Nnamdi Kanu: Buhari should stop mocking democracy with ‘ojuju calabar’ trial – Fayose
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has charged Nigerians to prevail on President Muhammadu Buhari to purge himself “of the blood and water of dictatorship flowing in his veins”.
He stressed that the Federal Government’s attempt to secretly try the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, by using mask-wearing prosecution witnesses is a mockery of democracy.
The Governor, in a release issued on Saturday by his spokesman, Lere Olayinka, said “it is shameful that the Federal Government could approach the court for witnesses in a criminal matter it is prosecuting to wear mask and be seen through screen.”
He added that even the prosecuting counsel, who filed the application, should be ashamed of themselves for allowing themselves to be used as tools to subvert democracy.
According to the statement, “They want Kanu tried secretly. They also want the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col Sambo Dasuki (rtd) tried secretly. What are they afraid of?
Revealed: Delta State Government Hiding Tompolo
As the EFCC seeks permission to consolidate moves to smoke out Chief Oweizide Government Ekpemupolo aka Tompolo by confiscating his properties, Huhuonline.com can disclose that the former militant leader is currently being harbored by the Delta State government.
Tompolo, who has two arrest warrants on his head and was declared wanted by the EFCC, was sighted in the home of Delta State Deputy Governor, Kingsley Otuaro in Asaba, on Wednesday 17th February. He is still believed to be holed in there.
Tompolo Boys Defies Buhari, Vows To Set Nigeria Ablaze
Written By Obinna Akukwe
Information from
reliable sources craving anonymity, whose tips are always credible ,
have indicated that Warri High Chief General Ekpemupolo aka General
Tompolo may order his boys to blow up more pipelines and plunge the
nation into oil crisis if soldiers who have invaded Gbaramutu Kingdom in
search of him, and ransacking the whole creeks, is not withdrawn.
The
High Court sitting in Lagos had earlier in January sought for the
arrest of the charges of corruption in excess of N30 Billion naira.
Tompolo, fearing humiliating arrest and detention, had through his
lawyer, defied the court directives and failed to answer to Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) investigations. The same court has
listed his properties for auction if he fails to surrender.
I
alluded in an earlier piece titled ‘War in the Creeks as Buhari,
Tompolo Alliance Crumbles’ that “Tompolo had boasted to groups of people
two months before the renewed Biafra protests of November 2015, why he
cannot support Kanu when a big masquerade called Buhari had already
begged him to pipe low. At that time Kanu was still posting his hate
messages from London, Therefore, before that Biafran struggle too off,
many ingredients were already compromised, including Tompolo factor”. I
also explained in the piece that “militant leader Government Ekpemupolo
aka Tompolo took his luck too far. Tompolo equated his alliance with
Buhari to mean that he has the license from the Muslim North to do as he
likes. Tompolo started harassing every political opponent who fails to
worship Him, his views and his God. He arrogated to himself the status
of a Niger Delta Godfather, and this did not go down well with some
sources within the ruling party”.
This alliance
crumbled because Tompolo failed to remove his hand from the Bayelsa
Gubernatorial elections, and bent on supporting Dickson. The duo of
ex-governor Rotimi Amechi and Timipre Sylva decided that the Tompolo
factor in Niger Delta politics will have to end. EFCC which had opened a
case file onhim since August last year, suddenly renewed efforts to
capture him, especially after the ruling APC lost the Bayelsa elections.
Human rights lawyer, Festus Keyamo, sworn enemy of Tompolo, who is
also EFCC counsel, is laughing last.
