BREAKING: DSS not willing to produce Ifeanyi Ubah in court

Baring any last minute u-turn, it has been uncovered that Nigeria's secret Police, the Department of State Services, DSS, are adamant to produce the Chairman, Capital Oil and Gas, Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, before the Justice Muhammed Idris Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, on Friday, May 12, 2017.

Recall that on Tuesday, May 9, 2017, Justice Idris ordered the DSS to produce Dr. Ubah before his court today (Friday), and show why the oil mogul should not be released unconditionally.

The Honorable Justice was ruling in the ex-parte application filed by Ifeoma Esom, Counsel to Dr. Ubah, to compel Ubah's unconditional release from the custody of the DSS, where he has been since Friday, May 5, 2017.

Last night, a DSS Source who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak on the matter, said its operatives will not produce Ubah in court today, as directed by Justice Muhammed Idris, because its Director-General, Lawal Daura is out of the country with President Muhammadu Buhari.

It could be recalled that President Buhari departed Nigeria for London last Sunday, for follow-up medical consultation with his doctors.

Daura, being one of President Buhari's closest allies is said to have escorted the President to London.

The DSS operative said: "It is expected of us to produce the Chairman of Capital Oil and Gas, Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah, in Court, tomorrow (Friday), as ordered by Justice Muhammed Idris of the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos. But I must confess that that won't happen because our DG is out of the country. He joined President Buhari's entourage to London, last Sunday, where the President went for follow-up medical consultation with his doctors."

He stated that "The DSS, under this current leadership is now ran as a one man show. Once the DG is not around to give orders and directives, no action can be taken in his absence. Anyone who does that no matter how highly placed in the Service risks losing his or her job."

Efforts made to contact the Public Relations Officer of the DSS, Tony Opiuyo, to confirm the development proved futile, as he was not taking his calls.

It remains to be seen how Justice Idris would react to this flagrant disobedience of his Orders as the Court resumes for hearing by 10.00am today (Friday).

#OzubuluMassacre, Bishop Reacts: Defamation and false allegations

Defamation and false allegations My attention has been drawn to a social media campaign where it is alleged that I am  connected to the Ozubulu church killing over a drug problem. For the avoidance of any doubt I wish to inform the general public that I know nothing about the church killings and i have never been involved in drugs. I have never been arrested or convicted anywhere in the world. My businesses are legitimate buinesses, duly registered. Apart from warehousing and wholesale of goods I am also a contractor involved in the construction of roads and  infrastructure in Nigeria. It's shameful that Nigerians and the media don't verify any story before running with them. The handwork of those who are jealous of my success and who are determined to tarnish my image is  evident. The Church killings is an unprecedented evil that deserves full investigation to unmask the perpetrators. We await investigations and full police report of the church attack. In the mea...

ILLEGAL DETENTION: CAPITAL OIL WORKERS CALL ON FG TO RESOLVE IMPASSE AS DSS FAILS TO PROVIDE DR. UBAH AGAIN

Nigeria's secret Police, the Department of State Services on Thursday, again failed to produce the Chairman, Capital Oil and Gas, Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, before Justice Muhammed Idris of the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos. This is in flagrant disregard of the May 12, 2017, court order given to the DSS by Justice Idris, to produce Ubah in court today. However, this came as no fewer than 500 supporters from across different ethnic groups stormed the Federal High Court, Ikoyi, today, to rally around and show support for the oil mogul. This is even as anger and moral indignation has continued to swell further over the continued detention of the Nnewi-born Billionaire Businessman, by the DSS Leading the pack of those who have condemned the DSS continued detention of Ubah are Pan-Igbo group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo; Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC); the National Association of South East Nigeria Students (NASENS), HURIWA, Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State and  affected workers of Capita...
