ANTI-TORTURE: NIGERIA MENTIONED AS A FRONT ROW COUNTRY OF TORTURE!

Dear Colleagues,

You may not have participated in the IBA-United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights day's event in Kings College London on Monday 26-6-17. Human Rights Champions and Civil Society Leaders like Olisa Agbakoba SAN some say also made millions from AMCON and Admiralty/Maritime with all that he made could not sponsor himself to IBA much more any of its human rights programs. He is saving. Who takes money to heaven?.

The Executive Director of International Bar Association (IBA) Mark Ellis in presenting the overview and introduction mentioned Nigeria - top row of countries who apply Torture; who Torture citizens; who use State and non-State actors to Torture people. But why?

Torture is a tool for Hate.  When a man seeks referendum in the south east and you lock him up for two years in part in solitary cell it is defined as torture and it becomes an international crime by the State. Another man his contemporary made a video recording with his brothers and threatened eviction by October 1, and powerful as DSS, Nigeria police, other security outfits headed by a section, no one could arrest Northern youth. He even had the effrontery to grant Punch newspaper interview lately, and spoke to human rights Lawyer Falana SAN.

Falana nearly missed being a Priest. He failed the seminary. Last week Catholics in West Africa celebrated the centenary birthday of its first Bishop His Eminence Dominic Cardinal Ekandem 1917-2017. In his homily, the Archbishop of Calabar His Grace, Most Rev. Dr Joseph Ekuwem reaffirmed Most Rev. Dr Martin Luther Kings quote that hate is an unnecessary burden. Love your neighbour as yourself. That envy leads to hate and hate leads to destruction.

CONCLUSION: Nigeria integrate Igbos; destruction, extermination or extinct not a good idea.

Thank you

CA
