BREAKING: Kenya Arrest: Buhari Govt Loses Against Nnamdi Kanu In Court

Obey UN decision on Nnamdi Kanu – Ohanaeze has told Nigerian Govt.

News ToGo reports that the Apex Igbo group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has welcomed the decision of the United Nations, in which it asked the Federal Government of Nigeria to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

According to reports, the United Nations, UN Human Rights Council Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, indicted both the Nigerian and the Kenyan governments for the arrest and extraordinary rendition, torture and continued detention of Kanu without due process

The UN demanded that the Nigerian Government should immediately release the secessionist unconditionally and pay him adequate compensations for violating his human rights, Daily Post reports.

Prior to the UN decision, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide had said there was no justification to the continuous detention of Kanu whereas bandits were being celebrated.

In a statement by the National President of OYC, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, he said the UN decision had vindicated its earlier stand on the incarceration of the IPOB leader.

He said it was an indisputable fact that Nnamdi Kanu was the least of the headaches facing Nigeria, stressing that, “terrorists have taken over the country, including the once most secured Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.

“But security agencies, who apparently are compromised by the authorities in power, are only showing their muscles in the South-East.

“Not long ago, we made a fresh demand for Kanu’s release and this was predicated upon the manner the government was pampering pandits, yet holding Kanu, who is a prisoner of conscience.

“Now that the highest world organization, the UN, has taken a stand on this, it is incumbent on President Muhammadu Buhari to toe the path of honour and order Nnamdi Kanu’s release.

“The international community is watching as this would further demonstrate whether this government has regard for international obligations,” the Ohanaeze youth President further stated.

BREAKING: CSU Finally Releases Tinubu's Record, Gender Reads Female

CSU has finally released Tinubu’s records.

News ToGo learned that Chicago State University (CSU) has complied with a court order to release the academic records of President Bola Tinubu, as requested by Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the recent elections.

Following a directive from the US district court for the northern district of Illinois over the weekend, CSU provided the requested academic records.

TheCable reports that the university confirmed that the format of the certificate in question matched Tinubu’s replacement dated June 27, 1997. However, the gender raises doubt. This is because Tinubu filled ”Male” and the university in the new document addressed him as ”Mr”, but some transcripts reportedly show ”F” which suggests ”Female”. This raises doubt in the issue.

However, Atiku and his legal team are following up on the issue after alleging serious discrepancies in Tinubu’s academic records. They also claim that those inconsistencies will help them prove that he was not fit to contest for President of Nigeria.

Recall that Tinubu made serious effort to block the release of his records but the US courts ruled in Atiku’s favour. Atiku and his legal team will now go ahead to prove their case concerning the inconsistencies they discovered.
