SENATOR’S WIFE ORDERS POLICE CONVOY TO ARREST, TORTURE SKIT MAKER FOR CRITICIZING HUSBAND

Personnel of the Taraba State police command acting on the orders of Hajia Fatima Lau, wife of the Senator representing Taraba North senatorial district, Shuaibu Isa Lau, arrested and detained a skit maker, Nafiu Hassan, for several days, SaharaReporters has gathered.
Lau is a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Deputy Senate Minority Leader
Hassan had done a skit where he decried the deplorable condition of roads in the senatorial district. He said that many of the roads are now killing zones due to their bad state.
However, sources said the Senator’s wife last Wednesday saw Hassan while passing by her street and called the police from GRA Division in Jalingo to arrest and detain him.
She was said to have created a scene publicly while accusing the skit maker of “cyberstalking and criminal character assassination.”
It was learnt that Hassan was tortured and released on Sunday.
The source said, “Nafiu Hassan made a video about a month ago about bad roads and dilapidated health facilities in Taraba North. However, this video led to his arrest last Wednesday and he was detained till Sunday,” a source told SaharaReporters.
“He was arrested by the police on the orders of the Senator’s wife. Nafiu was passing through the Senator’s street while the wife, Hajia Lau, was about to enter her residence in Old Commissioner Quarters in Jalingo.
“So, she saw him and created a scene knowing he was the one that made a video about bad roads and dilapidated healthcare facilities in her husband’s village. She termed that as defamation of character and then ordered policemen attached to her to immediately arrest him.
“These officers in her convoy then started beating him. Then they took him in their Hilux to GRA Division Jalingo and his bail was denied. He was however released on Sunday. He was accused of character defamation and criminal conspiracies, which are all null and void.”
Another source said it was not the first time the Senator’s wife would order security operatives to detain Nigerians.
He said, “This is the fifth time this woman is maltreating people in this state. There was an incident of two boys passing around Mayo-Gwoi. Her convoy was passing by at the time and one of the boys mistakenly touched the car leading her convoy which was moving slowly due to traffic.
“It wasn’t the car she was inside but one of the cars in her convoy; however, out of annoyance, she called the police to arrest the boy and he was detained for three weeks.
“The same woman ordered soldiers to beat about 10 people who went to see her husband at home. She sent them away, claiming there was one person out of them she did not like.
“They were exchanging words with her and then she informed soldiers to assault them. Guess what, they followed all the individuals to their homes and beat them mercilessly. These are the ones I can recall for now but there are more than those two cases. There are many cases linked to this same woman. There are others more deadly than them. But sadly, no one to stand for the victims.”
Efforts made by SaharaReporters to reach Senator Lau failed as he did not answer nor return calls to his mobile phone.
A text message sent to his mobile line had yet to be replied to as at the time of filing this report.
This comes a few days after a viral video showed Alex Ikwechegh, a member of the House of Representatives, assaulting a Bolt driver, Stephen Abuwatseya.
The footage showed the visibly angry lawmaker repeatedly slapping and insulting the driver after Stephen asked him to come outside to collect a package meant for delivery.
The incident, which occurred on October 27 in the Maitama district of Abuja, sparked outrage on social media. Ikwechegh then issued a public apology, acknowledging his actions and expressing regret over his behaviour during the altercation.
In a message posted on Instagram, the lawmaker apologised to the Bolt driver, Nigeria Police Force, and the National Assembly, admitting that his actions did not meet the standards expected of a public official, regardless of the provocation involved.
He was also arraigned at a magistrates’ court in Kuje, Abuja, where he pleaded not guilty to three counts bordering on assault and threat to life.
The defendant was released on N500,000 bail, and the court adjourned the case until November 8, 2024, for further proceedings.

    COURT REFUSES INJUNCTION TO STOP NUJ ELECTION

    COURT REFUSES INJUNCTION TO STOP NUJ ELECTION The National Industrial Court, Abuja Division, has scheduled a ruling on December 13, 2024, regarding a legal challenge to the National Elections of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ). The NUJ plans to hold its 8th triennial delegates conference on November 27, 2024, in Owerri, Imo State. Abdulwaheed Adubi filed a suit in the National Industrial Court seeking to halt the elections, arguing that the tenure of the current NUJ leadership expired on October 6, 2024. However, during the hearing on Adubi’s request for an injunction to prevent the national leadership from proceeding with the elections, Justice Olufunke Anuwe declined to grant an interim injunction against the defendants. Instead, she adjourned the case to December 13 for a ruling. Justice Anuwe stated, “This matter is adjourned to December 13, 2024, for ruling on the application for an injunction,” while rejecting the applicant’s attempts to secure a temporary court order. The defendants’ counsel, Patrick Ediale, argued that the National Executive Committee, which the plaintiff sought to restrain, is not recognized by the NUJ Constitution. Ediale clarified that the constitution establishes the National Executive Council, and other bodies mentioned by Adubi, such as the Central Working Committee and the Credential Committee, are also defined in the constitution but were not included in Adubi’s suit. He emphasized that the court cannot issue an order against parties that are not before it and cannot grant an interim injunction when the court’s jurisdiction over the claims is being contested. In his affidavit, the defense counsel contended that Mr. Adubi, who claims to work for Money Central Newspapers, is not a legitimate member of the NUJ because that publication lacks an International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) and, therefore, does not exist. Ediale stated, “There would be more justice in refusing this application since the claimant did not exhaust any internal mechanisms for resolving conflicts as mandated by Article 7 (vi) (a) & (b) of the union’s constitution. According to NUJ’s constitution, only if the Central Working Committee is dissolved can the state council chairpersons and secretaries take control of the union’s affairs.” On the other hand, Barrister Sarafa Yusuff, representing the claimant, urged the court to grant a temporary order to prevent the NUJ from holding its elections the following week. In response to the court proceedings, NUJ President Chris Isiguzo expressed gratitude to the court for refusing to cave in to the claimant’s pressures for an interim order. He confirmed that the union is clear to proceed with its triennial delegates conference as scheduled.Isiguzo urged delegates to prepare for the upcoming event in Owerri, assuring them that all arrangements are in place to ensure a smooth conference. He emphasized, “Let no one be deceived by the misinformation spreading on social media that the election has been postponed. That is fake news. “We are fully aware of the impact fake news has on our media industry, and our people should ignore it and get ready for our event next week.”
