Wallahi, I worked with some British journalists about 3 months ago. We went to Kaduna State to interview victims of banditry and kidnapping, visiting Kafanchan and other parts of Southern Kaduna.
Among the victims were Fulani families whose cows were stolen, and children who were killed simply because they refused to follow the bandits.
I met a Fulani woman in Dan Honu 2, Kaduna, who had given birth after witnessing her husband being killed by bandits.
And guess what? If we hadn’t gone there, many of these people’s stories would never have been heard.
FULANI ARE ALSO VICTIMS OF BANDITRY IN NIGERIA.
It is heartbreaking that an entire ethnic group is labelled “bandits” because of the actions of criminals among them. Their suffering deserves to be heard too.
@IU_Wakilii What's stopping Police IG, DG DSS and other relevant authorities from launching an investigation?
Stop calling the names of people that have no constitutional authority to do anything.
Today, our proposed amicus curiae filing was formally received by the Clerk of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in Greenspan v. Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys et al. We ask the Court for permission to present an additional perspective on Nigerian President Bola Tinubu’s (@officialABAT) asserted privacy interests and the Nigerian Presidency’s extraordinary decision to issue an official Statehouse Statement publicly discussing the very FBI and DEA records President #Tinubu is asking a U.S. federal court to protect.
Our position is simple: you cannot have it both ways. You cannot invoke privacy before a United States federal court while using the power of the Nigerian Presidency to publicly characterize those same investigative records and tell the world what they supposedly contain. We are asking the Court to consider the Presidency’s own public actions when weighing President #Tinubu’s asserted privacy interests against the public’s legitimate interest in understanding what the @FBI, @DEAHQ, and @TheJusticeDept did in connection with these drug-trafficking investigative records.
We fully expect President Bola #Tinubu and the other parties to challenge this filing for one reason or another. That is entirely expected. Our primary objective is to ensure that the Court is made aware of the Nigerian Presidency’s public statement and our argument that it potentially weakens President Tinubu’s asserted claim of privacy. If the Court permits our amicus brief to be formally docketed and considered, we will welcome that decision. Regardless of the outcome of our motion, we have placed this significant development before the Court so that it can be considered, if the Court deems appropriate, when ruling on the issues before it.

I understand your concern, @Oluwabunmi63697. The sight of children begging on our streets should trouble every Nigerian.
I established the American University of Nigeria as a practical investment in education and the development of the North. If profit had been my primary motivation, I could easily have located the university in Abuja or Lagos, where the commercial advantages would have been greater. I chose Yola because I wanted to invest in my people, create opportunities, and bring world-class education closer to a region that had long needed greater access and development.
And as I have publicly stated before, this university is not my personal property or that of my family. I have already signed a deed of gift transferring it to the community. AUN belongs to the community it was established to serve.
Beyond its classrooms, AUN created the Feed and Read programme, providing vulnerable Almajiri children with daily meals while teaching them literacy and numeracy. Through its Technology-Enhanced Learning for All initiative, AUN also helped more than 20,000 internally displaced children learn to read through educational radio programmes.
Following the Chibok tragedy in 2014, seven years after I left office, AUN awarded scholarships to young women who had escaped Boko Haram, giving them an opportunity to rebuild their lives through education.
My conviction remains simple: every child belongs in a classroom, not on the street with a begging bowl. Whether in government or outside it, I have always sought to turn that conviction into practical action. -AA
@Maleekoyibo Go and research.
There is difference between Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs and Supreme Council of Sharia.
The Sultan is heading the latter.
And if you look closely, it is the former that's defending the senator.
Please do more research and know the difference
