On 25th August,2017,the Attorney General of the federation(AGF) Mr.Abubakar Malami(SAN) wrote a memoir to Hon.Justice Binta Nyako beseeching the judge to revoke the bail the lordship granted the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB) on 25th April,2017. AGF MaLami pretended to pillar his irredentist-inspired memoir on Mazi Kanu’s violation of his bail conditions.
A casual perusal of opinions AGF Malami’s memoir generated suggest;unintended outweighed intended consequences. And finally confirmed President Muhammadu Buhari and his rapacious men in the loop chronic irredentists and nepotists working hard to convert Nigeria to a semi-apartheid state where peoples ethnicity and religion determines how they treat them.
One of the best reaction to AGF Malami’s bail revocation request came from Ndigbo’s Pan cultural body Ohanaeze Ndigbo. Mr.John Nwodo ,the leader of the body, inflicted moral and legal uppercuts on the FGN and accused the AGF of bias. His moral punch came in these word:”I am equally miffed by the audacity with which the Attorney-General displays his bias without regard to his oath of office”. On legal ground,Nwodo Piqued:”I am amazed that the distinguished attorney is prepared to contest the superiority of the provisions of the constitution on fundamental human rights of freedom of movement and freedom of association over an erroneous judicial proclamation violating those rights”.
Ohanaeze’s swift, sharp and unequivocal reaction to AGF’s request is the sign that the end of Nigerian “Aryan Race” treatment of others as a conquered and captured people is coming to a disastrous end.
AGF Malami’s request has raised question bordering their refusal to arrest and prosecute Arewa Youths that gave Igbos living in Northern Nigeria a Quit Notice on 6th June,2017, a decision now known as THE KADUNA DECLARATION.A day after their press conference (7/6/2017),Kaduna State Governor Mr.Nasir El-rufai, FGN, and the chairman of Northern Governors Forum threatened thunder and brimstone.
While the arrest orders hangs,these miscreants and intended “genociders” kept appearing as guests in media houses,reviewing their Quit Notice,and daring those that ordered for their arrest.Funny enough,at some point,we started seeing their pictures with some governors that threatened to arrest them. The peaked of this drama was staged on 24th August 2017-a day the felons “officially withdrew” their Quit Notice.The Chairman of Northern Governors Forum was at the venue and participated in the press conference.
In addition to these curious scenes,the FGN via the minister of interior became their official mouthpiece by saying; the felons were misquoted,hence FGN’s refusal to arrest them.The question begging for answer here is; if they were misquoted,why the official withdrawal of the Quit notice on 24th June 2017? This shows their poverty in logic and act of monitoring their lies.
While playing their script of official withdrawing of the Quit Notice,they ordered the FGN to rearrest the IPOB leader. To show that they are a tag team,FGN via Malami within 24hrs wrote his memoir- a demonstration that; rearresting Kanu was part of their overall game plan. The flow of events made it easy for proverbial Benjamin The Donkey to connect the dots with ease of knife on butter.
Equally, King Solomon’s wisdom in not desire to discern that Arewa Youths are jumping jacks of a scheme incubated and hatched by some government personas in tandem with some Northern regional power pullers. Their assumption is,when they issue the Quit Notice to Igbos living in the north,that will make Igbos mount pressure on IPOB’s leader to sink his referendum Advocacy.
I guess they are now licking their wounds because their criminalistic project boomeranged. Their tactless decision has attracted a decision by the
