OWERRI — The identity and
whereabouts of the Mercedes Benz
200 saloon car driver that allegedly
rammed into the staff car of Imo State
governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha, has
remained a mystery. Imo State Commissioner of Police, Mr.
Mohammed Katsina, did not help
matter, yesterday, when he was asked
to give details of the road traffic crash
involving Chief Okorocha and the
Mercedes Benz driver. Mr. Katsina only reaffirmed that there
was a head-on collision between the
governor’s staff car and a yellow
Mercedes Benz 200 flat booth, adding
that the driver did not sustain any
injury. The Imo police boss, however, failed
to say if the driver of the said
Mercedes Benz car was arrested at any
point and if he was still in their
custody or not. “The police is investigating the
incident and when we are through
with it, the public would be informed
of our findings,” the police
commissioner said. Vanguard recalls that Governor
Okorocha, who is now receiving
medical attention in a London
hospital, was involved in a road traffic
crash last Friday, along the ever busy
Owerri-Orlu federal highway.

true talk @ sincere nja

As you read this, President Goodluck
Jonathan may be on the verge of
granting amnesty to the Boko Haram
insurgent group at the behest of the
Northern Elders Forum (NEF), who met
with him during the week to discuss this sensitive issue. Advocates of amnesty for Boko Haram
are pointing to the Niger Delta
precedent to justify this call which is
clearly symptomatic of the frustration
of the governing elite in the face of a
stalemated war that has no borders, or a specific target or a discernible,
civilised objective. Other than the
abolition of western education and
the imposition of Sharia in the North,
the group isn’t saying anything
worthwhile; even these demands are as idiotic as they are unreasonable.
How do we begin to turn back the
clock of civilisation because of a few
misguided armed marabouts? Amnesty, meanwhile, seems an easy
way out of a crisis that appears to be
turning gradually into a quagmire like
is the case of Afghanistan, Pakistan
and Iraq where living with terror has
become a way of life. It was once a virtual impossibility to imagine that
Nigerians would be living with terror,
but that, for us, is now a terrifying
reality. And the ruling elite have
themselves to blame for this
embarrassing war. There’s no shred of evidence that the
Jonathan administration, despite its
lackadaisical approach, is not doing
its best in the fight against terrorism
and other violent crimes. The
escalation of violence of all shades- armed robberies, kidnappings, ritual
killings, domestic violence, face book-
related attacks and terrorism, is a
clear indication that its best efforts
are not enough. It is time to change
gear. How this insidious evil became a murderous terror machine, that it is
today under our eyes, is a question the
nation’s ruling elite is unable to
answer; the option of a general
amnesty may be a vivid testimony of
the growing exasperation of the elite with an evil it birthed but could no
longer control. Since the Boko Haram insurgent group
declared war against the country
under the Yar’Adua administration,
government has responded, using
conventional methods to contain an
unusual enemy which operates by the unconventional methods of urban
guerrilla warfare. In trying to nip it in
the bud at the initial stage of the
crisis, he police allegedly killed the
acknowledged leader of the group,
Yusuf Foi, an ex-commissioner in Borno State. That’s one of the main
grudges of Boko Haram and it is
believed that the summary execution
of Foi actually removed the lid from
the tinder box. Since the elimination of the leader,
the group has splintered into different
dangerous factions under faceless
leaders with varying and conflicting
agendas, but all united under the
banner of political Sharia. Today, having developed into a well – funded
international terror organisation, we
have no idea who controls which of its
various tentacles, but one thing is
certain: Boko Haram has managed to
hook up with Al- Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, AQIM, with dire implications
for the security of the sub-Sahara,
apart from Nigeria. With Boko Haram so fragmented and
dangerously polarised along
ideological, theological and political
divides, including some criminal
elements here and there, it has
become a loose cannon that threatens everybody but themselves. Running an
unprecedented violent campaign first,
against internal rivals, then the police
for an alleged injustice and now
against everyone in sight, Boko Haram
is the biggest agent of destabilization in the country apart from corruption in
high places. Now, the argument for Boko Haram’s
amnesty cannot stand on the logic of
the one granted to the Niger Delta
militants because both armed groups
may have levied war against their
country, Nigeria, their individual motives and corporate objectives are
as different as their tactics and
targets. Boko Haram turned their guns
against innocent worshippers mostly
in churches, and a few mosques,
bombed police and military targets and caused massive blood bathe
through their reckless attacks on
public buildings, residential districts,
public and major business outlets, and
industrial installations. Generally, Boko Haram is a vampire on
the loose whose objective is not just
to Islamise Nigeria, but to rid it totally
of western influence. The group is now
present in every part of Nigeria,
getting set for a bloody campaign down South. Talk about a bull in a
China shop! In contrast, the Niger Delta militants
are environmental activists and armed
campaigners for economic justice for
the alienated people of the Delta
region, whose lands have been
destroyed by decades of oil exploration without any visible
positive impact on the people’s
welfare. The wild boys of Niger Delta never
threatened those outside the realm of
their agitation. They didn’t bring
religious or tribal sentiments into
their campaign or align with foreign
terror groups to levy war against their own people to attain some mindless,
esoteric objectives. The Niger Delta amnesty cannot
possibly be a template any more than
the pardon of Abacha’s coupist
justifies Alameyesiegha’s clemency.
Boko Haram and the Niger Delta
militants are two of a kind but unique in their different colourations. We
knew and still know who the Delta
militants are; but we don’t know the
faces behind Boko Haram. That is why
the government is unable to negotiate
with them. Nobody can justify an amnesty for a
group that is not committed to
dialogue. If Boko Haram’s body
language speaks of peace, the Federal
Government, tired of battle with the
recalcitrant Islamic militants, would have no choice than to bring amnesty
as a bait on the table. Amnesty is justifiable under an
atmosphere of jaw-jaw or during a
carrot and stick situation, not when
one side to the conflict is invisible,
implacable and unwilling to accept
anything but its own terms, which in the case of Boko Haram, cannot stand
on any civilised logic. Nevertheless if the northern leaders
strongly believe amnesty is a way out
at this stage, it is worth giving a try.
However, beyond clamouring for
amnesty for the terror group, the NEF
must give some form of assurance that it would actively participate in
enforcing the peace we all expect.

Auto-crash: Okorocha’s life not threatened – London doctor

OWERRI — A London hospital currently treating injured Imo State governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha, who was involved in a near ghastly road traffic crash, weekend, has eliminated any trace of threat to his life.

Confirming the situation in a telephone interview, the Commissioner for Information, Strategy, Culture and Tourism, Mr. Chinedu Offor, affirmed that Okorocha was rushed to the London hospital for further medical assessment and attention.

“It is true that the Governor had a head injury that arose from the automobile accident but the head scan ordered by the medical experts in the London hospital has proved he had no fracture of the skull,” Mr. Offor said.

According to the commissioner, the head scan also showed the governor had no internal bleeding or any problem with his brain, eyes and other relevant organs of his body.

“The head scan showed the Governor had no internal bleeding. He has no problem with his brain, eyes and other organs of his body. His head is a bit sore,” Offor said.

Asked if Chief Okorocha would resume official duties in Owerri, the commissioner said: “For now, his doctors only asked him to continue his treatment as an out-patient; he will only come back when his doctors give him a clean bill of health.”

lack of humility

If it was in Nigeria, Nigeria could have set up a panel to investigate the matter and submit a report in 2 weeks time

A Lagos-based couple, two weeks
ago, got what they did not bargain for
when an Ikeja Magistrate’s Court
ordered the remand of their 7-year-
old ward (name withheld) at the Child
Correctional Center, Yaba, while the only suspect in police custody was
granted bail. The victim was allegedly raped
several times by three men: Kassim
Mohammed, 43, Oluwatobi Daramola
and James Aniekan. The Magistrate, Mrs E. B Daudu of an
Ikeja Magistrate court granted the
application of the police prosecutor
identified as Anthonia for the rape
victim to be remanded in the Child
Correctional Center because her guardians could not take proper care
of her, which made her vulnerable to
sexual assault. The Magistrate however, released
one of the suspects, Tobi, on bail. It
took the kind intervention of the
Deputy Chief Registrar of the Lagos
High Court, Mr A.O. Isaacs for the
Magistrate to temper justice with mercy by releasing the victim to her
guardians after spending nearly the
whole day at the correctional center. According to the little girl, the police
prosecutor, Anthonia, whom she
described as the ‘fat woman’
accompanied her to the remand home
and threatened that her people would
not see her again. The little girl said that she was shown a cell with no
windows at the Correctional Centre,
and she was threatened that she
would be locked there for five days. Mohammed, Daramola and Aniekan
were said to have allegedly defiled
the little girl serially between July
2012 and January 2013. Daramola
and Aniekan, were said to be about
21 and 19 years old respectively although, they claimed to be 17. The victim’s ordeal in the hands of
the suspects, started when she was
only 6 years old. Two of the suspects,
Daramola and Aniekan were
arraigned at a magistrate’s court in
Lagos for alleged defilement. The arraignment of Daramola, was held
weeks before that of Aniekan. Tobi
was arraigned on a one- count charge
of unlawful sexual intercourse with
the hapless little girl. The charge
sheet reads;
“That you
Daramola
Oluwatobi ‘m’
between July 2012 and
January 13,
2013 at Idowu
Egba, Ikotun,
Lagos in Lagos
Magisterial District had sexual intercourse with
one girl “f” aged 7 years and thereby
committed an offense punishable
under section 137 of the Criminal Law
of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2011.” The victim who lives with her aunt
and her husband at 2, Oladipo Close,
off Lawani Ogunle Street, Greenland
Estate, Isheri area of Lagos, narrated
what she had suffered in the hands of
the men. “My uncle (her aunt’s husband) and I
were going to the shop. Tobi saw us.
He then greeted my uncle. I also
greeted him. The next day, my uncle
told me to stay at home, eat and do
my home work. My uncle said he would be back at home very soon that
he wanted to go and collect money
from his shop. “When I went downstairs to buy
biscuit, Tobi saw me. He greeted me
and said, “Fine girl, how are you?’ I
said ‘fine.” He asked if he could buy
me anything and he bought gala and
a bottle of coca-cola. He then asked me to show him our house, which I
did and later when I was in bed and
about to sleep, Tobi came into our
house. He played football with me
and left. “The next day, Tobi, James and one
small boy came. They put their fingers
inside my bum-bum (that is they
thrust their fingers into her private
part). The next day, Tobi and James
came again without the small boy. They now put their wee-wee(penis)
inside my bum-bum(private part).
Another day again Tobi came with
Kassim, Kassim was holding a knife
and a pack of Five-Alive and gala. ”Tobi left but Kassim used his wee-
wee on me. He said that if I shout he
would kill me with the knife. When
Kassim had finished, he said I should
show him my bathroom. I showed
him and he bathed. After bathing, he said I should bring a glass cup. He
shared the five-alive. He gave me four
rolls of gala while he took two. He
told me to throw the empty pack of
five-alive into the dustbin. Kassim
left after he had made sure that I discarded the empty pack of the juice
into the dustbin.” The victim who has gotten used to
being violated sexually every day was
relieved temporarily as she escaped
being abused the next day by the
suspects, as she went on holiday.
“The next day, I did not see Kassim because I went to my aunt’s sister’s
place at Igando on holiday.” It was however a temporary relief for
her because the sexual assault
continued when she came back from
the holiday. ”When I came back from aunt’s
sister’s place. I was sent on errand by
my aunt. On my way, I met Kassim
who asked after my uncle and aunt. I
told him they were around. Kassim
now said that I should enter his house. The next day I wanted to go
and buy biscuit for Chibuike my little
brother (the aunt’s son), Tobi saw me
and asked that I should follow him to
his house. He threatened that if I
refused, he would make sure I got lost and so would not see my parents
again. “I followed him out of fear while
carrying my two-year old cousin
along. Tobi defiled me once again
using his male sex organ. When he
finished, he told me to go and bathe in
his bathroom, but I left with my brother to buy the biscuit. My aunt
asked me why I came back late. I told
her that there were many people that
wanted to buy things from the Mallam
(the man selling provisions). I did not
report all these things to my aunt and her husband because Kassim
threatened to deal with me if I
mentioned his name.” MD Abubakar, Police IG Narrating her own side of the story,
the victim’s aunt simply called, Ngozi,
said when the ordeal of her little
niece started, she was in Abuja where
she went to give birth. She said she
was in Abuja between June and August last year, and even had to
return to Abuja for medical attention
because she developed complications
after she had given birth through
Cesarian operation. While she was
away, she said the victim was left in the care of her husband and a cousin. She said it was in January this year,
while she was going through the little
girl’s clothes that she discovered that
two of the little girl’s under wears
had blood stains, then she suspected
that something was amiss. She then persuaded her neice until she told her
about James who worked in a
barber’s shop nearby. She said the
little girl also told her that James
defiled her and threatened to deal
with her if she revealed what he had done to her. She said, “Immediately, I called my
pastor and told him what happened.
He called one of the members of our
church who is a policewoman. The
woman said I had to come down to
Ikotun Police Station to officially report.” After the police had
interviewed the girl, they got James
arrested. The father of James was
trying to defend his son that he could
not have defiled the girl since he, the
father, is a pastor. However, James was detained and arraigned before
an Ikeja Magistrate’s Court, where he
was granted bail. According to Ngozi, James confessed
that he did it. He, according to her,
even wrote a confessional statement
at the police station. But James’s
father allegedly maintained that he
made the statement under duress. Unfortunately, while this was going
on, her guardians did not know that
she had been raped several times by
more than one person. ”It was two
weeks later that we discovered that
there were others. I heard my two- year old son ordering the girl to lie
down in bed. I wondered how a two-
year old boy could talk like that. So, I
asked her where the boy learnt that. “She was just staring at me. I insisted
that she answers me. It was then she
told me it was one Tobi that said that
to her and that the little boy was
present when he did that. I started
shouting and asked if the boy was watching as Tobi defiled her. She said
yes that Tobi ordered him to look at
the dressing mirror in his room, she
told me about Tobi and Kassim.” However, Ngozi said the police were
reluctant to arrest the suspects stating
that Tobi’s parents went as far as
alleging that she wanted to extort
money from them while Kassim’s
wife claimed that her husband was not in Lagos. According to Ngozi, the police were
no longer working in our interest
even when Tobi was arraigned before
a Magistrate’s Court presided over by
Mrs. E. B Daudu. She said what really
galled her and her husband was when the police prosecutor identified as
Anthonia who was supposed to be
working in her interest, made an
application for the rape victim to be
remanded in the Child Correctional
Center at Yaba. The prosecutor claimed that the
application was necessary because
the guardians could not take proper
care of her. This, she said was what
made her vulnerable to sexual
assault. To the chagrin of the plaintiffs, Mrs. Daodu granted the
application while she released Tobi on
bail. Meanwhile, the family of the victim
who no longer has any trust in the
ability of the police to prosecute the
three suspects is making efforts to get
the Lagos State Government to .take
over the case from the police.

By DAUD OLATUNJI, Abeokuta

The funeral service held for late Chairman of Tribune titles, Chief Oluwole Awolowo on Friday was almost disrupted following the clash between protocol officials of the Federal Government and their counterparts from Ogun State Government.

Confusion started few minutes before the commencement of the programme which was held at Our Saviour’s Anglican Church Ikenne, when one of the Protocol officials of the State government asked some members of the delegation of the Federal Government to vacate the front seats for the State governor Ibikunle Amosun and other governors.

The Federal Government delegation which comprises, the President Spokesman, Dr. Reuben Abati, Minister for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Olugbenga Ashriru, Minister of State ,Federal Capital Territory, Mrs. Olajumoke Akinjide and Special Assistant to President Jonathan on Policy and Strategies, Mr. Oronto Douglas had already occupied the front seats in the Church before the arrival of the state government protocol officials.
The clash of interest between the two governments’ officials was hinged on who should sit on the first seats in the Church that had already been reserved for dignitaries.

The Protocol officials of the Federal Government became infuriated over the action of their counterparts in the State government who insisted that, only one person from the delegation of the Presidency would be allowed to sit on the front seat.

The issue almost got out of hand before a grand child in the Awolowo family, Segun begged them not to disrupt his uncle’s funeral service.

There was a pin-drop silence in the Church during the crisis which prompted a quick adjustment to accommodate Amosun and his wife on the same seat and the issue was put to rest for a while.

However, when the Minister of Information Mr Labaran Maku later arrived the Church after the first crisis had been resolved, Ambassador Olugbenga Ashiru had to leave the seat for him.

The crisis later reared its ugly head when another set of seats were arranged in the front for the five Governors that were at the service.

This development did not go down well with the delegation of the President who resisted it but were ignored.

The crisis got to its peak when the moderator called the representative of the President to speak before the governor of the State contrary to the order of protocol.

The Labaran Maku-led delegation ignored the call and did not stand up to deliver the President speech. The gesture put the programme on hold for a while before one of the Awolowo daughters, Tokunbo Awolowo-Dosunmu quickly went to the moderator to correct him.

Governor Ibikunle Amosun while making his remarks publicly acknowledged the flop in the protocol, saying the Presidency would make the final speech as the protocol demands. The President’s representative later spoke last.
