Meet Barrister Ogungbeje-The Lawyer of Kidnap Kingpin, Evans…Sues The Police For Fundamental Human Rights



Kidnapper Evans Lawyer, Barrister Ogungbeje

Evans' Father deposed to the affidavit

The last may not have been heard on the controversial case reputed to be one of the biggest crimes in the history of Nigeria as the notorious kidnap kingpin, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike also known as Evans as employed the services of a lawyer to sue the Nigeria Police for fundamental human rights.

The suspected kidnapper, Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike (Evans), has filed a Fundamental Rights Enforcement suit to compel the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, the Lagos State Police Commissioner, Mr. Fatai Owoseni, and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) to either charge him to court immediately or unconditionally release him from custody.

In a motion ex-parte filed before the Federal High Court, Lagos on Wednesday, June 28th, 2017 by his lawyer, one Olukoya Ogungbeje of Lawflex Chambers, the suspect claimed that he has been detained by the police since June 10, 2017 and subjected to media trial and parade without any court order.

He listed the IGP, Owoseni, the NPF and the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Lagos Command, as respondents in the suit.

The suspected kidnapper said there has been grave constitutional infraction perpetrated by the respondents against him as he ought to have been charged or arraign before a court in accordance with Section 35 and 36 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The applicant also said that he has the rights under Section 46 of the 1999 Constitution to approach the court for redress for the breach of his fundamental rights.

However, in a 27-paragraph affidavit attached to the application and personally deposed to by Evans’ father, Stephen Onwuamadike, the father claims that he and other family members have been denied access to the applicant who is still in the custody of the respondents.

He also claimed that his solicitor has been denied access to the applicant.
He insisted that the parade of the applicant before newsmen has continued to generate reactions without the applicant being afforded fair hearing and trial before a court of law.

The Fundamental Rights Enforcement suit is yet to be assigned to a judge and no date has been fixed for its hearing.

Sosoliso Plane Crash Survivor, Kechi Okwuchi Shines @ America’s Got Talent

K

Kechi Okwuchi, the Nigerian lady who was one of the two survivors of the 2005 Sosoliso Plane crash that claimed the lives of 108 passengers including 60 students of Loyola Jesuit College in Abuja, Nigeria was among some of the talent wonders at the ongoing America’s Got Talent competition in the US.

The 28 year old who graduated with honours from the University of St. Thomas, against all odds, wowed the tumultuous audience leaving the quartet of critical minded Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, and Melanie Janine Brown-the panel of judges dumbfounded by her inspirational performance.

Without mincing words, Kechi who lives in Houston Texas, US narrated her ordeal in the ill-fated plane crash telling the judges that she would want to show her talent, saying she has been singing since she was about eight years old, but only very seriously for about 12 years now.
The judges were almost moved to tears when she says, while she was recuperating in the hospital, bandaged from head to foot, music was the only ‘escape route’ she had.
“That’s why music means so much to me,” the 28-year-old lady says, before she given the floor to render Ed Sheeran’s Thinking Out Loud. Below is the video of her awe-inspiring performance.

Nigerian Lady Walks Tall As Black’s 1st PhD Holder In Biomedical Science




A Nigerian lady, Adeolu Deborah Olubamiji has made history by walking tall in the world of science by breaking all barriers and obstacles to become the first black person to bag a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada.

Born in the ancient city of Brown Roofs, Ibadan, Oyo State, in 1985, the beautiful Adeolu Deborah Olubamiji who’s the last of the 5 children of peasant farmer parents beat others to the enviable record that was announced on June 5th, 2017.

According to sources, the academic ingenuity of the brilliant Deborah begun when after her primary education at Alafia nursery and primary school Mokola Ibadan, she became the Head Girl at the St. Gabriel secondary commercial school where she came out in flying colours by making one of the best results during the West Africa Senior Secondary School exams among the 2001 set.  

And as if that was not enough, the brilliant Debbie soon made another outstanding record when she led the Physics department class with a Second Class Upper division at the Olabisi Onabanjo University, ago Iwoye, this, we gathered opened, yet, a new door, as she proceeded to Finland (University of Tampere) for her Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering.

Coming from a humble background, it was not a walk in the park for young Adeolu, as she had no one, no money and being a black girl from a poor home, so she had to juggle, working as a part time Cleaner during this tough academic years studying for her Master’s degree. Out of determination, she applied to over 100 schools for her PhD and finally got a full 3 years scholarship ( later extended to 4 years) in the University is Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada to pursue a PhD in Biomedical Engineering.

While at the PhD programme, she worked part time as a make-up artist, and seller at Sephora Canada. She braided hair and weaved for students including teaching jobs to make extra money. It was a harrowing experience, but she never gave up, she was already used to waiting for her time; as she muses , on her graduation day " As the 5th child of 5, I always had to wait in line for my turn. I was the last, a girl child and was raised by mum who is a farmer and my dad who had little. I hawked pepper on the streets of Ibadan as early as age 10 to help my mum. Went to a public primary and secondary school in Ibadan, attended OOU and studied physics, so it looked like I won't amount to much".

Today, Dr. Adeolu. D. Olubamiji is the first black person to have received a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada. Currently she works as a Lead Metallurgical/Material Engineer in an Aerospace Manufacturing company in Canada. She is single and in her early 30s, smiling with pride and fulfilment as she says to her future husband, " I walked tall for my future husband and unborn children who patiently waited for me to fulfil my dreams so that he can have a wife he will be proud of and they can have a role model to look up to.

Let's change the role models we are giving to Nigerians. It's about time to show them that being educated is the New way to pepper them.
