Bamalli succeeded Dr. Shehu Idris, who died on 20th September 2020 in Military hospital in Kaduna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in a suit filed yesterday before the Kaduna State High Court, Aminu asked the court to declare that, \u201chaving scored the highest number of lawful votes cast by the kingmakers and thus selected by the said kingmakers, he has thus acquired vested right to the stool of the Emir of Zazzau from the date of his selection henceforth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a copy of the suit made available to journalists, the plaintiff joined Governor el-Rufai; Attorney-General of Kaduna State; Kaduna State Council of Chiefs; Zazzau Emirate Council; Wazirin Zazzau, Ibrahim Aminu; Fagachin Zazzau, Umaru Muhammad; Mohammad Abbas, Makama Karamin Zazzau; Dalhatu Kasimu Imam, Limamin Juma\u2019an Zazzau; Mohammad Sani Aliyu, Limamin Konan Zazzau; Amb. Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli as 1st, 2nd ,3rd, 4th,5th, 6th, 7th, 8th,9th, and 10th defendants in the suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The suit seeks; \u201cA declaration that the plaintiff is still the Emir of Zazzau and is entitled to all rights and privillages pertaining thereto. An order setting aside the purported appointment of the 10th defendant (Ambassador Ahmad Nuhu Bamalli) as the Emir of Zazzau;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAn injunction restraining the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th defendants from acting in the installation of the 10th defendant to the throne of the Emir of Zazzau or presenting to the 10th defendant with the staff of office until the final determination of this suit;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAn order of perpetual injunction restraining the defendants either by themselves, agents, privies, servants or through any person or persons howsoever from treating, presenting or dealing with or installing the 10th defendant as the Emir of Zazzau;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAn order of perpetual injunction restraining the 10th defendant from parading, presenting or styling himself as the Emir of Zazzau or from putting on or wearing any paraphernalia or insignia of the Emir of Zazzau.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On September 25, the Zazzau Emirate kingmakers, chaired by the Wazirin Zazzau, Ibrahim Aminu, had forwarded a list of three shortlisted princes to Governor El-Rufai for his consideration and appointment of a new Emir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shortlisted candidates were Bashir Aminu, Iyan Zazzau, who scored 89 marks; Munir Jafaru, Yariman Zazzau who got 87 marks and; Aminu Shehu Idris, Turakin Zazzau who got 53 marks.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Zazzau Prince rejects choice of new emir","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"zazzau-prince-rejects-choice-of-new-emir","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-13 09:32:30","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-13 09:32:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=566","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":597},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};

The National Orientation Agency (NOA) has called on the #EndSARS campaigners to work with the police to evolve a suitable and effective policing template to tackle armed robbery and other violent crimes in the country.
The Inspector General of Police in response to protests to end police brutality last week announced the dissolution of the Federal Special Anti-robbery Squad (F-SARS).
In a statement yesterday, the Director General of the Agency, Dr. Garba Abari also commended the Police authorities for yielding to the call of the mass for reform of the Police.
The statement which was signed by Mr. Paul Odenyi, Assistant Director, Press, reads: \u201cNow that SARS has been dissolved, the next necessary step should be for campaigners to engage constructively with the police to birth a more responsible alternative to SARS, rather than being confrontational. While urging the police to bring to justice all of its officers involved in the reckless and unethical actions that has led to loss of lives and dignity by Nigerians, the campaigners should also not allow themselves to be used by political elements to pursue other interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Orientation Agency (NOA) has called on the #EndSARS campaigners to work with the police to evolve a suitable and effective policing template to tackle armed robbery and other violent crimes in the country.

The statement which was signed by Mr. Paul Odenyi, Assistant Director, Press, reads: \u201cNow that SARS has been dissolved, the next necessary step should be for campaigners to engage constructively with the police to birth a more responsible alternative to SARS, rather than being confrontational.

The National Orientation Agency (NOA) has called on the #EndSARS campaigners to work with the police to evolve a suitable and effective policing template to tackle armed robbery and other violent crimes in the country.

The statement which was signed by Mr. Paul Odenyi, Assistant Director, Press, reads: \u201cNow that SARS has been dissolved, the next necessary step should be for campaigners to engage constructively with the police to birth a more responsible alternative to SARS, rather than being confrontational.

\u201cWe must be careful not to denigrate our Police Force to the extent that it gets disempowered in the face of manifest security challenges, especially given the fact that we are witnessing increased cases of insecurity like armed robbery, kidnapping, insurgency and terrorism which require a specialized Force to confront them.

Gbajabiamila spoke during an audience with a delegation led by popular Nigerian singer, David Adeleke (Davido), who came on a courtesy visit to convey to the Parliament deep grief of the Nigerian people over police brutality.
He said the House identified the need to reform police and has commenced work.
Only last week, the Lower chamber had urged the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Abubakar Adamu, to produce an immediate plan for the identification and compensation for victims of police brutality in the country.
The Speaker said the House has ensured that key reforms are institutionalised within the Nigerian Police Force (NPF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The amended Police Reform Act contains most, if not all, of the grievances and demand Nigerians want to see, including a functioning police complaint unit that should be a liaison between the citizenry and the police, as Nigerians can no longer live in fear of those who are supposed to protect them,\" he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that the House has been at the forefront of addressing the inhuman treatment meted on Nigerians by some of the SARS operatives.
The Speaker therefore noted that all the demands relayed have been captured in a motion sponsored by the House Leader, Rep. Alhassan Ado-Doguwa, many days before the protests even commenced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gbajabiamila said several resolutions were reached from the motion, some of which had been identified and implemented by the police authorities, such as the demand that the IGP take decisive action to stop the brutality and human rights violation by SARS and report the said actions to the House within three weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The House demanded the setting up of an independent body to oversee the investigation and prosecution of officers found culpable of such violent misconduct and ensuring they are punished according to the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also emphasized the position of the House on the need to have an independent system for monitoring police actions and holding police officers to proper account for failures to follow the law and the police code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides, he restated the determination of the House to legislate on the lasting solutions to the problems of policing in Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In support of these efforts, he said, the House will this week meet with the national leadership of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), the Nigerian Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and select civil society organisations to begin joint efforts at developing a legislative proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He assured the delegation of the lawmakers\u2019 total and unwavering allegiance to the sensitivity and needs of the Nigerian people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davido had earlier in his remarks expressed the anger of Nigerians towards what they termed government's insensitivity towards those being governed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement rejecting her nomination, the Convener, Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room, Clement Nwankwo said her nomination contravene the constitution which forbids a partisan politician as a member of the row trial body.
Nwankwo therefore urged the president to withdraw her nomination.
The Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room also charged members of the upper chamber to thoroughly investigate the background of other nominated by the president.
Item F, paragraph 14 of the third schedule of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria (as amended) forbids a partisan politician as a member of INEC - a body charged under the Constitution to unbiasedly conduct of free and fair elections. Her nomination amounts to a major attempt at undermining efforts to build credibility for an improved electoral process in the country.
The statement reads in part: \"Situation Room calls on President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately withdraw her nomination. Should the President fail to withdraw this nomination the Nigerian Senate is hereby called upon to disregard her nomination without any consideration whatsoever. Situation Room is also calling on the Nigerian Senate to investigate all of the other nominations by the President especially as there are concerns that some of these nominations may have been by self-serving interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statement which was signed by Mr. Paul Odenyi, Assistant Director, Press, reads: \u201cNow that SARS has been dissolved, the next necessary step should be for campaigners to engage constructively with the police to birth a more responsible alternative to SARS, rather than being confrontational. While urging the police to bring to justice all of its officers involved in the reckless and unethical actions that has led to loss of lives and dignity by Nigerians, the campaigners should also not allow themselves to be used by political elements to pursue other interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe must be careful not to denigrate our Police Force to the extent that it gets disempowered in the face of manifest security challenges, especially given the fact that we are witnessing increased cases of insecurity like armed robbery, kidnapping, insurgency and terrorism which require a specialized Force to confront them. We need a Police Force that is civil, obedient to the rule of law but can also bite in order to make impact on the war against vices.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"NOA appeals to anti SARS campaigners to work with police on desired reforms","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"noa-appeals-to-anti-sars-campaigners-to-work-with-police-on-desired-reforms","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-13 12:42:23","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-13 12:42:23","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=573","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":597},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};

The organisations under the umbrella of the Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room said it was concerned about the nomination of Ms. Onochie, a well known partisan supporter of President Muhammadu Buhari and his ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement rejecting her nomination, the Convener, Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room, Clement Nwankwo said her nomination contravene the constitution which forbids a partisan politician as a member of the row trial body.
Nwankwo therefore urged the president to withdraw her nomination.
The Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room also charged members of the upper chamber to thoroughly investigate the background of other nominated by the president.
Item F, paragraph 14 of the third schedule of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria (as amended) forbids a partisan politician as a member of INEC - a body charged under the Constitution to unbiasedly conduct of free and fair elections. Her nomination amounts to a major attempt at undermining efforts to build credibility for an improved electoral process in the country.
The statement reads in part: \"Situation Room calls on President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately withdraw her nomination. Should the President fail to withdraw this nomination the Nigerian Senate is hereby called upon to disregard her nomination without any consideration whatsoever. Situation Room is also calling on the Nigerian Senate to investigate all of the other nominations by the President especially as there are concerns that some of these nominations may have been by self-serving interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It is important for Nigeria that the composition of INEC is transparently non-partisan and independent of partisan political manipulation.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"Civil society kicks as Buhari's appoints aide as INEC National Commissioner","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"civil-society-kicks-as-buharis-appoints-aide-as-inec-national-commissioner","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-13 14:50:47","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-13 14:50:47","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=579","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":576,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2020-10-13 13:28:33","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-13 13:28:33","post_content":"\n

The speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has assured Nigerians of key reforms in the country's Police that will address the shortcomings in the force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gbajabiamila spoke during an audience with a delegation led by popular Nigerian singer, David Adeleke (Davido), who came on a courtesy visit to convey to the Parliament deep grief of the Nigerian people over police brutality.
He said the House identified the need to reform police and has commenced work.
Only last week, the Lower chamber had urged the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Abubakar Adamu, to produce an immediate plan for the identification and compensation for victims of police brutality in the country.
The Speaker said the House has ensured that key reforms are institutionalised within the Nigerian Police Force (NPF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The amended Police Reform Act contains most, if not all, of the grievances and demand Nigerians want to see, including a functioning police complaint unit that should be a liaison between the citizenry and the police, as Nigerians can no longer live in fear of those who are supposed to protect them,\" he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that the House has been at the forefront of addressing the inhuman treatment meted on Nigerians by some of the SARS operatives.
The Speaker therefore noted that all the demands relayed have been captured in a motion sponsored by the House Leader, Rep. Alhassan Ado-Doguwa, many days before the protests even commenced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gbajabiamila said several resolutions were reached from the motion, some of which had been identified and implemented by the police authorities, such as the demand that the IGP take decisive action to stop the brutality and human rights violation by SARS and report the said actions to the House within three weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The House demanded the setting up of an independent body to oversee the investigation and prosecution of officers found culpable of such violent misconduct and ensuring they are punished according to the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also emphasized the position of the House on the need to have an independent system for monitoring police actions and holding police officers to proper account for failures to follow the law and the police code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides, he restated the determination of the House to legislate on the lasting solutions to the problems of policing in Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In support of these efforts, he said, the House will this week meet with the national leadership of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), the Nigerian Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and select civil society organisations to begin joint efforts at developing a legislative proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He assured the delegation of the lawmakers\u2019 total and unwavering allegiance to the sensitivity and needs of the Nigerian people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davido had earlier in his remarks expressed the anger of Nigerians towards what they termed government's insensitivity towards those being governed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While acknowledging the fact that there are honest and hardworking personnel within the SARS operatives, he said the bad ones have dented the image of the unit beyond the trust of Nigerians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He recounted his role in the #EndSars protest the day before, stating that the people want trust, accountability and communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On his list of demands, Davido asked for the immediate release of all arrested protesters nationwide during the \"endsarsnow\" protest, justice for all deceased victims of police brutality over the years and appropriate compensation for their families.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Gbajabiamila assures of key reforms in Nigeria Police","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"gbajabiamila-assures-of-key-reforms-in-nigeria-police","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-13 13:28:33","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-13 13:28:33","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=576","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":573,"post_author":"13","post_date":"2020-10-13 12:42:23","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-13 12:42:23","post_content":"\n
