Kidnapped Human Rights lawyer; Ozekhome narrates ordeal

For more information log on to www.channelstv.com.

[@24f78]

I'm watching this for the first time in 2024 (11 years after), and in the last two months, there have been more random kidnappings than in the previous 10 months combined. An entire family was even kidnapped from their home in Abuja (the country's capital) last month. From their home! Not on the highway. But, their home! Saddest of all, 11 years and two presidents later, NONE of the recommendations that were made here by the lawyer have been honoured. No amnesty, no state policing, no state of emergency on insecurity, nothing! Arise, o compatriots!

[@tonyekwueme3993]

Me too I'm just hearing it now in 2024 i was even surprised listening to Ozekhome narrating this ordeal,11yrs and yet nothing has been done to checkmate this horrible situation still ravaging the country honestly Nigeria is a joke.

[@christopherchikwe3144]

Same with me. The kidnapping is even worse now

[@neliaalex392]

I just saw this now. 8 years ago yet nothing at all was done. I wish they go for the goveenors etc and leave poor ones like them.

[@julietonuigbo4627]

You said it clearly but no one listened. I am watching this in October 2022 and I can tell you, nothing was done and Nigeria is far worse than you can comprehend.

Nigeria is in it's most deteriorating state than it had ever been since it's existence. A lot of people out there don't & can't understand the magnitude of all you said in this interview based on what you experienced, but only those & the families of those that have gone through this same ordeal can relate 100%. It's not just about saying prayers right now as we always do as Africans, this is about actually changing the narrative as a nation. We need to as a people stand up against this government's oppression & take power back to the people & make Nigeria great once again. May we not fail our generation yet unborn o because as it is, we are already heading towards that path.

[@gracegbomedo4939]

Just came across this guy’s interview, and this was 7 years ago! And nothing has been done.

[@ichiejeromenwonumah918]

He is lucky to live to tell his story. God wants it so for a purpose. To bring Peace to Nigeria. The Federal Government of Nigeria should bring the Country together with Selfless courage and determination. Enough is enough. It's not getting better. If nothing is done, it might get worse and out of control. Ichie Ezelabo 🙏

OBI might not necessarily arrest them but his good work will definitely redirect and redefine their mission . It is all about the welfare of the people. Justice, equity and fairness, simple.

The honourable SAN had Said it ALL. For Nigeria to Curb it's Crime, each State in Nigeria needs STATE POLICE, CITY POLICE, LOCAL GOVERNMENT POLICE, COLLEGES POLICE, AS WELL AS SECONDARY SCHOOL POLICE Just as they have it here in the United States. Besides, Nigeria is Of age to have it's Own NATIONAL EMERGENCY NUMBER for Police, Ambulance, Or fire.🔥 Also, Nigerians SHOULD VOTE in COMPETENCE Candidates into Power that Could Create Jobs to Secondary School graduates, University graduates, Vocational School graduates, and every Nigeria Citizen Jobs. This Will help ERADICATE Crimes in Nigeria. A New Nigeria is Possible With Peter Obi and Yusuf Ahmed Of Labor Party. VOTE for COMPETENCE.
