Bashir Hadejia Supporters Demand Arrest of Badaru, Gov Lawal Over Links to Suspected Criminal

The Concerned Muslim Youths in Nigeria (CMYN), supporters of Bashir Hadejia, have called for the arrest of Minister of Defence Abubakar Badaru and Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal over their alleged links to the suspected criminal.

The group condemned the arrest of Hadejia by the Force Intelligence Department-Intelligence Response Team (FID-IRT) over alleged treason and subversion against the state, describing it as a clear case of victimization and selective justice.

In a statement signed by Alhaji Alhassan Yahaya, the youths demanded to know why Bashir Hadejia was being held in custody while those who instigated and funded him, including Badaru and Lawal, were still walking free.

“We are compelled to speak out against the unjust treatment of our brother. Bashir’s arrest is a clear case of victimization and selective justice,” Yahaya said.

“He was arrested for his involvement in a protest and alleged terrorism but we ask: what about those who instigated and funded him?

“We believe that there must be no sacred cow. You can’t treat Bashir Hadeija like leaders of proscribed groups such as Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, Nnamdi Kanu, and leave other accomplices out because of their status. Everyone connected to this case must be treated equally and without bias.

“We demand justice for Bashir Hadejia and call for the arrest of all high-profile individuals connected to this case. Enough of selective justice!”

They also criticised Governor Lawal for denying his involvement with Bashir Hadejia despite glaring evidence, describing it as a clear indication of his cowardice and lack of integrity.

Yahaya added: “Governor Lawal’s denial of Bashir Hadejia is a clear indication of his cowardice and lack of integrity.

“He has always been known to abandon his allies when it suits him. We demand that Governor Lawal comes clean and tells the truth about his involvement with Bashir Hadejia.

“Minister of Defence Abubakar Badaru has also been dragged into this saga. We demand to know why Bashir Hadeija will be held in custody while Badaru and Dauda Lawal, who engaged him for all these, will be free men.

“Why did Badaru visit Bashir two days before the protest to give him $20,000 and other undisclosed sums, yet he continues to sit as a federal minister whilst Bashir is being treated like El-Zakzakky and Nnamdi Kanu?

“We warn the Federal Government to learn to treat everyone equally. No one is above the law. If Bashir Hadejia can be treated like El-Zakzaky and Nnamdi Kanu, then everyone connected to this case must face the same treatment.

“We demand justice for Bashir Hadejia and call for the arrest of all high-profile individuals connected to this case. Enough of selective justice!”

We’re Satisfied With Progress At FIRS — Reps Committee On Finance

Published

The House of Representatives Committee on Finance has commended the level of progress and achievements being made by the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), promising that it will not withhold any support needed by the agency.

The Committee members, who were on an oversight visit, held a meeting with FIRS management at the Revenue House in Abuja, on Tuesday, and also toured the agency’s permanent headquarters in the Central Business District currently under construction.

The lawmakers, according to a statement by Dare Adekanmbi, Special Adviser on Media to the FIRS chairman, were conducted round the 17-floor building by the Special Adviser on Infrastructure, Mr Kunle Ogidi.

Chairman of the Committee, Honourable James Faleke expressed satisfaction at the transformation in FIRS under the chairman, Zacch Adedeji, and the increased tax revenue, pledging continued support of the Committee for the initiatives of the agency.

“For us, we can only commend the staff and Management of FIRS and of course the contractors for a job well done. We have seen the quality work being done. They have designed it very well and where we asked them questions, they answered. We are satisfied. We say kudos to FIRS.

“We first went to the temporary building where the FIRS is using now and of course we met the Directors and everybody. Why we have taken time to come on oversight is to allow him to fully settle and we have seen the evidence that he has fully settled.

“His work is very smooth and we could see on the faces of staff. We decided to come to the proposed permanent site. We have seen the progress so far. Like the architect said, the project began 2011 and it will be completed next year.

“We expect that when that is done and the Nigerian Revenue Service bill is passed, it will be launched in this building. And we expect more revenue to come to Nigeria.

On if the Committee is encouraged to continue to support FIRS, Faleke said: “We have also supported FIRS. Our committee is the main committee. If we withdraw our support, there will be a collapse of the system. It isn’t about being encouraged, it is about us doing our job, to do what is right.”

The Executive Chairman of the FIRS, Zacch Adedeji thanked the Committee for their visit and support, stating that FIRS will continue to collaborate with the National Assembly to move Nigeria forward.
