Justice Oluwatoyin Ipaye of a Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja Wednesday ordered the service of all processes including the motion for interlocutory injunction on the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, spokesman, Chief Olisa Metuh in the N500m defamation suit by Alhaji Lai Mohammed of the All Peoples Congress, APC.

At the resumed hearing of the case, the court after hearing Wahab Shittu for the Claimant, ordered the service of the processes while adjourned further proceedings till November 17, 2015 for report of service and the hearing of the pending application for interlocutory Injunction filed by Mohammed.

The ministerial nominee and spokesman of APC, Alhaji Mohammed, had filed the libel suit asking for N500m as special and general damages against Metuh of the PDP.

According to Mohammed in his suit, claimed Metuh had defamed him in a press release, authoured and circulated on September 20, 2015, where he alleged that he (Mohammed) embezzled the funds meant for fencing of an airport in one of the APC-controlled states in the South-West.

Olisa Metuh of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and Alhaji Lai Mohammed,

Mohammed also claimed that Metuh alleged he (Mohammed) obtained money to supply ambulances to one APC-controlled state in the South-West, which he never did.

In the statement, Metuh was quoted to have wondered where the APC chieftain got the courage to speak on corruption when indeed he had mastered the art of corruption having been “a personal aide to one of the most corrupt politicians to ever bestride the political space of the country.”

Mohammed, who noted he was a one-time coordinator of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Campaign Organisation, disclosed that the statement credited to Metuh was “carefully calculated to inflict damage on my reputation and to lessen me in the estimation of the public.”

According to him, Metuh in the statement had said, “…our final word for the APC spokesman on this, is that being ethically challenged, includes embezzling funds meant for fencing an airport in an APC-led South-West state.

“It also includes when one fraudulently refuses to supply ambulances after collecting monies from another APC South-West state.

“It is a comedy of roles when Alhaji Lai Mohammed speaks on corruption, a topic he practices and has well learnt, being a personal aide to one of the most corrupt politicians to ever bestride the political landscape of the country.”

Claiming monetary damaged, Mohammed claimed that Mehuh had injured his “character in a grave manner and caused him considerable reputational destruction and embarrassment.”

He added that Metuh admitted authorising the statement in a letter by his lawyer, Emeka Etiaba (SAN) dated September 25, 2015 to the claimant’s lawyer, Wahab Shittu, but denied that it was Mohammed that was being referred to.

Mohammed, however, quoted Etiaba to have also referred to an earlier statement where Mohammed also attacked Metuh by stating that “the allegations of corruption hanging on his (Metuh) neck, from within his own party, is a clear indication that he is mortally afraid that the wind will soon blow hard enough to expose the fowl’s rump…”

Mohammed, however, insisted that he made the said statement based on a petition to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission written against Metuh on July 15, 2015 by the PDP, Nkwelle-Ezunaka Ward 1, in the Oyi Local Government chapter of Anambra State.

To this end, Mohammed is seeking an order mandating Metuh to not only retract his statement but to also tender published apology to him in a widely read newspaper for seven consecutive days.

Apart he sought for an order of perpetual injunction restraining Metuh and his privies from further publishing or disseminating libelous materials against him.

Don't know why this trial is taking this long. Someone that should have been sentenced since time immemorial...

Abeg make dem double d chain...na to escape dey d guy head...

The Nigerian Government on Tuesday asked Justice Gabriel Kolawole of the Federal High Court in Abuja, to put the alleged mastermind of the 2010 Independence Day bombing, Charles Okah, in chains.

Mr. Okah, who is standing trial on charges of terrorism alongside Obi Nwabueze, had on October 6 attempted to jump out of the court located at the third floor of a five-storey building.

At the resumed hearing, the prosecution, Alex Iziyon, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, made an oral application requesting Mr. Okah to be chained to avoid a possible abortion of justice.

Mr. Iziyon, who referred the court to Section 269 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015, urged it to grant the application to save the life of the accused person henceforth during proceedings.

“Where a defendant or an accused person misbehaves or displays misconduct in the course of proceedings in such magnitude, he or she should be placed under fetters.

“I urge the court to take judicial notice of the proceedings of Oct. 6 and grant our prayer,’’ he said.

Responding, Samuel Ozidiri, counsel to Mr. Okah, apologised to the court on behalf of his client and urged the court to discountenance the prosecution’s request.

He argued that the application was premature and not worthy of any sympathetic consideration, arguing that the prosecution failed to put the defence on notice before coming up with such an application.

Delivering a bench ruling on the application, Justice Kolawole said granting the prosecution’s request might turn out to be the greatest distraction in the suit.

He said: “By the provisions of section 6 subsection 6 paragraph 8 of the 1999 constitution, this court, as one of the superior courts of record, created by the constitution, is imbued with discretionary jurisdiction.

“This can be exercised without the need for an application from the prosecution once it is of the view that the conduct of the 1st defendant (Okah) is such that it may impede a smooth administration of proceedings.

“I have therefore decided to pull back the court’s exercise of discretionary jurisdiction on the apologies given by the defence counsel.

“But the powers to make any of the orders prescribed in Section 269 and 71 of the ACJ Act, are exercisable once the court forms the view that the 1st defendant needs to be restrained.

“Okah may see this as perhaps the last opportunity not to test the resolve of this court to exercise such powers that are conferred on it by both the constitution and the ACJ Act,’’ Mr. Kolawole said.

The Judge adjourned the suit till October 27 for continuation of trial.(NAN)

This is a war crime. Hand him over to the authorities.

This is why amnesty complained about the method of engagement of the Civilian JTF and the Nigerian Army.

Anybody who believes Olisah Metu in his words is not a serious person. Metu is a chronic and clinical lier who takes solace in destroying his political opponents with lies. A good example was when he alleged that the incumbent executive governor of Ogun was somewhere in Ota trying to influence the electoral results of the gubernatorial election then whereas the gentleman was in the state house at Abeokuta monitoring the election via the television like every other Nigerian. Thanks to Channel TV who immediately called the governor and confirmed his whereabouts. So Metu is always a lier. A pot calling the kettle black. I dont always believe his story.

Abeg help me tell them o...

Goandie:
Bro you try ooo only u dey tackle dis guys nd u dey flog dem.
Don't waste your tym with dem coz

Just that someone has to beat in the message to losers who feel that Metuh is enough to distract the current administration. They had a whole lengthy 6 years to right the wrongs but they turned everything upside. Yet they come here to defend their failures. What a shame!

I totally agree with the write up. The likes of hotel majestic, before 30 and so on do not reflect what Nigerians can actually relate with.
The acts are just too fake to relate with for an average Nigerian.

FlyboyZee:
Its very clear now that even if the open your head and put the facts in your brain, you still won't know them. Well! We were all created differently anyway...

I've seen all your jabs and I had to come to conclusion that you have made absolutely no sense whatsoever in your comments. All you do is to attack personality. I'm not cut out for that. I'd rather talk to a pile of cow shit than spend time explaining simplicity to you.

lovat:
What is the diffrence btw Lai Mohamd then as an opposition mouthpiece and Olisa Metuh now? They both put the government on the defensive and gave you a voice to monitor the shortcomings of the govt in power.
There is no need to go to court when moral suasion should be a catalyst to put the govt on its toes

Trust me, Metuh's uncouth words do not in anyway spike this current administration. Being the mouthpiece for PDP does not mean his job is to bad-mouth every step taken by this administration especially when it is a clear-cut step. In fact, whichever way you view, this guy is only trying to seek relevance for himself and not even for pdp. Don't be surprised if this same metuh decides to switch to apc in the future. Don't tell me it is an impossibility.

Police is your friend, bail is free...

ABEOKUTA-An assistant superintendent of police attached to the Adigbe Police Station in Ogun State, Emmanuel Ogunlesi has inflicted a life-threatening injuries on the head of a 25-year-old student of the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Peter Taiwo.

Taiwo, a Higher National Diploma 1 student of Computer Science was allegedly attacked by Ogunlesi at about 11:00pm last Thursday at Olatidoye Street in the Oluwo area of the state capital.

When our correspondent visited him on his sick bed at the hospital on Monday afternoon, the victim who looked emaciated was in a state of near-coma.

He could neither open his eyes nor utter any word . He was also so weak that he almost fell off a chair when attempts were made to sit him up.

According an witness, Kehinde Bello said Ogunlesi came to the student-dominated area on a motorcycle in company of another policeman and had earlier beaten two female students in the area with his baton on their buttocks and breasts before they escaped.

Bello further alleged that the police officer accosted Taiwo while in pursuit of the two female students who had taken to their heels, following the beatings they received from him.

Another witness alleged that Ogunlesi and his colleague however turned their attention to Taiwo who they pursued into his residence where he caught up with the fleeing student and allegedly dealt on him several blows on the head with his baton.

The policeman was said to have left the student unconscious in a pool of blood and escaped from the scene along with his colleague who rode the motorcycle.

Reacting to the incident, the Acting Police Public Relations Officer for the Command, Abimbola Oyeyemi told our correspondent that the police officer involved had already been summoned to the Eleweran headquarters of the Command and was currently undergoing interrogation.

Oyeyemi disclosed that the state Commissioner of Police, Abdulmajid Ali has also ordered a comprehensive investigation of the incident.

He added that the police high command in the state would not condone any form of violation of human rights of the citizens.

Meanwhile, the state Chairman of the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights, Mr. Olayinka Folarin said that the CDHR would employ all legal means to ensure that justice was done concerning the matter.

Folarin also condemned alleged brutality by police officers against innocent citizens.

Adesina thinks government is comedy or where you write editorials attacking people. He needs to be schooled in the act of govt mouthpiece instead of this schoolboy attitude he displays online.
Metuh is needed to put the government on his toes and also to safeguard democracy. Show me any government without firm opposition and I will show you an AUTOCRATIC govt

No one said this government doesn't need a firm opposition. Let oppositions come out with fact and if they feel unsatisfied, let them proceed to the court of law rather than bad-mouthing. As far as I remember, Metuh started this verbal onslaught and he should be ready to digest the consequence. Now he feels pained when called a 'broken record'. What a hilarious. comparison.

What is annoying Metuh is how dis Adesina guy always comes with a punchline wen replying him, I remember d day d guy gave dem dat name "WAILING WAILERS", he has seen dat Lai Mohammed is too much for him now he is checking out Adesina but d guy has been giving him sucker punch.

Adesina is Metuh's nemesis...

Stop hyperventilating, GEJ is no longer the President and PDP is the past and not the ruling party.

Face the reality and contribute to the advancement of Nigeria's democracy.

You can't benefit much from being a Psycho Fan « APC Psycophant » Sycophantic Psycho

No matter the extent or degree of derogatory remarks you pass on the present administration, it doesn't change the fact that this party will rule you for the next four years and you had better buckle up for the ride.

Stop hyperventilating, GEJ is no longer the President and PDP is the past and not the ruling party.

So you know this and you are still routing for Metuh to be running his mouth on this administration. He is at the back stage now. No one needs his hollow advice.

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
You are not worth debating with because of subjective opinions.

Olisa Metu has behaved himself since PDP became opposition by confining himself with issues and debates that enhance democracy against what APC used to be while in opposition by badmouthing Nigeria and discrediting anything good about this country before the International communities including promoting Bokoharam and serving as the terrorists spokespersons.

Hey, trust me, I am not debating with you and if I have to throw a stage of debate, it won't be with someone like you, void of concrete reasoning. You talk of BH, as if it wasn't a foundation laid by your so-called previous administration. Was he not alive then to offer his advice to GEJ and his cohorts when BH was blowing everywhere in the country. If he did, I guess his contribution was quite insignificant. The same shameful man wants to come into the fore of the ongoing dispensation and pretend like he knows best and has the interest of the country at heart. Nigerians are no more dumb to figure out the truth. Anyone who takes Metuh's word with levity is just like a pack of cards on shaky platform.

Who is to blame for the death of Nigerian TV series? Can our Nigerian shows ever get the kind of attention we give foreign series like ‘The Walking Dead,’ Game of Thrones,’ ‘Empire,’ 'Power' and the rest of them?
https://static.pulse.ng/img/incoming/origs4156004/2876364947-w644-h960/papa-ajasco-fb-ajust-00000.jpg
Why can’t Nigerian TV series get the kind of attention we give to foreign series like ‘The Walking Dead,’ Game of Thrones,’ ‘Empire,’ and the rest of them?
When would Nigerians sit to discuss ‘Taste of Love,’ ‘Before 30,’ or even the once upon a time everyone’s favorite show ‘Tinsel?’
I remember those good old days when people rushed home to watch their favorite Nigerian TV series.
Not only did we have addictive TV shows back in the days, we also had addicted fans. These days, we seem to have few interesting TV series, and fewer addicted fans.
https://static.pulse.ng/img/incoming/origs4263948/1701668281-w408-h960/The-new-village-headmaster.jpg
From the likes of Checkmate,’ ‘Fuji House of Commotion,’ ‘Super Story,’ ‘Village Headmaster,’ ‘Domino,’ ‘Everyday People,’ ‘Beyond the Dream,’ ‘Family Circle,’ ‘Fortunes,’ ‘Mirror in the Sun, ‘Papa Ajasco,’ and many more, Nigerians were once receptive to Nigerian TV series.
Local TV shows were once big deals in Nigeria. How did Nollywood lose that huge fan base. AT what point did they get it wrong?
These days, Nigerians prefer American TV series. A very high percentage of Nigerians prefer Bollywood series and Mexican series, which have been made accessible, thanks to some DSTV channels.
https://static.pulse.ng/img/incoming/origs4263957/0331667724-w408-h960/images-2-.jpg
Why would most Nigerians rather tune to Channel 118 for 45 minutes of ‘Forbidden Passion’, than tune to 153 for 30 minutes of ‘Tinsel?
There are without doubt quality TV series showing on Nigerian screens. From ‘Before 30,’ to ‘Do-Good,’ from ‘Hotel Majestic,’ to ‘The Johnsons, and ‘Taste of Love,’ which is why I think 'quality TV series' isn't entirely the reason behind the death of TV series in Nigeria.
https://static.pulse.ng/img/incoming/origs4263940/9731662024-w408-h960/Before-30-mix.jpg
The truth is, most Nigerians don’t believe in the Nigerian film industry, and would rather watch the most boring foreign show than the most ‘interesting’ Nigerian TV show.
After the era of hit series of the past, quality TV series became a thing of the past, and Nigerians got used to not having something of quality to look forward to.
We became people who would proudly say ‘I don’t watch anything Nollywood.’ Most of us gave up on the industry, and would never sit for a second to see what and how much the industry is doing to recover her lost fans of TV series.
What about stories average Nigerians can relate with? Back in the days, an average Nigerian could watch and relate with virtually all the seires.
https://static.pulse.ng/img/gist/origs3134895/034166930-w408-h960/Superstory-Jealous-Heart-Pulse.jpg
These days, we seem to have more and more stories that are not in any way close to home. It's almost all about sappy relationship tales.
The inability of most filmmakers to tell African stories the way Nigerians can relate with, is definitely one of the reasons why Nigerians are not interested in TV series.
https://static.pulse.ng/img/gist/origs3194573/0381665971-w408-h960/Blossom-Taste-of-Love-Pulse.png
Don't we have historical stories that can be adapted to TV series? - some Nigerians are actually interested in more than sappy stories with happy endings.
Let's not forget the accent our actors appear on screen with, which can be a total turn off (that's totally a topic for another day).
Back in the days, TV stations like NTA used to fund and assist independent producers. But these days, we have very few networks like Africa Magic and EbonyLife TV supporting and funding TV series.
There are also without doubt filmmakers passionate about bringing back the days of passionate series. But then it can't be easy doing that in a country where we have few investors interested in the movie industry.
https://static.pulse.ng/img/incoming/origs3379622/6871662330-w408-h960/2.jpg
"We have people that you meet on a daily basis, and you tell them you have a movie coming up for a premiere, and they tell you “I don’t watch African movies," Juliet Ibrahim said in a recent interview.
I look forward to days when TV series would resurrect. Days when I would get to work, and hear people talk about how interesting the last episode of a series on Sango was , rather than how walkers made their return in ‘The Walking Dead,’ and Jon Snow died in 'Game of Thrones.'
Who or what do you blame for the death of TV series in Nigeria? Poor stories, non talented actors, lack of investors or what?

Therefore, this petition against Sokoto Ministerial nominee, Aisha Abubakar is dead on arrival,” he said.

Powerful statement.

https://cdn.dailypost.ng/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Aisha-Abubakar1.jpg?dbe2a5
The Senate Ad-hoc Committee on Ethics, Public Petitions and Privileges on Monday absolved Sokoto Ministerial nominee, Aisha Abubakar of allegation of incompetence raised against her and presented at plenary last Thursday by Senator Ibrahim Gobir.

The Committee which began hearing today observed that the Petition was addressed to President Muhammadu Buhari and not the President of the Senate as is the guiding rule of the Senate that has powers of investigation.

Senator Dino Melaye observed: “I have gone through the petition and I discovered that it was not addressed to the Senate President in compliance with Section 41 of Senate rules which requires that all petitions be addressed to the Senate President. Therefore, this petition against Sokoto Ministerial nominee, Aisha Abubakar is dead on arrival,” he said.

The sitting which lasted less than 10 minutes began when Dino Melaye and Senior Special Adviser to the President on National Assembly, Ita Enang had a brief discussion with the nominee behind close doors, but in what appears to be premeditated, Melaye said that Abubakar Aisha seems to have met the requirements as enshrined in section 147 and 14(3), section 66 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended, which stipulates the qualifications of a potential minister, hence, it should be dismissed

Responding to inquiries whether she belongs to any political party, the nominee responded that she is a public servant and that she is still in service.

The Chairman in his ruling noted that its report would be ready as soon as possible.

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
Femi Adesina has already lost all credibility hence his words are not worth any sensible consideration.

He should learn when to keep quiet from Garba, his colleague and stop the disgrace on the presidency.

Government is different from opposition while Olisa Metu talks sensibly as experienced Government mouthpiece, Femi Adesina still thinks APC is in the opposition and GEJ is still the President.

Femi needs reorientation.

Good to know this is just your opinion. Maybe you should highlight the sense in what Metuh has said so far.
Look, I will continue to say that PDP totally turned this country upside down. As such, they should just shut up and sit down and let the current administration dispense its duties. PDP have no say in this dispensation. Whatever Metuh is trying to achieve would not impact on Nigerians. He had his opportunity and he failed. Someone else is now there. Let him do his job.

hinwazaka:
The smartest thing, Adesina could have done would have been, to ignore the comments from Metuh. ADESINA is falling deeper and deeper into the trap set by Metuh. The way, it stands he is acting according to whatever tempo set by Metuh. He should backtrack and realise his folly, before it is too late.

I don't see where Adesina has fallen or is falling for any trap. Metuh is a noise maker and that's why he needs to be responded to with uneasiness. Adesina does need to explain anything about the administration to Metuh and that's why he referred to him as a broken record. That's the cutest answer to send to a lowlife like Metuh. With that phrase alone, he has put Metuh in his right space.

hinwazaka:
Who is the focus of your thread, Adesina or Metuh. Be pragmatic and focused, for once in your life

Hey take it easy man...
Being focused means routing for Metuh? Then you are lost. He can cry till eternity, he will never be relevant in the scheme of this administration.

hinwazaka:
The SSA to the President should have been fired a long time ago. His lack of etiquette in carrying out his duties, is shambolic and shameless. This fool, gave an interview where he shamelessly tried to deny the promises made by his party, by distancing the President from the party, like if the President won the election on an independent ticket. Later on, when the President went to Ghana, for a state visit, instead of selling our country, to Ghanaians, the fool was selling Ghana to Nigerians on his twitter page. Even when the Boko Haram sect bombed ABUJA, this dull@rd was caught pants down, sending silly messages on Twitter. Now he dumbly, decided to replicate his earlier propaganda hit by stating that the opposition was sounding like a broken record. Is this the way, a spokesman for a radical and serious President should sound like. Though, the President does not help matters with his itinerary of mistakes and stupendous actions, Adesina, could have done a whole lot better. If the President wants to be taken seriously, the time to do away with Adesina is now, not a year down the road, for if not, it will be too late.

Adesina na d baddest guy...how can you call someone a broken record. He is trying to say Metuh's head is as shown in the picture below. Hahahahaha...So hilarious...e be like say d tin pain metuh well well.

By the way, Metuh is an unnecessary distraction to the current administration. Adesina does not need to answer or report to Metuh. Someone like metuh is only seeking relevance when in the real sense, he is just a spec of sand in the whole situation of the country. Metuh should shut up and sit down. If he has any issue with Buhari's administration, let him go to court.

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
Femi Adesina is a mistake.



He should go back to editorial journalism

I believe you meant Metuh...

Let the fight begin

https://cdn.dailypost.ng/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Olisa-Metuh.jpg?dbe2a5
The opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has described the Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina as an embarrassment to the presidency, stressing that the presidential mouthpiece “lacks depth on his current assignment.” It also questioned the political knowledge of Adesina.

Recall that the Presidential spokesman had on Sunday, while reacting to accusations by the PDP’s spokesman, Chief Olisa Metuh that President Buhari’s anti-corruption war was one-sided, described Metuh as a “broken record” repeating the same lines.

“Mr Olisa Metuh is sounding like a broken record. It’s the same thing that he says all the time,” Adesina had said, assuring “that the President has always maintained that even when it affects APC members, the person concerned must go and defend himself. I think what is of interest to Nigerians is ‘did these people commit the crime?’ It is not whether it is one-sided.”

But reacting through a statement signed by Metuh on Monday, the PDP said: “Mr Adesina, in his habitual deceptive and diversionary manner, left the critical issues of governance raised by Sunday’s press conference addressed by the PDP national publicity secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, and as usual, embarked on insults, shadow-chasing and fouling of the media space with uncouth language.”

“This office has noted Mr Adesina’s several previous unwarranted personal attacks and insults deliberately targeted at the person of the PDP National Publicity Secretary, in his desperate attempt to impress his paymaster and retain his job.

“Our answer remains that inasmuch as we know that this presidency aide lacks depth on his current assignment and has no credible defence, being overwhelmed in his job of trying to launder the image of this government, the characteristic resort always, to lies, malice and vituperations should not be an option. While we appreciate the fact that Mr. Adesina is not conversant and knowledgeable in politics and intricate issues of governance, he should have applied the common sense of covering his hollowness in this regard and save the Presidency the embarrassment of an arrogant attempt to wave off very serious questions hanging in the face of the present administration.

“May we remind the presidency that Nigerians are still waiting for its response to salient national issues raised by the PDP national publicity secretary, bordering on relentless abuse of power, selective application of war against corruption, witch-hunt of opposition elements and perceived political opponents, threats to democratic institutions and government’s clear lack of direction on economic issues.

“How can Mr Adesina explain the fact that while former PDP governors and ministers are being arrested, their APC counterparts, who have more damaging petitions with anti-graft agencies are being rewarded with ministerial positions, with yet others granted APC tickets for Kogi and Bayelsa governorship elections respectively?

“Perhaps Adesina is confirming that the nation now has two separate laws for prosecuting the war against corruption; one, to nail PDP members and perceived opponents of government, and the other to protect APC members and friends of the present administration.

“We challenge Adesina, in the euphoria of trying to satisfy his paymaster, to defend him by showing Nigerians any APC member that has so far been invited or arrested by any anti-graft agency, other than PDP members and perceived political opponents such as Senate President Bukola Saraki.

“It is unfortunate that in trying to wear his master the garb of a democrat, Mr. Adesina has instead muddled up and bungled his assignment with his arrogant posturing on important national issues. Whereas this media aide may have done well in the confines of his newsroom as a media professional, he has so far succeeded in making a mockery of the office of a spokesperson of the president of a country like Nigeria.

“Our final take therefore is that the presidency must note that Nigerians are still waiting for a proper response on the issues raised instead of invectives from an aide who apparently talks before he thinks,” the party stated.
