Education / Nigerian Law School Expels A Student Few Days To His Bar Final Exams (Photo) by TheLawTheLegal: 7:10am On Jul 22, 2017
A University of Ibadan alumnus, Mr. Kayode Bello popularly called ‘Kay Bello’ has been expelled from the Nigerian Law School.
Until the time of his expulsion, Kayode Bello has been a student of the Nigerian Law School, Abuja campus.

The University of Ibadan graduate, who recently concluded the compulsory court attachment programme of the Nigerian Law School has been shown the way out of the Bar programme after a series of face off and encounter between him and the management of the institution The Page Reports.

It should be noted that the final Bar examination for this year comes up on August 15, 2017.

According to one of his colleagues, who spoke under the condition of anonymity, trouble had started for Kay Bello in Law School when he wrote a petition against the management of the Nigeria Law School over what he alleged as poor social welfare conditions.

It was stated that Kay Bello printed fliers and sort to mobilise his colleagues at the Abuja campus of Law school to stand against the management and demand for a better living condition in terms of conducive classrooms and hostel facilities to justify the expensive fees they had paid for the school.

However, It was gathered that after Kay Bello wrote the petition and submitted, the leadership of the Students’ Representatives Council of the Nigerian Law School in a letter to the management disowned him, stating that he was acting solely on his “own volition” and not representing the students’ interest.
We later learnt that he was queried and told to withdraw his petition but Kay Bello refused.

After the conclusion of the court attachment programme, THE PAGE was informed that there was a summary trial but he failed to show up.

In a Phone Call with Online Newspaper THEPAGE, Kay Bello confirmed the expulsion from the Nigerian Law School programme and added that he is currently working on getting a bigger platform to protest his expulsion.

According to him, “It is in connection with the petition. They want me to beg but you know that I will never beg.”

Meanwhile, the management has published a poster containing his expulsion information and pasted around the law school campus.
Another colleague speaking revealed that when Kay Bello was expelled, he refused to leave and was still using the school’s library when security officials had to bundled him out of the institution.

Recall that he was earlier rusticated from the University of Ibadan on April 13, 2010 following his involvement in a protest over hike in school fees in 2008.

Buhari hit them so hard that he personally led soldiers who chased them out of Nigeria, entered Niger and continued chasing them right into the capital of Niger Republic.
Nobody should mention Buhari but you are mentioning Trump? Lol...

Politics / Re: Reno Omokri; The Accidental Media Aide. Reno Taught A Lesson. by TheLawTheLegal: 7:11pm On Jul 03, 2017
DelGardo:
The writer of this article is a complete dolt in the same mould as the Reno he is blasting. Empty vessles.

Spent three pages dancing around his hatred for Buhari without saying what the "monumental" achievements of the ineffectual buffoon were.

He even attacked Jega for conducting fair elections and scoffed at Chibok tragedy, in tandem with them Tanoid wailers, while making snide remarks about Osinbajo for no apparent reason.

Jona is gone and the world is happier for it. Suck it up, you plank.

O di egwu really.

Obviously you didn't understand him. It is evident that the writer affirms that Jonathan was weak and he also attacked Reno for failing to point out infrastructural put in place by Jonathan.
The worst of Jonathan is the best of Buhari.
He made those points to show how Ndigbo were behind Jonathan all through his tenure, but Reno took it upon himself to dance naked in the market by attacking Ndigbo, because of a comment made by Nnamdi kanu in 2014.

He compared Jonathan's weak nature then as vice president to the weakness of Osibanjo now. But an Igbo person, Prof Dora Akunyili, summoned up courage to save the country then. Who in Buharis cabinet can do that now?

You said that JEGA conducted a free and fair election, but pre the election, evidence were presented to Jonathan on how JEGA was working with the opposition. But Jonathan refused to fire him for fear of the outcome. This is weakness.

This is a balanced view.
Politics / Reno Omokri; The Accidental Media Aide. Reno Taught A Lesson. by TheLawTheLegal: 5:31pm On Jul 03, 2017
RENO OMOKRI; THE ACCIDENTAL MEDIA AIDE.
By Charles Ogbu.

I have always maintained that apart from conspiracy from both local and foreign scene against president Goodluck Jonathan, another major reason the Otueke-born Zoologist lost his 2015 presidential re-election bid was not unconnected with the fact that he had one of the most criminally inept and fantastically clueless media aides who were more endowed in tongue than they were in that area meant to house the grey matter known as the brain.

Reno Omokri's recent tirade against Ndigbo confirms this.

An Igbo man and the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu, reportedly granted an interview in 2014 where he said that Jonathan was weak and incompetent as president and the best way Reno Omokri who was GEJ's social media advisor could think to couter the assertion in 2017 was to start hauling invectives at the entire Igbos and listing individual appointments Jonathan gave to them.

In 21st century 2017, a supposed intellectual is listing individual appointments as achievements and even trying to use same to counter the argument that his ex boss was incompetent while in office.

He couldn't mention one monument erected by his boss. He couldn't mention road network or any health or academic centre built for Ndigbo by his boss. All he could point to was individual appointments.
This is a walking shame!

Quite frankly, I should simply pause here and die laughing.... Laughing at a mentally truncated media aide who doesn't know that the best way to counter allegation of incompetence against his boss is by listing infrastructural facilities and other solid achievements built by this boss of his, not by naming individuals who were appointed into govt positions by him.

With this kind of mental miscarriage from Reno Omokri, do we still wonder why the APC propaganda machinery effortlessly swallowed Jonathan's media team and successfully painted him as a president who did nothing all through the 5 years he was in office?

If Mr Omokri cannot marshall out facts and figures to counter a mere allegation of weakness and incompetence levelled against his boss by an individual, how could anyone expect him to have any reasonable response to the web of earthquakic lies and brain-resetting propaganda mounted against Jonathan by the very powerful APC lying machine??

Poor Jonathan! He thought he had a media aide in Reno. How wrong he was!
The tragedy of Reno's situation is that he does not even realise that his failure to list Jonathan's achievements leaves observers with the conclusion that indeed, Jonathan did nothing for Ndigbo.

In this case, who really insulted Jonathan? Is it a private citizen who said his ex president was weak and incompetent, the same thing that has been said by Asari Dokubo, Edwin Clark etc or a former media aide to this president who resorted to hauling invectives at everyone rather than listing the achievements of this president to counter this assertion

In an article titled, "THE LESSON NDIGBO TAUGHT JONATHAN AND FUTURE LEADERS", Omokri stated that Igbos lost the 1967-70 Biafra because they knew nothing about diplomacy which left them without much friends to help them during those trying time. According to him, the fact that no Igbo leader has come out to attack Kanu over the said interview suggests that Kanu's position represents the views of the entire Ndigbo about Jonathan. This, he says, means that the Igbos are ungrateful bunch. In that same article, Mr Omokri categorically stated that Jonathan was the first president to give Igbos the position of Chief of army staff and Secretary to the govt of the federation and as such, Ndigbo should be eternally grateful to him.

As a full blooded Igbo man, I find this criminally offensive. This is a double barreled insult to Ndigbo because 1, what was said is a grave misrepresentation of fact. And 2, because Mr Omokri is the least qualified person to say those things, having himself been implicated in a case of identity theft in Feb. 2014 when he allegedly stole the identity of the son to the wife of his brother-in-law, one U.S based Wendell Simlin, to write an article linking the spike in boko haram bombing to the suspension of the then CBN governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. (A quick Google search will give you the detail)

What moral right does a spineless faceless suspected identity thief have to talk to Ndigbo? If he was man enough, why did he resort to hiding behind a fake identity just to make a mere accusation?

Let's treat the no1:
Igbos owe Jonathan nothing! Absolutely nothing. It is Jonathan who owe Ndigbo everything. We made him!

When the bunch of political terrorists known as the Cabal, prevented the gentleman Jonathan from taking over from the good man, Yar'Adua of the blessed memory, it was an Igbo woman, the late Dora Akunyili, who publicly confronted the Cabal and told all Nigerians that Yar'Adua was incapacitated. Her revelation gave birth to the doctrine of necessity which brought Jonathan to power. Without Akunyili, Yaradua would probably still be running the country by now even from the grave while Jonathan would be sitting quietly the exact way Mr Buhari is currently running Nigeria from the land of the WhiteWalkers with Osinbajo sitting quietly like an Arsenal fan when his club is facing a 5-0 defeat in the hands of ManU.

We gave Jonathan everything we had in 2011. We even died for him in the North in large numbers. Our support for him was 100%. Even when Jonathan bashing became the order of the day sometime last year, Ndigbo rose to the occasion and defended him even against some of his own people.

In 11th August 2016, I Charles Ogbu, wrote a fact-studded piece titled "IN DEFENCE OF PRESIDENT JONATHAN" published in the Guardian Newspaper which attracted a rejoinder from the presidency titled "IN DEFENCE OF PRESIDENT BUHARI, IS THIS THE CHANGE WE VOTED FOR? YES, IT IS" written by president Buhari's senior media aide, Garba Shehu to which I again responded with "IN DEFENCE OF THE MASSES, THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT THE CHANGE WE VOTED FOR".

When I was doing this verbal gymnastics with the highest office in the land over a Jonathan whom I have never met, where was Reno Omokri then? He was hiding somewhere in the U.S, too afraid to write anything in Jonathan's defence. Now that the monumental disaster, Buhari, has been declared incapacitated, Reno is running his mouth. How convenient!

Our support for Jonathan was driven by a sense of justice, fairness and equity coupled with the fact that his opponent has always been a hopeless murderous ethnic jingoist with generational hatred for Ndigbo.

Why should we now sit back and allow an integrity-challenged Reno Omokri a.k.a Wendell Simlin disparage us for no just cause??

Why did Omokri not denigrate the entire Fulanis when El-rufai and numberless Fulanis made sport of demonizing Jonathan at every turn?

Asari Dokubo, Edwin Clark, Seriake Dickson have all described Jonathan as weak, yet, Omokri neither attacked those people nor their ethnic groups. Why?

Why does he now think he can attack the whole Igbo race simply because one Igbo man purpotedly chose to criticise his ex president?

Saying that a former president was weak and incompetent, is that an insult?
Frankly, I don't get this! Is Reno such a bad user of the Queen's language that he no longer understand that "weak" and "incompetence" are but mere adjectives naming an attribute of a noun?

So far, Goodluck Jonathan remains the best president Nigeria ever had. His worst remains better than the best of Buhari. Is this even debatable? He was and still is, a perfect gentleman. Matter of fact, I belong to the school of thought which believes that Nigeria was and still is, too primitive for people like Jonathan to preside over.

But was he weak as president??
Keep sentiment at home let's find out the answer.

Several months before 2015 election, Jonathan was presented with credible evidence of the treacherous ways of Attahiru Jega, the man he appointed INEC boss but he did nothing! He chose to allow JEGA continue as INEC boss because he felt he (GEJ) couldn't withstand the pressure JEGA's sack would bring him.
That was weakness! Jonathan's failure to sack Jega was the height of weakness on his part.

#ChibokGirlsSaga remains unresolved till today mainly because Jonathan bowed to foreign pressure and admitted it happened even after his govt had earlier dismissed it as a scam. If GEJ hadn't bowed to pressure, he would have simply arrested that woman Principal of Chibok school and within hours of questioning, she would have spilled the beans.

GEJ showed weakness by allowing many people including Buhari to undermine his govt.

Are we really gonna waste our time arguing this obvious fact?
Now, let's visit the dictionary:
The term "Weak" is an adjective and it means "liable to break or yield under pressure" among other meanings.
So I ask again, was Jonathan weak as president? In the Nigerian context, the answer is YES! Refer to the above instances I just listed out.

What then is the problem here?
Even if we lie to ourselves, how can we descend to the level of believing our own lies as the gospel truth?

My father, the late Emmanuel Nwodo Ogbu Nwachima, once allowed my uncle to take possession of our piece of land on the ground that he didn't want to make trouble with his brother. To me, that was him being a peaceful man but it also portrayed him as weak.

I remember my father as a good man but each time I see my uncle's children on that land, I think my dad weak. Context is of utmost importance here.

May I remind Reno Omokri that before Jonathan, two Igbo sons, Alex Ekwueme and Ebitu Ukiwe have held the position of both civilian and military vice presidents respectively. Allison Madueke has equally held a very high position in the military. So why should we be grateful for getting individual appointments of army chief and SGF even after paying with our blood in the North and are still being victimized by the present govt over our support for Jonathan?

Reno Omokri and co need to realise that those who live in glass houses should be wise enough not to start throwing stones around.

As far as Jonathan is concerned, what Ndigbo deserve from Reno and Co is gratitude, not attitude.

ItsMeAboki:
Nonsense, even if we are to assume the Arewa youth's historical narratives were incorrect, it still doesn't change the fact that Igbos are now persona non grata and therefore not wanted in the north.

Instead of wasting time arguing over these irrelevant details why not submit your formal request for secession to the FG and the Senate through your representatives - so that Arewa youths through their representatives would likewise back you?
How do you expect to break away without submitting any request to the right authority, instead of gathering on the sidelines and chest beating, breathing fire and brimstone - are you guys really serious?

As for the issue of properties; there will be many options opened to the new government of the day, ranging from punitive taxation to outright nationalisation - wait and watch what happens when we cross that bridge.

Why will you assume that it is incorrect? The letter has set the records right. Kaduna Nzeogwu is from Delta state, but some of you will claim that Delta state is not Igbo, yet you term the first coup an Igbo coup. I do not know what is wrong with you guys.

Igbos can not be declared persona non grata in a country that still uses their resources to fund the unproductive north. Allow for division and after the division, you can now drive them out of the north.

Let us even assume without conceding that a formal request hasn't been to the national assembly or whatever, in revolution, you do not request from the entity you are revolting against to grant you your wish.

Since Igbos started their agitation, they haven't issued any ultimatum to non Igbos to leave Igbo land, not until these Arewa Youths issued theirs.

Politics / Biafra: An Open Letter To Arewa Youths By An Igbo Youth. by TheLawTheLegal: 7:51pm On Jun 23, 2017
By Charles Ogbu.

Brethren from the North,
I bring you greetings from the Southern part of Nigeria.

On behalf of the peace-loving people of the south in general and millions of Igbo youths in particular, I start this letter by commending you for your recent open letter to the acting president, professor Yemi Osinbajo, where you called on the pastor-turned politician to organise a Referendum for the Igbos to enable them determine their future in line with international law on self determination.

By that letter, you proved to be better versed and more sophisticated in legal matters and ways of international laws with regards to the right of Indigenous People on Self Determination than the acting President who ironically is a law professor but who happen to think that quest for self determination is a crime simply because the fraudulent document known as the 1999 constitution imposed on us by military thugs did not recognise it.

Having said these, let me come to the main reason why I'm here. In your letter to the Ag. President, I noticed what I've been trying to figure out whether to classify as an innocent amnesia-induced oversight or a calculated attempt to re-write history on your part.

You cited the January 15th coup which you mischievously tagged Igbo coup and claimed was the Igbos manifesting their hatred for Nigeria. Quite frankly, when I read that part, I was left wondering whether to pause and die laughing or die crying.

You and your kind invented the word "hatred" and even went further to prove that indeed, it is not just a word. You started manifesting hatred for other Nigerians as far back as 1945 when your kind butchered hundreds of innocent southerners mostly Igbos in North central Nigerian city of Jos in an anti-Igbo pogrom, 15 years before Nigeria even got her independence from Britain.

And of course, your Vampiric spirit would later rise again in search of more Igbo blood in 1953 when your people carried out another anti-Igbo pogrom in Kano which resulted in another hundreds of Igbo lives being wasted once again. This time, all you needed to start doing what you know how best to do was a minor legislative disagreement at the Lagos parliament where your lawmakers were booed for trying to delay a motion for Nigeria's independence by claiming the North wasn't yet ready for self rule.

Isn't it a classic definition of irony that a people who started doing exceptionally well in the business of killing and maiming their fellow Nigerians as far back as 1945 when Nigeria had not even dreamt of gaining independence would now open their mouth and accuse others of manifesting "hatred for Nigeria unity"? If you ever believed in the so called Nigeria's unity, why kill and maim your fellow Nigerians for the flimsiest of excuses??

Secondly, the January 1966 coup was not an Igbo coup. It was a coup carried out by mostly junior army officers led by Major Kaduna Chukwuma Nzeogwu and it had soldiers from Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa/fulani, Tiv, Esan, Ijaw, Urhobo, Bali etc on board. Hassan Usman Katsina, an hausa/fulani, who was later made military governor of Northern region, was Nzeogwu's right hand man and a major participant all through the period of the coup. Major Adewale Ademoyega, the author of "Why We Struck" was of the same rank as Nzeogwu. He was an active participant in the coup. There were major Ifeajuna, Lt. Fola Oyewole of "The Reluctant Rebel", Lt. Tijani Katsina and Saleh Dambo who were both hausa/fulani, there was Lt. Hope Harris Egheagha among other Igbos.

And that same coup was foiled by two brave Igbo men, Aguyi Ironsi in Lagos (West) and Ojukwu in Kano (North).

Now, assuming WITHOUT CONCEDING that the January 15th coup was organized and executed by only Igbo army officers, does it not still amount to conscientious idiocy for you guys to blame the whole Igbo nation for a coup carried out by few military men from the region?? How can anyone seek to justify the savagery visited on defenceless Igbo men, women and children residing in the North in the aftermath of that coup?? Did Nzeogwu who was from Delta state consult the indigens of the state before leading that coup?

How come we don't blame Dimka's coup on his ethnic group neither do we blame IBB and Buhari's coup on the whole hausa/Fulanis?

Let me quickly remind you that in the evening of the January 15th coup, a Boeing 707 belonging to the Nigerian Airways arrived Kano with almost the whole Northern establishment back from Lagos where they had gone to attend Commonwealth Prime Ministers' conference. Ojukwu, it was, who received them at the airport and even when orders from the coup plotters were to shot all Politicians, Ojukwu gifted them with protection. I don't suppose you would like this kind of history, seeing as it seem to contradict the adulterated version you were groomed with.

In the said letter, you correctly stated that Ojukwu refused to recognize Gowon but you mischievously failed to state that Ojukwu's refusal to recognise Gowon was in protest over the refusal of the hausa/fulani military officers who killed the head of state, Aguyi Ironsi, to allow Brigadier Ogundipe to take over as the next in rank according to military tradition.

Still in that same letter, you stated that Ojukwu declared Biafra but you conveniently failed to tell the public that Ojukwu didn't just wake up in the morning, smoke his Benson cigarette and rushed to declare Biafra. He (Ojukwu) did his best to de-escalate tension and even succeeded in reaching a landmark accord with Gowon in Aburi, Ghana, which if implemented, would have put an end to the Igbo genocide going on in the North and averted the moral tragedy that was the Biafra war. But, Gowon, unilaterally chose to defy the terms of this last minute Aburi Accord, leaving the Oxford product, Ojukwu, with no choice but to pull his people out of a country that was and still is, deaf, dumb and blind to the sanctity of the lives of the same people it exists mainly to protect.

Let me quickly say this not just to you, The Arewa Youths but to all Nigerians and foreigners alike:
This current Biafra agitation IS NOT a bait for Igbo presidency, Restructuring or appointments. Any Igbo man thinking it is should simply go for a DNA test to ascertain not just his paternity but his ancestry, too.

My generation is simply sick and tired of sharing the same country with people who derive enormous pleasure from killing their fellow human beings over the flimsiest of excuses like the burning of the Koran in a far away Afghanistan, the shooting of a Palestinian boy by a murderous Israeli soldier in Gaza, the drawing of the cartoon of Prophet Muhammad in far away Denmark by a cartoonist who is neither Igbo nor Nigerian.

Igbo youths are not aggrieved with Nigeria solely because their parents were massacred in the Biafra war. We are aggrieved because almost 50 years after the war, the same people who killed our parents are still killing us even in our homes using fulani herdsmen, in our churches and cities using hausa/fulani soldiers who kill us and bath us with acid, and our places of business using almajiris who slaughter us and burn our shops with state-sponsored impunity for no just cause other than the insatiable urge to spill blood.

My fellow youths, we have lied to ourselves for far too long. How about a little honesty here? All these killings points to one thing which is that our world views are world apart. While you delight in resorting to violence as solution to almost every disagreement, we, the Igbos and indeed, all southerners have serious aversion to bloodshed. It is our belief that our God fight for us, not the other way round.

I love the concluding part of your letter where you rightly asserted that the Biafra agitation is not an issue over which a single drop of blood should be shed. We agree completely. We have all advanced beyond the primitive era of war. We are not asking for war. We are only asking for a YES or NO vote known as Referendum. Now, my dear brethren, add a little work to your faith by prevailing on your leaders who control every facet of the Nigerian govt to allow for a Plebiscite for the Igbos. After they have voted and the YES vote carries the day, you can then give Igbos living in your region whatever condition under which you want them to live if they still want to continue living in your midst.

Dishing out quit notice to Igbos residing in your region when they are yet to be officially granted their referendum and Biafra is only tantamount to putting the cart before the horse. Until the Igbos officially get their Biafra, they remain Nigerians with all the right and privileges of Nigerian citizens including the right of living and doing business anywhere in Nigeria.

Lastly, let me conclude by reminding you that even in the event of a successful referendum for Biafra, all property legally acquired by the Igbos anywhere in Nigeria remain theirs and are protected by international law. Nigerians did not loose their property in Britain when the latter granted her independence in 1960, did they?? The world has progressed considerably. I would remind you that the 'abandoned property' era is over but I'm sure you know that, don't you??

Instead of killing ourselves and creating IDPs everywhere, let us peacefully do "To Your Tent, Oh, Israel!". That way, we will still do things together but as good neighbours under a mutually agreed terms.

Love From A Biafran,

Charles Ogbu

lalasticlala.

But with this present Bill sponsored by Senator Stella Oduah, the program may start serving a little purpose.

Buying and selling of cryptocurrencies and e currencies from the comfort of your room. No overhead costs like transportation or shop rents. However like any other buisness, there are inherent risks.... Shine your eyes and research well.... With 50k-100k, you are good to go... And it can also serve as a very good side biz.. Students, teachers, civil servants etc can go into it

please what are the inherent risks.

must you add adjective (dangote truck) to your sentence? undecided

Is that not the proper adjective?

When it involves Peace Mass Transit Bus, don't you hear them say Peace Bus?

Instead of you to sympathize with the victims, you are here talking rubbish.

Crime / The Apo6 And The Tragedy That Is Nigeria. By Charles Ogbu. by TheLawTheLegal: 9:53am On Mar 12, 2017
Nothing captures the criminal entity that Nigeria has since become better than the case of the 6 Igbo traders killed in Apo, a satellite town in Abuja on June 2005. If you want to have an indept understanding of the mindset of the organised crime family we call the Nigeria Police Force, just pay close attention to the case of the APO6.


According to the proceedings at the criminal trial, the Apo6 --Ekene Isaac Mgbe, Ifeanyin Ozor, Chinedu Meniru, Paulinus Ogbonna, Anthony and Augustina Arebu-- were at a nightclub somewhere in Area 11, the same FCT, when Deputy Police commissioner, Danjuma Ibrahim made sexual advances at Augustine who returned a negative response. Officer Danjuma was said to have drove to a nearby police checkpoint where he told policemen there to be battle-ready to confront a group of armed robbers in the area. When the APO6 got to the police checkpoint in their car, Officer Danjuma was said to have drove into them and ordered his men to shoot. Four of the APO6 were forcefully re-united with their ancestors right there on the spot while Ifeanyin and Augustina were taken to Garriki police station where DPO Abdulsalam Othman served as the Lord of the Manor.


The next day, the duo of Ifeanyin and Augustina were taken to some place outside town where they were executed. The lady was strangled by DCP Danjuma Ibrahim, according to the testimony of the police witnesses at the criminal trial.
Just for saying "No" to the sexual overtures of a randy police officer, lady Augustina and the other 5 Igbo traders were gruesomely murdered by the police that is being paid to protect them!


If you think killing these Igbo traders was all that the murderous bunch that is the Nigerian police did, you better think again because even after killing them, these uniformed butchers connived with their armourer and planted weapons on the bodies of these Igbo traders and brought a photographer, one Chukwu Chukwudi to take their pictures which they (the police) displayed for all to see with intent to convince the public that the APO6 were armed robbers.


It took a public outcry and demonstration by Igbo traders in APO to force the then govt of President of Olusegun Obasanjo to order a public hearing into this heinous crime. It was during the hearing that some police officers broke ranks and told the panel how Danjuma Ibrahim masterminded the killing. The Garriki police station chief armourer equally confessed that the weapons found on the accused were planted. Two of the accused policemen equally admitted shooting two of the APO6 on the orders of Deputy commissioner Danjuma Ibrahim.


Now here is what will make you die crying:
When the matter went on trial, the chief culprit, Deputy commissioner Danjuma Ibrahim who ordered the shooting of the APO6 and even strangled Augustina for rejecting his advances at the nightclub, was released on what the court called "exceptional and special medical bail" in August 2006, less than one year into the trial. The DPO at the Garriki police station, Abdulsalam Othman who supervised the barbarism disappeared from the 5th floor of Louis Edet house (force headquarters) where he was detained. According to the testimony of the police, officer Othman went for prayers and never came back. Case closed! Till today.


A suspect in a high profile murder trial was allowed to go to the mosque to pray without any form of surveillance or monitoring. Only in Nigeria!
Just last Thursday, Justice Ishaq Bello of Abuja high court discharged and acquitted both Deputy Police commissioner Danjuma Ibrahim who ordered the killings and Abdulsalam Othman who supervised it all and even planted weapons on the APO6 as the DPO Garriki police station, according to the testimony of police officers who testified at the criminal trial. The reason the judge gave was that there was no sufficient evidence that the duo were guilty in the killing of the APO6.


Meanwhile, the same Judge convicted the two junior officers who admitted in their statement that they shot two of the APO6 on the orders of senior officer Danjuma Ibrahim who fed them the info that the APO6 were armed robbers after the only lady among them have turned down his advances.


As I type this, officers Danjuma Ibrahim and Abdulsalam Othman yet roam the earth as free men, breathing free air and unleashing more savagery on humanity.
Quite frankly, I am finding it increasingly difficult and almost impossible to retain my sanity here.


How do some of you look at grave injustices such as this one and just move on as though its nothing?? How do you people do it?
To some of you that are still patriotic to the Nigerian state, pray tell, how do you pull off such feat?


How do you retain allegiance, loyalty and patriotism to a murderous entity that is not only deaf, dumb and blind to the sanctity of the lives of the human person but seemingly derive some sort of orgasm in killing the same citizens it exists solely to protect?


How do you people open your teeth and smile at a police force that murders her own citizens and even plant weapon on them to cover up the crime simply because a lady said 'No' to the advances of a randy senior police officer??


Of what use is the law when it is to be enforced by an organised criminal gang such as the Nigerian Police which delight in killing the same people they are meant to protect over such a flimsy excuse as saying 'No' to a sex request from a police officer??


If there is something that grieves me beyond words, it is sharing not just the same human trait but the same geographical space as these uniformed criminals.


Being born a Nigerian and having to live in Nigeria is among the worst thing that could happen to anyone.


After 12 years of legal battle which saw witnesses disappearing under strange circumstances, only two junior police men out of the six police officers involved were convicted for shooting two of the APO6 on the orders of Deputy police commissioner Danjuma Ibrahim while the Danjuma Ibrahim who ordered the killing and the Garriki police DPO, Abdulsalam Othman who supervised it all were discharged and acquitted.


Who then, killed the other APO4? Spirits, maybe. Why convict a junior police officer for obeying the orders of his superior to shoot innocent people while turning a blind eye to the superior officer who issued the order?
