#BIAFRA : ARMY GUN DOWN PEACEFUL PROTESTER IN ABA (Viewers Discretion)
I think these killings are becoming senseless and stupid. The world most look into this to avoid unguarded killings of people on peaceful protest, exercising their inherent legitimate rights. This young man was gunned down by some crazy, trigger-loving and senseless army. This act of impunity and slaughtering of indigenous people of Biafra by Nigeria has to stop. There has to be restrain from killing unarmed protesters.

SEE WHY TOMPOLO REFUSED TO HONOUR EFCC AND COURT INVITATION

Former Niger Delta warlord, Chief Government Ekpemupolo alias Tompolo has revealed why he is yet to honour the invitation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over an alleged N34bn fraud, explaining that he does not want to be arraigned before a biased judge.
Tompolo, who accused the federal government of flouting court orders with impunity, said no one should be above the law, even as he promised to honour the invitation of the anti-graft agency, claiming to be innocent in the dealings he had with the Nigerian Maritime Safety Agency, NIMASA.
His media aide, Paul Bebenibo, who requested the EFCC to give the former militant commander more time to honour its summons, told TheCable in an interview that Tompolo, “will appear before the EFCC but the court case he has with them has to be settled before he will honour the invitation.
“Be that as it may, adherence to constitutionalism and the rule of law should not be on one part. There have been so many court pronouncements which the government and its agencies have refused to obey.
“The federal government should also respect the rule of law. Imagine the president saying that some persons should be kept in custody when the court asked that they should be freed. It doesn’t work. Tompolo will certainly appear because there is no misdeed on his part as far as the transactions with the federal government and NIMASA are concerned. As I speak to you now, his lawyers are working to sort that out.

“There is no misdeed on the part of Tompolo as far as this issue that he is having with the EFCC is concerned. He was actually the backbone of NIMASA in recovering the levies, taxes and so on, since he has interest in Global West Vessel Company, which does the job for NIMASA.
“So, if there is any financial issue that has got to do with NIMASA, Global West and Tompolo, he is very innocent. His records in ensuring that the public-private partnership which Global West had with NIMASA worked out for good are out known.
“So, one needs to be careful in order not to appear before just any court. Tompolo would not allow himself to be ridiculed, never. He would not appear before just any judge that would not be able to give effective judgment. Not a judge that would make pronouncement that would tie his hands, he won’t appear before such judge.”
While noting that his principal know nothing about the recent attack on oil installations in the Niger Delta, Bebenibo said, “Tompolo would not condescend so low to attack oil installations because he is being invited by the EFCC.
“It is a non-issue. Afterall, he is in court with the EFCC. He went to court two months after the EFCC froze his account without any court mandate. He challenged them in court and the EFCC invited him after that, so Tompolo is not afraid of appearing before EFCC. He will certainly appear but he should be given more time.”
On speculations that Tompolo has ran away from the country, Bebenibo said: “Flee to where? Tompolo has not left this country before. Since he accepted the amnesty offer of the late President Musa Yar’Adua, he has remained in this country. He cannot go through the backdoor.”

#Dasukigate: Northern Lawmaker Recommends Amputation, Hanging For Corrupt Government Officials

Member, House of Representatives, Chikun/Kajuru federal constituency of Kaduna State, under Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Umar Yakubu Barde, has advocated for

the amputation of the hands of those who have looted public funds in the country.
He said those who stole millions of naira should have their hands amputated, while those who have looted in the billions of naira should be hanged to death.
Speaking yesterday at a press conference with Kaduna State chapter of correspondents chapel of Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Barde said some members of the lower chamber who are of like mind are already looking at the possibility of putting such a law in place to make it legal.
To this end, the lawmaker called for a special court rather than the conventional court to try and sentence looters of public monies to the prescribed capital punishment.

He said “I am a believer in the fact that people should be punished for whatever offence they commit. And I am also of the belief that punishment should also be segregated according to the offence. At least your punishment should be commensurate with what you have done.
“For me, if someone steals from N1 million to N100 million, they should cut his hands. There is nothing wrong with that, so that when we see him, we will know yes, he stole. And those that steal billions upward should be hanged and their property confiscated.
“You can imagine this issue of arms deal. If you knew this money was meant for the procurement of arms, weapons, (consider) if you have a brother in the Army, he is sent to the war front and because his weapons are archaic and he is killed. Do you now want to have sympathy for someone who knows that the money was meant for arms and he pocketed it? It is so painful, we have lost loved ones.
“If I am a judge and such a person is brought before me, I will confisticate his property and make sure he is killed also. Because he bears fault in the blood of the people killed in the war front.
“We are living in a very funny country where people steal N1,000 and they are put in jail for years. And where some people will steal billions and use that same billion to escape justice. That is not good enough.
“If you look at the quantum of corruption in the country today, we are just talking about Dasukigate, and look at the quantum of money and the number of people that are involved. You have not gone to the ministries yet. You have not even gone to the states and it is only ICPC and EFCC that are to do all these jobs.
“If we are fair to ourselves, the work is overwhelming. And you know, people will want to use the legal system to delay Justice, and that is what is happening today. So, why don’t we have dedicated courts to handle all these corruption cases, so that justice could be dispensed quickly?
“I am aware of former Governors who have cases with the EFCC and they have not gone to court for the past eight years. So, this does not encourage the young people. It rather encourages them to steal.
“So, I think we need to put our heads together because corruption, like hunger, does not know party, it does not know tribe of religion. We must as Nigerians take a very bold stand.”

PDP Is Coming Up Stronger In Spite Of APC’s Agenda

The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC) government’s heinous and draconian agenda cannot annihilate the PDP.
The party in a statement issued on Sunday, January 17, by the National Secretary, Prof. Adewale Oladipo, a copy obtained by Naij.com, alleged that the APC-led government attempt to decimate it will fail as the party is coming up stronger, and because “Nigerians now know better.”

APC and PDP logos

The party said that APC having realised that it lacked what it takes to deliver its numerous bogus campaign promises to Nigerians has ignobly resorted to intimidation and harassment of the opposition through its set-out witch-hunt policy.

Oladipo alleged that in a desperate mood to cover up its obvious lapses and the clear lack of governance direction in the last eight months, the APC government has plunged all its energy looking for imaginary PDP faults.

His words: “In all democracies, viable opposition is recommended for stability and growth of society, but the APC in is seeking to decimate opposition so foist its dictatorial agenda of installing one party state without economic direction and where the rights of the citizens are trampled under-foot.
“Nigerians have seen through the campaign deceptions and the now unfolding agenda of the APC and are now apprehensive about the health of the country as the reality of the type of party and leaders they voted into power gradually dawns on them.

“They have watched carefully as all essential values of a viable democracy are being destroyed; the other arms of government, the judiciary and legislature have been caged under with each now struggling to survive.

“We are all witnesses of the brazen abuse of human rights of citizens, arrest and detention without trial, disregard for court orders and the impunity being displayed by various security agencies in the last eight months.

“Also obvious to Nigerians now is the use of the fight against corruption as means of settling scores with perceived enemies as is the case with key PDP leaders including its Spokesman, an action that is ostensibly aimed at silencing the opposition from looking in and exposing the incompetence, and the double standard of the administration.

“We invite Nigerians and the international community to continue to note that while the government continues to harass PDP leaders and abuse their rights, very obvious corrupt cases involving notable APC leaders have been brushed aside.”

The opposition party, however, reiterates its support for the fight against corruption but insists that its conduct must have integrity, must be fair, credible, just and must follow due process and rule of law.

“Finally, the PDP assures its numerous supporters across the country of the dividends of the on-going rebuilding and re-engineering process in the party to re-position the party for the electoral challenges ahead especially as it has become clear that APC lacks the capacity to handle governance and provide economic direction for the country, but has only succeeded in injecting bad blood and division among Nigerians resulting in the current threats to national cohesion and stability,” Oladipo said.
Recall that Prof. Adewale Oladipo’s name was among the names contained in a statement issued by Olisah Metuh, alleging that intelligence information available to the party indicates that Senator Ekweremadu is not an isolated target for assassination.

Meanwhile, the Ekiti state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has praised Governor Ayodele Fayose for his brave analysis of the way the country is being run by President Muhammadu Buhari.

ALLEGED DOCTORING OF BUDGET : HURIWA CALLS FOR THE ARREST OF SEN. ITA ENANG

A pro-democracy group, the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA on Sunday called on the Nigeria Police to immediately arrest and question President Muhammadu Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on National Assembly matters (Senate), Senator Ita Enang, for allegedly falsifying the
2016 Budget presented to the Senate.

It noted that, “In civilised and saner
According to the statement, “We note with disappointment that whereas the current Inspector General of Police, Mr Solomon Arase and other relevant authorities are in the public media advertising that henceforth police operatives should stop carrying hand bags for political office holders, this video of the alleged use of a member of the nation’s secret police as shoes shiner is a crime against the institution of the Department of State Service because it has devalued members of such an esteemed national institution as mere slaves of serving political office holders who are of the All Progressives Congress specie.
