existence within a united Nigeria. Suffice to say that any action that will lead to another civil war must be avoided at all costs.
“We believe in the unity of Nigeria and, therefore, not in support of any idea of secession by any component part that makes up the country no matter how well intentioned by the agitators. The country stands to benefit.
“We should call for a referendum in deciding the kind of restructuring we want.
“So that at the end of the day, we will all agree on what brings us together and brings development to us.”
