1
00:00:00,280 –> 00:00:03,359
Speaker 1: Justice James Omitosho of the Federal High Court, sitting in

2
00:00:03,399 –> 00:00:08,679
Abujo on Friday, rule that the detained Biafra Agitation leader Namdykru,

3
00:00:08,800 –> 00:00:12,759
has case to answer because the Nigeria Government prosecution team

4
00:00:12,919 –> 00:00:17,120
have provided some evidence that requires explanations from the detained

5
00:00:17,160 –> 00:00:23,000
biafor leader. This the coordinating lawyer to Namdykaro, Barrister Alloyergy mccourse,

6
00:00:23,039 –> 00:00:26,160
said the judgment of the court does not mean Namdikru

7
00:00:26,320 –> 00:00:30,239
has been pronounced guilty. Rather, the ruling indicated that he

8
00:00:30,280 –> 00:00:33,880
should give explanations to certain evidences the Federal Government of

9
00:00:34,000 –> 00:00:37,640
Nigeria brought before the court. It would be recalled that

10
00:00:37,679 –> 00:00:40,600
the ruling on the no case submission filed by namdy

11
00:00:40,679 –> 00:00:43,920
Kano that was earlier slated to be held on October tenth,

12
00:00:43,960 –> 00:00:47,439
twenty twenty five, was abridged and rescheduled to Friday, the

13
00:00:47,479 –> 00:00:52,439
twenty sixth of September twenty twenty five. Justice James Omitosho

14
00:00:52,560 –> 00:00:56,320
also rejected request by KRNO to be transferred from custody

15
00:00:56,320 –> 00:00:59,759
of the Department of State Services DSS to the National

16
00:00:59,799 –> 00:01:04,599
Home Hospital, Abuja for medical examination over alleged deteriorating health issues.

17
00:01:05,400 –> 00:01:09,560
The court subsequently ordered the President of Nigerian Medical Association

18
00:01:10,120 –> 00:01:14,159
an M to constitute an investigation committee to examine Karnu’s

19
00:01:14,200 –> 00:01:17,200
medical condition and submit a report to it in eight days,

20
00:01:17,239 –> 00:01:20,760
following objection by DSS to his request to be transferred

21
00:01:20,840 –> 00:01:24,239
to National Hospital for second opinion on his health condition.

22
00:01:25,120 –> 00:01:27,560
We had earlier in the year reported that the case

23
00:01:27,640 –> 00:01:30,959
between the Federal Government of Nigeria and the detained leader

24
00:01:31,000 –> 00:01:34,840
of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nandi Kanu, apparently took

25
00:01:34,879 –> 00:01:37,480
a new technical twist after one of the lawyers of

26
00:01:37,480 –> 00:01:42,400
the detained Biafra leader, Paul Rikoro Sam, presented and played

27
00:01:42,439 –> 00:01:45,920
three videos which the Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja

28
00:01:46,040 –> 00:01:49,959
later admitted in evidence. The videos of former Nigeria Chief

29
00:01:50,000 –> 00:01:55,480
of Army Staff, Retired General Theophilis Danjuma saying security operatives

30
00:01:55,560 –> 00:01:59,280
in the West Africa country, specifically the armed forces are

31
00:01:59,319 –> 00:02:03,200
working together with the armed bandits to kill Nigerians, stressing

32
00:02:03,239 –> 00:02:06,799
that if Nigerians depend on the armed forces to curb

33
00:02:06,840 –> 00:02:10,240
in security, they will all die one by one. Also

34
00:02:10,360 –> 00:02:13,800
that of Governor Hope whose odenbur of Imho State saying

35
00:02:14,159 –> 00:02:17,599
politicians are behind killings in the state. Lastly, in the

36
00:02:17,680 –> 00:02:20,680
most interesting video played at the court to counter the

37
00:02:20,719 –> 00:02:24,719
testimony or statement made by the DSS prosecutor witness over

38
00:02:24,840 –> 00:02:29,960
Nandi Kalu led Ipo be founding Eastern Security Network ESN,

39
00:02:29,960 –> 00:02:33,919
allegedly created by group of youths in the Southeastern geopolitical

40
00:02:34,039 –> 00:02:37,520
zone of Nigeria often referred to as Biafra Land to

41
00:02:37,560 –> 00:02:41,800
fight in self defense against Fulani armed bandits or terrorists

42
00:02:41,879 –> 00:02:44,960
that were advancing and killing people in the Eastern state

43
00:02:45,159 –> 00:02:48,560
during the era of President Mohammadu Buhari. Was that of

44
00:02:48,599 –> 00:02:52,479
the Director General of the Department of State Services DSS,

45
00:02:52,800 –> 00:02:56,840
Adeola Jai, who is apparently the government chief complainer in

46
00:02:56,879 –> 00:03:00,199
the case, and the DSSDG in the video recorded and

47
00:03:00,240 –> 00:03:04,560
published by Symphony News Media in February twenty twenty five,

48
00:03:05,039 –> 00:03:09,439
narrated how youths of Azare community in Katagum Local Government

49
00:03:09,520 –> 00:03:12,960
Area and Tafawa belay Were community of Tafawa blay Were

50
00:03:13,039 –> 00:03:17,039
Local Government Area in Bauchi State when the DSSDG was

51
00:03:17,080 –> 00:03:22,199
the State Director of State Security Services SSS, resorted to

52
00:03:22,280 –> 00:03:25,680
self help and killed all Boko Haram terrorists that came

53
00:03:25,719 –> 00:03:29,719
to attack them without depending on the security operatives. According

54
00:03:29,759 –> 00:03:34,319
to the DSSDG, when Boko Haram terrorists invaded Azare community,

55
00:03:34,719 –> 00:03:38,080
they started shooting and killing people. Then the youths went

56
00:03:38,120 –> 00:03:41,159
after the Boko Haram terrorists and killed all of them.

57
00:03:41,199 –> 00:03:44,759
Even when one of the Boko Haram terrorists named Khalid

58
00:03:44,879 –> 00:03:48,120
climbed a tree and started firing gunshots from the tree

59
00:03:48,159 –> 00:03:51,039
towards the people who were on the lower ground, the

60
00:03:51,080 –> 00:03:55,240
Azare people resisted and went after him and subsequently killed him.

61
00:03:55,400 –> 00:03:59,800
Although the Federal government prosecution witness identified as BBB, who

62
00:03:59,879 –> 00:04:04,280
is DSS operative, stated that the ESN is an illegal

63
00:04:04,400 –> 00:04:07,599
organization because there is no approval of government given to

64
00:04:07,680 –> 00:04:10,719
the people of Southeast to establish such a self helped

65
00:04:10,719 –> 00:04:14,080
group to defend their land against terrorists, unlike a MOTEC

66
00:04:14,159 –> 00:04:17,319
and security network in the Southwest States that was approved

67
00:04:17,319 –> 00:04:21,319
and permitted by the government, also claiming his boss, the

68
00:04:21,439 –> 00:04:25,160
DSSDG in the video was asking communities to build the

69
00:04:25,199 –> 00:04:28,920
first line of defense by thus working with security operatives.

70
00:04:29,360 –> 00:04:33,199
But a careful and detailed study of the DSSDG speech

71
00:04:33,319 –> 00:04:37,000
in the video shows that the FG witness BBB probably

72
00:04:37,079 –> 00:04:40,399
talked off points totally off key from the original intent

73
00:04:40,480 –> 00:04:44,839
and intention of mister Adeola Ajai, the DSSDG teachings and

74
00:04:44,879 –> 00:04:48,240
advice in the video, who had said the Azare community

75
00:04:48,279 –> 00:04:52,040
people acted in quick response to an emergency situation and

76
00:04:52,120 –> 00:04:56,040
the storyline indicated that the people of Azare prepared themselves

77
00:04:56,079 –> 00:04:59,839
in advance, likely purchasing and acquiring firearms equivalent to a

78
00:05:00,519 –> 00:05:03,360
forty seven riffles to be able to face and kill

79
00:05:03,480 –> 00:05:07,120
all the Boko Haram terrorists that invaded the community as

80
00:05:07,199 –> 00:05:11,759
narrated by the DSSDG and if true, the DSSDG the

81
00:05:11,839 –> 00:05:14,800
chief complainer must also be ordered to appear before the

82
00:05:14,839 –> 00:05:17,160
court as a defender in the case to present a

83
00:05:17,160 –> 00:05:21,399
certified true copy of government approval given to Azare people

84
00:05:21,480 –> 00:05:25,199
to defend themselves or prove beyond reasonable doubts how the

85
00:05:25,240 –> 00:05:28,879
people of Azare community were able to kill merely with

86
00:05:29,000 –> 00:05:32,160
the bare hands all the Boko Haram terrorists that invaded

87
00:05:32,199 –> 00:05:36,639
their community with high precision weapons of mass destructions. In addition,

88
00:05:36,920 –> 00:05:40,680
the DSSDG in the video probably advocated for the need

89
00:05:40,839 –> 00:05:44,639
for all individuals in Nigeria to have a gun because

90
00:05:44,920 –> 00:05:47,319
he gave an example of a visit to the United

91
00:05:47,360 –> 00:05:51,160
States of America USA when his host in the US

92
00:05:51,319 –> 00:05:54,360
heard a police siren sound, he quickly brought out his

93
00:05:54,480 –> 00:05:57,399
gun and said if the criminal chased after by the

94
00:05:57,519 –> 00:06:01,079
US police ran into his apartment, he would use the

95
00:06:01,120 –> 00:06:03,959
gun to kill the criminal suspect and that not all

96
00:06:04,240 –> 00:06:07,600
the DSSDG in the video also recalled and referenced the

97
00:06:07,639 –> 00:06:11,800
words of nigeria former Head of State, Retired General Ibrahim

98
00:06:11,879 –> 00:06:16,879
Vadamassi Babingida that if insecurity must end in Nigeria, Nigerians

99
00:06:16,959 –> 00:06:19,480
must be ready to resort to self help like the

100
00:06:19,519 –> 00:06:21,160
people of Azare community.

101
00:06:21,199 –> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 2: Did it really simply it simply requires Amazine ambicanoy to

102
00:06:25,759 –> 00:06:29,240
defend than to enter his defense. It’s not a pronunciation

103
00:06:29,399 –> 00:06:32,680
of guilty or not guilty. So that is why it’s

104
00:06:32,680 –> 00:06:34,879
got in O case submission. So the judge made a

105
00:06:34,959 –> 00:06:37,720
ruling that he has a primary fracier evidence.

106
00:06:37,639 –> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 3: That needs to be explained.

107
00:06:39,480 –> 00:06:42,879
Speaker 2: So in common balance, it’s cause on him to come

108
00:06:43,040 –> 00:06:45,600
and mount his own defense. But there is the other

109
00:06:45,680 –> 00:06:50,000
aspect of the ruling that concerned extraordinary rendition. That very

110
00:06:50,040 –> 00:06:54,560
one is one that compounded us because the extraordinary rendition

111
00:06:54,639 –> 00:07:00,319
of Maazine Lambdicano is so open and notorious. Two internationalists

112
00:07:00,439 –> 00:07:03,959
or two separate partners of the United Nations have made

113
00:07:04,079 –> 00:07:07,879
pronouncements regarding his extraordinari rendition and court for his own

114
00:07:07,920 –> 00:07:11,600
additional release. Nigeria is a member of the United Nations

115
00:07:11,720 –> 00:07:16,319
and therefore bound to consider that and implement that decision.

116
00:07:16,360 –> 00:07:22,480
And in Nigeria here three courts have made similar pronouncements.

117
00:07:22,680 –> 00:07:24,720
First was by the Federal High Court o my which

118
00:07:24,800 –> 00:07:27,519
awarded in five hundred million my Era and the Court

119
00:07:27,519 –> 00:07:31,800
of Appillos who pronounced that he was a victim of

120
00:07:31,839 –> 00:07:35,519
extrana rendition. And in the Spreme Court the same spring

121
00:07:35,560 –> 00:07:39,240
court has sent this case back to the trial reached

122
00:07:39,279 –> 00:07:44,839
the same conclusion that he was a victim of extran rendition.

123
00:07:44,959 –> 00:07:48,120
And all these things are of the record, they’re all

124
00:07:48,160 –> 00:07:52,160
in the fire. And we remember when this trial was

125
00:07:52,160 –> 00:07:55,439
being conducted these very documents who attend that in evidence?

126
00:07:55,800 –> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 3: So it compounded us.

127
00:07:57,279 –> 00:08:01,079
Speaker 2: He confused us that the court now made a pronouncement

128
00:08:01,160 –> 00:08:05,879
that the Azlona relitionion had no evidence before the court,

129
00:08:06,000 –> 00:08:08,199
that no evidence of it was submitted before the court.

130
00:08:08,360 –> 00:08:11,680
And you remember list but not the last recently a

131
00:08:11,759 –> 00:08:15,279
Kenyan had High Court made the same pronouncement. But where

132
00:08:15,279 –> 00:08:20,720
if the court was mislaid by believing by mistake that

133
00:08:20,720 –> 00:08:23,399
these things were not in evidence. It also said and

134
00:08:23,560 –> 00:08:27,079
left the door open. That’s what evidence be submitted. So

135
00:08:27,120 –> 00:08:29,639
we’re coming back with that evidence and it’s going to

136
00:08:29,639 –> 00:08:30,480
be quantum and.

137
00:08:30,519 –> 00:08:33,519
Speaker 3: Leisure of the enemy.

138
00:08:34,120 –> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 2: Well, I one too, it wasn’t in evidence that in

139
00:08:38,039 –> 00:08:42,600
a medical association has intervened, so it came as a surprise. Well,

140
00:08:42,600 –> 00:08:45,600
there’s a short date giving of eight days for the

141
00:08:45,720 –> 00:08:49,120
NME to submit this report. So somebody is if somebody

142
00:08:49,159 –> 00:08:49,440
is ill.

143
00:08:49,679 –> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 3: You know.

144
00:08:50,039 –> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 2: I don’t think ANAA is going to change much of that,

145
00:08:52,759 –> 00:08:55,679
but I think the George wanted to leave the record

146
00:08:55,720 –> 00:09:01,440
open to admit every possible evidence regarding this matter. But meantime,

147
00:09:01,559 –> 00:09:04,480
we are disappointed. Our client remains ill and remains the

148
00:09:04,559 –> 00:09:08,080
tent and we’re not happy about that. His situation requires

149
00:09:08,600 –> 00:09:12,159
and imagine care. So whatever the court says today does

150
00:09:12,240 –> 00:09:15,159
not mean that the government shall we draw back. Just

151
00:09:15,159 –> 00:09:18,480
two days ago I wrote the letter, a private hospital

152
00:09:18,759 –> 00:09:22,279
has also express readiness to admit him here in Abuja

153
00:09:22,759 –> 00:09:24,879
for security reasons. I would mention the name of the

154
00:09:24,919 –> 00:09:25,759
private hospital.

155
00:09:25,919 –> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 3: But the government.

156
00:09:26,919 –> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 2: If the government appears to have issues with taking.

157
00:09:30,159 –> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 3: Him to the National hospital.

158
00:09:31,480 –> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 2: We have given them an option of the private hospital

159
00:09:34,639 –> 00:09:36,000
also here in Abuja.

160
00:09:36,080 –> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 3: So it’s says to say that the application to be

161
00:09:40,440 –> 00:09:45,519
transford to the National Hospital no is spending. One of

162
00:09:45,559 –> 00:09:47,200
the informations has been rejected.

163
00:09:47,519 –> 00:09:51,279
Speaker 2: Is pending depending the admission of resupport from the Naigera

164
00:09:51,279 –> 00:09:55,600
Medical Association and the opinion of Naga Medical Association.

165
00:09:55,679 –> 00:09:58,639
Speaker 3: And you know if you weren’t caught. The judge had ordered.

166
00:09:58,399 –> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 2: That the committee of panel to be considered by the

167
00:10:01,720 –> 00:10:05,519
niger Medicalization Chart have a member from the National Hospital.

168
00:10:05,759 –> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 3: So National Hospital is still in place.

169
00:10:09,159 –> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: Bread you beneed in the mortgagialware
