million people, after disputed and chaotic elections that saw the

53
00:03:32,199 –> 00:03:36,879
two main opposition parties barred from participating. Protests over the

54
00:03:36,879 –> 00:03:40,479
disputed Tanzania election entered the fourth day on Saturday, with

55
00:03:40,520 –> 00:03:45,639
the protesters defying military deployment. Massive crowds earlier on Thursday

56
00:03:45,759 –> 00:03:49,840
gathered at the Dares Salam International Airport in Tanzania, apparently

57
00:03:49,919 –> 00:03:53,400
to prevent members of the political elites from fleeing the country.

58
00:03:54,120 –> 00:03:57,599
It was gathered that in Dares Salam, a six pm

twenty twenty one. Sixteen smaller opposition candidates also appeared on

67
00:04:32,680 –> 00:04:36,439
the ballot. Al Jazeera had reported on Friday that the

68
00:04:36,480 –> 00:04:40,279
Tanzania’s main opposition party has claimed that hundreds of people

69
00:04:40,360 –> 00:04:44,279
have been killed in protests following this week’s disputed elections,

70
00:04:44,639 –> 00:04:48,480
while the United Nations says it has credible reports. At

71
00:04:48,560 –> 00:04:52,160
least ten people died as we speak. The number of

72
00:04:52,199 –> 00:04:54,879
deaths in Dar s Salam is around three hundred and

73
00:04:54,959 –> 00:04:57,519
fifty and there are more than two hundred in Wansa.

74
00:04:58,040 –> 00:05:02,920
Chademer Party spokesperson Joon Quitoka told the AFP news agency

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

103
00:07:06,399 –> 00:07:10,759
Commonwealth and Development Office f CEO, has advised that a

104
00:07:10,839 –> 00:07:14,759
RuSHA Airport and Kilimanjaro International Airport are closed and that

105
00:07:14,800 –> 00:07:18,959
most international flights turned from Julius Nireri International Airport in

106
00:07:19,079 –> 00:07:22,800
Da Slam have been canceled due to ongoing political unrest

107
00:07:22,839 –> 00:07:33,199
and a strict curfew in Tanzaniaedi Quindi Ingi Kingsley Conuntakru,

108
00:07:33,560 –> 00:07:36,680
the younger brother to Marzi Namdicano, in an ex post,

109
00:07:36,720 –> 00:07:39,959
has reshared by barrister A lawyer G. McCaw, the co

110
00:07:40,120 –> 00:07:45,279
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

119
00:08:17,079 –> 00:08:21,360
stated in reaction to the commentary of doctor Samamadi published

120
00:08:21,360 –> 00:08:24,360
on This Day newspaper. After the detained leader of the

121
00:08:24,399 –> 00:08:29,199
Indigenous People of Biafra Nandi Kru on Monday abandoned his

122
00:08:29,279 –> 00:08:32,720
earlier plan to call witnesses in his ongoing trial before

123
00:08:32,759 –> 00:08:36,679
the Federal High Court in Abuja. Nandi Karu, who is

124
00:08:36,759 –> 00:08:40,559
being prosecuted on seven counts of terrorism charges brought against

125
00:08:40,639 –> 00:08:44,559
him by the federal government last two Friday, had prayed

126
00:08:44,559 –> 00:08:47,679
the court for an adjournment after informing the trial Judge,

127
00:08:48,039 –> 00:08:51,799
Justice James Armatosho that his former legal team, led by

128
00:08:51,840 –> 00:08:55,399
a former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice,

129
00:08:55,720 –> 00:08:59,159
Chief Kannu Agabi San, had yet to release his case

130
00:08:59,200 –> 00:09:03,399
file to him. Though Nandi Carnu had earlier expressed his

131
00:09:03,519 –> 00:09:06,639
readiness to open his defense in a written application to

132
00:09:06,679 –> 00:09:09,759
the court in which he indicated his intention to call

133
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
00:09:59,759 –> 00:10:03,559
adol auction of final written addresses based either on Carnu’s

147
00:10:03,559 –> 00:10:06,559
position that no case had been established against him, or

148
00:10:06,600 –> 00:10:09,879
for him to proceed with his defense if he decides otherwise,

149
00:10:10,720 –> 00:10:14,759
Kingsley can under Carlu’s statement, as recirculated by Barrister alloy

150
00:10:14,840 –> 00:10:20,279
Egimcor on Thursday, tagged legal rejoinder to the misleading commentary

151
00:10:20,320 –> 00:10:23,759
by doctor Samamadi published in This Day of the thirtieth

152
00:10:23,799 –> 00:10:27,840
of October twenty twenty five titled If I were Carnu,

153
00:10:28,159 –> 00:10:31,159
I would not refuse to write a defense stated as

154
00:10:31,200 –> 00:10:37,399
follows below one introduction correcting a misguided narrative the recent

155
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

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

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
00:12:57,720 –> 00:13:00,720
A person shall not be convicted of a criminal offense

187
00:13:00,840 –> 00:13:03,919
unless that offense is defined in the penalty therefore is

188
00:13:04,000 –> 00:13:09,440
prescribed in a written law. The present charge fhc abj

00:13:49,559 –> 00:13:53,679
and Counts one two six. Alleging acts in Kenya have

199
00:13:53,799 –> 00:13:58,799
no validation under section seventy six one d Roman Figure

200
00:13:58,799 –> 00:14:03,399
three TPP tw twenty two, which mandates that the alleged

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 –> 00:15:34,480
void ab initiosa.

Speaker 2: Lady quindi Ugnimojsali.

223
00:15:36,799 –> 00:15:40,799
Speaker 1: President Bola Ahmed Tenubu of Nigeria has issued a revised

224
00:15:40,840 –> 00:15:44,720
policy actions over the twenty twenty five presidential pardons he

225
00:15:44,799 –> 00:15:48,679
had earlier granted to one hundred and seventy five persons,

226
00:15:48,720 –> 00:15:52,919
some of whom were convicted murderers, deadly kidnappers, which included

227
00:15:52,960 –> 00:15:56,240
Mariam Sander, who had spent barely six years and eight

228
00:15:56,320 –> 00:15:59,840
months at the Selegia Medium Security Custodial Center after she

229
00:16:00,000 –> 00:16:03,360
he was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging over

230
00:16:03,399 –> 00:16:07,440
the killing of her husband, Billyamnubelo in Abuja, who she

231
00:16:07,480 –> 00:16:12,200
stabbed three times repeatedly. This President Bola Ahmed Tanubu in

232
00:16:12,279 –> 00:16:16,240
his earlier presidential pardon granted to the thirty seven years

233
00:16:16,320 –> 00:16:20,519
old convicted and condemned murderer Mariam Sander, had asked her

234
00:16:20,519 –> 00:16:24,120
to go home free because of her children, but following

235
00:16:24,159 –> 00:16:27,639
public outcry and condemnation, in the revised version of the

236
00:16:27,639 –> 00:16:31,759
presidential Pardons signed into law on October twenty first, twenty

237
00:16:31,840 –> 00:16:34,799
twenty five and made available to the public by the

238
00:16:34,840 –> 00:16:39,840
Presidency on Wednesday, October twenty ninth, twenty twenty five, President

239
00:16:39,879 –> 00:16:44,159
Tanubu commuted the death sentence to twelve years imprisonment. Although

240
00:16:44,480 –> 00:16:47,879
the presidency never mentioned the total numbers of people granted

241
00:16:47,919 –> 00:16:52,360
the presidential pardons, but the list of beneficiaries made available

242
00:16:52,480 –> 00:16:57,200
by the presidential spokesperson, BeO on Aanuga, indicated that only

243
00:16:57,240 –> 00:17:01,919
eighty six persons were granted the presidentials and Mariam Sander

244
00:17:01,919 –> 00:17:05,039
apparently spelt as Mariam Sunder was last on the list,

245
00:17:05,359 –> 00:17:09,039
and the names of earlier beneficiaries like Kelvin Prosper Oneara

246
00:17:09,440 –> 00:17:11,640
were not seen in the revised edition of the list.

247
00:17:11,960 –> 00:17:15,480
Maybe the names were omitted due to excessive public outcry

248
00:17:15,519 –> 00:17:19,759
that Prosper Kelvin Oneara was a convicted, notorious, high profile

249
00:17:19,880 –> 00:17:22,880
gang leader of a deadly kidnapping group that were widely

250
00:17:22,960 –> 00:17:26,599

twenty fourth, twenty thirteen along Beneauchi Road, and during the

254
00:17:38,880 –> 00:17:43,079
kidnapping operation, the government ambushed and killed four police officers,

255
00:17:43,200 –> 00:17:47,279
including the Divisional Police Officer DPO of Ahor Division who

256
00:17:47,359 –> 00:17:50,559
led the police team in an attempt to rescue Mike Oseekome.

257
00:17:51,079 –> 00:17:54,519
Outside that, the forty four years old Oneara was also

258
00:17:54,640 –> 00:17:57,799
stated to be responsible for the kidnapping of a judge

259
00:17:57,799 –> 00:18:01,359
in the Edo State Judiciary, top female official of the

260
00:18:01,400 –> 00:18:06,000
Federal Inland Revenue Service FIRS, among other several members of

261
00:18:06,039 –> 00:18:10,599
the National Youth Service Corps NYSC and security agents, and

262
00:18:10,720 –> 00:18:14,519
Oneara was also stated to carry out several armed robberies

263
00:18:14,559 –> 00:18:19,240
and kidnap operations in Delta, Heado Rivers and Anambra States,

community in Delta State, Ugbucolo community in Benewe State, Bernin

266
00:18:28,960 –> 00:18:32,599
City in Edo State and Aberinabia State. That on the

267
00:18:32,640 –> 00:18:36,880
eighteenth of September twenty thirteen, Oneara issued a sixty day

268
00:18:37,039 –> 00:18:40,640
ultimatum to the Federal Government of Nigeria to release some

269
00:18:40,720 –> 00:18:43,359

271
00:18:48,839 –> 00:18:52,400
And on the twenty fifth of September twenty thirteen, a

00:18:52,400 –> 00:18:56,440
combined security team of the Nigerian Army and DSS operatives

273

of the security agencies, and he was subsequently sentenced to

276
00:19:08,319 –> 00:19:11,640
twenty years imprisonment, which he had spent twelve years in

277
00:19:11,680 –> 00:19:15,519
prison before President Bola Ahmed Tanubu had initially made an

278
00:19:15,559 –> 00:19:19,519
attempt to release him. Details of the three press releases

279
00:19:19,559 –> 00:19:22,160
issued by the Presidency in the course of the twenty

280
00:19:22,279 –> 00:19:26,720
twenty five presidential pardons that elicited public outcry and rejections

281
00:19:27,079 –> 00:19:30,079
are presented verbatim in a descending order of latest to

282
00:19:30,119 –> 00:19:35,240
former below. President Tanubu signs instrument of clemency and pardons

283
00:19:35,720 –> 00:19:39,480
moved Secretariat of Prerogative of Mercy Committee to Justice Ministry.

284
00:19:40,200 –> 00:19:45,960
President Bola Ahmed Tanubu GCFR has executed the relevant instruments

285
00:19:46,000 –> 00:19:49,920
of release to complete the process of formally exercising his

286
00:19:50,079 –> 00:19:53,799
constitutional power of Prerogative of Mercy to grant pardon and

287
00:19:53,839 –> 00:19:58,519
clemency to specific individuals who were earlier convicted for various offenses.

288
00:19:59,359 –> 00:20:02,680
Following co insultations with the Council of State and Public

289
00:20:02,720 –> 00:20:06,039
Opinion on the matter, the President directed a further review

290
00:20:06,079 –> 00:20:09,559
of the initially approved list for consideration in furtherance of

291
00:20:09,599 –> 00:20:13,640
the President’s discretionary powers under Section one seventy five one

292
00:20:13,839 –> 00:20:19,400
and two of the nineteen ninety nine Constitution as amended. Consequently,

293
00:20:19,839 –> 00:20:24,200
certain persons convicted of serious crimes, such as kidnapping, drug

294
00:20:24,240 –> 00:20:29,799
related offenses, human trafficking, fraud, a lawful possession of firearms,

295
00:20:30,000 –> 00:20:34,160
arms dealing, et cetera. Were deleted from the list. Others

296
00:20:34,200 –> 00:20:36,839
who had been hitherto pardoned in the old list had

297
00:20:36,920 –> 00:20:41,200
their sentences commuted. This action became necessary in view of

298
00:20:41,240 –> 00:20:45,039
the seriousness and security implications of some of the offenses,

299
00:20:45,440 –> 00:20:47,480
the need to be sensitive to the feelings of the

300
00:20:47,559 –> 00:20:50,720
victims of the crimes and society in general. The need

301
00:20:50,759 –> 00:20:54,160
to boost the morale of law enforcement agencies and adherents

302
00:20:54,200 –> 00:20:58,279
to bilateral obligations. The concept of justice as a three

303
00:20:58,279 –> 00:21:01,599
way traffic for the accused, the victim, and the state.

304
00:21:01,839 –> 00:21:06,039
Society also guided the review. The approved list of eligible

305
00:21:06,079 –> 00:21:10,160
beneficiaries has been transmitted to the Nigerian Correctional Service for

306
00:21:10,240 –> 00:21:15,359
implementation in line with the duly signed instruments of release. Furthermore,

307
00:21:15,680 –> 00:21:20,279
to ensure that future exercises meet public expectations and best practices,

308
00:21:20,680 –> 00:21:24,440
the President has directed the immediate relocation of the Secretariat

309
00:21:24,440 –> 00:21:28,119
of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Prerogative of Mercy from

310
00:21:28,160 –> 00:21:31,519
the Federal Ministry of Special Duties to the Federal Ministry

311
00:21:31,519 –> 00:21:36,119
of Justice. President Tanubu also directed the Attorney General of

312
00:21:36,160 –> 00:21:39,960
the Federation to issue appropriate guidelines for the exercise of

313
00:21:40,039 –> 00:21:44,240
the power of Prerogative of mercy, which includes compulsory consultation

314
00:21:44,400 –> 00:21:48,960
with relevant prosecuting agencies. This will ensure that only persons

315
00:21:49,000 –> 00:21:52,640
who fully meet the stipulated legal and procedural requirements will

316
00:21:52,680 –> 00:21:56,920
henceforth benefit from the issuance of instruments of release. The

317
00:21:56,920 –> 00:22:01,440
President appreciated the constructive feedback and in gagement from stakeholders

318
00:22:01,440 –> 00:22:05,480
and the general public on this matter. President Tanubu also

319
00:22:05,559 –> 00:22:09,480
reaffirmed his administrations brought a commitment to judicial reforms and

320
00:22:09,559 –> 00:22:15,079
improving the administration of justice in Nigeria. Signed Bao on Anuga,

The Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and

325
00:22:32,359 –> 00:22:35,799
Minister of Justice wishes to clarify that no inmate approof

326
00:22:35,880 –> 00:22:39,319
for clemency under the recent exercise of the President’s power

327
00:22:39,359 –> 00:22:43,319
of Prerogative of Mercy has been released from custody. The

328
00:22:43,400 –> 00:22:47,440
process remains at the final administrative stage. Which includes a

329
00:22:47,480 –> 00:22:50,680
stand in review to ensure that all names and recommendations

330
00:22:50,720 –> 00:22:54,839
fully comply with established legal and procedural requirements before any

331
00:22:54,880 –> 00:22:58,680
instrument of release is issued. It is important to note

332
00:22:58,680 –> 00:23:02,000
that the last stage of the exercise after approval by

333
00:23:02,000 –> 00:23:04,839
the Council of State, is the issuance of the instrument

334
00:23:04,920 –> 00:23:09,240
for the implementation of the decision concerning each beneficiary. This

335
00:23:09,319 –> 00:23:12,119
stage affords an opportunity for a final look at the

336
00:23:12,160 –> 00:23:16,119
list for immedial purposes if any, before the instrument is

337

779
00:55:40,760 –> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 2: Five, Possasolaedi Quindi Unimogsali.

780
00:55:48,360 –> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: Human rights lawyer Barrister Jefferson nua Heren has condemned and

781
00:55:52,519 –> 00:55:55,960
berated the Federal Government of Nigeria under the presidency of

782
00:55:56,000 –> 00:56:00,760
Bola Ahmed Tanubu for arresting, detaining and remanding to Juja prison.

783
00:56:01,000 –> 00:56:04,440
Barrister A Lawyergie McCaw, the lawyer to the detained Biafra

784
00:56:04,559 –> 00:56:09,360
Republic Agitation leader Marzi Namdykanu after a Lawyergie Mccaor was

785
00:56:09,400 –> 00:56:13,800
seen joining the free Namdi Carlou protest in Abuja on Monday.

786
00:56:14,119 –> 00:56:18,079
According to the human rights lawyer who have remarkable experience

787
00:56:18,239 –> 00:56:22,559
in fighting against police extra judicial killing, one notable exception

788
00:56:23,039 –> 00:56:25,480
is that a lawyer enjoys less freedom than others to

789
00:56:25,480 –> 00:56:28,719
speak publicly about his or her own cases, but not

790
00:56:28,800 –> 00:56:32,280
when it involves solidarity marches and protests for his client.

791
00:56:32,719 –> 00:56:35,639
The conducts of lawyers and the limit of their professional

792
00:56:35,719 –> 00:56:38,599
duties is the kennel of the alarming accusation by the

793
00:56:38,639 –> 00:56:42,440
Presidency yesterday against the lawyer of mister Namdi Kanu and

794
00:56:42,480 –> 00:56:45,440
his subsequent arrest by the police for his presence at

795
00:56:45,440 –> 00:56:49,320
a scene in Abuja where protesters were marching peacefully demanding

796
00:56:49,400 –> 00:56:52,719
the release of mister Kannu. The statement from the Presidency

797
00:56:52,760 –> 00:56:56,360
and the police action is obviously a culmination of undisguised

798
00:56:56,400 –> 00:56:59,880
hostility towards the lawyer for having the temerity to represent

799
00:57:00,199 –> 00:57:04,039
person the government have since prosecuted and convicted in the

800
00:57:04,039 –> 00:57:08,280
court of public opinions. Ordinarily, a lawyer’s bail application for

801
00:57:08,320 –> 00:57:12,039
alleged crime of a legal protest won’t be refused. The

802
00:57:12,119 –> 00:57:15,280
refusal is concerning and turning a simple matter into a

803
00:57:15,280 –> 00:57:19,679
political case of vendetta and persecution. BeO on Anuga, the

804
00:57:19,719 –> 00:57:23,280
Special Advisor to the President on Information and Strategy, had

805
00:57:23,320 –> 00:57:26,559
on Monday tweeted while the Free Namdi Canoo protest was

806
00:57:26,599 –> 00:57:31,519
ongoing that I spotted a Lawyergie McCaw, one of Nandikardu’s lawyers,

807
00:57:31,840 –> 00:57:35,320
among the small group of protesters mobilized in Abouja by

808
00:57:35,400 –> 00:57:39,360
Omielee Sware. I wonder what mister Eggie McCall was thinking

809
00:57:39,440 –> 00:57:43,159
when he decided to join this shambalic protest. As a lawyer,

810
00:57:43,360 –> 00:57:45,920
he should be aware of the principle of sub judicy,

811
00:57:46,360 –> 00:57:50,440
particularly in relation to the ongoing treason case before the court.

812
00:57:50,840 –> 00:57:54,159
The prosecution has concluded its case and it is now

813
00:57:54,199 –> 00:57:57,559
incumbent upon mister Eggie mccaor and the other lawyers to

814
00:57:57,679 –> 00:58:01,079
mount a strong defense for Kru. Rather than focusing on

815
00:58:01,199 –> 00:58:04,920
preparing a strong case, mister Eggie mccor has resorted to

816
00:58:05,000 –> 00:58:10,400
extra legal tactics, joining a career anarchist to influence the process. Meanwhile,

817
00:58:10,679 –> 00:58:13,960
few hours ago, the organizer of the protest and the

818
00:58:14,000 –> 00:58:18,519
founder of Sahara reporters news media. Omiyele Saware stated via

819
00:58:18,599 –> 00:58:21,960
his social media accounts that we have been informed that

820
00:58:22,079 –> 00:58:25,159
plans are allegedly in place of Kuja Prison to harm

821
00:58:25,239 –> 00:58:28,599
Namdi KNU’s younger brother, Fine Boy and a lawyer Gi

822
00:58:28,679 –> 00:58:33,320
mccor his special council inside Kuja Prison by special warders

823
00:58:33,360 –> 00:58:38,079
assigned by the Aswaju bolahamed to Nubu. Beyo Onenuga in

824
00:58:38,119 –> 00:58:41,760
the tweet, demanded a snagtion against Barrister a Layegi mccor

825
00:58:41,880 –> 00:58:45,159
for joining the protest calling for the release of his client,

826
00:58:45,480 –> 00:58:50,400
Namdi Krnu. Accordingly, BeO on Aanuga said, I spotted a

827
00:58:50,480 –> 00:58:54,599
Lawyergi mccor, one of Namdi Carlo’s lawyers, among the small

828
00:58:54,639 –> 00:58:59,039
group of protesters mobilized in Abuja by Omilea Saware. I

829
00:58:59,159 –> 00:59:02,360
wonder what mister Egiemacor was thinking when he decided to

830
00:59:02,519 –> 00:59:06,400
join this shambalic protest. As a lawyer, he should be

831
00:59:06,400 –> 00:59:10,079
aware of the principle of sub judicy, particularly in relation

832
00:59:10,239 –> 00:59:14,239
to the ongoing treason case before the court. The prosecution

833
00:59:14,440 –> 00:59:17,639
has concluded its case and it is now incumbent upon

834
00:59:17,760 –> 00:59:21,400
mister Egimacor and the other lawyers to mount a strong

835
00:59:21,480 –> 00:59:26,000
defense for Carno. Rather than focusing on preparing a strong case,

836
00:59:26,440 –> 00:59:30,639
mister Eggiemacow has resorted to extra legal tactics, joining a

837
00:59:30,679 –> 00:59:35,920
career anarchist to influence the process. Egiemacou’s action questions his

838
00:59:36,000 –> 00:59:41,239
adherents to professional ethics. Legal authorities should consider appropriate sanctions

839
00:59:41,280 –> 00:59:45,920
for the unethical conduct of the bearded lawyer. Reacting, Barrister

840
00:59:46,000 –> 00:59:49,880
Jefferson Wuheren, in a statement signed and made available on Tuesday,

841
00:59:50,719 –> 00:59:55,400
said lawyers generally enjoy constitutional protection for two kinds of

842
00:59:55,440 –> 01:00:00,320
speech like everyone else, though with at least two important exceptions.

843
01:00:00,679 –> 01:00:04,679
Lawyers can criticize government, including the courts and judges, and

844
01:00:04,760 –> 01:00:09,000
speak about public issues, subject to such narrow limitations professional

845
01:00:09,079 –> 01:00:13,320
rules of practice will permit. One notable exception is that

846
01:00:13,360 –> 01:00:16,480
a lawyer enjoys less freedom than others to speak publicly

847
01:00:16,559 –> 01:00:19,760
about his or her own cases, but not when it

848
01:00:19,840 –> 01:00:24,679
involves solidarity marches and protests for his client. The conducts

849
01:00:24,679 –> 01:00:27,519
of lawyers and the limit of their professional duties is

850
01:00:27,559 –> 01:00:31,039
the kennel of the alarming accusation by the Presidency yesterday

851
01:00:31,079 –> 01:00:34,360
against the lawyer of mister Lamdi Kano and his subsequent

852
01:00:34,440 –> 01:00:36,840
arrest by the police for his presence at a scene

853
01:00:36,880 –> 01:00:40,880
in Abuja where protesters were marching peacefully demanding the release

854
01:00:40,920 –> 01:00:44,559
of mister Kano. The statement from the Presidency in the

855
01:00:44,599 –> 01:00:49,159
police action is obviously a culmination of undisguised hostility towards

856
01:00:49,159 –> 01:00:52,079
the lawyer for having the temerity to represent a person

857
01:00:52,159 –> 01:00:55,400
the government have since prosecuted and convicted in the court

858
01:00:55,440 –> 01:00:59,360
of public opinions. This is a deeply concerning assault on

859
01:00:59,480 –> 01:01:03,559
our advert serial legal system and the rights to legal representations.

860
01:01:04,400 –> 01:01:07,800
No matter the severity of the allegations or the repugnancy

861
01:01:07,840 –> 01:01:11,119
of the case, an accused person remains innocent until the

862
01:01:11,159 –> 01:01:15,000
court’s rule. Otherwise, any lawyer who knows his onions on

863
01:01:15,039 –> 01:01:17,679
his suyer knows that there’s no good or bad case

864
01:01:18,079 –> 01:01:22,360
until the final determination of the case. Thus, the first

865
01:01:22,400 –> 01:01:25,079
great duty of an advocate or lawyer is to reckon

866
01:01:25,239 –> 01:01:28,119
or do everything legally possible in the interests of his

867
01:01:28,239 –> 01:01:32,559
client in the discharge of his professional duties. A lawyer

868
01:01:32,639 –> 01:01:34,880
knows but one person in the whole of the world,

869
01:01:34,960 –> 01:01:38,119
and that person is his client. Even if it requires

870
01:01:38,199 –> 01:01:41,599
encouraging protests or protesters who are in sympathy with his

871
01:01:41,719 –> 01:01:44,800
client’s interests or speaking to the press to clarify the

872
01:01:44,840 –> 01:01:49,079
allegations against his client. This is similar in reality and

873
01:01:49,159 –> 01:01:54,480
desperation in capital offense cases. When government determinedly provide the judge,

874
01:01:54,760 –> 01:01:59,320
prosecutor and free turncoat Indoland defense counsels for accused persons,

875
01:01:59,519 –> 01:02:03,679
the government is determined to waste a trinity of conspiracy

876
01:02:03,719 –> 01:02:07,440
and collusion against indigent and poor citizens. To Bayo on

877
01:02:07,480 –> 01:02:12,199
Anuga and other moral ethics schizophrenics, a lawyer’s representation of

878
01:02:12,239 –> 01:02:16,719
a client, including representation by appointment, does not constitute an

879
01:02:16,760 –> 01:02:21,400
endorsement of his client’s political, economic, social, or moral views.

880
01:02:22,199 –> 01:02:25,880
Arresting lawyers or making moral judgments about lawyers because of

881
01:02:25,880 –> 01:02:29,519
the identity of their clients will inevitably impede access to

882
01:02:29,760 –> 01:02:32,920
justice and the availability of lawyers for political descents in

883
01:02:32,960 –> 01:02:38,199
the coming days. Barrister Jefferson Uheren stated the remanded Namdi

884
01:02:38,280 –> 01:02:41,760
Carlu lawyer A lay Hejimkor, in a tweet on Tuesday

885
01:02:42,119 –> 01:02:45,280
said I am safe and sound, but still under custody

886
01:02:45,320 –> 01:02:49,960
at Coujay Prison. The magistrate refused to listen to our submissions.

887
01:02:50,400 –> 01:02:53,719
He insisted on remanding us till Friday and got his way.

888
01:02:54,199 –> 01:02:58,159
For context, keep in mind that they bypassed several magistrate

889
01:02:58,239 –> 01:03:00,840
courts in town and headed to this one in Coujay.

890
01:03:01,559 –> 01:03:05,639
On Monday, Aloyegi mccor had tweeted that We’ve just been

891
01:03:05,719 –> 01:03:10,719
arrested myself, Prince Emmanuel and others. We are at FCT

892
01:03:11,000 –> 01:03:16,400
command Sid myself, fine boy and others Number one Tsaria Street,

893
01:03:16,719 –> 01:03:21,960
Geriki two Avouja. Earlier on Monday, Heggimacor also tweeted that

894
01:03:22,519 –> 01:03:25,440
I’m in front of Transcorp Hilton with a mammoth crowd

895
01:03:25,480 –> 01:03:28,679
that gathered for Marzi Namdi Karno October twentieth and the

896
01:03:28,719 –> 01:03:32,920
police just exploded tear gas. My eyes and throat hurt.

897
01:03:33,320 –> 01:03:37,480
They’re scattering everywhere. Ami Lea Saware on Tuesday stated that

898
01:03:37,920 –> 01:03:41,920
I just learned that illegal IGP car Yode Eggbetoken has

899
01:03:42,000 –> 01:03:46,280
sent Namdi Karanu’s brother and lawyer, Aloyegie McCaw and eleven

900
01:03:46,320 –> 01:03:49,039
others all the way to Coujay magistrate caught to get

901
01:03:49,079 –> 01:03:53,079
them remanded in prison at all costs. Earlier on Monday,

902
01:03:53,360 –> 01:03:58,119
Omiyale Saware said the despicable and illegal Inspector General of

903
01:03:58,159 –> 01:04:02,360
Police Car Yode Eggbeken has ordered the arrest and detention

904
01:04:02,480 –> 01:04:06,679
of thirteen peaceful protesters who participated in today’s Free Namdiicanuno

905
01:04:06,800 –> 01:04:11,719
demonstration in Abouja. Among those detained a Namdikrnu’s lead lawyer,

906
01:04:12,039 –> 01:04:17,480
Aloyegi mcor, Namdi Karnu’s brother, fine Boy Carnu, Barrister Acere,

907
01:04:17,880 –> 01:04:22,199
and ten others whose only crime was exercising their constitutional

908
01:04:22,280 –> 01:04:26,880
right to peaceful protest. Shockingly, the protesters have been taken

909
01:04:26,920 –> 01:04:31,239
to the notorious sas Abatuir Detention and Torture facility in Abouja,

910
01:04:31,639 –> 01:04:35,920
a place long associated with human rights abuses, unlawful detentions

911
01:04:36,159 –> 01:04:40,719
and unspeakable cruelty. Their only offense was standing for justice

912
01:04:40,760 –> 01:04:44,840
and freedom and protesting peacefully. In another post on Monday,

913
01:04:45,159 –> 01:04:49,960
Omilee Saware said, we relocated to the FCT Police Command

914
01:04:49,960 –> 01:04:53,679
today to ensure the unconditional release of Namdi Karnu’s brother,

915
01:04:54,079 –> 01:04:58,320
Fine Boy, his lawyer, Barrister Aloyegie McCaw and eleven others

916
01:04:58,320 –> 01:05:01,079
who were arrested and tortured for parts anticipating in Free

917
01:05:01,119 –> 01:05:05,840
Namdicanuno peaceful protest. While we were there, we commenced another

918
01:05:05,880 –> 01:05:09,320
phase of our protest and the police responded by attacking

919
01:05:09,400 –> 01:05:12,679
us right in front of the command. We were informed

920
01:05:12,679 –> 01:05:16,320
that the illegal Inspector General of Police, car Yode Eggbetoken,

921
01:05:16,400 –> 01:05:21,280
requested that they be interviewed and possibly detained. This will

922
01:05:21,320 –> 01:05:25,519
not stand. On Tuesday evening, Amiele Saware stated in a

923
01:05:25,559 –> 01:05:29,880
statement that lawyers representing barrister aloy Ejima Kor and his

924
01:05:29,960 –> 01:05:34,760
brother Emmanuel fine Boy Carnu filed a bail application to

925
01:05:34,880 –> 01:05:37,599
day at the Federal High Court in Abouja following their

926
01:05:37,679 –> 01:05:42,400
unlawful arrest during the Free Namdicanuno protest. However, in a

927
01:05:42,400 –> 01:05:46,639
blatant display of bad faith, police prosecutors reportedly refused to

928
01:05:46,719 –> 01:05:50,400
accept service of the court summons delivered by court bailiffs,

929
01:05:50,440 –> 01:05:53,800
an intentional move to frustrate and delay the bail process.

930
01:05:54,599 –> 01:05:57,519
Today we also found out they were so desperate that

931
01:05:57,599 –> 01:06:02,079
they thought a lay for Aliu Today. We proceeded to

932
01:06:02,119 –> 01:06:06,239
the Couja Magistrate Court where the Nigeria Police Force, under

933
01:06:06,239 –> 01:06:10,760
the leadership of illegal ig P Kyode Eggbetoken, hastily arraigned

934
01:06:10,800 –> 01:06:15,159
Andy Carlo’s League Council Alloy Ergi mccor, his brother fine

935
01:06:15,159 –> 01:06:20,199
Boy and eleven others. However, the magistrate had already remanded

936
01:06:20,239 –> 01:06:24,119
them in Couja prison until Friday before their attorneys arrived

937
01:06:24,159 –> 01:06:25,719
at the Magistrate’s.

938
01:06:25,119 –> 01:06:30,199
Speaker 2: Court Quindi Uni.

939
01:06:32,280 –> 01:06:36,480
Speaker 1: Nigeria Police Force NPF, under the leadership of the Inspector

940
01:06:36,599 –> 01:06:40,280
General of Police ig P, car Yode Egbetoken, who is

941
01:06:40,320 –> 01:06:45,039
currently in the United States US attending the International Association

942
01:06:45,199 –> 01:06:50,840
of Chiefs of Police IACP annual conference in Denver, Colorado, USA,

943
01:06:51,280 –> 01:06:55,639
alongside other senior police officers, has warned troublemakers to resist

944
01:06:55,679 –> 01:06:59,880
the temptation of hijacking the Free Namdi Carlu protests slated

945
01:07:00,039 –> 01:07:03,079
to hold today across the West Africa country by the

946
01:07:03,239 –> 01:07:06,880
organizers and other group of Nigerians to demand the release

947
01:07:06,920 –> 01:07:11,920
of the detained Biafra Republic Agitation leader Marzi Nandikardu. Also,

948
01:07:12,280 –> 01:07:15,760
the NPF reminded the organizers and the protesters to respect

949
01:07:15,840 –> 01:07:19,039
the Federal High Court order that restricted them from staging

950
01:07:19,079 –> 01:07:22,880
the protest in certain areas in Abuja. Such areas which

951
01:07:22,880 –> 01:07:27,599
included Asso Rockvilla and its environs, the National Assembly Complex,

952
01:07:27,920 –> 01:07:31,679
Force Headquarters, the Court of Appeal, Eagle Square and shoh

953
01:07:31,800 –> 01:07:36,719
Shigari Way. While assuring the protesters of protection, the NPF

954
01:07:36,800 –> 01:07:39,239
in a statement issued and made a Vaila Labe by

955
01:07:39,280 –> 01:07:44,599
the Force spokesperson Benjamin Hundhen indicated that the Nigeria Police

956
01:07:44,679 –> 01:07:48,159
Force reaffirms its unwavering commitment to upholding the rule of

957
01:07:48,280 –> 01:07:52,559
law and maintaining public peace in accordance with constitutional provisions.

958
01:07:53,360 –> 01:07:56,440
This follows the subsisting order of the Federal High Court,

959
01:07:56,760 –> 01:08:00,880
Abuja Division given on the seventeenth of October twenty twenty

960
01:08:00,960 –> 01:08:06,440
five by Honorable Justice MG. Yuma ensued number FHC abj

961
01:08:06,880 –> 01:08:10,599
CS two thousand, two hundred and two two thousand and

962
01:08:10,719 –> 01:08:15,280
twenty fifths Federal Republic of Nigeria versus Army Lee Sware

963
01:08:15,400 –> 01:08:19,159
and four others. The order restrains the respondents and any

964
01:08:19,199 –> 01:08:23,039
other persons or groups acting under their instruction from staging

965
01:08:23,119 –> 01:08:27,039
protests within and around Asso Rockvilla and its environs, the

966
01:08:27,159 –> 01:08:31,720
National Assembly Complex, Force Headquarters, the Court of Appeal, Eagle

967
01:08:31,840 –> 01:08:35,880
Square and Shahu Shigari Way. In deference to the authority

968
01:08:35,920 –> 01:08:38,800
of the Court and in line with the constitutional mandate

969
01:08:38,880 –> 01:08:41,800
of the Police to enforce law and order, the Force

970
01:08:41,840 –> 01:08:44,920
hereby calls on all groups, whether in support of or

971
01:08:44,960 –> 01:08:48,079
opposed to, the ongoing agitation for the release of Marzi

972
01:08:48,159 –> 01:08:51,479
Namdi Kano to adhere strictly to the provisions of the

973
01:08:51,520 –> 01:08:56,199
court order. The directive remains binding and enforcible pending further

974
01:08:56,319 –> 01:09:01,079
judicial proceedings. The Nigeria Police Force recognize and respects the

975
01:09:01,159 –> 01:09:05,880
rights of citizens to peaceful assembly and expression. However, such

976
01:09:06,000 –> 01:09:09,159
rights must be exercised responsibly and within the limits of

977
01:09:09,199 –> 01:09:13,600
the law, particularly where public safety, national security, and the

978
01:09:13,680 –> 01:09:17,640
rights of other citizens are concerned. The Court’s intervention is

979
01:09:17,680 –> 01:09:23,479
therefore a safeguard, not a suppression of constitutional freedoms. Accordingly,

980
01:09:23,920 –> 01:09:27,880
all intending protesters and counter protest groups are strongly advised

981
01:09:27,880 –> 01:09:31,039
to avoid restricted areas and to refrain from any act

982
01:09:31,119 –> 01:09:36,039
capable of provoking confrontation or disturbing public order. The Force

983
01:09:36,079 –> 01:09:39,479
will ensure the free flow of traffic, protection of lives

984
01:09:39,479 –> 01:09:43,920
and property, and security of all law abiding citizens. Any

985
01:09:44,000 –> 01:09:47,760
person or group that uses protests as cover to inside violence,

986
01:09:48,199 –> 01:09:53,279
carry or use offensive weapons, vandalize public or private property, kidnap,

987
01:09:53,600 –> 01:09:56,359
or engage in acts likely to cause loss of life

988
01:09:56,520 –> 01:10:00,600
or serious injury will be dealt with decisively. Vendors will

989
01:10:00,600 –> 01:10:05,399
be arrested, subjected to full investigation, and prosecuted under relevant

990
01:10:05,399 –> 01:10:10,279
criminal laws, including laws relating to public order, violent conduct

991
01:10:10,319 –> 01:10:14,680
and terrorism where applicable. Those who incite others via social

992
01:10:14,760 –> 01:10:17,960
media or other platforms should note that digital evidence will

993
01:10:18,039 –> 01:10:22,680
be used in investigations and prosecutions. The Inspector General of

994
01:10:22,720 –> 01:10:28,039
Police IGP, CAR yode Adeolu egg Betoken, has directed the FCT,

995
01:10:28,239 –> 01:10:32,439
Commissioner of Police and relevant operational commands to ensure strict

996
01:10:32,560 –> 01:10:36,800
enforcement of the Court’s order, maintain visible and strategic deployments

997
01:10:36,840 –> 01:10:40,560
across vulnerable locations, and insure the safety of residents and

998
01:10:40,640 –> 01:10:45,840
lawful activities in the FCT. All organizers and participants are

999
01:10:45,840 –> 01:10:50,159
therefore advised to avoid the restricted areas specified by the Court,

1000
01:10:50,960 –> 01:10:55,880
refrain from carrying weapons, engaging in provocative conduct, or encouraging

1001
01:10:55,880 –> 01:11:00,079
others to breach the law, and channel grievances through the

1002
01:11:00,119 –> 01:11:03,840
courts and other lawful avenues rather than the streets. The

1003
01:11:03,920 –> 01:11:08,680
Nigeria Police Force assures law abiding Nigerians that adequate security

1004
01:11:08,800 –> 01:11:12,760
arrangements have been made to protect lives and property. Non

1005
01:11:12,840 –> 01:11:17,239
participants should go about their lawful businesses without fear. Anyone

1006
01:11:17,359 –> 01:11:19,720
found to be in breach of the Court’s order or

1007
01:11:19,760 –> 01:11:22,640
in contempt of the law will be arrested and prosecuted.

1008
01:11:23,359 –> 01:11:26,439
We had reported that the founder of Sahara Reporters news

1009
01:11:26,520 –> 01:11:29,920
media and the organizer of the Free Nandi Carlu protest,

1010
01:11:30,359 –> 01:11:34,199
Homiele Saware, has refuted and debunked the reports circulating in

1011
01:11:34,319 –> 01:11:37,239
some sections of the media that the Federal High Court

1012
01:11:37,359 –> 01:11:41,439
sitting in Abuja has stopped the upcoming Monday, October twentieth

1013
01:11:41,479 –> 01:11:44,880
mass protest organized to demand the release of the detained

1014
01:11:44,880 –> 01:11:50,279
Biafra Republic Agitation leader Marzi Nandi Carlu, saying the media

1015
01:11:50,359 –> 01:11:53,840
report is false and a calculated attempt to distract members

1016
01:11:53,880 –> 01:11:56,479
of the public from coming out to join the protest,

1017
01:11:56,760 –> 01:11:59,920
adding Nandi Carnu is so sick that the people must

1018
01:12:00,119 –> 01:12:02,960
come out now to set him free. The sickness is

1019
01:12:03,000 –> 01:12:07,640
alleged by Amiena. Sware apparently challenged the medical report issued

1020
01:12:07,680 –> 01:12:11,880
by the Nigerian Medical Association nm who had submitted its

1021
01:12:11,960 –> 01:12:15,399
panel report before the trial court on Thursday that Namdi

1022
01:12:15,479 –> 01:12:19,159
Kanu is fit to face trial that the sickness is

1023
01:12:19,199 –> 01:12:23,039
not life threatening, but Hunch newspaper reporter at the court

1024
01:12:23,079 –> 01:12:26,039
on Thursday reported that it was the Department of State

1025
01:12:26,159 –> 01:12:29,680
Services DSS lawyer who happened to be one of the

1026
01:12:29,720 –> 01:12:33,479
parties in the dispute that presented the NMA medical report

1027
01:12:33,560 –> 01:12:38,680
before the court. We are yet to ascertain the independency, fairness, objectivity,

1028
01:12:39,000 –> 01:12:43,800
accuracy and transparency of the Nigerian Medical Association NME in

1029
01:12:43,920 –> 01:12:48,560
conducting the medical examination. We have reported the Justice Mohammad

1030
01:12:48,600 –> 01:12:51,600
Gaba Umar of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja

1031
01:12:51,680 –> 01:12:55,439
on Friday apparently rejected the plans by the Inspector General

1032
01:12:55,439 –> 01:12:59,399
of Police IGP car Yode egg Betoken to stop the

1033
01:12:59,479 –> 01:13:04,000
upcoming Monday, October twentieth plan mass protests by Nigerians to

1034
01:13:04,039 –> 01:13:07,920
demand the release of the detained Biafra Republic Agitation leader

1035
01:13:08,399 –> 01:13:12,800
Marzi Nandikanu. But according to the organizer of the protest,

1036
01:13:13,039 –> 01:13:16,760
Omiyele Saware, after the judge initially declined to grant the

1037
01:13:16,840 –> 01:13:20,159
Nigeria Police Force an ex party motion to stop the

1038
01:13:20,239 –> 01:13:24,000
planned protest in the open court, the Federal High Court

1039
01:13:24,039 –> 01:13:28,279
Judge Justice whom Are reportedly granted the motion in chambers

1040
01:13:28,319 –> 01:13:32,279
imposing a banon protests at Asso Rock Villa, National Assembly

1041
01:13:32,600 –> 01:13:36,039
or Unity Fountain in Abuja. We await a certify true

1042
01:13:36,079 –> 01:13:39,279
copy of the order which our lawyers will review. The

1043
01:13:39,359 –> 01:13:43,560
protest remains unstoppable. While this is ongoing, the United States

1044
01:13:43,960 –> 01:13:48,159
US Embassy in Nigeria has warned America citizens to be

1045
01:13:48,239 –> 01:13:51,399
far from the protest areas and limit their movements in

1046
01:13:51,479 –> 01:13:56,399
the Nigeria capital city, Abuja, saying the planned protest may

1047
01:13:56,479 –> 01:14:00,319
lead to destructions and violence. We had also report that

1048
01:14:00,359 –> 01:14:04,720
the Nigerian Army Authority has issued a statement denying threat

1049
01:14:04,720 –> 01:14:07,680
messages issued against members of the public ahead of the

1050
01:14:07,720 –> 01:14:11,960
plan mass protests slated for October twentieth, twenty twenty five

1051
01:14:12,039 –> 01:14:14,840
to demand for the release and freedom of the detained

1052
01:14:14,840 –> 01:14:20,079
Biaffa Republic agitation leader Marzi Namdikaru, just as the organizer

1053
01:14:20,119 –> 01:14:23,800
and chief campaigner, Omiyele Saware, the publisher of saha A

1054
01:14:23,840 –> 01:14:27,199
Reporters News Media, met to seek understanding with the former

1055
01:14:27,279 –> 01:14:31,520
President of Nigeria, good Luck of Belet Jonathan, who, according

1056
01:14:31,560 –> 01:14:35,319
to Saware, promised to visit President Bolah Ahmed Tanubu to

1057
01:14:35,359 –> 01:14:36,560
discuss the issue with him.

1058
01:14:40,279 –> 01:14:46,239
Speaker 3: Gwinni Bini, founder of Sahara A Reporters News Media and

1059
01:14:46,279 –> 01:14:50,600
the organizer of the Free Namdi Kardo protest, Omiyle Saware,

1060
01:14:50,720 –> 01:14:55,000
has refuted and debunked the reports circulating in some sections.

1061
01:14:54,439 –> 01:14:57,079
Speaker 1: Of the media that the Federal High Court sitting in

1062
01:14:57,119 –> 01:15:01,000
Abuja has stopped the upcoming Monday, October a twentieth mass

1063
01:15:01,079 –> 01:15:04,560
protest organized to demand the release of the detained Biafra

1064
01:15:04,680 –> 01:15:10,079
Republic Agitation leader Marzi Namdikru, saying the media report is

1065
01:15:10,159 –> 01:15:13,279
false and a calculated attempt to distract members of the

1066
01:15:13,279 –> 01:15:17,439
public from coming out to join the protest, adding Nandikru

1067
01:15:17,600 –> 01:15:20,039
is so sick that the people must come out now

1068
01:15:20,079 –> 01:15:23,079
to set him free. The sickness is alleged by Omi

1069
01:15:23,239 –> 01:15:27,119
La Sware apparently challenged the medical report issued by the

1070
01:15:27,199 –> 01:15:31,960
Nigerian Medical Association NMA, who had submitted its panel report

1071
01:15:32,039 –> 01:15:35,640
before the trial court on Thursday, that Namdikru is fit

1072
01:15:35,720 –> 01:15:39,279
to face trial that the sickness is not life threatening.

1073
01:15:39,560 –> 01:15:43,520
But Punch newspaper reporter at the court on Thursday reported

1074
01:15:43,560 –> 01:15:47,119
that it was the Department of State Services PSS lawyer

1075
01:15:47,359 –> 01:15:50,159
who happened to be one of the parties in the dispute,

1076
01:15:50,159 –> 01:15:53,920
that presented the NMA medical report before the court. We

1077
01:15:53,960 –> 01:15:58,920
are yet to ascertain the independency, fairness, objectivity, accuracy and

1078
01:15:59,000 –> 01:16:03,720
transparency of the Nigerian Medical Association NME in conducting the

1079
01:16:03,760 –> 01:16:09,359
medical examination. In a statement on Saturday, Omielee Sware said

1080
01:16:09,520 –> 01:16:12,359
the Federal High Court in Abuja has not stopped the

1081
01:16:12,399 –> 01:16:16,800
proposed Free Namdicanuno protest slated for Monday, October twentieth, twenty

1082
01:16:16,840 –> 01:16:21,920
twenty five. Contrary to the misleading claims being circulated by police,

1083
01:16:22,000 –> 01:16:25,319
lawyers and sections of the media, no order was granted

1084
01:16:25,359 –> 01:16:30,000
restraining citizens from exercising their constitutional right to peaceful assembly.

1085
01:16:30,920 –> 01:16:33,960
Justice Humar of the Federal High Court declined to issue

1086
01:16:33,960 –> 01:16:36,800
any ex party order sought by the police to halt

1087
01:16:36,800 –> 01:16:41,680
the nationwide protest altogether. What exists is are purported court

1088
01:16:41,800 –> 01:16:45,359
order obtained in chambers by lawyers of the police, which

1089
01:16:45,399 –> 01:16:48,479
has not been served on any one, asking that protesters

1090
01:16:48,520 –> 01:16:53,159
not protested. Asso Rockvilla, National Assembly, Eagle Square and a

1091
01:16:53,159 –> 01:16:56,800
certain show Shagari Way the latest false claims designed to

1092
01:16:56,840 –> 01:17:01,960
confuse the public and discouraged participation. The protest date is sacrasanct.

1093
01:17:02,359 –> 01:17:07,119
The movement is unstoppable. In another statement, Omiyele Saware said,

1094
01:17:07,560 –> 01:17:10,279
I was deeply involved in the struggle for the validation

1095
01:17:10,439 –> 01:17:13,640
of the June twelfth election, and I remember vividly how

1096
01:17:13,680 –> 01:17:17,399
the system operated back then, how they weaponized the judiciary

1097
01:17:17,439 –> 01:17:21,479
to buy time, to deceive the public and to justify injustice.

1098
01:17:22,239 –> 01:17:25,880
They kept saying Aviola’s case is in court, using that

1099
01:17:25,960 –> 01:17:29,000
as a shield for tyranny, until they eventually killed him

1100
01:17:29,039 –> 01:17:33,239
a day before his supposed release. It was a well

1101
01:17:33,319 –> 01:17:38,119
orchestrated tragedy disguised as legal processes. Today, I see the

1102
01:17:38,159 –> 01:17:42,479
same script being replayed with Marzi Namdi Karu, the same manipulation,

1103
01:17:42,920 –> 01:17:47,680
the same excuses, fake narrators, fake protesters, the same abuse

1104
01:17:47,720 –> 01:17:52,359
of process. The language has not changed, only the victims have.

1105
01:17:52,960 –> 01:17:56,840
History is repeating itself before our eyes, and just as

1106
01:17:56,880 –> 01:17:59,720
we fought to expose the truth, then we must do

1107
01:17:59,800 –> 01:18:04,000
so now before it’s too late. The Nandikru I saw

1108
01:18:04,199 –> 01:18:07,479
in court on October sixteenth is very ill. We must

1109
01:18:07,520 –> 01:18:11,119
rescue him before another citizen is sacrificed to the bloodthirsty

1110
01:18:11,199 –> 01:18:15,720
Nigerian elite. Club Punch newspaper had during the week reported

1111
01:18:15,720 –> 01:18:20,079
that the Nigerian Medical Association on Thursday informed the Federal

1112
01:18:20,159 –> 01:18:22,720
High Court in Abouja that the illness of the leader

1113
01:18:22,800 –> 01:18:26,520
of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nandi Carnu, is not

1114
01:18:26,680 –> 01:18:30,680
life threatening. The medical panel set up by the NMA

1115
01:18:30,720 –> 01:18:33,960
president said it had concluded the health assessment ordered by

1116
01:18:34,000 –> 01:18:36,560
the court on the IPO B leader and found that

1117
01:18:36,680 –> 01:18:40,600
Carnu is fit to stand trial. About two weeks ago,

1118
01:18:40,920 –> 01:18:45,600
the trial Judge, Justice James Omitosho directed the Association to

1119
01:18:45,680 –> 01:18:51,399
independently assess Carnu’s health status following conflicting medical reports presented

1120
01:18:51,439 –> 01:18:55,760
by the defense and the prosecution. While DSS Council Mister A.

1121
01:18:55,840 –> 01:19:00,319
Womelo adding boy egber Sam maintained that Carnu’s health could

1122
01:19:00,359 –> 01:19:04,399
be adequately managed at the DSS Medical Facility, the Defense

1123
01:19:04,439 –> 01:19:09,520
Council Mister Oyachi Ikpizu San insisted that his client’s health

1124
01:19:09,600 –> 01:19:11,840
was deteriorating and that he should be taken to the

1125
01:19:11,920 –> 01:19:16,439
National Hospital for proper care. This prompted Justice Omatosho to

1126
01:19:16,560 –> 01:19:21,039
order the NMA to conduct an independent medical examination to determine,

1127
01:19:21,279 –> 01:19:25,000
among other things, whether the DSS Medical Facility could cater

1128
01:19:25,079 –> 01:19:27,560
to Carno’s needs are if he should be transferred to

1129
01:19:27,600 –> 01:19:31,680
the National Hospital as requested by the defense. The report

1130
01:19:31,800 –> 01:19:34,840
is also expected to determine whether Krnu is fit to

1131
01:19:34,880 –> 01:19:39,800
stand trial. However, at the previous sitting, Omitosho had to

1132
01:19:39,800 –> 01:19:43,960
rejourn for October sixteenth, for the presentation of Karnu’s medical

1133
01:19:44,000 –> 01:19:47,239
examination report by the NMA. Due to the inability of

1134
01:19:47,279 –> 01:19:50,840
the panel to conclude its assessment of the IPOB leader’s

1135
01:19:50,920 –> 01:19:54,840
health status and present its findings before the court, the

1136
01:19:54,960 –> 01:19:58,520
DSS requested a one week adjournment to allow the NMA

1137
01:19:58,600 –> 01:20:03,279
Medical Board to conclude its investigation. Karnu is currently being

1138
01:20:03,359 –> 01:20:08,159
prosecuted by the federal government on charges relating to alleged terrorism.

1139
01:20:08,359 –> 01:20:11,479
According to the panel’s report, which was submitted to the

1140
01:20:11,479 –> 01:20:15,199
court on October thirteenth by the prosecution team led by A.

1141
01:20:15,239 –> 01:20:19,479
Womelo and partly read in open court during Thursday’s proceedings,

1142
01:20:19,520 –> 01:20:22,720
the medical body stated that the defendant’s ailment does not

1143
01:20:22,760 –> 01:20:25,640
pose any immediate danger to his life and confirm that

1144
01:20:25,680 –> 01:20:29,159
he is fit to stand trial. Relying on the medical

1145
01:20:29,199 –> 01:20:32,359
findings and in the absence of any objection from Council

1146
01:20:32,439 –> 01:20:35,920
to the parties, Omitosho ruled that the court was satisfied

1147
01:20:35,920 –> 01:20:38,880
that the defendant could proceed with his trial and okayed

1148
01:20:38,880 –> 01:20:42,039
the medical facility of the DSS for his medical care.

1149
01:20:42,840 –> 01:20:47,399
The judge consequently granted Carno six consecutive days beginning from

1150
01:20:47,399 –> 01:20:51,359
October twenty third to thirty to open and close. The

1151
01:20:51,439 –> 01:20:54,720
defendant has until the thirtieth day of October to close

1152
01:20:54,760 –> 01:21:00,520
his defense, Omitosho said. Additionally, Justice Omitosho granted an oral

1153
01:21:00,560 –> 01:21:05,159
application by Carnu’s lead council chief krlu A Gabi Sam

1154
01:21:05,560 –> 01:21:09,399
seeking permission for a private consultation between the defendant and

1155
01:21:09,439 –> 01:21:13,159
his legal team outside the Department of State Services premises.

1156
01:21:13,880 –> 01:21:17,439
Pergabi had argued that the defense team feared the discussions

1157
01:21:17,479 –> 01:21:20,560
with Carnu might be monitored or recorded by the DSS.

1158
01:21:21,399 –> 01:21:24,359
The court therefore approved that the private meeting be held

1159
01:21:24,399 –> 01:21:27,760
within the court room with only Krnu and his lawyers present.

1160
01:21:28,560 –> 01:21:32,079
