Public Statement: APC Somolu Fed Rep, Kuye Sent Legal Threat to Comrade Buna, Not Threat to Life..

Still on Hon. Kuye and HURMA.

Advertisment

It becomes imperative following several calls and advice from families and friends over the recent encounter I had with the Hon. Member of Federal House of Representative for Somolu Constituency, Hon. Ademorin Kuye over his reactions to our office position on the publication “Recent Somolu Killings: Hold Dullar; Olowo and Kuye Responsible, Not Police”, in the interview published by Rights Monitors news where I maintained that the general insecurity in Somolu community is as a result of failure of those in government at that level to unite and work on the constitutional primary responsibility of government which is the security of life and welfare of the people. But to my surprise, Hon. Kuye after a brotherly telephone conversation with me, went ahead to send a letter of legal threat to my office demanding that his name should be withdrawn and I must also publish same, otherwise the court of law would be his next move. This letter was sent through his lawyer, Ayoola Julius and HURMA’s lawyers had given and sent a prelimany response appropriately holding on to our position while awaiting their next step.

I have since been receiving advice and warnings from families and friends that I should move away from the community for fear of possible attacks from the Hon. Kuye group and his overzealous blind loyalists, sent by him or acting alone, which may come now or in the nearest future.

Advertisment

It is on this note that I need to set the record straight to the public and clear whatever misconception among the general public that I believe so much that the threat I received is only legal limited and not threat to my life or any member of my family as being misconstrued for now.
“I RECEIVED LEGAL THREAT FROM HON. KUYE AND NOT THREAT TO LIFE”.

It is also important to seize this opportunity to give a humble advice to Hon. Kuye and other politicians in public offices on how to relate with people like us in the future.

Before giving my sincere general advice to our political office holders who are often more of exploiters and oppressors, on how to react to genuine activists and organizations that are sincerely struggling for total emancipation of the oppressed from all forms of exploitation and oppression, I want to reassure Hon. Ademorin Kuye that our organization and myself have no personal issues with him but we are always driven by public interest. We recall that he and some other community have had cause to support our work in the past when the issues were of collective interest just like our organisation’s social justice interests on this state of insecurity in Somolu community which led to the gruesome murder of late Sulaiman Olumegbon.

To deal with any form of criticism from genuine activists and organizations, it is important to be patient and get the message correctly with sincerity. To get this done, politicians must always switch off the light of political power supply and put on that of humanity. Most of politically exposed people are surrounded by sycophantic friends and violent political followers and killer squad who always paint them as God that is flawless. Hon. Kuye should learn from this and should not consider any criticism as an attack on his person, office or political life.

This might have actually informed the messages from my friends and relatives to be careful or better move away from Somolu community for fear of possible attack from Kuye which according to them may come now or in the nearest future.

The office of the Human Rights Monitoring Agenda (HURMA) is open and available to all members of the public, a replica of what we desire with Kuye’s constituency office as well. Our office is blessed with dedicated personalities from all fields including those that have attained position of SAN in the legal field of genuine struggle for humanity. We are also daily approached by both the good; the bad, and the ugly. Our target is to ensure that all lives must improve for better. People daily troop our office and cry their hearts out and we attend to all, but most concern with issues affecting fundamental rights. It is with that spirit of pains that the people express regularly that inform our positions
We remain committed and steadfast.

Yours in Struggle,

Comrade Buna Olaitan Isiak
Executive Director
Human Rights Monitoring Agenda (HURMA)

PUBLIC NOTICE: URGENT APPEAL FOR PEACE AND SECURITY IN RIVERS STATE: A CALL TO ACTION FOR THE PRESIDENT*

**PUBLIC NOTICE: URGENT APPEAL FOR PEACE AND SECURITY IN RIVERS STATE: A CALL TO ACTION FOR THE PRESIDENT**

Dear Esteemed Citizens of Nigeria,

Advertisment

As concerned citizens and representatives of the Dwellers of Coastal and Waterways Communities of Africa (DCWCA), our hearts weigh heavy with concern for the safety and security of our beloved nation, particularly in Rivers State. Recent developments have seen allover the internet news online a troubling plot that threatens to undermine the peace and stability painstakingly built by our coastal communities.

We are gravely disturbed by reports indicating a sinister scheme aimed at disrupting the commendable efforts of Royal Fouchee Security Limited, spearheaded by the esteemed Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo Asari. It pains us deeply to learn that the very guardians of our security, the Nigeria Security Agencies, are allegedly orchestrating an assault on the dedicated workers of Royal Fouchee Security Agency and other private security entities in Rivers State.

Advertisment

In this hour of uncertainty, we turn our eyes to the highest office of the land, the esteemed President of Nigeria, with an impassioned plea for intervention. Mr. President, we beseech you to heed our call and use your authority to halt any actions that may endanger the lives and well-being of our coastal citizens. Your decisive action is imperative in preventing further escalation of tensions and preserving the peace that is the lifeblood of our coastal communities.

While we cannot definitively prove the political undertones behind these alarming developments, the whispers of suspicion linger in the air. It is incumbent upon our leaders to rise above partisan interests and prioritize the safety and security of every Nigerian, particularly those in our coastal regions who are vulnerable to various challenges.

Let us not forget the lessons of our past, where political differences were allowed to sow seeds of discord and division among our coastal brethren. Instead, let us unite in solidarity, transcending political boundaries to safeguard the sanctity of our democracy and the welfare of our coastal people.

Mr. President, we implore you to intervene swiftly and decisively, sending a clear message that the security and well-being of every coastal Nigerian is non-negotiable. Your actions today will shape the destiny of our nation and reaffirm our collective commitment to peace, unity, and progress.

With unwavering hope and trust in your leadership,

Dwellers of Coastal and Waterways Communities of Africa (DCWCA)

President/CEO]

Sahara Weekly Reports That The Edi Abali Group has raised an alarm concerning a security threat to the ancestral home and assets of Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari, the Paramount Ruler of Edi Abali Group of War Canoe and Chieftaincy Houses in the Kalabari Kingdom of Rivers State, by the military.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edi Abali Group Raises Alarm Over Security Threat to Ancestral Home, Assets of Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari

 

 

 

 

 

In a public notice issued by the Edi Abali Group it states that credible intelligence has revealed plans by elements within the 103 Battalion of the Nigerian Army in Obuama to provoke a confrontation and disrupt the peace in the area.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

According to the notice, the plot specifically targets Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari, who is currently out of the country. The army allegedly plans to exploit his absence in order to create a crisis that could be wrongly attribited to the community members, resulting in attacks on innocent individuals. The Edi Abali Group clarifies that there are no issues between their community, the army, and Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari or his company, Royal Fouche Services Limited.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The notice highlights that the tensions arose after Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari spoke out about the involvement of some elements of the Nigerian Army in oil bunkering activities in the Niger Delta. These activities reportedly deprived the government of the much-needed revenue, leading to displeasure among these elements. The group believes that they are deliberately instigating a crisis involving the personnel of Royal Fouche Services to justify an attack on innocent indigenes of the Kalabari communities, particularly in Obuama where Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari is based, as well as the 103 Battalion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mr Mpakaboari Pankin Braide said,

 

 

“The army in Obuama is aware of his absence from the country and plans to exploit this to create a crisis, which will be wrongly attributed to community members, leading to attacks on innocent individuals.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Edi Abali Group calls upon the Nigerian Army to be aware of this plot and to ensure that they are not manipulated into compromising peace and security in the area. They also highlight the proven record of collaboration between Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari and Royal Fouche Services Limited with security agencies in combating terrorism, kidnapping, and insurgency.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The group aims to inform the public, as well as the people of Kalabari and Rivers State, about this planned provocation targeting innocent individuals, including Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari. They emphasize his commitment to supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Federal Government and Governor Sim Fubara-led Rivers State Governments in ensuring the safety and security of all Nigerians.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Said Mr Mpakaboari Pankin Braide

Secretary Edi Abali Group Of War Canoe and Chieftaincy Houses,

 

 

 

 

 

 

“We want the public, people of Kalabari and Rivers State to be aware of this planned provocation targeting innocent individuals, including Alhaji Mujahid Abubakr Dokubo-Asari, who remains committed to supporting the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led Federal Government and Governor Sim Fubara-led Rivers State Governments in ensuring safety and security for all Nigerians.”
