Prof Osibanjo Recycles Judicial Commission of Inquiry Chair!



His Excellency Acting President of Nigeria Prof Osibanjo,

In 2013, Gov Amaechi set up a Judicial Commission of Inquiry  under the Chairmanship of Justice Biobele Georgewill.   The same Judge who now heads the Judicial Commission of inquiry set up few days ago. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/239297-just-osinbajo-sets-judicial-commission-probe-human-rights-abuses-nigerian-military.html

 Recall that Kaduna State government had set up a judicial inquiry and had produced a report and recommendation on the  extra-judicial killing of  hundreds of Shiites  Dec 2015. http://kdsg.gov.ng/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Report-of-the-Judicial-Commission-of-Inquiry-into-the-Zaria-Clashes1.pdf

Aware that the commission of inquiry  appointed by then Gov Amaechi was headed by the same Justice Biobele Georgewill and was declared unconstitutional by Justice Lamenkara Iyaye of the High Court of Rivers State, all its members restrained. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/142892-rivers-assembly-crisis-court-declares-amaechis-commission-of-inquiry-unconstitutional.html

There is no representative of the National Human Rights Commission NHRC in the judicial probe you set up; rather  you appointed a representative of the National Security Commission. There is also no member of the NBA Human Rights Institute inaugurated weeks ago nor is there present any known member of the International human rights community. Pursuant to the Tribunal of Inquiry Act,  may I ask if the hearing is going to be a public hearing or  they will sit in closed sessions?

Prof Sagay advised  against your appointment  into ICPC of  2 nominees who had taken Billions from their Institutions,  need to  avoid those mistakes President Buhari initially made and I sent early signals to please watch his loss of  goodwill and PMB didn’t listen until his popularity  with the Talakawas nosedived.


All the Best.
