Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, has dragged the government of Burundi to the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights over the killing of protesters in the country.
The petition, dated May 5, and sent to the Secretary, Mary Maboreke, reads in part:
“I am sending this petition for the urgent attention of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights regarding the continuing human rights violations by the government of Burundi, in particular the attacks against peaceful protesters, journalists and human rights activists, following protests over President Pierre Nkurunziza’s decision to run for a third term.”
“I urge the African Commission to ensure effective remedies for a multiple violations of the rights of the people of Burundi to life, personal liberty, freedom of expression, association and assembly, guaranteed under the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights to which Burundi is a state party.”
“Despite its obligations under the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and other international treaties to which Burundi is a state party, the authorities continue to violate the right to life, personal liberty, freedom of expression, association and assembly in the context of the on-going human rights crisis in the country.”
A ranking senator yesterday revealed how his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) colleagues and those of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who supported the emergence of Senator Bukola Saraki as the Senate President were threatened the week preceding the inauguration of the National Assembly. He also revealed how senators-elect in APC from the North backed out of the Ahmed Lawan-for-Senate President project when they learnt that the intention was to cage President Muhammadu Buhari as plotted by some Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) elements in APC, who nominated the vice president. The senator from the South-East, who doesn’t want to be named, told Daily Sun that elements who wanted Senator Lawan to emerge as Senate President, essentially from the ACN bloc of the APC did everything possible to ensure they arm-twisted the senators sympathetic to Saraki. He stated: “Sometime last week, it got so bad that their men stormed the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, where most of us stayed and had our meeting to attack members. The attack came as the last effort after we resisted their inducement. “Yes, we were all approached to vote the people they wanted in the two chambers of the National Assembly, but we said no. We resisted them because we were on a mission to salvage our party, and we were bent on voting the person that would serve our interest. Now PDP is in the opposition and we have to teach APC a lesson in positive opposition.”
Nigeria’s eighth National Assembly was inaugurated on Tuesday, June 9. At the chambers of the Senate and the House of Representatives, 109 Senators and 360 Representatives were sworn in to office for a four-year term.
Section 66(1a-i) the 1999 Constitution bars certain categories of Nigerians from being members of the National Assembly.
The Constitution says a person shall be unworthy to make laws for the country if he has been indicted for embezzlement or fraud by a judicial commission of inquiry or an administrative panel of inquiry or a tribunal set up under the Tribunals of Inquiry Act, Tribunals of Inquiry Law or any other law by the federal or state government which indictment has been accepted by the federal or state governments respectively.
At least 37 villagers were killed and scores of houses razed down when Boko Haram terrorists, Wednesday, staged yet another deadly attack on hapless communities in Damboa local government area of Borno state, witnesses and security sources have said.
The heavily armed terrorists who drove on trucks attacked six farming communities by shooting sporadically and throwing improvised petrol bombs on houses.
An operative of the Civilian-JTF, Ajim Ahmed, who said he witnessed it all, narrated that six villages comprising Koshifa, Matangale, Buraltuma, Darmanti, Almeri and Burmari villages all within Damboa local government were attacked that Wednesday night.
Mr. Ahmed said he had to join others to flee during the deadly attack, but returned the next day to find the smoking villages littered with human corpses.
The executive governor of Anambra state, Chief Willie Obiano has approved the appointment of Honourable Barrister Pauly Onyeka as the Special Adviser to the governor on House of Assembly Liaison Officer.
The governor disclosed this at the swearing In ceremony for the 6th Anambra state house of assembly members in Awka, urged the honourable members to work assiduously to match up even surpass the achievements of the 5th Anambra state house of assembly members.
A former political assistant to the late Moshood Abiola, Olu Akerele, has remained unrelenting in his advocacy for the official recognition of what he describes as “the democratic martyrdom of MKO Abiola as the icon of the current democracy and his posthumous declaration as president-elect of Nigeria”.
In a press statement in Abuja Thursday, Mr. Akerele said “for a man who selflessly martyred himself and whose blood watered the tree of the very democracy that we enjoy today, declaring him president-elect posthumously and recognizing the day that symbolizes his political struggle will not be too much to assuage his spirit and to give proper repose to the soul of such political icon.”
He maintained that “the late icon of democracy (whose pan-Nigerian and cross-cultural electoral victory on June 12 remains a watershed in the democratic learning experience of Nigeria) was conspiratorially martyred on July 07, 1998, after four years of incarceration by the military junta of the late General Sani Abacha”.
An evening fire yesterday destroyed part of Finotel Classic Hotel located near Nwa Uzu Junction, Agu Awka, Awkacapital territory, Anambra state Ashiwaju.org visited the scene, we observed that property worth several million of Naira perished in the inferno.
Witnesses said the fire started at about 6:00 pm from the upper part of the Hotel Classic but were not able to ascertain the cause of the inferno.
A guest in the hotel who pleaded anonymity explained that the fire caused panic inside the hotel as people ran for safety.
“I heard people shouting ‘fire! Fire’ at the lobby and I saw thick smoke oozing out from a section of the building. Then, I knew there was problem. I had to run for safety like others, he said.” Ashiwaju.org also gathered that the fire service came very late to the scene and it took the intervention of the state Governor, Chief Willie Obiano who directed the Government House Fire Fighting Trucks to reduce the level of wreckage that would have occured in the Hotel fire outbreak.
Efforts to speak with the hotel management was probed abortive at the time of filling this report, but Ashiwaju.org arguable heard from an expert that came to sympathize with the Hotel Management said the damage should run into Million of Naira .
A coalition of Yoruba groups, pan-Yoruba National Alliance, has dismissed the notion that Lagos is a no-man’s land. The group, therefore, warned non-indigenes in the state to be sensitive to the culture and sensibilities of the Yoruba. The group , which is a coalition of youths drawn from Oodua Nationalists Coalition, Oodua Liberation Movement and the Oodua Peoples Congress, among others, said this even as some Igbo groups in Lagos tabled a seven-point agenda before Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, demanding that he appoints some Igbo into his cabinet. The PAYNA youths, who took to the streets to protest on Tuesday, warned that any attempt to marginalise the Yoruba in Lagos would be resisted. A leader of the group, Mr. Araoye Akinwunmi, said, “This is a symbolic rally to warn against the assault on Yoruba heritage. We are sick of people who trample on our heritage even though they make their millions on our territory. The Yoruba will no longer accept the conscious attempt to turn us into slaves on our own land.”
Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ghali Umar Na’ Abba, on Wednesday, described the emergence of Yakubu Dogara as Speaker of the House as revolutionary. Na’ Abba made this remark when he led former principal officers of the House to congratulate the new Speaker of the eighth House of Reps. Na’ Abba said the revolution was executed by members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). “The law makers are mature Nigerians and they know where they want to place the country in the comity of nations. The former speaker posited that any party that wants to manipulate the autonomy of the legislature would be disappointed. “In spite of the candidates preferred by the APC, the legislators chose who they wanted to lead them. “The event that played out on Tuesday which led to Dogara’s emergence as Speaker, reminded me of the case of Aminu Tambuwal in 2011.
