00:04:36,480 –> 00:04:40,279

have been killed in protests following this week’s disputed elections,
70
00:04:44,639 –> 00:04:48,480

75
00:05:03,000 –> 00:05:07,160
on Friday, referring to the commercial capital in northern Tanzania,
76
00:05:07,879 –> 00:05:10,680
if we add the figures from other places in the country,
77
00:05:11,079 –> 00:05:13,839
we arrive at a total of around seven hundred deaths.
78
00:05:14,680 –> 00:05:18,199
Chaidmas said its members had toured hospitals across the country
79
00:05:18,240 –> 00:05:22,319
to reach the figure. AFP reported it had received a
80
00:05:22,439 –> 00:05:26,879
similar toll from a security source. Al Jazeera has been
81
00:05:26,920 –> 00:05:30,680
unable to independently verify the number of deaths since selections
82
00:05:30,720 –> 00:05:36,920
on Wednesday. However, Tanzania’s Foreign minister Mamoved for Bidcombo, denied
83
00:05:36,959 –> 00:05:41,439
that excessive force has been used, telling Al Jazeera the
84
00:05:41,480 –> 00:05:46,759
government has no official figures on any protesters killed currently.
85
00:05:46,800 –> 00:05:50,600
No excessive force has been used, Combo said on Friday,
86
00:05:50,959 –> 00:05:55,279
denying opposition reports about hundreds of people killed. I’ve not
87
00:05:55,360 –> 00:05:58,920
seen these seven hundred anywhere. There’s no number until now
88
00:05:59,000 –> 00:06:03,560
of any protesters killed. Combo said there have been pockets
89
00:06:03,560 –> 00:06:09,199
of violence and vandalism in various areas against government properties,
90
00:06:09,480 –> 00:06:14,560
including offices and vehicles. The national electricity supply utilities have
91
00:06:14,680 –> 00:06:19,360
been burned, he added. The opposition’s estimated toll contrasted with
92
00:06:19,439 –> 00:06:23,079
that of the UN. In a Friday briefing, UN Human
93
00:06:23,199 –> 00:06:28,040
Rights spokesperson Sief mcgango told Geneva reporters that credible sources
94
00:06:28,120 –> 00:06:30,600
had indicated at least ten deaths at the hands of
95
00:06:30,680 –> 00:06:34,959
security forces so far. We call on the security forces
96
00:06:35,000 –> 00:06:40,319
to refrain from using unnecessary or disproportionate force, including lethal weapons,
97
00:06:40,720 –> 00:06:44,439
against protesters, and to make every effort to deescalate tensions,
98
00:06:44,759 –> 00:06:49,319
mcgango said in the same briefing. Meanwhile, there are unconfirmed
99
00:06:49,360 –> 00:06:53,720
reports that Tanzanian celebrities, including diamond platonoms, have fled amid
100
00:06:53,759 –> 00:06:57,480
protests in Tanzania which the reports indicated that the protesters
101
00:06:57,519 –> 00:07:01,319
are now targeting celebrities who promoted Samir Sulu Whu during
102
00:07:01,360 –> 00:07:06,040
the electioneering campaign. This the British government, through the Foreign

ordinating lawyer for the detained Biafra Republic Agitation leader Marzi Namdikru,
111
00:07:45,399 –> 00:07:48,600
has given reasons why his elder brother had continued to
112
00:07:48,639 –> 00:07:52,399
defend himself on the ground of no case submission, saying
113
00:07:52,800 –> 00:07:56,319
the Federal Government of Nigeria, who made the accusations and
114
00:07:56,399 –> 00:08:00,279
file the terrorism charges against the Biafra leader, has not
115
00:08:00,319 –> 00:08:04,040
been able to pinpoint any aspect of the Nigeria laws
116
00:08:04,079 –> 00:08:07,879
that should warrant his brother, Marzi Nandikru to enter defense,
117
00:08:08,319 –> 00:08:12,839
citing several court rulings that invalidated the federal government accusations
118
00:08:12,920 –> 00:08:17,000
against the detained Biafra leader. This, Kingsley can Unto Carnu

00:09:09,879 –> 00:09:14,039
witnesses and requested the issuance of witness summons, but at
134
00:09:14,080 –> 00:09:16,879
the resumed hearing on Monday, Carnu told the court that
135
00:09:17,000 –> 00:09:20,159
upon reviewing the case file, he had concluded that there
136
00:09:20,240 –> 00:09:24,200
was no valid charge against him. Nandi Carnu argued that
137
00:09:24,279 –> 00:09:26,879
since he believed the charges were unlawful and that the
138
00:09:26,919 –> 00:09:30,600
prosecution had failed to establish any case, there was no
139
00:09:30,720 –> 00:09:35,159
need for him to proceed with his defense. According to Punch, newspaper.
140
00:09:35,519 –> 00:09:40,240
The trial judge, Justice James Omitosho, directed Carnu to file
141
00:09:40,240 –> 00:09:43,159
a written address formerly stating his position and to serve
142
00:09:43,200 –> 00:09:48,279
the prosecution Accordingly. Justice Armaitasho further advised the IPO B
143
00:09:48,519 –> 00:09:51,879
leader to consult experts in criminal law to understand the
144
00:09:51,919 –> 00:09:56,639
possible legal implications of his decision. The judge thereafter adjourned
145
00:09:56,639 –> 00:09:59,759
the case to November fourth, five and six for the
146

position that no case had been established against him, or

00:10:06,600 –> 00:10:09,879

00:10:37,559 –> 00:10:41,360
article by doctor Samahmadi in This Stay at This Dale
156
00:10:41,399 –> 00:10:45,240
of the thirtieth of October twenty twenty five, suggesting that
157
00:10:45,320 –> 00:10:48,799
Marzi Namdi Carnu should write a defense instead of claiming
158
00:10:48,840 –> 00:10:52,799
he has no case. Exemplifies how polly informed commentary can
159
00:10:52,879 –> 00:10:57,960
distort constitutional discourse in Nigeria. While the piece parades itself
160
00:10:57,960 –> 00:11:02,039
as legal analysism, mentally misstates the law and facts of
161
00:11:02,120 –> 00:11:06,840
Marzi Carnu’s case. Carnu is not refusing to defend himself.
162
00:11:07,200 –> 00:11:10,080
He is asserting the obvious and unassailable fact that there
163
00:11:10,120 –> 00:11:14,200
exists no valid, cognizable charge known to Nigerian law for
164
00:11:14,279 –> 00:11:20,000
him to defend. That is not defiance, it is constitutional obedience. Two.
165
00:11:20,399 –> 00:11:24,559
The settled matter of rendition a closed chapter. Contrary to
166
00:11:24,799 –> 00:11:29,799
doctor Ahmadi’s impression, the illegality of Carnu’s abduction and extraordinary
167
00:11:29,799 –> 00:11:33,720
rendition from Kenya has been conclusively settled. It is not
168
00:11:33,840 –> 00:11:37,080
in contention and not on trial. The matter has been
169
00:11:37,120 –> 00:11:41,759
determined by the Court of Appeal perludo to Adephope or

Six hundred and twenty five two thousand and twenty seconds,
172
00:11:52,279 –> 00:11:56,240
which discharged Carnu on the thirteenth of October twenty twenty
173
00:11:56,279 –> 00:12:00,559
two and declared his rendition unlawful. The United Nations Human
174
00:12:00,639 –> 00:12:05,720
Rights Council UNHRC July twenty twenty two and the UN
175
00:12:05,840 –> 00:12:09,360
Special rapportch ARE on Counter Terrorism and Human Rights March
176
00:12:09,440 –> 00:12:14,320
twenty twenty three, both confirming violations of international law. The
177
00:12:14,320 –> 00:12:18,120
Federal High Court, which recognize the illegality of the rendition,
178
00:12:18,600 –> 00:12:24,320
and the Supreme Court for Emmanuel Agem JSC, who acknowledged
179
00:12:24,360 –> 00:12:27,919
that Carnu’s abduction was a grave violation of international and
180
00:12:28,000 –> 00:12:33,000
domestic law. Therefore, to suggest that Carnu is hiding behind
181
00:12:33,080 –> 00:12:40,639
rendition is disingenuous. That issue is Resjudicator finally and conclusively determined. Three.
182
00:12:41,039 –> 00:12:44,080
The crux of the matter no charge known to law.
183
00:12:44,480 –> 00:12:48,279
Marzi Carnu’s insistence that he has no case to answer
184
00:12:48,639 –> 00:12:52,559
rests squarely on Section thirty six twelve of the Constitution
185
00:12:52,679 –> 00:12:57,000
of the Federal Republic of Nigeria nineteen ninety nine, as amended.
186

A person shall not be convicted of a criminal offense

no validation under section seventy six one d Roman Figure

201
00:14:03,440 –> 00:14:06,799
act must be punishable under Kenyan law and certified by
202
00:14:06,840 –> 00:14:12,399
a Kenyan court. These are not technicalities, they are jurisdictional voids.
203
00:14:12,799 –> 00:14:15,240
A man cannot be tried for an offense that is
204
00:14:15,320 –> 00:14:19,320
not defined by an existing law. To insist otherwise is
205
00:14:19,320 –> 00:14:25,000
to drag the judiciary into constitutional heresy four constitutional supremacy
206
00:14:25,039 –> 00:14:29,360
and nonderogible immunity. When the Court of Appeal discharged Carnu
207
00:14:29,440 –> 00:14:33,080
on the thirteenth of October twenty twenty two, that discharge
208
00:14:33,120 –> 00:14:39,120
triggered the nonderogible constitutional immunity enshrined in section thirty six nine.
209
00:14:39,159 –> 00:14:41,759
No person who shows that he has been tried by
210
00:14:41,799 –> 00:14:45,159
any court of competent jurisdiction for a criminal offense and
211
00:14:45,279 –> 00:14:48,200
either convicted or acquitted, shall again be tried for that
212
00:14:48,279 –> 00:14:51,679
offense or for an offense having the same facts constituting
213
00:14:51,759 –> 00:14:57,559
that offense. This immunity is permanent, self executing a nonderrogable
214
00:14:57,919 –> 00:15:01,759
as confirmed by sections one three and forty five one
215
00:15:02,080 –> 00:15:07,000
of the Constitution. No law, court or executive order can
216
00:15:07,000 –> 00:15:11,080
override it. Even in times of national emergency. This right
217
00:15:11,200 –> 00:15:15,519
remains untouchable. Thus, the Supreme Court’s remittle order of the
218
00:15:15,559 –> 00:15:19,879
fifteenth of December twenty twenty three, being inconsistent with Section
219
00:15:20,000 –> 00:15:24,519
thirty six nine, cannot lawfully revive a null charge. Under
220
00:15:24,600 –> 00:15:28,759
section one three, any act inconsistent with the Constitution is
221
00:15:28,879 –> 00:15:38,679
void ab initiosa Lady quindi Ugnimojsali. President Bola Ahmed Tenubu
222
00:15:38,720 –> 00:15:42,200
of Nigeria has issued a revised policy actions over the
223
00:15:42,240 –> 00:15:45,960
twenty twenty five presidential pardons he had earlier granted to
224
00:15:46,039 –> 00:15:49,399
one hundred and seventy five persons, some of whom were
225
00:15:49,399 –> 00:15:54,360
convicted murderers, deadly kidnappers, which included Mariam Sander, who had
226
00:15:54,399 –> 00:15:57,320
spent barely six years and eight months at the Selegia
227
00:15:57,399 –> 00:16:01,120
Medium Security Custodial Center after she he was convicted and
228
00:16:01,279 –> 00:16:04,600
sentenced to death by hanging over the killing of her husband,
229
00:16:04,919 –> 00:16:09,519
Billyamnubelo in Abuja, who she stabbed three times repeatedly. This
230
00:16:10,200 –> 00:16:14,720
President Bola Ahmed Tanubu in his earlier presidential pardon granted
231
00:16:14,759 –> 00:16:18,360
to the thirty seven years old convicted and condemned murderer
232
00:16:18,720 –> 00:16:21,840
Mariam Sander, had asked her to go home free because
233
00:16:21,879 –> 00:16:26,360
of her children, but following public outcry and condemnation, in
234
00:16:26,399 –> 00:16:29,879
the revised version of the presidential Pardons signed into law
235
00:16:29,960 –> 00:16:33,720
on October twenty first, twenty twenty five and made available
236
00:16:33,799 –> 00:16:37,720
to the public by the Presidency on Wednesday, October twenty ninth,
237
00:16:37,840 –> 00:16:41,960
twenty twenty five, President Tanubu commuted the death sentence to
238
00:16:42,039 –> 00:16:46,360
twelve years imprisonment. Although the presidency never mentioned the total
239
00:16:46,440 –> 00:16:50,639
numbers of people granted the presidential pardons, but the list
240
00:16:50,679 –> 00:16:55,679
of beneficiaries made available by the presidential spokesperson, BeO on Aanuga,
241
00:16:56,120 –> 00:17:00,600
indicated that only eighty six persons were granted the presidentials
242
00:17:00,960 –> 00:17:04,440
and Mariam Sander apparently spelt as Mariam Sunder was last
243
00:17:04,480 –> 00:17:07,440
on the list, and the names of earlier beneficiaries like
244
00:17:07,559 –> 00:17:11,039
Kelvin Prosper Oneara were not seen in the revised edition
245
00:17:11,119 –> 00:17:13,839
of the list. Maybe the names were omitted due to
246
00:17:13,880 –> 00:17:18,839
excessive public outcry that Prosper Kelvin Oneara was a convicted, notorious,
247
00:17:18,960 –> 00:17:22,240
high profile gang leader of a deadly kidnapping group that
248
00:17:22,319 –> 00:17:25,440
were widely stated to be responsible for the kidnapping and
249
00:17:25,519 –> 00:17:29,119
subsequent killing of a former and Amra State Deputy Governor

00:17:34,160 –> 00:17:38,319
on August twenty fourth, twenty thirteen along Beneauchi Road, and
252
00:17:38,440 –> 00:17:42,160
during the kidnapping operation, the government ambushed and killed four
253
00:17:42,200 –> 00:17:46,599
police officers, including the Divisional Police Officer DPO of Ahor
254
00:17:46,720 –> 00:17:49,240
Division who led the police team in an attempt to
255
00:17:49,279 –> 00:17:53,400
rescue Mike Oseekome. Outside that, the forty four years old
256
00:17:53,440 –> 00:17:57,079
Oneara was also stated to be responsible for the kidnapping
257
00:17:57,079 –> 00:18:00,640
of a judge in the Edo State Judiciary, top female
258
00:18:00,680 –> 00:18:05,079
official of the Federal Inland Revenue Service FIRS, among other
259
00:18:05,160 –> 00:18:09,440
several members of the National Youth Service Corps NYSC and
260
00:18:09,519 –> 00:18:13,119
security agents, and Oneara was also stated to carry out
261
00:18:13,200 –> 00:18:17,880
several armed robberies and kidnap operations in Delta, Heado Rivers
262
00:18:17,880 –> 00:18:22,400
and Anambra States, maintaining operational base and detention camps in
263
00:18:22,480 –> 00:18:27,200
Warre and Kokori community in Delta State, Ugbucolo community in
264
00:18:27,279 –> 00:18:31,799
Benewe State, Bernin City in Edo State and Aberinabia State.
265
00:18:32,119 –> 00:18:36,079
That on the eighteenth of September twenty thirteen, Oneara issued
266
00:18:36,079 –> 00:18:39,839
a sixty day ultimatum to the Federal Government of Nigeria
267
00:18:39,920 –> 00:18:42,559
to release some of his boys who were arrested by
268
00:18:42,559 –> 00:18:46,480
the Department of State Services DSS or he would recavoc
269
00:18:46,599 –> 00:18:50,480
on innocent Nigerian citizens. And on the twenty fifth of
270
00:18:50,519 –> 00:18:54,680
September twenty thirteen, a combined security team of the Nigerian
271
00:18:54,839 –> 00:18:59,480
Army and DSS operatives arrested Kelvin Prosper Oneara, a convicted
272
00:18:59,519 –> 00:19:03,559
notorious terrorists, kidnapped kingpin and armed robber who had been
273
00:19:03,599 –> 00:19:06,759
on the wanted list of the security agencies, and he
274
00:19:06,880 –> 00:19:10,160
was subsequently sentenced to twenty years imprisonment, which he had
275
00:19:10,200 –> 00:19:14,400
spent twelve years in prison before President Bola Ahmed Tanubu
276
00:19:14,480 –> 00:19:18,200
had initially made an attempt to release him. Details of
277
00:19:18,240 –> 00:19:21,200
the three press releases issued by the Presidency in the
278
00:19:21,279 –> 00:19:24,960
course of the twenty twenty five presidential pardons that elicited
279
00:19:25,000 –> 00:19:29,039
public outcry and rejections are presented verbatim in a descending
280
00:19:29,160 –> 00:19:33,720
order of latest to former below. President Tanubu signs instrument

of clemency and pardons moved Secretariat of Prerogative of Mercy
282
00:19:37,960 –> 00:19:44,079
Committee to Justice Ministry. President Bola Ahmed Tanubu GCFR has
283
00:19:44,160 –> 00:19:47,640
executed the relevant instruments of release to complete the process
284
00:19:47,720 –> 00:19:52,680
of formally exercising his constitutional power of Prerogative of Mercy
285
00:19:52,759 –> 00:19:56,200
to grant pardon and clemency to specific individuals who were
286
00:19:56,200 –> 00:20:01,079
earlier convicted for various offenses. Following co insultations with the
287
00:20:01,119 –> 00:20:04,279
Council of State and Public Opinion on the matter, the
288
00:20:04,319 –> 00:20:07,680
President directed a further review of the initially approved list
289
00:20:07,759 –> 00:20:11,720
for consideration in furtherance of the President’s discretionary powers under
290
00:20:11,759 –> 00:20:15,440
Section one seventy five one and two of the nineteen
291
00:20:15,519 –> 00:20:21,400
ninety nine Constitution as amended. Consequently, certain persons convicted of
292
00:20:21,519 –> 00:20:27,440
serious crimes, such as kidnapping, drug related offenses, human trafficking, fraud,
293
00:20:27,799 –> 00:20:31,960
a lawful possession of firearms, arms dealing, et cetera. Were
294
00:20:32,000 –> 00:20:35,799
deleted from the list. Others who had been hitherto pardoned
295
00:20:35,799 –> 00:20:39,559
in the old list had their sentences commuted. This action
296
00:20:39,720 –> 00:20:43,799
became necessary in view of the seriousness and security implications
297
00:20:43,839 –> 00:20:46,559
of some of the offenses, the need to be sensitive
298
00:20:46,599 –> 00:20:48,799
to the feelings of the victims of the crimes and
299
00:20:48,839 –> 00:20:51,799
