Amnesty International, lawyers  should be ashamed for failing to prove allegations against military before presidential panel – Truth and Justice

The Coalition for Truth and Justice (CTJ) has aimed jibes at Amnesty International for failing to prove allegations of human rights abuses against the Nigerian Military before the presidential panel despite hiring a team of international lawyers.

The acclaimed humanitarian group had claimed it “received credible evidence that as the military regained control, more than 600 people, mostly unarmed recaptured detainees, were extra-judicially executed in various locations across Maiduguri”

However, AI’s legal team were unable to backup this bogus allegation before the presidential panel and CTJ reckoned its the group’s usual “campaign of calumny” against the gallant troops.

National Secretary, Barrister Abiodun Sodiq Babalola in a press conference in Abuja on Monday said it monitored the military’s activities and found AI’s claims to be totally false.

It further revealed that AI lawyers relied on “ newspaper reports and news items planted in the media as it was not able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the allegations were indeed genuine”.

The Coalition for Truth and Justice, therefore, warned Amnesty International and its sponsored proxies to discontinue its propaganda of mischief against the Nigerian Military with immediate effect.

Failure to do so, however, the group said would attract the full wrath of Nigerians.

Read full report below:

The leadership of the Coalition for Truth and Justice welcomes you all to the important press conference in light of the allegations of human rights violations by the Nigerian Military in the fight against the Boko Haram terrorist group and other militant groups in Nigeria.

The Coalition for Truth and Justice, as a critical stakeholder in the fight against terrorism and other militant activities in Nigeria, has monitored the activities of the Nigerian Military with regards to the use of force in the discharge of their various operations.

This is also on the heels that, in some quarters, clamors were rife that the Nigerian Military engages the use of maximum force, and grossly violates human rights in their various operations.

It is on record that the Federal Government of Nigeria had inaugurated an eight-man Presidential Investigation Panel to Review Compliance of the Armed Forces with Human Rights’ Obligations and Rules of Engagement in 2017.

We wish to state that this presidential investigative panel was mandated to “the review of extant rules of engagement applicable to Armed Forces of Nigeria and the extent of compliance thereto.

To investigate alleged acts of violation of international humanitarian and human rights laws under the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended; the Geneva Convention Act; the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights, Ratification and Enforcement Act and other relevant laws by the Armed Forces in local conflicts and insurgencies.

“To investigate matters of conduct and discipline in the armed forces in local conflicts and insurgencies; “To recommend the means of preventing violations of international humanitarian and human rights laws in conflict situations, and to make further recommendations in line with these terms of reference as may be deemed necessary.

We consequently wish to state that Amnesty International in operation in Nigeria made over 150 submissions against the Nigeria Military through its lawyer Femi Falana (SAN) as well as some other international human rights lawyers to support their claims that the Nigerian Military has consistently violated human rights in its operations.

The Coalition for Truth and Justice wishes to state that the Presidential Investigative panel absolved the Nigerian Military of human rights violations as the brilliant lawyers engaged by Amnesty International could not prove that the Nigeria Military indeed violated human rights in their operations.

The lawyers relied on newspaper reports and news items planted in the media by Amnesty International as it was not able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the allegations were indeed genuine.

We wish to state that since the countering of the claims of human rights violations by Amnesty International by the Presidential Investigative Panel, Amnesty International has elected to continue its campaign of calumny against the Nigerian Military using proxies.

We have it on competent authority on how Amnesty International is now sponsoring some local NGOs to run a campaign of calumny against the Military in recent times. This fact can be seen with the flurry of allegations on human rights violations against the Nigerian Military.

The Coalition for Truth and Justice wishes to inform the members of the general public that Amnesty International as an organization has been adequately mobilized by some enemies of Nigeria that are covertly sponsoring violence in Nigeria to continue to use its platform to distract and discredit the Nigerian Military, especially in this period that the Nigerian Military is making significant gains in the war against terrorism in North-East Nigeria and other parts of the country.

It is also on record that Amnesty International, in their usual fashion of making bogus and unsubstantiated claims on human rights violations, is primarily propelled by pecuniary benefits and not in the interest of human rights.

This trademark of Amnesty International is the order of the day in all the countries it is in operation. The insincerity of Amnesty International is indeed legendary with the fact that their activity is fraught with lies, deceit, selection bias, fraud, and as well as an ideology and foreign policy bias against either non-Western countries or Western-supported countries.

It is worthy of mention that countries such as Israel, Congo, China, and Chile to mention but a few have complained about Amnesty International’s one-sided reporting, and failure to treat threats to security as a mitigating factor.

The Coalition for Truth and Justice wishes to use this medium to inform Nigerians that Amnesty International is a fraudulent international organization that does exactly what it accuses others of. Sufficing to mention that in February 2019, Amnesty International’s management team offered to resign after an independent report by Konterra group found what it called a “toxic culture” of workplace bullying, as well as numerous evidence of bullying, harassment, sexism and racism in the organization.

The Coalition for Truth and Justice wishes to state in unequivocal terms that Nigeria, as a sovereign country, is duty-bound to protect its civilian population and is doing just that within the ambit of the law.

Nigerians are also duty-bound to see through the gimmick of Amnesty International and understand that its aim is nothing but to destabilize Nigeria just like it did in some countries. Nigerians must, in one voice, resist and rebuke the shenanigans of Amnesty International.

We consequently wish to use this medium to warn Amnesty International and its sponsored proxies to discontinue the campaign of calumny against the Nigerian Military with immediate effect.

Nigerians have indeed had enough of its nefarious activities. As such, it must desist from it or face the full wrath of Nigerians. Amnesty International must understand that Nigeria is not a banana republic, but one with extreme regard and respect for human rights in line with international humanitarian and human rights laws.

I thank you all for listening, and it is hoped that Amnesty International would heed to wise counsel at this material time as its destabilization plot has failed.

The Federal Government will today, arraign Obinna Uzor, His lawyer Eziafa Samuel Enwedo and three others before Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court in Abuja, over alleged fraud and forgery of court processes.

The Federal Government last Thursday, filed the charge against Enwedo who was accused of forging court processes which a court of the Federal Capital Territory relied on to give judgment declaring the election of Ifeanyi Ubah as the senator representing Anambra South null and void.

Enwedo was said to have conspired with his client who was plaintiff in the suit- Anani Anacletus Chuka, Dr Obinna Uzor who later applied to join the suit, and two others namely, Aroh Ifunanya and Faith Samuel.

In the charge sheet, Enwedo co-conspirators are said to be at large.

Count one of the charges read: “That you Eziafa Samuel Enwedo on or about September, 2019 at the Federal Capital Territory within the jurisdiction of this court did conspire with Anani Anacletus Chuka, Aron Ifunanya, Faith Samuel and Obinna Uzor all of who are at large to commit a felony to with forging originating summons number CV/3044/18 Anani Anacletus Chuka Versus Ubah Ifeanyi Patrick and Others and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 3(6) of the Miscellaneous Offences Act Cap M17 Law’s of the Federation of Nigeria 2004 and punishable under Section 1(2) of the same Act.”

In count four, the suspects were charged thus: “That you Eziafa Samuel Enwedo (M) and the following other persons now at large that is Anani Anacletus Chuka(M),Aron Ifunanya (F), Faith Samuel (F) and Obinna Uzor (M) on or about September ,2019 at the Federal Capital Territory Abuja; within the jurisdiction of this court, with intent to defraud, made a false document, namely motion on notice for joinder, with No M/4017/19, knowing same to be false, with the intent that it may be acted on as genuine to the prejudice of Senator (Dr) Ubah Ifeanyi Patrick a distinguished Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District and thereby committed an offense punishable under Section 1(2)(c) of the Miscellaneous Offences Act Cap M17, LFN 2004.”

Count five reads: “That you Eziafa Samuel Enwedo (M) and the following other persons now at large that is Anani Anacletus Chuka(M),Aron Ifunanya (F), Faith Samuel (F) and Obinna Uzor (M) on or about September,2019 at the Federal Capital Territory Abuja; within the jurisdiction of this court, with intent to defraud, made a false document, namely a purported judgment in suit number CV/3044/18 knowing same to be false with intent that it may be acted upon as genuine to the prejudice of Senator (Dr) Ubah Ifeanyi Patrick a distinguished Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District and thereby committed an offense punishable under Section 1(2)(c) of the Miscellaneous Offences Act Cap M17, LFN 2004.”

Count six: “That you Eziafa Samuel Enwedo (M) and the following other persons now at large that is Anani Anacletus Chuka(M),Aron Ifunanya (F), Faith Samuel (F) and Obinna Uzor (M) sometime in, 2019 at the Federal Capital Territory Abuja; made a press release to Elombanews with attached court documents that Senator (Dr) Ubah Ifeanyi Patrick, the distinguished Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District at the 9th Senate of the National Assembly of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has by that judgment been removed from the Senate on the grounds of having forged his NECO Certificate and that his party, Young People’s Party (YPP( did not conduct primaries, a message or news that is grossly offensive or indecent, obscene or menacing, and you caused annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to the said Senator (Dr) Ubah Ifeanyi Patrick, even though you knew the information to be false, and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 15(1)(a),(b) Cyber Crime Act 2015.”

Ubah has already filed an appeal challenging the judgment after the trial judge, Bello Kawu refused his application to set it aside.

His Counsel, Onyechi Ikpeazu had told the Court of Appeal that the Nigerian Bar Association’s (NBA) stamp and seal on the originating processes of the suit were forged.

The lawyer asked the court to allow him tender letters from the NBA showing that the stamp and seal had not been issued by the NBA before the processes were filed and the court delivered its judgment.

He also attached a letter from the Chief Registrar of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory showing that payment for the court processes were made on 25th September 2019, that is about five months after the court had delivered judgment in the suit. The court delivered judgment in the suit on April 11, 2019.

He argued that the trial judge, Bello Kawu assumed jurisdiction in the case when in fact there were no valid processes before him to confer jurisdiction on him.

Responding to a request from Ubah’s lawyers seeking to know the date of payment of the filling fees in Suit Number CV/3033/2018; Anani Anacletus Chuka Vs Ubah Patrick Ifeanyi and others, the Chief Registrar of the FCT High Court said: “We write to confirm that the payment in respect of the above named suit was made on the 25th September 2019 paid by Aroh Ifunanya for an originating summons with receipt No:11643044 and teller No: 0148979, amount N4.300; Aso Savings and Loans.”

Following the same request by Ikpeazu to the NBA General Secretary seeking a confirmation of the date of application and issuance of the association’s stamp and seal as per the said case the NBA General Secretary Jonathan Gunn Taidi Esq stated that “pursuant to your request letter dated March 5th, 2020 on the captioned subject matter and upon investigation, findings reveal that the stamp in respect of Ifunanya Nwando Aroh SCN101933 was produced under Batch 137 on August 20, 2019 with expiry date of March 2020 while the stamp in respect of Eziafa Samuel Enwedo SCN089053 was produced under Batch 150 on September 11, 2019 with expiry date of March 2020.”

Going by these findings, it is clear that the suit was commenced on March 27, 2019 and April 2, 2019 and up to the time the judgment was delivered the stamp and seal had not been produced and issued by the NBA and that at the time the suit was commenced and judgment delivered the filling fees was not paid for,” Ikpeazu said.

The senior advocate is therefore asking the court of appeal to allow his client’s appeal challenging his removal by the high court on the grounds that the entire proceedings and the judgment were manifestly incompetent and a nullity.

In a further affidavit deposed to by Obinna Onya, a legal practitioner in the law firm of Dr. Onyechi Ikpeazu, SAN, he averred that the 1st Respondent -Anani purportedly commenced Suit No. FCT/HC/CV/3044/2018 by Originating Summons on 19th October 2018 and upon a proper perusal of the originating summons Ikpeazu SAN realized that the originating summons was not signed by any counsel as required by law which prompted the filing of a motion on March 3rd, 2020 praying the court to strike out the originating summons as being incompetent and to dismiss the appeal.

About 800 Nigerians returned from Libya through the Murtala Mohammed International Airport between January and February 2020.

A source close to the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) at the MMIA, Lagos who disclosed the development said the Liyba returnees fell into the category of those with criminal records, deportees, voluntary return and repatriation.

Investigation revealed that majority of persons on the list comprise voluntarily returnees, who resolve to return home after they realized they could no longer cope with conditions in the North African country.

The source hinted that persons that fell into this category were assisted by the International Organization of Migration (IOM) under its voluntary returnee programme.

It was also gathered that deportees were very negligible and repatriations were a little higher than deportation while the voluntary topped the list.

According to sources close to the immigration service at the airport, all the returnees were treated like normal passengers, as they were profiled without any form of stigmatization.

There was however no issues of human trafficking in the last two months through the airport, it was further learnt.

The massive blast has reportedly rocked neighbouring areas, sparking a massive blaze that has destroyed nearby buildings including a school.

Plumes of smoke have been seen rising into the sky, but our correspondent on the scene says the area has been cordoned off.

An eyewitness told our correspondent that a tipper offloading sand caught fire, which spread to a nearby pipeline, triggering the blast.

In order to cushion challenges of transportation owing to the recent ban on operations of tricycles and motorcycles, popularly known as ‘Okada’ in the Nigerian Federal Capital City (FCC), FCT Minister, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello has released about 21 taxis into Abuja streets.

The Minister, who disclosed this during the flag-off ceremony for the FCTA tricycle palliative taxi scheme for tricycle owners in Abuja, said that the event was significant because of the launch of MTI taxi scheme and presentation of starter packs to beneficiaries of AEA’s carpentry training.

Bello regretted that his Administration met commuter mobility crisis, endemic traffic congestion and inadequate transportation infrastructure”, expressing hope thus: “All that I believe is becoming a thing of the past, more so, with this flag-off today, as well as other measures we have put in place to improve the genre last wellbeing of residents.”

Malam Bello who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Alhaji Bashir Mai-Borno stated that the FCTA was “careful and diligent” in selecting beneficiaries of the taxis who were also given relevant entrepreneurial and technical training to excel.

Also speaking, the Chairman, FCTA Task Team on Traffic Management, Comrade Ikharo Attah while making his remarks, warned against misuse of the new vehicles, even as he reminded that the cardinal principle in traffic management, according to the FCT Minister, was that “We must all drive according to rules“.

Security Measures
Earlier, the Managing Director, Abuja Enterprise Agency (AEA), Arabi Muhammad Tukur, stated that his organisation has put in place necessary measures to ensure security and safety of passengers, even as it profiled 13 out of the 19 trained and gave them funds, under agreed conditions, to acquire the vehicles.

He therefore charged them, mostly members of the Confederation of Tricycle Motor Operators Association in the FCT to be innovative, creative and lead with integrity.

One of the beneficiaries, Sanusi Usman, who is Treasurer, Keke and motorcycles operators in the FCT, expressed delight over the gesture and assured the administration that they will judiciously use the vehicles for the purpose they are meant for.

According to him, it has allayed fears they earlier harboured when their activities were banned by the FCT Administration, not long ago.

It was gathered that the beneficiaries were expected to finally pay a total of about N3.8 million per vehicle, within four years, at about N25,000 monthly.

Troops of the Nigerian Army have repelled what would have ended up in a brutal massacre of innocent residents in some Benue communities after responding to an information from some locals confirming the presence of some bandits in the general area of Abinsi and Angbaye Islands in Guma Local Government Area of the state.

According to the Army Operations spokesman, Col Aminu Iliyasu, the troops subsequently mobilized and conducted a robust clearance operation along the axis.

Troops discovered and destroyed 2 makeshift camps where the armed bandits used to hibernate on the Islands.

The raid forced the armed bandits to flee the general area. Nevertheless, troops pursued the bandits until contact was broken along the River line separating Benue and Nassarawa States.

In the aftermath of the encounter, troops recovered one AK 47 magazine with 22 rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunition.

Boko Haram/ISWAP fighters suffer defeat as troops intensify clearance operations

The Nigerian Army says scores of Boko Haram and Islamic State in the West African Province ISWAP have suffered humiliating defeats in Damboa, Borno State and Garkida in Adamawa State in the hands of the troops of Operation LAFIYA DOLE as troops continue to sustain their operations with more debilitating defeat of the terrorists.

In a statement Media Coordinator of Nigerian Army Operations Centre, Col Aminu Iliyasu said evidently, the devasting defeat suffered by the criminal insurgents has continued to widen the cracks and animosities exposed recently within the ranks and files of the Boko Haram criminal Sect on the one hand and between it and its rival splinter Sect, the so-called on the other, while also providing the troops with the much needed tonic to continuing to decimate the terrorists in a bid to expeditiously end their obnoxious activities.

”In the same vein, armed bandits, kidnappers and other sundry criminals are finding it increasingly difficult to operate across the country as Nigerian Army troops continue to step up their anti-banditry operations across the NC and NW Regions in particular.” Iliyasu said.

Consequently, on 11 March 2020, the gallant troops of Strong Response Area Gubio successfully repelled a Boko Haram criminals’ attack. During the encounter, troops dealt a decisive blow on the marauding criminals, neutralized 2 of them and captured one AK 47 Rifle.

Subsequent exploitation by the troops along the withdrawal route of the insurgents in the early hours of 12 March 2020 led to the discovery of additional 5 Boko Haram criminals’ shattered bodies resulting from the encounter, one burnt Boko Haram terrorists Gun Truck, one PKT Machine Gun, 2 AK 47 Rifles, 3 AK 47 Rifle magazines and 67 rounds of 7.62mm Special ammunition.

Furthermore, on the same 5 March 2020, 2 Boko Haram terrorists, Musa Mohammed (21 years) and Maina Liman (35 years) surrendered to troops of 202 Battalion deployed at Tashan Goto in Bama LGA of Borno State. The surrendered terrorists confessed that they worked for the Nakib (a Boko Haram Captain) at Bula Umar Village. The troops recovered 2 AK 47 Rifles, 2 AK 47 Rifle Magazines and 8 rounds of 7.62mm Special Ammunition from the surrendered terrorists.

”The surrendered criminals further revealed that a number of their erstwhile members were killed by troops in recent times while others are left wandering in the forest and willing to surrender to troops of the Nigerian Army as they are tired of life without meaning.

”They also regretted their involvement in the act of insurgency while calling on their former collaborators to also take the bold step to renounce and submit themselves to the authorities of the Nigerian Army.” He said.

In a related development, on 8 March 2020, another Boko Haram Terrorist, Bulama Modu Zantaliye  surrendered to troops of 151 Battalion deployed at Strong Response Area Banki Junction.

Preliminary investigation reveals that the surrendered terrorist belongs to the Shekau faction. He also calls on his former colleagues to tow the path of sanity and surrender themselves to troops of the Nigerian Army as their safety and security are guaranteed.

Anambra Burial Law, infringement on cultural values and fundamental rights of citizens.

By Sam Nwosu

In all society across planet earth, there are laws that are impossible to enforce, there are those that are enforceable. If any government structure, be it autocracy, plutocracy, parliamentary, dictatorship, communism, democracy or any nomenclature, attempts to force unpopular laws down citizens throat it always ends in disaster, the action results to disobedience, resistance or outright revolution.

This is especially where the law has to do with infringement on cultural values and fundamental rights of citizens, no government wins such war. This stupid laws only exposes the empty headedness of the state assembly members, an assembly mostly populated by FSLC or NECO certificate holders a good number even forged. If they were sound in reasoning they would have taken into consideration how impassible it is to enforce such laws especially in a state like Anambra that is populated by very proud,stubborn, well traveled and well to do individuals. The confused law makers didn’t even consider the economic impact of the silly law on the entire state. When you see people from around the country flocking the state on weekends 90% of the visitors come for burials and traditional marriages, they bring serious money into the state. Food vendors, hotels, spare parts dealers, students, women of easy virtues, transporters, super markets, every aspect of the state economy thrives and the government collects its taxes. The multiplier effect on the wellbeing of the businesses and residents can never be quantified. All over the world countries and states thrive on tourism, they will do anything to protect their tourism industry and here our law makers want to do the opposite.

In Anambra state marriages and funeral ceremonies has been elevated to serious tourism industry. The politicians in the churches masquerading as religious leaders are behind this misconceived attempt to infringe on human rights of citizens. They do not want people to spend money on burials in honour of those that toiled to raise them, simply because the self acclaimed saviours want the money spent on their business centres called churches, which they operate primarily to intimidate and fleece people. They surreptitiously condemn any action that will reduce their source of income which they use to maintain their expensive lifestyles.

The God we serve is not a begger God that must be appeased with money. The pretenders to the throne of God will manipulate the government and the law makers through self idolatry preachings or private duscussions using the holy book to give verve to their postulation into making very unpopular laws.

The only other reason I see is that government need to improve its revenues so have decided to pretentiously tax funerals, if I am right I think they got it wrong, they should have come straight to say if you want an expensive funeral you pay tax of 100k to the government, of course there will be grumbles here and there but eventually everybody will pay.
If you try to infringe on citizens rights you will be vehemently and collectively resisted.

Nkea adabaro cha cha!
