AKWA IBOM PPRO IS DANCING ON THE CORPSE OF KUBIAT ISAAC

As the lawyer representing the family of Kubiat Isaac Akpan, I have been inundated with messages and calls from members of the public seeking my response to the press release issued this morning by the Akwa Ibom PPRO.

I did not initially intend to respond at this time to the press release but the calls and messages have become unbearable. This preliminary response has thus become imperative.

It is quite sad to see media houses, including prominent and credible ones, publish reports on the press release issued this morning by SP Odiko Macdon, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in Akwa Ibom State, on the murder of Kubiat Isaac Akpan,

without bothering to reach out to me or any member of the deceased family to get our reaction.

What happened to balancing stories before publication? Only Premium Times reached out to me to get our response to MacDon's press release.

Radio stations, newspapers and blogs reported the mendacious, inflammatory, insensitive and offensive press release without considering the effect it will have on the family, friends, colleagues and loved ones of the deceased.

The deceased family is grieving and inconsolable. The minimum that the PPRO should do is to speak nothing but the truth. The aged parents of Kubiat are weeping endlessly over the murder of their only son who just graduated from the University of Uyo where he studied Architecture.

The Akwa Ibom State Commissioner of Police has not visited the family of the deceased. Yet, the PPRO decided to dance on the corpse of Kubiat Isaac.

To be specific, MacDon's allusion to cultism, armed robbery and evasion of arrest are nothing but pure fiction.

He should tell the public what he hopes to achieve by concocting this fictional narrative.

Kubiat was never under investigation for alleged armed robbery or cultism or any criminal case for that matter.

It is astonishingly provocative that the PPRO asserted falsely, without any basis, that the deceased was evading police arrest.

Kubiat was not sick and had no pre-existing medical condition prior to his arrest on Sunday, the 29th day of August, 2021.

The claim by the PPRO that Kubiat complained about ill-health while he was at B Division, Ewet Housing Estate, Uyo is uncanny and preposterous.

This is a very irresponsible behaviour by SP MacDon who knows or ought to know that lying against the dead is evil, vicious and against African culture. His statement has made things worse for the deceased family.

We are considering filing a petition at the Police Headquarters in Abuja and the Police Service Commission against SP MacDon.

Kubiat was arrested while relaxing at Eni Stores in Uyo by some policemen at about 7pm on Sunday, August 29, 2021 and taken to B Division, Ewet Housing Estate, Uyo. He did not come out of police custody alive.

Until his life was taken away, Kubiat was awaiting mobilization for service by the National Youth Service Corps.

MIRACLE MONEY: ISRAEL BALOGUN DETAINED OVER PETITION BY APOSTLE JOHNSON SULEMAN

Mr. Israel Goodnews Balogun has been detained and is spending the night in a cell at the Force Criminal Intelligence and Investigation Department (FCIID) at Area 10, Garki, Abuja

over a petition written against him by Apostle Johnson Suleman on alleged criminal defamation and cyberstalking.

Mr Balogun in a video had debunked the claims of the founder of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Suleman, that he commanded angels to send and deposit money

into the bank account of some worshippers in Auchi, Edo State and Atlanta, Georgia, United States.

Following an invitation by the police, I reported with my client today at the FCIID where we spent nearly ten (10) hours with the investigation team.

It is becoming embarrassing and at the same time increasingly difficult for young people to write and express themselves properly when chatting or communicating with someone on social media.

Proper communication should not be so difficult, especially when you are chatting with someone you are not very familiar with.

How do you begin a conversation with someone with irritating usages like “sup”, “hw ws ur nyt”, “GM”, “aait” and the likes? It is offensive.

It is a way of signaling that you're not prepared for important conversation.

If you send messages to me using those fragmented, esoteric, casual, mundane and irritating usages, I will likely ignore or treat your messages with levity.

STATEMENT ON THE ARREST OF NWOKO SAN BY EFCC

Immediate past Attorney General of Akwa Ibom State, Mr. Uwemedimo Nwoko SAN has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). My position is that he should clear his name in court.

Officials of the Akwa Ibom State Government believe that they are above the law. The whole world recently read scandalous reports from the Accountant General of the State on how the current governor is wasting public funds with impunity.

As Attorney General, Nwoko SAN ensured that frivolous charges were filed against those who opposed the government of Akwa Ibom State. He basically turned the State Ministry of Justice into a partisan machinery of the ruling party in the State.

Pro-government minions are in the habit of invoking the name of the Great Gani Fawehinmi in their desperation to scandalize other activists. The same Gani was despised by successive regimes. If Gani were still alive, these sycophants will abuse him. Gani was accused falsely too.

Dr. Olu Onagoruwa betrayed Gani, his friend, and accepted to serve as Attorney General to Gen. Abacha. When he opted out, Abacha junta murdered his son who was working with the NIA. Dr Onagoruwa falsely accused Gani of collecting money from Gen. Buhari to buy a house in London.

Chief Gani Fawehinmi refuted the allegation. On several times, Gani was arrested on trumped up charges, including affray, treasonable felony and so on. In the eyes of the corrupt regimes, he was a criminal. Gani was hated. Attempts were made to kill him. He was despised.
