Sunday Igboho

 

 

 

The Arewa youth consultative council has demanded the immediate arrest of Sunday Igboho and other perpetrators of Oyo carnage.

In a statement by Ambassador, Isah Ismaila said the perpetrators of the violence should immediately be arrested and prosecuted

The statement further reads

Imagine having over 5,000 Northerners trapped in Oyo as refugees including women and children displaced by this violence, imagine if this happens in the North, what will be the Local, National, and global headlines, what will be the heinous reports submitted by partial and sentimental human rights organizations and what will be the response of the Government to consoling the victims?.

OYO Carnage:10 killed, 30 missing as Amotekun allegedly ‘joined hoodlums to attack Northerners’ in Oyo

#

The entire Northern Youths are shocked to know that over 20 Northerners were killed and buried at the Akinyele Graveyard in Ibadan,  we are yet to see arrests and brutal interrogation. As concerned and patriotic citizens of Nigeria, we are tirelessly working to calm our youths in order to avoid reprisal attacks all across the 19 Northern States, because we’re hopeful that the rule of law and natural justice will be served appropriately, even though we are yet to see the perpetrators arrested, especially the key instigators including SUNDAY IGBOHO. Our silence and patience are long becoming intolerable because we are openly seeing touts and politically motivated criminals are maiming and killing our brothers in the name of regional differences!.

Invest in the Media: A Call to Northern Elites

We choose to write this in order to keep in the record that entire Northern Nigeria are now keeping calm just to wait and see if Government will decisively deal with the perpetrators accordingly or not, if not the ‘Southern madness MAY lead to another Lawlessness in the North’. Therefore, let effective justice be served urgently and hoping that this won’t just is swept under the carpet!.

 

We painfully want to inform the Inspector General of police, the Defense Minister, National Security Adviser, and all security component in Nigeria that there are people trying to tear Nigeria for political reasons especially in south West, they should be arrested and dealt with or else anything worst may happen. Killing our brothers and destroying their properties in the South is fuelling the already heated tension in Nigeria and if we are to replicate on the Southerners living in Northern Nigeria; the whole story will be different, then let’s not allow to see the different story, lets work to solve it.

 

All across the 19 Northern States, we’ve accommodated Southerners peacefully in all our villages, markets, cities, Universities, public organizations, and generally in all the social institutions in the North. We must warn that when violence and jungle justice becomes a normal thing in the south, lawlessness and reprisal may surely take place and skyrocket to an unknown degree of damages in Northern Nigeria, we pray it doesn’t reach to that point.

 

We cannot continue to tolerate attacks on our innocent residents; simply because Fulanis are alleged to be committing crimes in any society, why will people be allowed to take laws into their hands?. Moreover, Northern Nigeria is the major victim of banditry, kidnapping, and killings, yet our brothers in the south are persecuted and killed in their places of business. The Nigerian Police Force and other law enforcement agencies should quickly arrest and prosecute persons in these crimes no matter who they are before we are forced to take stands we don’t want to take.

 

We wish to categorically remind the Nigerian police that the Southern trouble fuelers must not continue to go free without charges, having seen how the END SARS protesters are walking freely even after what they’ve caused, we must warn that if this “OYO MASSACRE” goes unpunished, we will not concede, allow it to go or forget; neither do we allow future recklessness and mercilessness to just go without any response from the North.

 

We hope that the invasion and destruction of Arewa settlers communities, killing of our people, destroying their properties would be regretted and consoled extremely, while all affected families be compensated handsomely and the perpetrators are dealt with mercilessly, in the same way, they were heartless and unpatriotic. Don’t allow ethnic violence to become a culture that will lead to another civil war. Arewa in general are law-abiding Nigerians and doesn’t want to be pushed to the extreme!’’

76 Detained Children: Northwest Youth-Students Forum hails Senator Barau, AGF’s prompt intervention

Published

The Northwest Youth and Students Forum (NWYSF) has expressed its heartfelt appreciation to the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau I. Jibrin and the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, for their prompt intervention in the detention of minors by the Nigeria Police Force, following the End Bad Governance Protest.

The forum in a statement signed by its National Chairman, Abubakar Isyaku Balan said the swift action by the leaders will brings hope to the affected families and demonstrates a commitment to protecting the rights of vulnerable citizens nationwide.

He said “The giant move of the Deputy President of the Senate and the Attorney General of the Federal is no doubt a commendable one. We are proud of this and look forward to the release of the children courtesy of this movement.”

According to the statement, the NWYSF, as a forum comprising of talented youth and students, deemed it necessary to protectively initiate awareness programs that will enlighten the teeming youth on human rights and activism.

“We acknowledge that the minors actions were driven by ignorance and a lack of proper orientation, underscoring the need for civic education and sensitization in the Northwest region. Addressing the underlying issues that led to this situation is crucial, rather than simply punishing the minors. This approach will foster a more informed and empowered youth.

“Considering the economic situation in the North, we urge the Federal Government to show compassion and release the detained minors, taking into account their age and circumstances. We also call on the government to provide support for their rehabilitation and education.

“In partnership with government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and community leaders, NWYSF will develop sensitization initiatives focusing on empowering youths with knowledge of their rights and responsibilities, promoting understanding and respect for human rights and teaching alternative dispute resolution methods.

“In view of the above, by working together, we can prevent similar incidents and foster a more informed, peaceful, and inclusive society,” the statement added.

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has arraigned Hauwau Gimbiya Mukhtar Abdulkarim, the serving Provost of the Federal College of Education (Technical) (FCET), Gusau, alongside Abdullahi Boyi, a lecturer with the Sokoto State College of Education (SSCE), on alleged certificate forgery.

The duo were arraigned on a six-count charge, registered as charge No. SS/213c/2024, before Hon. Justice Muhammad Aliyu Sambo at the Sokoto State High Court. ICPC accused the two defendants of forging an appointment letter and using it to apply for the position of Provost at the Federal College of Education (Technical) Gusau, Zamfara State.

The defendants were also accused of making false statements to ICPC officers during the investigation, which is an offence under Section 25(1)(a) and punishable under Section 25(ii)(b) of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act 2000. “Both defendants, however, pleaded ‘not guilty’ to all six charges when read to them by the Court’s Registrar,” the ICPC revealed in a statement.

Counsel for the defendants, Dr. Muhammad Mansur Aliyu and Mr. M.S. Diri SAN, moved for bail applications on behalf of their clients. They requested the court to consider reasonable bail terms, citing the defendants’ “established positions and cooperation during the investigation.”

Counsel to the ICPC, Mr. Suleiman Ahmad, did not oppose the bail applications. Following the consideration of the applications, Hon. Justice Sambo granted bail under specific conditions designed to ensure the defendants’ continued presence throughout the trial proceedings.

The bail conditions require each defendant to provide two sureties who are permanent residents of Sokoto State, with each surety signing a bond of one million naira (₦1,000,000). After granting bail, the ICPC prosecutor requested a date for the trial to commence, emphasizing the Commission’s preparedness to present witnesses and evidence in support of the charges.

Hon. Justice Sambo adjourned the matter to November 21, 2024, when the hearing is set to begin. The prosecution is expected to call witnesses and introduce material evidence to substantiate the allegations.

The ICPC press release was signed by Demola Bakare, Acting Director of Public Enlightenment and Education, and Spokesperson for the Commission.
