NIGERIAN PEACE CORPS BILL S NEXT

Someone said if you weren't in Minna yesterday for IBB's daughter's wedding, you are just a tenant in Nigeria.

The landlords gathered to wine and dine.
Someone complained about the number of private jets flown into the city yesterday as the Abuja-Minna road isn't motorable. Another one argued it doesn't matter. It was a class thing and it is rare seeing a JSS1 boy play ludo with someone writing UTME.

Someone also wondered why suicide bombers ignored these enemies of Nigeria and decided to attack University of Maiduguri, a citadel of learning where dreams are being built and nurtured.

Someone somewhere close to the wedding venue said he strained his eyes looking for the leaking PDP umbrella and the tiny APC broom yesterday and had to go home disappointed when he saw all of them hugging and smiling without talking about their parties.

Someone faraway in Abeokuta decided to analyze their sitting positions and nearly ended up in the hospital. His blood pressure rose.
Another one, a popular PDP apologist in Enugu, broke down in tears yesterday. He saw 'Bola Tinubu, the man behind his hero's political and electoral fate who still lambasted him days ago in Lagos, seated beside Goodluck Jonathan smiling sheepishly to the cameras.

Someone, an unrepentant APC loyalist, saw Ali Modu Sheriff and Ahmed Markafi stand together. He had always prayed for the total collapse of PDP. He couldn't eat yesternight anyway.

Someone watched Channels Television news and saw Governor Ganduje and his sworn enemy Kwankwaso seated inches apart. He is still praying to God to wake him from his nightmare.

Another one made sure he followed the news on radio waiting for any divisive religious matter to be raised only to hear voices of Bukola Saraki, a muslim, and Yakubu Dogara, a christian, screaming for those expensive wines. He is still changing stations with hopes.

Someone checked online media outlets yesternight and saw pictures of Yorubas, Hausas, Fulanis, Igbos all under one roof with their different tribal wears. There was no tribal statement. No tribal war. He broke the screen of his phone.

Here we are.
Continue defending these people who have divided you along religious, ethnic and tribal lines.
*Continue with your gullibility.*
*Continue with your nonsense.*
What we need is just your brain. Don't bother asking us why.
I stand with Amb. Dickson A.O Akor
I stand with the Nigerian Youth,
I stand for peace corps of Nigeria.
When peace Corps gets approved, it will affect every family.
Let's all stand with Amb. Dickson Akor.
the Nigerian Youths needs to stand-up, this is our only opportunity.

May Almighty Allah make NPC a reality.

Peace Corps: Judge blasts Police, warns AGF
Written By Idoma Television on Thursday, April 27, 2017 | 11:36:00 AM

A Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday directed the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Mr Abubakar Malami, to call the Nigeria Police to order by warning the security arm on the consequences of treating courts with levity.

Kolawole’s reaction followed the failure of the police to appear in a case of enforcement of fundamental human rights instituted against it and four others by the Incorporated Trustees of the Peace Corps of Nigeria.

At the resumed hearing of the suit, the Inspector General of Police and the Nigerian Police Force, who are the major defendants in the court action, were not in court and gave no cogent reason.

The AGF, the National Security Adviser, Department of State Services and its Director-General, who are the other defendants in the suit, were represented by Mr Terhemba Agbe.

Kanu Agabi, (SAN), Counsel to the Peace Corps and its National Commandant, had urged the court for an order restraining the police from further taking steps against the plaintiffs in the pending court action.

Agabi had specifically pleaded with the judge to order the police to vacate the corporate headquarters of the Peace Corps in Abuja, which had been sealed off since Feb. 28.

He also asked for an order of court to facilitate the release of the vehicles and other properties of the corps carted away by the police when the office was invaded.
Justice Kolawale expressed displeasure over the absence of the police in court without justifiable reason.

The judge said that the police who were the antagonist in the matter ought to have realised that a case for the enforcement of fundamental human rights ought to be treated with deserved urgency.

“It is an affront to the court for a party in a pending court action to take any further step in such a manner that may affect the foundation of the case.
“To take a further step in a pending court matter outside the court is nothing but self help and the consequence of such action is contempt of proceedings,’’ Kolawole said.

The judge said that his ruling should be served on the police through the office of the AGF to enable the police realise the consequences of treating the court with levity.

He therefore, ordered the AGF and three other defendants to file processes
within five days in response to the originating summons of the Peace Corps.

God bless u sir

I don't know if I should start with good day, but I don't think the day is good enough for you in the past days as the darkness you fight yourself inside detention makes it impossible for you to know when it is day or night.

The past days must have been very traumatic for you, but this is not the first time you are finding yourself walking this path.

This is the nineteenth time you are going behind bars, not as a criminal but as a victim of your dreams and convictions.

Going behind bars for what you believe in is not a sin, every great man passes through this experience. Some may not be physical bars but ideological barriers set to limit potentials of men by men.

You are in detention today not because you pursue ventures that spill blood or threaten our collective existence, but because you pursue peace. You wanted to see a peaceful society, you invested virtually all your youthful years to articulate your peace dream into Peace Corps of Nigeria, and those who should be applauding your patriotic gymnastics with medals are the same people trying to downplay you.

Those who kept you in detention, may have physically isolated you from reach, but unknown to them, the ideals they are trying to cage you for, lives and flourish on our streets.
The cell they lock in, is too small to contain and the ideals you stand for.

It is not only they have placed behind bars, they have also placed countless numbers of able Nigerian youths who subscribe to the ideals of Peace Corp of Nigeria and believe that she has a space for them to ventilate what they carry within as we strive to a better Nigeria.

You ran with Nigeria's banner, you preached peace to all Nigerians, you built bridges of hope, faith, and patriotism... all these are part of the credentials you are paying for freedom for.
Be strong, you are not alone. Those who kept you in detention should get ready to enlarge the cell because they are countless Nigerian youths who are willing to join you there.

They want to hijack what you sweat to build. They want to infiltrate the leadership of a venture they know nothing about. Be strong and stand firm. We know what is going on.

I am writing you from Gboko, Gboko is a few hour drive from Zaki Biam where I hear wailings of Nigerians mourning the brutal killings of their loved ones at a market square.

Those who couldn't avert the killings or arrest those involved in the killings are the same people keeping you behind bars.

The future of Nigeria we all saw in Peace Corps of Nigeria is still strong. The future is still real.
But this future doesn't belong to men and women who are using instruments of state to downplay you.

This future doesn't belong to those armed men, who ones stormed your office at Jabi and brutalized defenceless peace merchants, their exploit saw blood patches on pathways that connects Jabi with emergency ward of National Hospital.

The same nozzle of guns they use to go after those who kill and threaten our existence, is the same gun they are using to go after men and woman who are on their side of patriotism and nation building.

Be strong and courageous, you are not alone, what they should settle with you on a roundtable of patriotism, nation building and honour, is what they are settling with you in a solitary confinement.

You are coming out, and I see you still purs
uing this ideal of Peace and nationhood in a new dimension.

Be strong, you are not alone. Tell your captors that if there is space there, there are many of us who are willing to come and spend your nights with you there.

May this pure, patriotic and holistic ideal of Peace Corps of Nigeria never be sacrificed on the altar of myopic and witch hunting.

My best and warmest regards.

MODs shud pls move d thread to front page

The Nigeria Police, NPF, has dismissed reports of harassing the National Commandant of Peace Corps of Nigeria, PCN, Dickson Akoh and 49 other officers of the Corps.

Recall that on February 28, 2017, reports had it that a combined team of Police officers and operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, raided the National Secretariat of the Corps in Abuja ,where Akoh was arrested and several others were allegedly brutalised.

Akoh alongside others were allegedly detained at a Police facility in Abuja for three days. The corps had alleged that they were detained without food, water, even as the young nursing mothers among them were denied access to their babies, for the period of the detention.

During the raid, six officers of the Corps were allegedly tortured while three others were taken to the National Hospital, Abuja in an unconscious state.

Against this backdrop, the organisation had dragged the Attorney–General of the Federation, Inspector –General of Police and the Director-General of the Department of State Service, DSS, before an Abuja Federal High Court over the
unlawful arrest and detention of Akoh and 49 others.

But in a swift reaction, the Nigeria Police also slammed the Peace Corps with a 90-count charge, demanding for N1.4bn.
The 2 suites are currently being heard by Justice Kolawole of the Federal High Court, Abuja.

In his ruling on March 16, 2017, Justice Gabriel Kolawole had issued a 12-day ultimatum to the Nigeria Police, to give reasons for the arrest, harassment and detention of Akoh and 49 others.

But, in a 20-paragraph counter affidavit dated 22nd March 2017, the Police debunked the alleged invasion and sealing of the Corps National Headquarters.

The Police in the affidavit deposed to before a Federal High Court, Abuja and signed by one Sergeant Philip Tumba of the CID unit, FCT Command, alleged that the Peace Corps was “organizing military-like training” for its officers.

The Force disagreed with the affidavit submitted by the Incorporated Trustees of Peace Corps of Nigeria in support of its originating summon, that the rights of Akoh and the 49 others was trampled upon.

According to the affidavit, “None of the applicants or any person whatsoever was manhandled, brutalized or harassed or intimidated by any of its personnel as falsely claimed.

“The Respondents did not invade or brutalized the applicants but only went to a suspected scene of crime in the lawful performance of its statutory duties to carry out investigation,” the counter affidavit reads in part.

On the sealing off of the Corps National Secretariat, the Police said, “The Respondents only cordoned a scene of crime to secure it for further and detail investigation.”

As at the time of filing this report, the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP, Jimoh Moshood has not responded to calls and text messages DAILY POST put across to him to confirm the veracity of the police denial.

Meanwhile, the National Commandant of the Corps, Dickson Akoh, has been rearrested, and has since then remained in police custody over the same matter.

mode, Mbok!!....do justice to this thread.

Why we ordered Police, DSS to justify attack on Peace Corps – Justice Kolawole

An Abuja Federal High Court has explained why it gave the Inspector General of Police, the National Security Adviser, and the Director General of Department of State Security Services, DSS, ultimatum to justify the clampdown on the Peace Corps of Nigeria.
The Justice Gabriel Kolawole-led court had on Thursday issued a 12-day ultimatum to IGP, DG of DSS and NSA to defend the recent attack on Peace Corps.

Justice Kolawole ordered in his ex-parte that they should defend the arrest and detention of the National Commandant of Peace Corps, Amb (Dr) Dickson Akoh and 49 other members of the corps.

The judge while delivering ruling in an ex-parte motion filed by the Incorporated Trustees of PCN and obtained by DAILY POST, held that the DSS, Police and NSA must justify in their affidavit evidence why previous judgements of the court in favour of Peace Corps were not complied with.

In the ruling that followed submissions of the former Attorney General of the Federation, Kanu Agabi for the applicant, Justice Kolawole said he was tempted to grant the prayers of the applicant in the ex parte motion and in view of previous judgements delivered by the court, but decided to give the defendants until March 28, 2017, to enable them respond in affidavit evidence to the brazen breach of fundamental rights of the applicants.

According to the judge, when he perused through several judgments of the court which had affirmed Peace Corps as a registered body by the Federal Government, and which had earlier restrained the defendants from “molesting, intimidating and harassing the applicants,” he was at a loss as to why the defendants chose to ignore the judgments in spite of letters from the AGF for compliance.
He frowned at the use of the so called “intelligence report” to cause infraction to the fundamental rights of Nigerian citizens, as guaranteed under the 1999 Constitution.
In view of this, Justice Kolawole vowed that the court shall not surrender it’s constitutional role of protecting the citizen.

He said, “I should state that, judicially speaking, there is nothing magical about intelligence/security reports that a court of law should upon its being mentioned, turn its tail and shirk from its constitutional duty to uphold the constitution and protect the rights of citizens, because, by the provisions of Section 36, there is no legal impediment that can prevent a court of law before whom a so called intelligence/security report is being brandished by agents of the state to justify an infraction of any of the rights guaranteed by the constitution.

“To allow this phenomena to take a firm root in our legal system by law enforcement agents, is to aid the gradual erosion of the foundation and efficacy of the constitution, and where that is allowed, we can as well bid a farewell to the concept of constitutional democracy, which in all civilized system, is firmly rooted in the principle of rule of law, which make government accountable to the people.”

WHILE THE NAKED DANCE OF SHAME BY THE NIGERIAN POLICE AGAINST PCN LASTED

When as a mere agency of government, you translated yourself into a quasi federal government and mischievously invade a law abiding Organisation as the Peace Corps of Nigeria (PCN), you will surely be in a state of mental retardation and apparent confusion when called upon to present a case buttressing the huge illegality perpetrated by ur agency
what next is expected apart from printing the organisation's bank transactions since 2002 till date and frivolously tag it as charges. That the erroneous 90 count charge aberrantly has 87 bordering on the Corps legitimate financial transactions since 2002 glaringly points to the facts that, the police authority have no substantial case against the Corps and its National Commandant.

Let it be known that, the voluntary payment interested Officers make to the organisation's account are meant to be spent on purchases of useful items from time to time and not meant to be laid dormant in the account awaiting police vetting
From every intent without prejudice, if the Nigerian Police and its cohorts can maintain half of the financial prudence and transparency the National Commandant and the National Executive Officers of the noble Organisation called PEACE CORPS OF NIGERIA thrive in, the Nigerian Police would have had its battered and financially dented image redeemed many years ago.

Nigerians followed with dismay the massive corruption case with one of the former IGP Balogun, and since then would want what nearly has become the trademark of the police authority (corruption) to be sorted out within the police. Nigerians no more count it worth discussing when it comes to the Nigerian Police and financial mismanagement cum corruption.

THE CASE IS NOT ABOUT FINANCIAL
MISMANAGEMENT OR CONVERT MILITARY TRAINING, IT IS OBVIOUSLY A CASE BURN OUT OF INTER AGENCY ENVY, THE DETERMINATION TO FRUSTRATE THE SOON TO BE ASSENTED NIGERIAN PEACE CORPS BILL IS WHAT LED TO THIS EMBARRASSING NAKED DANCE BY THE NIGERIAN POLICE AND ITS KIND

‘’A Masquerade that Dances for too long at the Market Square, Stands the Risk of being De-robed’’—-African Proverb

The protracted animosity between the Peace Corps of Nigeria (PCN) and its opponents, which recently climaxed in the crude invasion of its new corporate headquarters situated opposite Jabi Lake, Abuja on Tuesday, 28th 2017 and the arrest of the National Commandant, Ambassador (Dr) Dickson A. O. Akoh and forty nine officers of the Corps, is currently on the course of re-launching the Corps into national reckoning through the demystification of its implacable foes.


Putting the same issue in a different perspective, the recent institutionalization of a N2billion suit against the Police and the Department of State Service (DSS) at the Federal High Court, Abuja, has put the Corps in a vantage position or better still, on an unstoppable march to finally exposing the hypocrisy nay double standards of its opponents, who have over the years cruelly conspired to make its existence one long hell of frustration; an existence that has been characterized by brutalization, constant harassments, arrests and above all, illegal detention of its officers, most especially its National Commandant, Akoh, who like the Late legal luminary, Gani Fawehinmi, has been in and out of detention several times over. Happily enough, through this process, Akoh has been toughened so much so that he has developed a thick skin to all the shenanigans of his opponents.


What makes this latest onslaught against the PCN really worrisome is that in spite of the weighty allegations of terrorism and stock-pilling of arms leveled against the Corps, the only exhibit the Police could display before the whole world is the official uniform and portrait of the National Commandant. Little wonder, the Police could not summon the courage to charge the officers of the Corps to Court. How sad!
This in turn necessitated the current Court action of the Corps to seek legal redress with a view to exposing to the whole world the inexplicable wickedness of the security agencies against its corporate interest. In a suit, which was instituted by a former Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Mr. Kanu Agabi (SAN), the plaintiffs, apart from demanding a sum of N2bn as compensation for the embarrassment caused the Peace Corps of Nigeria and its Incorporated Trustees, are also asking the court to declare as illegal, unlawful and unconstitutional, the arrest of Dr. Akoh and other officers of the Corps as well as the sealing off of its Head office in Abuja and offices in the 36 States of the Federation.

In addition to the above reliefs, the applicants also asked the presiding judge, Justice Gabriel Kolawole, to declare that they are entitled to Fundamental Rights, to acquire and own properties, lawful assembly, Freedom of movement, personal liberty and dignity of their human persons, as guaranteed under sections 34, 35, 40, 41, and 43 of the 1999 constitution.
Consequently, the plaintiffs, therefore, applied for an order, compelling the respondents to unseal the Headquarters of the Peace Corps of Nigeria and its offices nationwide and to release properties seized during the “unlawful invasion” of their office.
Similarly, the applicants prayed the court for an order of perpetual injunction, restraining the respondents, their privies or agents, from further sealing the applicants’ office and disrupting their activities, including its meetings and orientation of its members, nationwide.

With this Court action, the Corps, has once again re-affirmed its irrevocable commitment to the rule of law and assured its Staff Officers/volunteers and millions of supporters worldwide that it is determined to explore all legal options available to secure its mandate and above all, to expose the politics of bad belle underpinning the action of its enemies, who hide under the nebulous concept of national security interest to trample on the rights of other Nigerians with reckless impunity.

It is an open secret that the various arms of the nation’s security agencies as presently constituted today harbour a sizeable number of criminally-minded elements. With their long chequered history of brutality, indiscriminate arrests/detention and killing of innocent Nigerians, nobody has called for the proscription of any of these security agencies. So, why the constant haranguing of the Peace Corps of Nigeria, an organization that has the promotion of peace, rendering of community services and neighborhood-watch as its cardinal objectives?
It would be recalled that the Corps had in the past scored three major judicial victories against the Police, with damages running into millions of naira awarded in its favour.

But the Corps had always declined to claim the damages on the grounds that it is the Federal Government that will end up paying it, instead of the lawless individuals who flagrantly abridged the rights of the Corps with absolute nay reprehensible abandon. The past cases that were decided in favour of the Corps include: Suit NO FHC/ABJ/CS/231/2010; Suit NO FHA/ABJ/CS/481/2012, which was delivered on 22nd April, 2012; Suit NO FHC/ABJ/CS/613/07 and a report of Police Investigation into the activities of the Corps dated 25th April 2008, which exonerated the Corps of any criminal activity.

As Nigerians wait patiently for this legal action instituted by the Corps to run its full course, expectations are high that just like its previous resounding victories, the Corps currently stands on an impregnable ground to demystify its opponents in the Court.

Its victory will be a victory for the proponents of the rule of law; a victory against tyranny, oppression and man’s inhumanity to man. Over the years, the security agencies have relied on vile opportunism, unflappable sycophancy and trenchant collaboration of corrupt elements in the society to ride roughshod over innocent Nigerians, but thank God that we are no longer in that era of business-as-usual. With the kind of discipline that President Buhari’s administration is gradually instilling in all Nigerians, the current court action of the Peace Corps of Nigeria has all the potentialities of not only exposing the rot in the nation’s security architecture, but also demystifying those who have vowed to halt the upward mobility of the Corps under Dr. Akoh’s leadership. At least, it will serve as a bitter lesson for other enemies of the Corps who might be waiting in the wings to spring other morbid surprise(s) on the organization. A word, it is often said, is enough for the wise!

The Nigerian military has disclosed plans to change the Nigerian Army Institute of Technology and Environmental Studiesm, NAITES, to a military university.

The school will now be known as the Nigerian Army University of Technology and Environmental Studies, NAUTES, when the plan is fully implemented, making it the second military university in Nigeria.

The Nigerian Defense Academy, NDA, in Kaduna is currently the only military university in Nigeria.
The rector of the technology and environmental institute, Clement Ojo, told PREMIUM TIMES that the change will take full effect when the committee that was set up to effect the transition submits its report and it is approved by the convening authority.

“The committee is to submit some essential documents to the National Universities Commission, NUC. When that is done, the school will then reflects the new designation,” Mr. Ojo, a brigadier general, said.
On the initial relocation of the school from Makurdi, Benue State to Biu in Borno State, the rector noted that the school has only partly moved to Biu, Borno State.

“The remaining movement will be gradual depending on availability of structures to accommodate all students. The Rector and other administrative staff have however moved fully”, Mr. Ojo added.
The army had earlier disclosed the commencement of the 2016/2017 academic session in Biu, after relocation from Benue.

The Borno State government had allocated 5000 hectares of land for the setting up of the school.
The NUC Director of Information, Public relations, Ibrahim Yakasai, also told PREMIUM TIMES that the army informed the commission of the intention to turn the school into a university.

“They came to us and we have given them a check list of what it requires to make the school a university. So if they go and do that and the government is ready to fund them, why won’t the school be a university?

President Muhammadu Buhari arrived the country Friday at about 4 a .m . , 51 days after he left the country on a medical vacation .
Owing to the closure of the Abuja airport , presidency sources informed THISDAY that his plane was scheduled to land at the Kaduna airport in the wee hours of Friday , following which he was to be flown by helicopter to the President Villa, Abuja .

The sources also revealed that the president might address the nation Friday after his long absence, in order to quell any concerns over his capacity to govern.
The news of his return Friday was broken last night in a statement by his media aide , Mr . Femi Adesina .

Adesina recalled that the president left the shores of the country on January 19 for a vacation , during which he was scheduled to undergo routine medical check -ups .
He said the scheduled vacation was however extended due to the advice by his doctors that he undergoes further medical tests .

“ The holiday was extended based on doctors ’ recommendation for further tests and rest .
“ President Buhari expresses appreciation to teeming Nigerians from across the country and beyond , who had prayed fervently for him and also sent their good wishes ,” the statement said

Earlier Thursday , the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rev . Justin Welby , had paid a visit to Buhari in Abuja House, London where the president had resided throughout his medical vacation .
The president , who announced Welby ’ s visit on his Facebook page , said he was pleased to receive the archbishop, whom he described as his friend .

“ Very pleased to welcome my friend, the Most Rev . Hon . Justin Welby , the Archbishop of Canterbury,” the president had said .
