The killing of 7 Policemen & other civilians in Zamfara is condemnable.The atrocities of this criminals must not go unpunished.I believe we will triumph over terror.But itโs sad that the killing of our security agents only gets a louder outrage when it happens in the south east.
Due to the monetary worth of the deal and its significance to the economy of the state, @fijnigeria dug into the background of Pragmatic Palms Limited only to discover it was registered four days before the announcement of the deal.
We urgently need to help Chioma Okoli and her family secure accommodation in a more secured environment. She is not safe at her current residence.
Her address was published online and there was a threat to her life. We will be going to court to face Erisco and the police.
She is pregnant and has little children to cater for. Theyโve been through a lot for insisting on their pursuing their rights.
Chioma needs help urgently.
Her account details are as follows:

Erisco foods limited must be afraid of something. NAFDAC needs to pay close attention to their products. This harassment over a customer's review is way over the top except if she hit close to something they desperately want to hide.
Dear Barr. Kenneth Okonkwo,
They are also coming for you. No matter what they offer you, please, do not touch it even with a long spoon. Do not behave like Daniel Bwala, Doyin Okupe etc.
I remember when you said, "Peter Obi is not the alternative but the only option for a new Nigeria."
Why? Because a good name will always be better than silver or gold. This is the Obidient creed.
Above all, your wit, eloquence, vivacity, and vawulence are meant for the stars, not for the pigs. I hope you keep them that way.
Thank you.

BREAKING::
IGP OVERRULES COURT ORDER, ORDERS RE-ARREST OF CHIOMA OKOLI OVER ERISCO TOMATO REVIEW
At about 7:00 AM today Tuesday, the 9th day of January 2024, policemen invaded and laid siege on the private residence of Mrs. Chioma Edoka Okoli located at Sangotedo in Lagos State.
Chioma Okoli was previously arrested and detained in September 2023 over her review of a tomato product manufactured by Erisco Foods Limited.
A team of policemen from Abuja who claim to be acting on the orders of the Inspector General of Police to re-arrest my client refused to serve us with a court order authorizing them to do so. The team from Abuja is being supported by policemen from the Ajiwe Police Station in Ajah.
The initial team that arrived at her residence called for a reinforcement after we demanded to see the court order authorizing them to rearrest her. They are currently trying to break into her house where she lives with her baby.
This latest attack on Chioma is in connection with the ongoing case between my client and the police on the instigation of Erisco Foods Limited and its founder, Chief Eric Umeofia.
The police had secretly filed a โchargeโ against Chioma at the Federal High Court in Abuja instead of Lagos where the case arose. The charge is pending before Hon. Justice A. R Mohammed. I later got wind of their plot after a tip-off.
When the case filed by the police in Abuja came up on 7th December 2023, the police counsel informed the court that they were unable to serve my client with the charge (this is not accurate as no attempt was made in this regard).
The police counsel then applied for an adjournment for them to file a motion to enable them serve my client with the charge through substituted means. Justice Mohammed granted the application and adjourned the case to Wednesday, 10th January, 2024 for hearing of the motion.
We are astonished that the police would turn around today to invade the residence of my client and harass her and her baby without recourse to the court where the charge is currently pending.
My client has not been served with any charge, summons or arraignment notice as required by law. The case before the court and is coming up tomorrow, 10th January, 2024 for the hearing of the motion the police said they would file to secure a court order to serve my client with their โchargeโ and accompanying documents.
The team leader told me over the phone that he a DSP and that he has four ASPs with him and other police officers. He also told me that the PSO to the IGP spoke with him directly and that he cannot disobey the order of the IGP despite the court order barring the police from re-arresting my client.
How can the IGP issue a directive to overrule the subsisting order of a court of competent jurisdiction? Is this how we want to develop our country?
Attached is a subsisting order of the Federal High Court in Lagos made on the 8th day of November, 2023 by Hon. Justice Bogoro in the fundamental rights suit we filed restraining the IGP and the Nigeria Police Force from arresting, rearresting or detaining my client; except on the express order of a court of competent jurisdiction if she is served with a summons or arraignment notice and she fails to appear in it.
We emphasize again that no charge, summons or arraignment notice has been served on Chioma.
The police has not appealed against the restraining order and the order has not been vacated.
It is a sad commentary that the Nigeria Police is beginning the year on a note of lawlessness. I condemn this reckless act of impunity. I call on the IGP to abide by the rule of law and direct his officers to allow the court to handle the case in line with due process.
My client is presumed innocent of any charge filed against her by virtue of Section 36 (5) of the 1999 Constitution.
This is an action that can only be tolerated in a banana republic.
