Yes the story is true, but definitely not up to 42 cups, I think it was about 4 or 5 cups. He was a minister in the 1st republic, I heard Balewa had to tell him in Hausa language to turn his cup over.

Baba Suwe’s Lawyer To Sue NDLEA For N1 Billion

r231:
Barrister Badr Mohammed Bashir, lawyer to Nollywood comic actor Baba Suwe, who has been detained for seven days at Lagos airport, says he is set to sue the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, for N1billion for breaching the fundamental human rights of his client.

Barr. Bashir told P.M.NEWS today that irrespective of the outcome of the waiting game between NDLEA and Baba Suwe, the anti narcotics agency has no business holding his client for more than 24 hours over alleged involvement in drug trafficking.

He said: “Right now, I am preparing the brief to file for the enforcement of the fundamental human right of my client at the Federal High Court and by Friday I can assure you that the matter will be in court. NDLEA has no right whatsoever to detain my client indefinitely. I am not saying they should not do their job but rather they should do it within the limit of the law. No law permits them to detain Baba Suwe indefinitely but since they have chosen to do what pleases them, then I have not option than to sue them for N1billion”

Barr. Bashir lamented that he has not been able to contacthis client since he was detained on Wednesday last week as NDLEA officials have continuously refused all his entreaties to see him.

“Can you imagine that NDLEA officials told me that I cannot see my client until they are through with him? Where have you heard that when someone is under investigation, he cannot see his or her lawyer. I think this is the height of abuse of the law and NDLEA must pay for this,” he said.

The ace comedian, whose real name is Babatunde Omidina, was arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, southwest Nigeria, on Wednesday, 12 October as he was about boarding an Air France flight to Paris, France, where he was billed to attend a naming ceremony.

He was detained after some strange particles suspected to be hard drugs were allegedly detected in his stomach by the United States-donated scanner known as Soter RS.

He has denied the allegations and promised to sue the agency.

The Director General of NDLEA, Mr. Femi Ajayi, said in a television interview on Monday that according to standard practice, a drug suspect must test negative at least three times to convince anti-narcotics agents he is innocent after particles are detected by the scanning machine.

The Lagos airport Commander of the NDLEA, Mr. Hamza Umar, said last week after the arrest that there was enough ground for suspecting the comedian, adding that in previous arrests, some suspects had excreted the drug at the fourth excretion.

For seven days now, since the popular comedian was arrested and detained by NDLEA operatives, Nigerians have been waiting to know the outcome of the drug saga.

The arrest of Baba Suwe is generating a lot of interest in the Nigerian media and social network sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

Thousands of people had shared P.M.NEWS stories on Baba Suwe on their facebook pages, millions have been discussing it and many more are holding their breath to know who between Baba Suwe and the NDLEA will be vindicated.

Some are already calling the drug saga, a tragicomedy of gargantuan errors.

Meanwhile, Baba Suwe’s colleague, Adewale Elesho, has warned that there would be problems in the country if the comedian dies in NDLEA cell.

Speaking with P.M.NEWS, Elesho wondered why the comedian is still being detained after several excretions that all tested negative to drug ingestion.

He said that NDLEA owes the public an explanation “because I am suspecting that they might want to play a fast game and implicate the actor.”

Elesho told P.M.NEWS that he is awaiting directives from former ANTP president, Jide Kosoko, to know the next line of action.

Honestly, this is becoming an abuse, the whole baba suwe drug saga is starting to look like a setup

@ Psalm23

I salute your courage. And I pray that the good Lord will give you the grace and the strength to carry it through. I will be praying for u.

All will be well.

Who elected/appointed these people as Yoruba leaders?

Too bad that some will actually welcome the military back despite all we went through under the military.

But I blame it on PDP mis-governance. Looks like they are taking our democracy for granted.

macjive01:
Oamj, why do u keep changing my topic header, it read Ndigbo presents five years plan to develop SA.
Why do u keep changing it to ibos ? Ibos?

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-784773.0.html

Do u not hv any respect ?

No Yoruba leader wud ever in his life address Igbos as ibos, so why u?

Take this as my last warning! or else u will immensely regret it. U will beg for death but death won't come.

Sound of a baby's cry wud be as scarce in your household as rain in a dessert.

Please dont take it personal. I am not ethnocentric. I didn't modify your thread title and I forgive your insults and curses.

I guess it was modified while it was being put on homepage for maximum coverage and I dont think it was modified out of disrespect.

So I apologise on behalf of the home page managers if you feel offended. And I will let them know some Igbos find it offensive/insulting to be called Ibos.

Thanks. Linked.

Ok sir. Good luck. I will pass.

Why I took to terrorism, by Abdulmutallab

IT is a study in the psychology of a young, well-trained engineer from an affluent background turned terror mind. Psycoanalysts and allied professionals would do well to pour over it now, not for its author’s sake for he may well be beyond helping in the hands of an unmovable justice system and a people braying for his blood, but for many young minds on the same path of needless waste of their God-given potentials and sure destruction in Nigeria, yes Nigeria, and some far-flung places across the world.

In flawless prose which bore a mark of his formal education in some of the best schools around, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the young Nigerian accused by the United States (U.S.) of attempting to blow up a U.S. jetliner on Christmas Day in December 2009 has disclosed publicly for the first time, details of his conspiracy against the U.S. and why he decided to become a terrorist against that country. America.

The disclosures were in the prepared statements he made at the U.S. District Court in Detroit, Michigan, transcripts of which were just released by the court, after Abdulmutallab pleaded guilty and ended the trial abruptly.

The trial ended suddenly last Wednesday in Detroit, when Abdulmutallab decided to plead guilty after the prosecution laid out the evidence against him and called its first witness.

The self-confessed terrorist may have decided to plead guilty suddenly on the second day of the trial because he was dazed by the extent of evidence laid out against him by the prosecution, according to the U.S.-based Nigerian lawyer, Kayode Oladele, who represented the Federal Government of Nigeria in a watching brief at the trial.

In the transcripts of his statement, released by Judge Nancy Edmund’s court officials, Abdulmutallab, in pleading guilty warned the U.S. that God may directly strike and disclosed publicly for the first time how and why he chose to attack the U.S.

According to him, “in late 2009, in fulfillment of a religious obligation, I decided to participate in jihad against the United States. The Koran obliges every able Muslim to participate in jihad and fight in the way of Allah, those who fight you, and kill them wherever you find them, some parts of the Koran say, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”

He continued: “I had an agreement with at least one person to attack the United States in retaliation for U.S. support of Israel and in retaliation of the killing of innocent and civilian Muslim populations in Palestine, especially in the blockade of Gaza and in retaliation for the killing of innocent and civilian Muslim populations in Yemen, Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan and beyond, most of them women, children, and noncombatants.”

Abdulmutallab went on to say that as a result of his determination, “ I travelled to Yemen and eventually to the United States, and I agreed with at least one person to carry an explosive device onto an aircraft and attempt to kill those onboard and wreck the aircraft as an act of jihad against the United States for the U.S. killing of my Muslim brothers and sisters around the world.”

Before he went on to concede to all the eight counts against him, Abdulmutallab also disclosed that he was “greatly inspired to participate in jihad by the lectures of the great and rightly guided Mujahedeen who is alive, Sheikh Anwar al-Awlaki, may Allah preserve him and his family and give them victory, Amen, and Allah knows best.”

He was referring to the same al-Awlaki, a U.S.-born terrorist killed by U.S. drones last month in Yemen. .

Abdulmutallab continued: “Participation in jihad against the United States is considered among the most virtuous of deeds in Islam and is highly encouraged in the Koran; however, according to U.S. law, which is unjust and oppressive according to the Koran, my actions make me guilty of a crime in the United States.”

He then addressed each of the counts against him specifically, and pleaded guilty to them all.

DESPITE the criticisms trailing the recent sack of non-indigenes in its workforce, the Abia State Government at the weekend said it would not rescind the decision.

This was disclosed at the weekend by the Information/Strategy Commissioner, Okwubunka Don Ubani while speaking to journalists in Umuahia.

He said, “the decision is irreversible despite the criticisms in many quarters. The policy is not negotiable, no amount of criticism will make government change its mind, it was well thought out and taken by the government in the interest of Abians. Other South East states had earlier disengaged Abians in their service years ago without any fuss.”

He recalled that Enugu State Government was the first to sack Abia workers in its public service and wondered why the Enugu State House of Assembly was now condemning the same action taken by Abia State years after, even as Abia State lawmakers approved the policy.

Reacting to the recent advertorial sponsored by Association of Anambra State Development Unions in Aba on the same issue, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Conflict Management, Dr. Anthony C.B Agbazuere, pointed out that there was law in the state backing the policy.

According to him: “An employee cannot be forced on an employer, while a contract of employment is not a fundamental right as many have been ignorantly conjecturing. With the return of Abia indigenes in some northern states as a result of the insurgence of Boko Haram, coupled with the implication of the N18,000 minimum wage, Abia State Government is constrained to face its primary responsibility, which is Abia citizens.”

Also reacting to the report credited to the Aba branch of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), which held that the policy was done in bad faith, the Special Adviser to the governor on Electronic Media, Chief Ugo Emezue in a statement accused the NBA of acting ignorantly, asserting that, “the issue of transfer of service of non-indigenes did not start with the Abia State Government, as it had been effected long earlier in several other places in the country.”
