Imo State governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha yesterday boasted that he would recover all the senatorial seats in the state on behalf of his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, currently held by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The governor made the chest-beating while reacting to the ruling yesterday by the Appeal Court, Owerri division, ordering the return of the hearing of the petition challenging the election of Senator Hope Uzodimma, representing Imo West, at the March 2015 general elections.
Okorocha told the party members who came to the Government House, Owerri, on a solidarity visit after the ruling that he had concluded arrangements with the judiciary hierarchy in the country to make the tribunals rule in favour of the APC candidates in the ongoing trials.
The Imo State governorship and national assembly election tribunal had on August 2015 struck out the petition by the APC candidate, Senator Osita Izunaso, on the grounds that the latter failed to pay the prescribed fees for pretrial notice within the stipulated period.
In the ruling yesterday, the Court of Appeal ordered the tribunal to hear the petition again on merit.
The PDP won all the three senatorial seats in the state in the last general election.
Governor Okorocha comes from the same Imo West as Senator Uzodimma and the senatorial election in that district is believed to be the most keenly contested in the state at the last elections.
Keen watchers of Imo politics are, however, are of the view that Governor Okorocha might be setting for himself a tall order because, apart from the fact that the PDP candidates are believed to have truly won the elections, being more popular than their APC opponents, it may be difficult to meet the 180 days deadline stipulated for all election petitions to be heard and concluded.
Both Section 134 (2) of Electoral Act and Section 285(6) of the 1999 Constitution provide that an election tribunal must deliver its judgment in writing within 180 days from the day of the filing of the petition.
The Supreme Court emphasised this in ANPP vs Goni when it held that the “Provision of Section 285(6) of the 1999 Constitution is clear and unambiguous… The period of 180 days is not limited to trials but also to de novo trials that may be ordered by an Appeal Court.”
With these provisions of the laws of the land, observers are of the view that it is almost impossible for the tribunal in Owerri to dispose of the Imo West case within the less than 40 days left of the 180 days allowed by the electoral act and 1999 Constitution

GEL and PDP at it again

The Nigerian government is
currently holding a three-day
meeting with all commanders of
Army formations on plans to rig
the rescheduled general elections,
the main opposition party, All
Progressives Congress, APC, has
said.
Speaking at a press conference
Monday in Abuja, the APC national
chairman, John Oyegun, said the
meetings are currently ongoing in
Kaduna.
Before the APC press conference, a
military insider had written as
follows to PREMIUM TIMES: “The
presidency has forwarded a secret
memo to all commanders of
divisions, battalions of the
Nigerian Army for a 3-day
strategic meeting in Kaduna from
Monday. Agenda: ‘How to use
military to intimidate voters in
APC states, to rig elections in
favour of GEJ.”
But the military has denied any
such meeting.
The Director of Defence
Information, Chris Olukolade, a
Major General, said, “I’m not
aware of any meeting between the
military and politicians. All I know
is that Kaduna is an area where a
lot of military training and
exercises go on regula

can this be possible in 6 weeks?

The All Progressives Congress and
its presidential candidate,
Muhammadu Buhari, have
opposed the orders of a Federal
High Court in Abuja, directing that
they be served through substituted
means in the suit challenging Mr.
Buhari’s eligibility to stand for the
March 28 presidential poll.
The Judge of a Federal High Court
Abuja, Adeniyi Ademola, had in
two separate suits challenging Mr.
Buhari’s eligibility to contest the
election, last week granted ex
parte orders permitting the
plaintiffs, Chukwunweike Okafor
and Max Ozoaka, to serve Mr.
Buhari and the APC through
newspaper publications.
The court had also granted an
order of abridgment of time
within which the defendants must
respond to the suits.
The lawyers of the two plaintiffs
were in court to represent their
clients in the separate suits in on
Monday.
The electoral empire, Independent
National Electoral Commission,
was also joined in the suit as
defendants.
Counsels to Mr. Buhari and the
APC informed the court Monday
that they would file applications
challenging the competence of the
suits and the entire steps taken so
far, including the orders of service
through substituted means.
Their lawyers, Wole Olanipekun
and Lateef Fagbemi, urged the
court to adjourn the matter to
enable them to file all the
necessary documents.
Mr. Fagbemi also urged the court
to set aside the order of
abridgment of time within which
the defendants must file their
responses, arguing that the
granting of the order hinged on
urgency had already been
diminished with the postponement
of the poll from February 14 to
March 28.
The judge adjourned the suits to
February 23.
Apart from the two suits under consideration, at
least three other suits seeking an order directing
INEC to disqualify Mr. Buhari from participating
in the poll are also in separate courts.
In the substantive suit, Mr. Ozoaka through his
counsel Ade Okeaya-Inneh is seeking among
other relief:
-“A declaration that by the combined provisions
of Sections 31(1) (2) and (3) of the 2010 Electoral
Act as amended and INEC Form CF 001, the 1st
defendant is mandatorily obliged by the law to
comply strictly with the provisions laid down
under the Electoral Act as amended and INEC
Form CF 001 as it relates to attaching evidence
of the 1st defendants birth certificate and
evidence of his educational qualifications as
required under INEC Form CF 001;
-A declaration that by the combined reading of
Sections 31(1)(2) (3) and 31 ( of the Electoral
Act, the 1st and 2nd defendants are mandatorily
obliged by law to comply strictly with the
provisions laid down under the Electoral Act
vis-a-vis the filing and submission of INEC Form
CF 001, by the 1st defendant attaching evidence
of educational qualifications as required under
the said INEC Form CF 001 and that
noncompliance with this condition inherent
amounts to an offence under Section 31( of
the Electoral Act;
-A declaration that the curriculum vitae and
voters registration card attached by the 1st
defendant in his INEC Form CF 001 and
submitted to the 2nd defendant as a presidential
candidate in 2015 general election is not in
conformity with the form prescribed by the
Electoral Act/INEC Form CF 001 and is
manifestly in contravention of the said Act/INEC
Form CF 001 and therefore null and void;
-An order declaring as invalid the INEC Form CF
001 as filled by the 1st defendant as being
inchoate and manifestly in contravention of the
provisions of the Electoral Act/INEC Form 001 as
the 1st defendant did not comply with a
condition inherent/precedent in the INEC Form
CF 001 submitted to the 2nd defendant, by
failing and/or refusing to attach evidence of his
birth certificate and educational qualifications
which are conditions inherent/precedent as
prescribed in the form;
-A declaration that the 1st defendant is not
eligible to participate in the 2015 Presidential
election for failure to comply with the terms for
submission of list of candidate and affidavit of
personal particulars of persons seeking election
to the office of the president;
-A declaration that the sworn affidavit by the 1st
defendant stating that his original certificates
are presently with the Secretary Military Board
cannot replace and/or satisfy the provision
under INEC Form CF 001 requiring him to attach
evidence of his educational qualification as such
requirement is a condition inherent and a
condition precedent to his eligibility to contest/
participate in the 2015 presidential election;
-An order disqualifying the 1st defendant from
contesting and/or participating in the
presidential election fixed for the 14th February,
2015 or any other date that the 2nd defendant
may fix; and
-An order restraining the 2nd defendant from
permitting the 1st defendant from participating
in the presidential election fixed for 14th
February, 2015 or any other date that the 2nd
defendant may fix.
Mr. Ozoaka also raised eight questions for the
court’s determination. Among the questions are:
-Having regards to the clear, unequivocal and
sacrosanct provisions of Section 31(1), (2), (3)
and (5) of the Electoral Act, Cap 15 Laws of the
Federation of Nigeria, 2010 and INEC Form CF
001 which stipulates the conditions to be
complied with in the submission of list of
candidates and their affidavits to INEC, whether
the 1st defendant herein has complied with the
said law and INEC Form CF 001, when he failed
to attach evidence of his educational
qualifications to the INEC Form CF 001
submitted to the 2nd defendant for the purpose
of the 2015 presidential election.
-Whether the curriculum vitae of the 1st
defendant as attached by the 1st defendant
alongside the affidavit sworn by the 1st
defendant and attached in the INEC Form CF
001 to the 2nd defendant suffices and/or
replaces evidence of the 1st defendant’s
educational qualifications as required by INEC
Form CF 001 and is in accordance with the
prescribed form as stipulated by Sections 31 (1)
of the Electoral Act, Cap 15 LFN, 2010.

APRIL 1990 COUP D'ETAT SPEECH
Fellow Nigerian Citizens,
On behalf of the patriotic and well-meaning peoples of the
Middle Belt and the southern parts of this country, I , Major
Gideon Orkar, wish to happily inform you of the successful
ousting of the dictatorial, corrupt, drug baronish, evil man,
deceitful, homo-sexually-centered, prodigalistic, un-patriotic
administration of General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida. We
have equally commenced their trials for unabated
corruption, mismanagement of national economy, the
murders of Dele Giwa, Major-General Mamman Vasta, with
other officers as there was no attempted coup but mere
intentions that were yet to materialise and other human
rights violations.
The National Guard already in its formative stage is
disbanded with immediate effect. Decrees Number 2 and
46 are hereby abrogated. We wish to emphasise that this is
not just another coup but a well conceived, planned and
executed revolution for the marginalised, oppressed and
enslaved peoples of the Middle Belt and the south with a
view to freeing ourselves and children yet unborn from
eternal slavery and colonisation by a clique of this country.
Our history is replete with numerous and uncontrollable
instances of callous and insensitive dominatory repressive
intrigues by those who think it is their birthright to dominate
till eternity the political and economic privileges of this great
country to the exclusion of the people of the Middle Belt and
the south.
They have almost succeeded in subjugating the Middle Belt
and making them voiceless and now extending same to the
south.
It is our unflinching belief that this quest for domination,
oppression and marginalisation is against the wish of God
and therefore, must be resisted with the vehemence.
Anything that has a beginning must have an end. It will
also suffice here to state that all Nigerians without skeleton
in their cupboards need not to be afraid of this change.
However, those with skeleton in their cupboards have all
reasons to fear, because the time of reckoning has come.
For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state the three
primary reasons why we have decided to oust the satanic
Babangida administration. The reasons are as follows:
(a) To stop Babangida’s desire to cunningly, install himself
as Nigeria’s life president at all costs and by so doing,
retard the progress of this country for life. In order to be
able to achieve this undesirable goals of his, he has
evidently started destroying those groups and sections he
perceived as being able to question his desires.
Examples of groups already neutralised, pitched against
one another or completely destroyed are:
(1) The Sokoto caliphate by installing an unwanted Sultan
to cause division within the hitherto strong Sokoto caliphate.
(2) The destruction of the peoples of Plateau State,
especially the Lantang people, as a balancing force in the
body politics of this country.
(3) The buying of the press by generous monetary favours
and the usage of State Security Service, SSS, as a tool of
terror.
(4) The intent to cow the students by the promulgation of
the draconian decree Number 47.
(5) The cowing of the university teaching and non-teaching
staff by an intended massive purge, using the 150 million
dollar loan as the necessitating factor.
(6) Deliberately withholding funds to the armed forces to
make them ineffective and also crowning his diabolical
scheme through the intended retrenchment of more than
half of the members of the armed forces.
Other pointers that give credence to his desire to become a
life president against the wishes of the people are:
(1) His appointment of himself as a minister of defense, his
putting under his direct control the SSS, his deliberate
manipulation of the transition programme, his introduction
of inconceivable, unrealistic and impossible political options,
his recent fraternisation with other African leaders that have
installed themselves as life presidents and his dogged
determination to create a secret force called the national
guard, independent of the armed forces and the police which
will be answerable to himself alone, both operationally and
administratively.
It is our strong view that this kind of dictatorial desire of
Babangida is unacceptable to Nigerians of the 1990’s, and,
therefore, must be resisted by all.
Another major reason for the change is the need to stop
intrigues, domination and internal colonisation of the
Nigerian state by the so-called chosen few. This, in our
view, has been and is still responsible for 90 percent of the
problems of Nigerians.
This indeed has been the major clog in our wheel of
progress.
This clique has an unabated penchant for domination and
unrivalled fostering of mediocrity and outright detest for
accountability, all put together have been our undoing as a
nation.
This will ever remain our threat if not checked
immediately. It is strongly believed that without the
intrigues perpetrated by this clique and misrule, Nigeria will
have in all ways achieved developmental virtues
comparable to those in Korea, Taiwan, Brazil, India, and
even Japan.
Evidence, therefore, this cancerous dominance has as a
factor constituted by a major and unpardonable clog in the
wheel of progress of the Nigerian state. (Sic) It is suffice to
mention a few distasteful intrigues engineered by this group
of Nigerians in recent past. These are:
(1) The shabby and dishonourable treatment meted on the
longest serving Nigerian general in the person of General
Domkat Bali, who in actual fact had given credibility to the
Babangida administration.
(2) The wholesale hijacking of Babangida’s administration
by the all powerful clique.
(3) The disgraceful and inexplicable removal of
Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe, Professor Tam David-West, Mr.
Aret Adams and so on from office.
(4) The now-pervasive and on-going retrenchment of
Middle Belt and southerners from public offices and their
instant replacement by the favoured class and their
stooges.
(5) The deliberate disruption of the educational culture and
retarding its place to suit the favoured class to the detriment
of other educational minded parts of this country.
(6) The deliberate impoverishment of the peoples from the
Middle Belt and the south, making them working ghosts and
feeding on the formulae of 0-1-1- or 0-0-0 while the
aristocratic class and their stooges are living in absolute
affluence on a daily basis without working for it.
(7) Other countless examples of the exploitative,
oppressive, dirty games of intrigues of its class, where
people and stooges that can best be described by the fact
that even though they contribute very little economically to
the well being of Nigeria, they have over the years served
and presided over the supposedly national wealth derived in
the main from the Middle Belt and the southern part of this
country, while the people from these parts of the country
have been completely deprived from benefiting from the
resources given to them by God.
( The third reason for the change is the need to lay a
strong egalitarian foundation for the real democratic take
off of the Nigerian state or states as they circumstances
may dictate.
In the light of all the above and in recognition of the
negativeness of the aforementioned aristocratic factor, the
overall progress of the Nigerian state a temporary decision
to excise the following states namely, Sokoto, Borno,
Katsina, Kano and Bauchi states from the Federal Republic
of Nigeria comes into effect immediately until the following
conditions are met.
The conditions to be met to necessitate the re-absorption of
the aforementioned states are as following:
(a) To install the rightful heir to the Sultanate, Alhaji
Maccido, who is the people’s choice.
(b) To send a delegation led by the real and recognised
Sultan Alhaji Maccido to the federal government to vouch
that the feudalistic and aristocratic quest for domination and
operation will be a thing of the past and will never be
practised in any part of the Nigeria state.
By the same token, all citizens of the five states already
mentioned are temporarily suspended from all public and
private offices in Middle Belt and southern parts of this
country until the mentioned conditions above are met.
They are also required to move back to their various states
within one week from today. They will, however, be allowed
to return and joint the Federal Republic of Nigeria when the
stipulated conditions are met.
In the same vein, all citizens of the Middle Belt and the
south are required to come back to their various states
pending when the so-called all-in-all Nigerians meet the
conditions that will ensure a united Nigeria. A word is
enough for the wise.
This exercise will not be complete without purging corrupt
public officials and recovering their ill-gotten wealth, since
the days of the oil boom till date. Even in these hard times,
when Nigerians are dying from hunger, trekking many miles
to work for lack of transportation, a few other Nigerians with
complete impunity are living in unbelievable affluence both
inside and outside the country.
We are extremely determined to recover all ill-gotten wealth
back to the public treasury for the use of the masses of our
people. You are all advised to remain calm as there is no
cause for alarm. We are fully in control of the situation as
directed by God. All airports, seaports and borders are
closed forthwith.
The former Armed Forces Ruling Council is now disbanded
and replaced with National Ruling Council to be chaired by
the head of state with other members being a civilian vice-
head of state, service chiefs, inspector general of police,
one representative each from NLC, NUJ, NBA, and NANS.
A curfew is hereby imposed from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. until
further notice. All members of the armed forces and the
police forces are hereby confined to their respective
barracks.
All unlawful and criminal acts by those attempting to cause
chaos will be ruthlessly crushed. Be warned as we are
prepared at all costs to defend the new order.
All radio stations are hereby advised to hook on
permanently to the national network programme until further
notice.
Long live all true patriots of this great country of ours. May
God and Allah through his bountiful mercies bless us all.

David Moyes charged with
misconduct over referee comments


LONDON (AFP) – Manchester United
manager David Moyes was charged with
misconduct by the Football Association on
Friday after criticising match officials after
his side’s defeat by Sunderland on Tuesday.
Moyes said United were “playing referees as
well as the opposition” following a 2-1
League Cup semi-final first leg reverse at
the Stadium of Light on Tuesday, his side’s
third defeat in a row in all competitions.
“Manchester United manager David Moyes
has been charged for misconduct by The FA
in relation to post-match media comments
he made following his side’s game against
Sunderland on Tuesday 7 January 2014,” an
FA statement said.
“It is alleged the comments called into
question the integrity of the match officials
appointed to that fixture and/or appointed
to Manchester United fixtures generally,
and/or implied that such match officials are
motivated by bias; and/or brought the
game into disrepute, in contravention of
Rule E3(1).”
Moyes has until 6pm local time (1800GMT)
on January 15 to respond to the charge.
The Scot questioned the awarding of a free-
kick that led to Sunderland’s opening goal
and a penalty, having already said it was
“scandalous” United were not awarded a
late penalty against Tottenham Hotspur at
Old Trafford.
“I feel we are having to play the opposition
and the referees. We are all just laughing at
them at the minute,” Moyes said Tuesday.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers was fined
£8,000 ($13,177) and warned as to his
conduct on Thursday after admitting a
similar charge.

Rivers CP, known PDP member –
Amaechi

PORT HARCOURT — GOVERNOR Rotimi
Amaechi of Rivers State, yesterday,
described the state Commissioner of Police,
Mr Joseph Mbu as “ a known politician of
the PDP,” noting that he was among those
that wanted to stop the state lawmakers
from performing their legislative functions
in the state.
The governor spoke while assenting the
2014 Appropriation Bill passed by the state
House of Assembly at its sitting in
Government House, Port Harcourt.
*Mbu-Amaechi
He said: “The Commissioner of Police is not
a complete policeman, he is a known PDP
politician, who attends meetings with them
and carries out illegal action. Yesterday, you
were able to assert that democracy is about
people and that when you talk about
democracy, it begins with the legislative
arm of government for the reason that you
represent each unit of our people and you
actually go down to the people.”
Thanking the state lawmakers for the
passage of the bill, the governor said the
initial plan of those he styled ‘our Abuja
brothers’ and the Commissioner of Police in
the state was to stop the passage, adding
that the passage would empower his
administration to effectively provide
dividends of democracy to the people.
“Let me thank the House (of Assembly) for
your action, yesterday. There was the need
to defeat those who wish the state evil and
I am sure the whole state is extremely
pleased with the level of patriotism you
displayed.
“The initial plan of those led by our so-
called ‘Abuja brothers’ and the
Commissioner of Police was to stop you
(lawmakers) from discharging your
legislative functions. I heard that one of
them is telling people that he has been able
to stop the House from sitting and that he
has been able to stop the judiciary from
functioning,” he added.
Leader of the House of Assembly, Mr Chidi
Lloyd, who has been granted bail by the
Police, said the lawmakers were satisfied
with the performance of the governor so far
in the state.
He said: “May I, by leave of Mr. Speaker
(Otelemaba Dan-Amachree) invite Your
Excellency to kindly assent to the 2014
Appropriation Bill, as passed by the Rivers
State House of Assembly. Your Excellency,
we urge you to continue to deliver on the
dividends of good governance as you have
done.”
It will be recalled that Governor Amaechi
had on Tuesday, presented the proposed
2014 budget of N485.524 billion to the
state Assembly, which it passed same day.
The Felix Obuah-led faction of Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, in the state on its
part, had faulted the lawmakers for the
passage of the appropriation bill, describing
the presentation of the bill by the governor
before the lawmakers as criminal. Obuah
said the action of the lawmakers and the
governor was nothing short of impunity,
adding that it destroyed the tenets of
popular democracy.

Obj to the best of my understanding is just exibiting his high level of madness. At his age and status i thick he shoul behave better than this. look at past leaders like IBB, Abdulsalam, Gowon, shagari all northerners can never misbehave like this. this kind of letter shouldent have been writen by him. he has the opportunity to make this country better two time but he did not ultilized it rather he was bussy looking for third term. he should better seal his lips and cover his face in shame

you claim to to need advice abi? prblm is, will you stop opening ur legs for him if u are adviced to? enjoy urself until wen you realise how foolish you are!

The court also ordered the immediate re-
opening of Amigo Supermarket.
Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High
Court, Abuja, on Friday sentenced Talal
Roda, a Lebanese, to life in prison for
illegal possession of firearms.
Mr. Ademola, who gave the verdict in his
judgment, held that Mr. Roda was guilty of
conspiracy to transport, import, sell and
hoard large unlicensed firearms stored at
No.3 Gaya Road, Kano.
Mr. Roda, also accused of being a member
of the Lebanese group, Hezbollah, along
with two of his compatriots, Mustapha
Fawaz and Abdallah Thahini, were charged
with criminal conspiracy and unlawful
importation of prohibited firearms.
They were arrested in May in connection
with a large cache of arms found at the
Gaya Road residence in Kano. Mr. Fawaz is
a co-owner of Abuja’s Amigo Supermarket
and Wonderland Amusement Park.
The judge, however, said the prosecution
failed to prove the allegation of illegal
possession against Messrs Fawaz and
Thahini.
“It is clear from the evidence adduced by
both the prosecution and Roda that he
(Roda) is guilty on count four and nine of
the charge.”
“He did not only reside at No.3 Gaya Road,
Kano, he was in charge of the arm cache,
allegedly managed by Abdulhassan Tahir,
now at large.”
“In this circumstance, Roda is found guilty
of illegal possession which carries life
sentence, while the first and the second
accused persons are freed from this,’’ he
said.
Similarly, the judge dismissed the
declaration sought by the prosecution,
urging the court to hold that Hezbollah was
an International Terrorist Organisation.
Hezbollah is considered by the U.S. and
recently by the EU as a terrorist
organisation. The Lebanese organisation
has both a political arm, which has
representatives in government, and a
military wing.
Justice Ademola said that aspect of the
allegation linking the three accused persons
to a terrorist organisation could not be
proved by the prosecution.
“The Terrorism Protection Act (TPA)
underscores the elements that must be
fulfilled by a group to be declared as a
terrorism organisation.”
“The court is not convinced by the
allegation that Hezbollah is an international
terrorist organisation.”
“This is because Nigeria is signatory to
about 12 international laws on terrorism
and Hezbollah has not been captured in
these statutes as a terrorist organisation.”
“If such law declaring Hezbollah as a
terrorist organisation exists elsewhere, it is
yet to be domesticated and published in a
Federal gazette in Nigeria.”
“I hold that the allegation is baseless and
stand dismissed against the three accused
persons,” he said.
On the allegation that Roda, Fawaz and
Thahini converted Amigo Supermarket and
Wonderland Amusement Park to meeting
points to plan terrorists’ attacks, the judge
said no evidence was adduced by the
prosecution to prove the charge.
Ademola further held that Fawaz, the owner
of the two business outfits located in Abuja,
did not convert his two premises to
terrorists’ haven.
“Fawaz, Amigo Supermarket and the
Wonderland Amusement park are hereby
absolved of all the allegations and are
therefore freed,’’ he said.
On the charge of money laundering
instituted against the second accused
person, Thahini, over non-declaration of
61,170 dollars at the Aminu Kano Airport,
Kano, Mr. Ademola said the prosecution
could not prove the allegation.
“I tend to believe the confessional
statement made by Thahini that he was at
the point of declaring the money before he
was arrested.”
“The security operatives that accosted
Thahini did not do so because of the money
he carried, they only discovered the cash
during his search,’’ he held.
In his consequential order, Mr. Ademola
said that the management of the Prison
Service should immediately release the first
and the second accused persons to enable
them return to their homes.
He further held that Amigo Supermarket
and Wonderland Amusement Park must be
immediately vacated and opened by the
State Security Service or other agents of
government in charge.
Also, Mr. Ademola directed that the sum of
61,170 dollars sized from Mr. Thahini
should be returned to him.
According to him, the impounded firearms
should be forfeited to the Federal
Government.
Earlier, Ahmed Raji, counsel to the accused
persons, pleaded with the court to use its
discretion in sentencing Mr. Roda.
Mr. Raji said the plea was predicated on
the fact that Mr. Roda was a first offender
and had assisted the security operatives
during their investigations.
He further said the convict has a wife,
children and grandchildren to watch over.
However, the judge said that Section 131(1)
of the Terrorism Protection Act under which
the convict was charged, prescribed life
sentence.
“This section of the Act has barred me from
using any discretion in sentencing the
convict,’’ he said.

The court found Tahal Roda, guilty of
terrorism charges.
A Federal High Court in Abuja has
sentenced a Lebanese, Tahal Roda, to life
imprisonment on terrorism charges.
Mr. Roda was charged to court by the
Department of State Security Services, SSS.
The court, however, freed two other
Lebanese, Mustapha Fawaz and Abdullah
Thani, of the charges.
Mr. Fawaz is a co-owner of one of Abuja’s
largest supermarkets, Amigo Supermarket,
and Wonderland Amusement Park, also in
Abuja
Both buildings have been sealed since the
suspects were arrested by the military and
the SSS.
The Court had on October 21 failed to
deliver judgment in the suit, with Justice
Adeniyi Ademola reserving judgement on
the matter after the parties in the case
separately adopted their written addresses.
The Federal Government had dragged the
accused, Mustapha Fawaz, Abdallah Thahani
and Talal Ahmed Rodo, to court over
terrorist activities bordering on illegal
importation of firearms.
The Nigerian military had uncovered heavy
weaponry in a building in Kano allegedly
owned by the Lebanese.
Nigerian authorities subsequently sealed off
two buildings in Abuja, Amigo Supermarket
and Wonderland Amusement Park, also co-
owned by Mr. Fawaz.
The Lebanese were also accused of being
members of Hezbollah, the Lebanon based
group considered a terrorist organisation
by the U.S.
During the trial, Simon Egede, who is the
prosecution counsel, maintained that the
accused persons were guilty of the charges,
especially based on the evidence given by
the witness.
Mr. Egede said that Hezbollah was a
terrorist group and should be treated as
such. He explained that any organization
that was involved in bombing and
destruction was a terrorist organization and
therefore prayed the court to convict the
accused.
Robert Clarke, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria,
SAN, who is the defence counsel, however,
opposed the submission of the prosecution
counsel, saying Hezbollah had not been
pronounced a terrorist organization by the
Nigerian Government.
He said Hezbollah w

christians knows the JESUS CHRIST is a living GOD He is alive with trions of angels at his command why then should we fight for Him. its only when you are not sure of the capability of your God that you will want to defend Him. its when you know that you are serving or reavrrancing a death person as God that you think of take arms on his behalf. infact is a sin as christians to think of Killing a life for God. He is the creator of humanity and He is the only one that has the right to kill.

reasons why christians can not go on ranpages ovrer the brasphemy of Jesus christ.
1. matt: 26: 52-53 Jesus told peter "put your sword back in place because allwho take up a sword will perish by a sword or do you think that i cannot call on my Father and HE will provide Me T once with more than 12 legions of angels?

2. our God is the mighty Man in battle, He said we shold hold on He will fight th battle for us and we shall hold our peace. why then should we christians fight for Him.

3. our GOD
