BY SAMSON SHOAGA/MANAGING EDITOR, presently in Abuja
IN AN unprecedented revelation, Honorable Justice Adeniyi Francis Adetokunbo Ademola, judge of Nigeria’s Federal High Court with dual nationalities born in Romford, Essex, United Kingdom (UK) has revealed his near-death encounter in the hands of ‘killer-squad’ members of the nation’s Department of Security Services, who are gun-wielding, conscienceless masked men whose mode of operation is to invade Nigerians’ homes without any warrant of arrest and always ready to ‘snuff-life’ out of their intended targets without any provocation.
In a 35 page evidential documents to back up his claim, harassment and oppression, this 63 year old soft-spoken judge narrates his ordeal which transpired exactly 12:00am midnight hours of Friday, October 7, 2016, dated 11th October 2016 Monday and addressed to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Honorable Justice Mahmud Mohammed, he revealed his chilling encounter:“On 07/10/2016 I was in my house at No. 30 Ogbemudia Crescent, Apo Legislative Quarters, Abuja.
I was awoken by loud sound of banging, breaking and hitting on my front door. This gave me a lot of fear as I thought whoever was banging and hitting at my door were armed robbers or thieves especially because this was at an ungodly hour of the night.”
‘I Will Commence Legal Charges against DSS’
This traumatized Judge, who indicated in the letter that he would commence legal proceedings against the DSS for violating his fundamental rights, said the DSS officials after gaining entrance into his apartment ransacked the house for about six hours, turned every where up and down.
His words: “All this activity lasted for about six hours and when they finally finished with their guns still pointed at me, they handed a document to me purported to be an inventory of the items found upon their search and threatened me to sign it as being true. They threatened that if I did not sign it, they would not leave me alone and whatever they did to me at that point would be recorded and that I will not be alive to tell the story of what transpired between me and them that night.
“For fear and interest of my life, and unknown persons with mask on their faces, I collected the written items and signed the document. I was whisked away from my residence to the office of the DSS without any Warrant of Arrest or reason for my arrest, but was only informed of my alleged offences in the evening of October 9, 2016.”
Reason Given by DSS for Stalking, Humiliating Me
According to this cerebral Judge from Ogun State, the DSS raised three allegations against him, including: “Petition of Hon. Jenkins Duvie dated 4th April, 2016 to the National Judicial Council; granting bail to Col. Sambo Dasuki and the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu; and using my office to secure my wife’s appointment as the Head of the Civil Service Lagos State through Senator Bola Tinubu.”
To the consternation of Nigerians and members of International community, Dasuki and Kanu are being held by the DSS on separate charges of corruption and treason, without any correlation.
How Counsel to DSS and Federal Government backed his position
Ademola stated in the voluminous documents that there were no opposition from counsel to DSS and Nigerian government in his judgement: “All the allegations that border on judicial decisions were supported with Certified True Copy of Proceedings showing that those applications were not opposed by Counsel representing the DSS or Federal Government of Nigeria. On the amount recovered in my residence, they were unable to tell me the exact amount recovered. And I explained that the appointment of my wife as Head of Service was based on merit and seniority.”
Why Attorney General of Federation is Fighting Me
Ademola further explained: “What is more intriguing in this whole episode is that I see it as a vendetta/revenge from the Hon. Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Mallami (SAN). Whilst I was in Kano between 2004-2008 as a Federal High Court Judge, he was involved in a professional misconduct necessitating his arrest and detention. However, with the intervention of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Kano Branch, the allegation of misconduct was later withdrawn by me.
“Consequently, the NJC referred Abubakar Mallami (SAN) to the NBA Disciplinary Committee for disciplinary action. It was as a result of this he was denied the rank of SAN by the Legal Practitioners Privileges Committee for the period of four years until when he produced a fake letter of apology, purportedly addressed to me. It was then he was conferred with the rank. Since the above incident, Abubakar Mallami (SAN) has threatened to revenge and swore to do anything to bring me down.”
