The situation is very delicate. It is an undeniable fact the it's the turn of SE to produce the president. However Biafran agitation is raging currently, and non of the major contenders from the SE denounces Biafran movement the way the way FG and Northerners want. All of them believe it it caused by injustice that must be addressed. If they are denied the seat, they will also be drawn to separatism as ohaneze is already threatening.

I heard they were close to 10 policemen killed in the attack.
When will this crisis end? Won't FG dialogue? Or does the FG not care about the live of security operatives?

I was in a terminal of one of the major transport companies and watched MTV base. For hours, all they showed was money, dollars, cars, Baba God don't bless me, half naked women and absolutely meaningless and irresponsible lyrics that can only inspire teenagers to commit crime.

This people influence our youths. The way the dress, what they think etc it's also (alongside social media) put girls under pressure to do all manner of surgeries to enhance their sex appeal and attract yahoo boys.

Lalasticlala, mynd44 OAMJ4 is this opinion not front-page worthy?

ThankGodFriday:



Okay let's blame Davido for all the skull minning in YorubaLand

you can blame whoever you want but there is a strong connection between our music and rise in the mentality op wrote about.

Nothing bad ends which starts in Nigeria.

Mynd44:


Hence why this analogy is short sighted.

People can have dual nationality and it is okay

sorry, your argument of dual citizenship is not valid here since one cannot travel with two passports at the same time. Any country on whose passport one travels is the one that protects an individual. Nigeria will run into trouble the same way Kenya would run into trouble it they Kidnap Obama with US passport on foreign soil.

Mynd44:
Now read this story again but this way.

Mr Charles and John are joint owners of the phone 50-50

except that a phone can't be owned by two people

Jerryherd:
Good one, let him use his own hands, to set himself up

Bindmans filling a law suit on the process of his rendition would only open up terrorism charges against him in UK

It's going to be Kenyan government vs bindmans law firm representing Nnamdi Kanu struggling it out in the UK court

are you OK? Read again.

I know of UNCHR, I know of amnesty international, I know of AUCHR but what is International Commission on Human Rights?
Just saw it's website and it is looking like a Nigerian group.

Mynd44:

This joke needs to end.

1. According to the Nigerian evidence act (as amended) evidence gotten through illegal means can be used in court as long a such evidence is untampered with hence if Kanu's extradition is illegal, Nigerian courts don't care. As long as he is here. The Kenyan garment will never admit that he was arrested on their turf or involved. The Nigerian government will not say how he was arrested. International politics is not checkers, it is chess

2. Who made the extradition illegal? Why was Hushouppi extradited to the US without a hearing? Heck, he is not even American but when he committed crimes so strongly against America, they called for him and UAE police arrested him.

3. You guys really believe the UK is going to put mouth in this? Weird flex

Despite you post full of rhetorical questions and not actually claims, I feel compelled to say that your opinion is given from a position of ignorance and most of your assumptions are baseless.

Before you boast of "international politics" you first boast about how many super powers agree with your position on a given issue. Before PKK leader was taken from Kenya, Turkey got US, UK , EU and a lot of other countries to agree that his organisation was a terrorist organisation. US intelligence even aided Kenya in arresting him taking him to turkey.

Hushpuppi whose case you are citing was Dubai based. However, he was wanted in Europe, US and even his home country Nigeria for cybercrime when he was arrested by Dubai police for same charges. Efcc even collaborated with FBI during investigation. You can see why these extraditions were pretty simple.

Kanu's case is significantly different in the sense that none except Nigeria recognize him as a terrorist. He enters US, EU, Israel and UK freely. Heck, the Kenya from where he was taken, he entered it with a valid Visa and UK passport.

My impression is that he was meant o "disappear" in Kenya without any traces and his documents/ gadgets used to hunt members his group. But the airport scenes footage and the inability to lay hands on his documents and devices meant there would be incontrovertible evidence of his abduction, hence the 8 days detention and torture to get them.

From emmerging facts, It is clear this is a badly messed up operation, with FG forced to hide how they arrested a supposed "terrorist". It is clear that Nigeria is on her own. Also notice how foreign affairs ministry is staying out of the case.

As for UK taking action, I'm happy you put that up as a question. But be reminded that not just UK but some other state actors and lobby groups are also involved and a lot will happen as times unfold.

Are you not worried that Nigeria seems to be at stand off with their most powerful defender UK over this KANU issue?

Hmm

My fear. I laugh at those who use the idea of a possible UK collussion in Kanu's kidnap to justify the act. The much I know, the UK can be quite cunning but they can never bring themselves to a direct standoff with international law. IPOB, herdsmen banditry and killings by govt forces generate a lot of interest in the international community but no country can act against it openly because of the principle of non interference. Now that Nigeria appear to have broken same international law, interested state actors like US, Israel, EU have found an excuse, and will likely use UK at this period to execute their mission.

Another mismanaged operation by the govt.
Who advises this govt?

These has been my questions

CilicMarin:


There is no legitimacy on how you kill or arrest a Terrorist...e.g Osama bin Laden who was killed in another country...

If you need to kidnap someone back home, it means such a person is not a terrorist. Osama bin laden was the world's most wanted terrorist. He was declared a terrorist my more than 100 countries. Even US got approval from Pakistan before conducting the operations which killed him.

Unfortunately, the FG has not gotten a single country to agree that KANU is a terrorist. If it is comfirmed he was illegally brought to Nigeria, it will be Nigeria and not Kanu that violated the international law.

This is concerning because each step ever taken by this government against the agitation from the onset appear to have promoted it to the next level.

On arriving at the location where he was to collect the ‘donation’, he was arrested by that country’s security agencies and Interpol, and his extradition was expedited, the source said.

This has brought an end to the long-running episode since he left Nigeria while on bail.

His trial is expected to resume on July 26.

Stop spreading fake news. He was neither extradited nor arrested by interpol. If he was, AG would've mentioned it.

megastu:
He had a Nigeria passport. If you notice, that was deliberately mentioned.

His passport was siezed by the court in Nigeria.

LegalWolf:


Keep “supposing” brah

keep quoting me sissy

Guestlander:


I am not here to lecture you. We are here to rejoice that a notorious hate monger has been captured once again.

"Rejoicing" wasn't mentioned as the title of the thread. Go create a thread on that and quit derailing this thread.

Guestlander:


Who said the police in your own country cannot hand you over to the interpol?

You could have continued with your silly rhetorical questions. Don't make claims because you're not good at backing them up with facts.

Sources this sources that. You ended up making several claims you can't independently verify.

Guestlander:



Very very complex indeed, that is why it took the Americans less than a week to get Hush puppy. How long did it take OBJ to send Charles Taylor to Sierra Leone?
Sit down there and wail, you are very good at it.

Always talking without making any sense. Hush puppy was arrested by interpol in UAE and not in his home country Nigeria. Charles Taylor had an international arrest warrant by the ICC and Nigeria is a member of ICC, they only complied with it.

From Czechs republic to UK to south Cameroon then Kenya. Everyone is speculating.

The title isn't found in the content

We need more information. How are you saying he was "arrested" without mentioning interpol? Czechs republic can't arrest a UK citizen and hand him to Nigeria, I suppose.

All depends on the circumstances surrounding his 'arrest'. If he was extradicted, that's in order. But It is clear he wasn't extradited. If he was kidnapped in UK, US or from any western country, Nigeria will be in for a very long thing. If he was kidnapped from neighbouring weak African countries and the country acknowledges it, then Nigeria will be violating international law with its implications.

olatade:



You are only granted a naturalized citizens as long as you are of good behavior. It can be taken away from you anytime.
So I laugh at those who are naturalized and think their citizenship is on the "same level as the "owners of the land"

did UK say he violated any law? He is not recognized as a terrorist in UK and no extradition hearing was done for him. If at all UK handed him over( which is unlikely), it would be for the basis of dialogue.

ajailer:
NK was most likely kidnapped and brought back to naija..... Do u guys remember umaru dikko style... How he was almost kidnapped by buhari regime....

Same thing happened here......

let's be honest, if the FG are capable of kidnapping such a threat, won't they rather poison or assassinate him there than wasting time on trial in Nigeria?

Who also noticed that words like "arrested" "extradited" and "interpol" were conspicuously ommitted in the AG's press statement. He only said KANU was "intercepted".

thebosstrevor1:


No sir.

Some people even claim that interpol arrested him, if Nigeria wanted an interpol arrest, they would have done it since the day he ran.

you have not proven anything. The AG didn't say he was arrested. He also didn't mention interpol or extradition. He only said he was "intercepted" through the collaborative effort of Nigeria intelligence. IPOB has also not made any official statement to acknowledge his 'arrest'. So I'll assume his presence in Nigeria has to with dialogue.

How come the atourney general didn't say how or were they got him? Why did he also avoid using the words "arrested" "extradited" "interpol''? Instead the media are the ones saying . He only said that KANU was " intercepted through the collaborative efforts of Nigerian intelligence agencies"
My wild guess is that he is here for dialogue. Well let's see events unfold.

thebosstrevor1:


Continue waiting for links.

Security issues are not written on newspapers

it means you are guessing right?
