DSS/Ifeanyi Ubah: Thousands in Court on Solidarity for Ifeanyi Ubah as Court adjourn the matter to 25th May ,2017

 By Ade Omoletu, Lagos.Today,

The Court premises was filled with people from different works of live on solidarity for Ifeanyi Ubah.

The group that is made of market women and men , civil society organizations , Igbo groups , labour unions etc were all at the court in solidarity with Dr Ifeanyi Ubah .

You may recall that DSS had on 5th May arrested Ifeanyi Ubah ,the MD Capital Oil and Gas for what they alleged to be a case of stealing , illegal diverting of NNPC Fuel and inciting of the labour union .

But, Capital Oil and Gas and Labour union (NUPENG ) have denied the allegations  by stating that NNPC is indebted to the Capital Oil and gas to the tune of over N16billion .

Publicity secretary of Human Right group ( Right Watch ), Dr Tunde O Tunde who was also at the court stated that the incarceration of Dr Ifeanyi Ubah amount to not just threat to his right ,but threat to the Nigeria Democracy .

According to him :

"Why overheating the Polity? This is a mere commercial transaction between NNPC and Capital Oil which should be resolved inline with the contractual principles . Using coercion forces of the govt on this issue amount to threat to Nigeria Democracy ." he submits.

Moreso, one Mrs Edith questioned the government's commitment in tackling the mirage of challenges facing the people .

" imagine that over 2000 workers and their families are under economic threat due to the Govt action on Capital Oil . I was thinking that govt should be more considerate on the plight of the people than hitting the people hard through their malicious actions against Capital Oil and Gas ?" she asked

A Security Consultant Mr Godwin Ayo, also informed the press that Nigerian Security agency should upgrade its operational tactics and  understand the modern ways of securing the Country .

According to him ,
" Just look at the way they ended up making Mazi Nnamdi KANU  who was unknown by Nigerians until they arrested him famous .

Today, we are making the same mistake. You arrested Ifeanyi Ubah on issue that has to do with Commercial transactions which ought to be treated in a civil court and today, not only that you are creating panic in the system and building unnecessary tension in the the polity, but you are even making him a hero." He said.

" Governemnt should not be seen as the one creating multi lines of regional Cum ethnic  tensions and mutual distrust amongst its citizenry by its actions".

Watching closely, you will observe that  South East is one zone that believe that Buhari led Federal Government is against them and the Federal government through its  security agency should not be seen  confirming this widely held belief.

Currently, the issue  of the Zone being excluded from the Coastal Railway projects is trending, thereby confirming this belief, now when you juxtapose it with the commando style and militaristic interference of DSS in a pure Civil case involving two business partners by arresting Dr Ifeanyi Ubah, the MD of Capital Oil and gas and subsequently disobeying for the second time a valid  court order to produce him leaves one with no choice, but to believe that this is a calculated effort to kill the enterprises of the zone.

DSS must as a matter of national interest and in clear respect of democratic tenets live up to its statutory responsibility and stop taking us aback to the era of dictatorial military regimes.

#Justice4IfeanyiUbah is now a National anthem

Anambra State and Nigeria cannot afford to hastily get used to this phenomenal development in her sporting world.

#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...
