Kidnapped Human Rights lawyer; Ozekhome narrates ordeal

[@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.

He is lucky to live to tell his story. God wants it so for a purpose. To bring Peace to Nigeria.

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.

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.

Thanks for giving a honest response, I have been reading comments here but almost all of them have been trying to avoid calling Goodluck and Ozekhome out. bcus this happened in 2013, Buhari was no where then, the issue of Fulani herdsmen were not rampant, but Nigeria started having security challenges after Goodluck became President. he was clueless and daft that he couldn't take any decisive measures to deal with this criminals. his clueless leadership and weak approach to tackle boko haram led people to Vote for Buhari. if not for insecurity who will ever vote for buhari. today some ignorant people are celebrating Goodluck, and this ungrateful SAN has join the Looters association to be defending them in Court. who is fooling who now.
