Published

By Ifeoma Ikem

The Governorship aspirant in Bayelsa State (PDP), Hon.Tari Oliver has condemned the alleged invasion of Azagbene community in Ekeremor Local Government Area of the state on Tuesday 23 July, 2019 in a reprisal to the alleged killing of two Nigerian army personnel leading to the destruction of properties of innocent civilians and the burning down of the entire village.

Hon Tari,disclosed this through a press released made available to Sahara weekly that as a peace loving citizen of the country, she strongly condemned all acts of violence and extrajudicial killings in the communities even as she went ahead to condemn the killing of soldiers by criminals and called on the appropriate authorities to go after the perpetrators of the crime and ensure they get punished according to the law.

However she noted that the country was guided by constitution adding that when offences were said to have been committed, the law should be allowed to take its course.“Therefore, I condemn the act of punishing innocent citizens by destruction of their properties, because of a crime committed by a few bad eggs. I ask that personnel of the Nigerian army henceforth refrain from transferring their aggression and quest for vengeance to innocent law-abiding citizens who are also victims of these criminal elements.

This alleged attack by the military which is similar to the Odi military massacre of 1999 is barbaric and genocidal and has the trappings of jungle justice.“I therefore call on the government, civil societies, organizations, and all well-meaning Nigerians to raise their voices against this act of wickedness and injustice.

The continuous killing of innocent Ijaw sons and daughters and the burning of properties is nothing but injustice and oppression of unarmed citizens.“I call on the President and Commander-In-Chief to set up a panel to investigate this evil act and ensure that the inhabitants of Azagbene community get the justice that they deserve. The perpetrators of this act should be severely punished to serve as a deterrent from future occurrence.“I demand in clear terms the rebuilding of the community and the prosecution of all offenders no matter whose ox is gored”, said she

Appeal Court Removes MC Oluomo, Reinstate Baruwa

 

 

The Appeal Court in Abuja has announced Alhaji Tajudeen Ibikunle Baruwa as the lawful President of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW).

Appeal Court Removes MC Olumo, Reinstate Baruwa

It can be recalled that Musiliu Ayinde Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo, was days ago inaugurated as NURTW president.

The recent decision came after the court reviewed and upheld an earlier ruling by the National Industrial Court.

The initial judgment, delivered on March 11, 2024, recognized Baruwa as the rightful president of the union. However, an appeal was filed by Alhaji Najeem Usman Yasin, Alhaji Tajudeen Agbede, and their supporters. They argued against the Industrial Court’s decision but were unsuccessful in convincing the appellate court.

A three-member panel of justices, Hamma Akawu Barka, Nnamdi Dimgba, and Asmau Ojuolape Akanbi, ruled that the appeal lacked merit. The court declared Baruwa as the elected leader of NURTW and dismissed the challenge brought forward by MC Oluomo’s faction.

In addition to confirming Baruwa’s position, the Appeal Court ordered the appellants, who are supporters of MC Oluomo, to pay N100,000 as damages to the respondents.
