paul In Namdicano and Valentines. They send a message to

00:00:07,400 –> 00:00:11,400
the lovers, supporters of the Bafra Republic agitation and the

4
00:00:11,480 –> 00:00:15,039
general public that he would remain in detention until impartial

00:00:15,080 –> 00:00:18,600
and unbiased George Takuma the case of alleged terrorism filed

6
00:00:18,679 –> 00:00:22,519
against him by the Federal Government of Nigeria, narrating how

7
00:00:22,559 –> 00:00:25,800
the judiciary has been biased against him since years of

8
00:00:25,839 –> 00:00:29,800
his detention. In an open letter to the general public,

9
00:00:30,239 –> 00:00:33,520
the the ten Viarfra leader, who has continued his agutation

10
00:00:33,719 –> 00:00:37,799
for the declaration of Bafra Republic, started below in quotes

11
00:00:38,640 –> 00:00:42,039
greaters to all men and women of goodwill in Nigeria

12
00:00:42,159 –> 00:00:45,600
and elsewhere in the world. I have been conquered by

13
00:00:45,679 –> 00:00:48,119
the events of the past few days to take the

14
00:00:48,240 –> 00:00:51,399
unusual stem of writing this open letter for the singular

15
00:00:51,479 –> 00:00:54,439
purpose of calling the attention of the general public to

16
00:00:54,479 –> 00:00:58,640
the serial executive and judicial fraud being perpetrated against me

17
00:00:58,759 –> 00:01:03,640
since my extraordinary rendition in twenty twenty one. The details

18
00:01:03,679 –> 00:01:07,359
are as follows. One. In a judgment entered on the

19
00:01:07,400 –> 00:01:11,480
first of March twenty seventeen, the Federal High Court Abuja

20
00:01:11,560 –> 00:01:15,799
rule that day IPOB is not an unlawful group. At

21
00:01:15,840 –> 00:01:19,840
the time, it received widespread publicity which can be verified

22
00:01:19,879 –> 00:01:23,799
from vang gon dot com slash twenty seventeen slash zero

23
00:01:23,879 –> 00:01:28,400
three slash candid dash eye. This landmark ruling met by

24
00:01:28,439 –> 00:01:31,680
the court before it turned on just emanated in a

25
00:01:31,719 –> 00:01:36,480
criminal procedence that required proof beyond reasonable doubt and in

26
00:01:36,519 –> 00:01:39,959
which the Federal Government and my humble self presented our

27
00:01:40,040 –> 00:01:44,920
respective cases alas. Instead of the Federal government to go

28
00:01:45,000 –> 00:01:48,319
on appeal as the law mandated if they are dissatisfied

29
00:01:48,359 –> 00:01:52,719
with the judgment, the former Attorney General Abubaka Malani went

30
00:01:52,760 –> 00:01:55,640
behind closed those with a letter signed by let Abakiri

31
00:01:55,760 –> 00:01:58,920
and got uncle proscribed termed a terrorist group in an

32
00:01:58,920 –> 00:02:01,959
ex party procedence conducted without notice to me or to

33
00:02:02,040 –> 00:02:06,719
the IPOB. This unvalguonable incident was the earliest sign yet

34
00:02:06,879 –> 00:02:10,039
that the government and its judiciary have struck an unholy

35
00:02:10,080 –> 00:02:13,800
and fraudulent alliance to denigning my rights and thereby impairing

36
00:02:13,800 –> 00:02:18,719
the lives and liberty of millions fo identity with IPOB two.

37
00:02:18,840 –> 00:02:22,280
On the twenty sixth of October twenty twenty two, a

38
00:02:22,360 –> 00:02:27,400
Federal High Court declared my extraordinary rendition and detension as unconstitutional,

39
00:02:27,960 –> 00:02:31,000
stating that the manner of arrest and the tension of

40
00:02:31,039 –> 00:02:35,199
the applicants Mazi in Namdi Kanu in Kenya, his continued

41
00:02:35,240 –> 00:02:39,039
detention in Abuja, his subjection to physical and mental trauma

42
00:02:39,039 –> 00:02:42,599
by the respondents, the inhuman and the grading treatment meted

43
00:02:42,680 –> 00:02:45,199
out to the applicants amounts to a brazen violation of

44
00:02:45,240 –> 00:02:47,520
the applicants from the mental right to dignity of his

45
00:02:47,639 –> 00:02:50,599
person and threat to life under Section thirty four one

46
00:02:50,680 –> 00:02:53,719
A of the nineteen ninety nine Constitution of the Federal

47
00:02:53,759 –> 00:02:58,360
Republic of Nigeria, as amended. The court further ordered the

48
00:02:58,400 –> 00:03:02,000
Federal government to appolloze to me and pay me compensation.

49
00:03:02,960 –> 00:03:06,680
In a responsible and well ordered society run by a

50
00:03:06,759 –> 00:03:10,960
responsible government. This judgment is sufficient to have ended my

51
00:03:11,120 –> 00:03:15,479
lentent detention and encouraged the Federal Government to constructively engage

52
00:03:15,479 –> 00:03:18,719
me on the issue of the self determination agitation that

53
00:03:18,879 –> 00:03:23,360
triggered this whole Saga three pedaled back to the thirteenth

54
00:03:23,400 –> 00:03:26,280
of October twenty twenty two, when the Court of Appeal

55
00:03:26,319 –> 00:03:29,800
held that the courts must never shy away from calling

56
00:03:29,840 –> 00:03:32,840
the executive to order when the result to acts of

57
00:03:33,159 –> 00:03:37,360
executive lawlessness, The duty of the cults is to maintain

58
00:03:37,439 –> 00:03:40,599
a balance between ensuring that law and order is obed

59
00:03:40,719 –> 00:03:44,280
and the protection of the individual from oppressive actions by

60
00:03:44,319 –> 00:03:49,400
the executive. By the forcible abduction and extraordinary rendition of

61
00:03:49,439 –> 00:03:53,319
the appellant, Mazi In Nadikani from Kenya to this country

62
00:03:53,360 –> 00:03:56,199
on the twenty seventh day of June twenty twenty one,

63
00:03:56,680 –> 00:04:00,599
in violation of international and state laws, the our court,

64
00:04:00,719 –> 00:04:03,560
or indeed any court in this country is diversita of

65
00:04:03,639 –> 00:04:08,800
jurisdiction to entertain charges against the appellant. Despite the clarity

66
00:04:08,879 –> 00:04:12,680
of those judgments and its compartments with reason, the Federal

67
00:04:13,520 –> 00:04:16,680
government refused to release me from the tension while it

68
00:04:16,800 –> 00:04:20,120
went behind closed does and collided with three other justices

69
00:04:20,160 –> 00:04:23,160
of the Court of Appeal who fraudulently and swiftly sat

70
00:04:23,199 –> 00:04:26,399
on appeal over the judgment and practically destroyed it by

71
00:04:26,480 –> 00:04:31,399
issuing what determed a stay of execution. One may then ask,

72
00:04:31,959 –> 00:04:34,560
is it not abominable for a court to stay a

73
00:04:34,680 –> 00:04:39,360
judgment the government already disobeyed. In a pletara of cases,

74
00:04:39,720 –> 00:04:43,000
the Supreme Court has held that anybody in who disobeys

75
00:04:43,040 –> 00:04:46,480
a related court order cannot be given any judicial relief

76
00:04:46,600 –> 00:04:50,439
until such order is obeed. This is a sound reasoning

77
00:04:50,519 –> 00:04:54,240
that applied to everybody, but is fraudulently overlooked when it

78
00:04:54,319 –> 00:04:58,600
comes to my case. Far fast forward to the fifteenth

79
00:04:58,639 –> 00:05:02,000
of December twenty twenty three, when the Supreme Court sent

80
00:05:02,120 –> 00:05:04,639
back my case to the Federal High Court for trial

81
00:05:05,439 –> 00:05:09,000
for avoidance of doubt. That was not the only decision

82
00:05:09,120 –> 00:05:13,040
the Supreme Court met. It also decided that my will

83
00:05:13,120 –> 00:05:15,439
should not have been revoked, and it went on to

84
00:05:15,560 –> 00:05:19,879
state clearly that the judge exhibited significant and unacceptable bias

85
00:05:19,959 –> 00:05:24,680
by revoking my bill in essense society, one would expect

86
00:05:24,720 –> 00:05:27,439
that when the High Court received my case from the

87
00:05:27,480 –> 00:05:30,959
Supreme Court and hankered down for trial, it was also

88
00:05:31,040 –> 00:05:33,319
due to bound to restore my will in line with

89
00:05:33,399 –> 00:05:37,639
the pronouncement of the Apex Court. But that did not happen.

90
00:05:38,199 –> 00:05:41,800
Why while your guesses as good mind, and that is,

91
00:05:42,279 –> 00:05:45,279
the court connived with the Federal Government to continue my

92
00:05:45,360 –> 00:05:48,959
detention in violation of Section two hundred and eighty seven

93
00:05:49,040 –> 00:05:52,319
of the Nigerian Constitution, while the plot to railroad me

94
00:05:52,480 –> 00:05:57,480
through an unfair trial that already has a predetermined verdict. Five.

95
00:05:57,800 –> 00:06:01,360
On the twenty fourth of September twenty twenty four, I

96
00:06:01,519 –> 00:06:04,600
decided that I have had enough of taking my chances

97
00:06:04,639 –> 00:06:08,000
of getting justice from a judge that in June twenty

98
00:06:08,120 –> 00:06:12,399
twenty one sent me to secret police detention without fair hearing,

99
00:06:12,959 –> 00:06:16,120
later refused to transford me to prison to better prepare

100
00:06:16,160 –> 00:06:18,839
for my trial and count it all by refusing to

101
00:06:18,879 –> 00:06:22,399
restore my bill and instead ordered an accelerated trial in

102
00:06:22,439 –> 00:06:24,920
the furse of the reality that I will never get

103
00:06:24,959 –> 00:06:28,879
a full trial. Whilst the ten at the dess these

104
00:06:28,920 –> 00:06:32,199
are the major reasons that compelled me to request recusal

105
00:06:32,279 –> 00:06:35,600
of the judge, and having consented to it, she proceeded

106
00:06:35,600 –> 00:06:39,279
to make an order removing herself from my case. That

107
00:06:39,560 –> 00:06:43,560
order was never challenged on appeal, thus it remains extant

108
00:06:43,600 –> 00:06:46,959
to this day. But instead of the Chief Judge of

109
00:06:47,000 –> 00:06:49,560
the Federal High Court to do the lawful thing by

110
00:06:49,600 –> 00:06:52,879
assigning my kids to another judge, he collided with the

111
00:06:52,920 –> 00:06:55,720
Federal government to eat crow and send my kids to

112
00:06:55,759 –> 00:06:59,560
a judge that stands recused by a valid order. To

113
00:06:59,639 –> 00:07:03,079
conclude this open later, let me make it clear that

114
00:07:03,240 –> 00:07:05,680
it should in no way be construed to mean that

115
00:07:05,839 –> 00:07:08,720
there are non descent judges in Nigeria that can be

116
00:07:08,800 –> 00:07:12,959
trusted to deliver even handed justice in my case. That

117
00:07:13,240 –> 00:07:16,680
is not the issue. Instead, the issue is that my

118
00:07:16,839 –> 00:07:20,439
case is deliberately being showldn from judges and justices that

119
00:07:20,600 –> 00:07:23,480
are deal to be committed to doing justice, even when

120
00:07:23,480 –> 00:07:27,199
it means that the Federal government must lose. Be that

121
00:07:27,439 –> 00:07:30,040
as it may. If it will take the rest of

122
00:07:30,079 –> 00:07:32,759
my life in the tension to produce me before a

123
00:07:32,879 –> 00:07:37,040
proper and impartial court, so be it. But let me

124
00:07:37,160 –> 00:07:39,759
say this for the world to know. I will not

125
00:07:39,839 –> 00:07:43,240
succumb to any trial conductor by any judge or court

126
00:07:43,279 –> 00:07:48,920
whose jurisdiction does not pass constitutional muster, not now, not ever.

127
00:07:49,480 –> 00:07:53,360
Thank you all. Signed by Mazi in Nambikanu. Then ter

128
00:07:53,560 –> 00:07:57,959
the fourteenth of February twenty twenty five, we had reported

129
00:07:58,040 –> 00:08:00,959
that Justice winter In Yako of Federal High Court in

130
00:08:01,000 –> 00:08:04,839
Abuja has adjoined indefinitely after the detened Leader of Indigenous

131
00:08:04,879 –> 00:08:08,800
People of Bafra ApoB Namdi Kandu, has seen in a

132
00:08:08,879 –> 00:08:13,079
privileged video footage during February ten, twenty twenty five court session,

133
00:08:13,639 –> 00:08:17,439
staged a resistance protest in system while confronting the George

134
00:08:17,439 –> 00:08:22,399
first to first, including the prosecuting Council Ademuega Awamoluda. Justice Minta,

135
00:08:22,399 –> 00:08:25,720
who is an indigen of Katsila State, samested with former

136
00:08:25,759 –> 00:08:31,160
President Muhammadu Buhari, is biased, saying Justice in Yakohu had

137
00:08:31,240 –> 00:08:34,720
held a political position of Katsina State Attorney General and

138
00:08:34,759 –> 00:08:37,360
Commissioner of Justice, that her court is not a court

139
00:08:37,399 –> 00:08:40,759
of love but a shrine of injustice, accusing the judge

140
00:08:40,799 –> 00:08:43,919
of Pope nosing with authorities to pass wrong judgment against

141
00:08:43,960 –> 00:08:45,720
him in order to be left of the hole by

142
00:08:45,720 –> 00:08:49,639
the federal government. Has son Abdullah sis In Yako and

143
00:08:49,679 –> 00:08:53,399
her husband, retired Vice Admiral Motala In Yakohu was once

144
00:08:53,480 –> 00:08:57,600
Chief of Normal Staff, Deputy Chief of Defense Staff, pioneer,

145
00:08:57,679 –> 00:09:01,200
former military governor of Nija States, two times Governor of

146
00:09:01,240 –> 00:09:04,240
Adamawa States, who were impeached twice by Adamawa States House

147
00:09:04,279 –> 00:09:07,519
of Assembly for misconduct. One of the soldiers that fought

148
00:09:07,519 –> 00:09:11,200
against Biafland during Nigeria Civil War. A current member of

149
00:09:11,200 –> 00:09:14,720
the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, who is first in

150
00:09:14,799 –> 00:09:18,320
corruption charges alongside his son in a criminal allegation filed

151
00:09:18,360 –> 00:09:21,279
before court of lasses twenty fifteen by the Economic and

152
00:09:21,399 –> 00:09:25,840
Financial Crimes Commission E SAC over alleged cases of abuse

153
00:09:25,879 –> 00:09:31,080
of office, criminal conspiracy, taft and money lundering. We had

154
00:09:31,159 –> 00:09:35,039
October twenty twenty four reported that the Chief George of

155
00:09:35,120 –> 00:09:39,240
Federal High Court in Nigeria, Justice John Tarhama Somo, has

156
00:09:39,279 –> 00:09:42,080
rejected the verbal plea by the the ten Indigenous People

157
00:09:42,120 –> 00:09:46,080
of Biafa HYPOP leader in Namikando for the trial judge

158
00:09:46,080 –> 00:09:49,200
in the case, Justice winter In Yako, to withdraw being

159
00:09:49,279 –> 00:09:53,759
the judge over the lawsuits. Justice Soho stated that Canon’s

160
00:09:53,799 –> 00:09:56,559
case was reassigned to Justice in Yako due to its

161
00:09:56,600 –> 00:10:01,159
prolonged nature, then turned back to twenty fifteen. Given that

162
00:10:01,399 –> 00:10:04,399
Justice in Yakov had handled the case for the most part,

163
00:10:04,840 –> 00:10:07,440
she was deemed the most suitable judge to see it

164
00:10:07,559 –> 00:10:12,320
through to its conclusion. However, the Chief George directed that

165
00:10:12,440 –> 00:10:15,679
if at the next hearing of the case, Krlo still

166
00:10:15,679 –> 00:10:19,480
insists on recusing Justice in Yako, he must file a

167
00:10:19,480 –> 00:10:23,320
written motion with an affidavit stating all the grounds for

168
00:10:23,399 –> 00:10:28,080
requesting the recusal. We had reported in September twenty twenty

169
00:10:28,120 –> 00:10:30,960
four that Justice winter In Yako of Federal High Court

170
00:10:31,000 –> 00:10:33,519
sitting in Abuja has withdrawn from the case of the

171
