Folks, recall that I promised in October 2020 that we will proceed with 19 cases of police brutality handled by my law firm to the civil court to:
1. Enforce the right to life of those killed by the police;
2. Seek an order compelling the IGP to arrest and arraign CSP Nwafor
and all officers named for the murders.
I have now kept the promise and will be acting on behalf of 19 families ( and perhaps more as other families join in one of the biggest class actions against the police), thanks to my colleagues @vicchinyeaka and Rodney Adzuanaga
Legal actions are expensive and in the present economic climate, mounting class action against the police and Attorney General of the Federation is expensive. In this wise, I'm requesting for the support of every citizen of conscience who likes our work to support us.
There's a N1m dedicated fund backed my law firm @EphesisL and a victim's family.
If you want to support us, please, pay to:

From our court:
Sharika & Sons v Governor of Kaduna State & ors (2013):

“In Chief John Eze v. Dr. Cosmas I. Okechukwu (1998) 5 NWLR (pt. 548) 43 at 73, the Court opined that: “A public officer, in my view is a holder of a public office. He is in the public sector of the economy
as distinct and separate from the private sector. He is entitled to some remuneration from the public revenue or treasury. He has some authority conferred on him by law. He also has a fixed tenure of office which must have some permanency or continuity.
Above all, a public officer has the power to exercise some amount of sovereign authority or function of government. The Sovereign authority may be great or enormous. It may be little or small. There should be that element of sovereign authority.

Here's my response to the decision which nullified S.84(12) of the Electoral Act (2022 Amendment). Straight off, it is a wrong judgment, which erroneously interpreted the said section as being in conflict with Ss. 66 (1); 107 (1) (f); 137 (1) (g); 142(2); 182 and 187(2) CFRN 1999
Two things I find offensive with the judgment, besides the wrong interpretation of the law, are:
1. That it was sinister for whoever filed the suit in FHC Umuahia not have brought NASS which passed the Electoral Bill as a party to the suit;
2. There are provisions in the Rules
which provide that suits may be brought against defendants in jurisdictions where they carry out their ordinary businesses. Why Umuahia, when NASS carries out its legislative business in Abuja? Clearly, a case of forum-shopping by the AGF who appears to be the invisible hand

Have just read the legal opinions of two of my buddies, Ozekhome SAN and Okutepa SAN, on the removal of Gov Umahi, per the judgment of Ekwo J. Both senior lawyers engage law with a certain elegance and felicity and as it is often the case their views always align with mine.
Okutepa's view on jurisdiction is what I engaged here yesterday. This is a summary of his views: that by the community reading of Sections 68(1)(g), 188 and 251(4) of the CFRN 1999, the court lacks the jurisdiction to sack a Governor. He relies on a long line of SC authorities
Ozekhome, on his part, argues that votes belong to candidates and not parties. He cites a long line of authorities which overruled Amaechi's case.
In spite of the logic of Ekwo's judgment - he's a fine judge I must stress - the judgment cannot pass the appellate courts' tests

Will the fuel scarcity end soon?
The G.O says the end isn't in sight, for these reasons:
1. Nobody is taking responsibility for the remediation of the February dirty petrol. Cost of remediation is huge.
2. In spite of the claim of NNPC, there is no fresh fuel injection
The 20k MT of fuel which was on anchorage on our waters a few weeks ago ( February 14 - 27) CANNOT clear the fuel queues. NNPC cannot make further fresh fuel injection because it won't accept it is broke. And it can't make fresh fuel injection with the current global oil price
3. The racketeering aided by NNPC is making fuel injection into the petrol stations' forecourts impossible. For these reasons:
a. NNPC has shut its eyes to fuel depots, privately owned, selling petrol way above the depot lifting price of N148 per litre.

It is a matter of education and skill, really. What would I have done? Hear: "Hon Minister, Sir, we understand that the crisis of funding of education has taken dangerous dimensions. One dimension is the acute strikes which confront the education sector.
Rather than address the problems of strikes, the ruling class, including yourself, has chosen to send their kids abroad for tertiary education. This attitude highlights one of two things: (1) Either you and the class don't believe in the Economic and Recovery Growth Plan
rolled out by your government and with specific reference to improve funding ( Here, the NANS President waves the document to the Minister); (2) There's a conscious philosophy of providing second class education to the poor of our country, while your kids get the best elsewhere"
