For example, imagine oil companies who give scholarship and job slot to indigenes of host communities. It means me as Yoruba guy who is resident in such host community can claim to be indigene thereby robbing the real indigenes of job slot that should've originally gone to them. Will members of such host community fold their arms and watch me take their potential job slot? The whole thing is a recipe for chaos waiting to happen except the NJC step in and right the wrong of this judgement.

raumdeuter:
All those agenda to eradicate state of origin and indigeneship always come with agenda. And shouldn't be practiced in a multi ethnic society like Nigeria where suspicion of others have been for centuries.

The same people where you cannot drink beer in his own state and will say respect my state, has relocated to another mans not respecting his own land but want to claim it as well

GOVERNOR ODODO BRIEFS NSA ON ELIMINATION OF TERRORIST KINGPIN BATTIJO, HAILS TINUBU'S SECURITY LEADERSHIP

Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, on Monday visited the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, to formally brief him on the successful operation that led to the elimination of notorious terrorist and bandit kingpin, Kachalla Ibrahim Battijo, in Kogi State.

During the meeting, Governor Ododo gave a detailed account of the intelligence-driven operation that culminated in the neutralization of the criminal leader, describing it as a product of effective collaboration among federal security agencies, local security structures and the Kogi State Government.

The Governor disclosed that highly sophisticated intelligence assets were deployed to monitor the movements and activities of Battijo and his gang, leading to the discovery of their plot to attack and abduct students writing the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination at Government Secondary School, Iluke, in Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area.

Acting swiftly on credible intelligence, the Kogi State Government relocated the students from a vulnerable location to the heart of Iluke town to guarantee their safety while they continued their examinations.

Despite the proactive intervention by government and security agencies, Battijo and his gang launched an attack on the community in a desperate bid to execute their criminal mission. However, troops of the Nigerian military, working in synergy with other security agencies, the Kogi State Vigilante Service and local hunters, successfully repelled the attack. In the fierce gun battle that followed, the notorious bandit kingpin was neutralized, while his criminal network suffered devastating losses.

The operation against the terrorist network did not end with the elimination of Battijo. In a follow-up clearance mission, troops of the Nigerian Army led by the Commander, 12 Brigade, Brigadier General Karim Sidi, successfully exhumed the remains of the slain terrorist leader for further examination and intelligence purposes.

The operation also led to the neutralization of additional members of Battijo's gang who had been hiding around the area following the initial encounter. Security forces had earlier recovered more than fifteen bodies of bandits during clearance operations, underscoring the scale of the victory recorded against the criminal group and confirming the operation as a comprehensive success.

Governor Ododo expressed profound appreciation to the National Security Adviser, the Service Chiefs, the Inspector General of Police and the Director-General of the Department of State Services, for their support and for the gallantry displayed by officers and men deployed to Kogi State.

He particularly commended the courage, patriotism and sacrifice of personnel of the Kogi State Vigilante Service and the Hunters Group, whose local knowledge and commitment contributed significantly to the success of the operation.

The Governor also expressed profound appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his unwavering commitment to strengthening Nigeria's security architecture and providing the leadership required to confront terrorism, banditry and other security threats across the country.

According to the Governor, the successful elimination of Battijo and the sustained gains being recorded against criminal elements across the nation are clear indications that President Tinubu's security initiatives are yielding measurable results.

He called on Nigerians to continue supporting the President and the nation's security institutions, stressing that collective resolve remains essential to making terrorism, banditry and violent criminality relics of the past.

Governor Ododo assured the National Security Adviser that the elimination of Battijo has further strengthened public confidence in the state's security architecture and reinforced the determination of his administration to sustain the offensive against criminal elements.

"Kogi State will never be a safe haven for terrorists, bandits or any criminal group. We will continue to work with federal security agencies to protect our people and ensure that our territory is not used as a launching pad for attacks on neighbouring states," the Governor said.

Responding, the National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, described the elimination of Kachalla Battijo as a major breakthrough in Nigeria's fight against terrorism and banditry.

The NSA, who described Battijo as one of the most dangerous terrorists operating in the country, said his neutralization represents a major milestone in ongoing national efforts to restore peace and security across Nigeria.

He commended Governor Ododo for his commitment, courage and uncompromising resolve in tackling insecurity, noting that the feat demonstrates the effectiveness of strong collaboration between state governments and federal security institutions.

Mallam Ribadu emphasized the strategic importance of Kogi State to Nigeria's security architecture, given its unique position as a gateway state that shares boundaries with nine states and the Federal Capital Territory. He assured the Governor of the continued support of the Federal Government and security agencies in sustaining gains already recorded in the fight against criminality.

The National Security Adviser further noted that the successful operation reflects the effectiveness of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's security reforms and the growing synergy among security institutions under the Renewed Hope Agenda.

Governor Ododo was accompanied on the visit by senior security officials and the State Security Adviser.

The successful elimination of Kachalla Battijo, the recovery of more than fifteen bandits' bodies, the subsequent recovery of the terrorist leader's remains, and the neutralization of additional members of his gang represent one of the most significant counter-terrorism successes recorded in recent times. The achievement underscores the effectiveness of the collaboration between the Federal Government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Kogi State Government under Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo in the ongoing effort to secure lives, protect communities and restore lasting peace across Nigeria.

The appellate court described the development as the highest form of judicial impertinence, stating that the trial judge brazenly disregarded its earlier order.


The panel of justices held that Justice Lifu exhibited judicial rascality by going ahead to hear and make the order despite the order of the Court of Appeal and the pendency of the matter before the court.

It ordered a stay of the execution of the judgment.

The appellate court held that Justice Lifu’s action amounted to an affront to the hierarchy of courts.

It held that the lower court’s action was “the highest form of judicial impertinence”, stressing that the Supreme Court previously held that a judge who acted in such a manner “is unfit for the bench as it amounts to judicial rascality”.


“Courts are enjoined to protect their integrity. This Court has supervisory authority over the trial court. The decision of the lower court to proceed with the judgment despite the express order of this court is a brazen violation of the hierarchy of the court and the 1999 Constitution.
