An Abuja based lawyer, F. Baba Isa has threatened to file legal action against the Inspector General of Police and the Governor of Cross River State if “75 POLICE MOBILE SQUADRON (PMS); OGOJA Is… SHORT-CHANGED…”
In a Press Release he personally signed dated 14th of March, 2020 and made available to TheNigeriaLawyer (TNL), FBI says “Recently, the Presidency and the Police Authorities approved the siting of the 75 Police Mobile Squadron (PMS), Ogoja. In fact all documents pertaining to this shows clearly that “Ogoja” is in the name of this project.
“In other words, it is not “75 Police Mobile Squadron (PMS), Keffi” OR “75 Police Mobile Squadron (PMS), Uyo” OR “75 Police Mobile Squadron (PMS), Biase”; but clearly “75 Police Mobile Squadron (PMS), Ogoja” that is in the documents. Thus, the intention is fixed and clear: the “75 Police Mobile Squadron (PMS)”, is to be sited in Ogoja and no where else. We have all these documents in our custody.”
He said he “got reports that immediately this approval was given to site this squadron in Ogoja certain political interests, led by and on the behest of Governor Benedict Ayade started a frantic secret campaign to move the siting of this squadron to Obudu.
FBI say he wouldn’t pretend not to “understand the politics behind this move and I also won’t pretend that this won’t be a harsh injustice to the Ogoja people in particular and Nigerians in general.”
He said he is “convinced that the powers that be must have assessed the security situation before deciding to site this squadron in Ogoja for the general improvement of the security architecture of the country; it will therefore be a crying shame and a massive illegality if the police cave in to political shenanigans to move the siting of this squadron to Obudu or anywhere for that matter, just because someone wants it to be so.
He added that “We heard that workers who have already been mobilised to site in Ogoja have been ordered to move to Obudu; it is alleged that this order to relocate the workers to Obudu was given after Governor Ayade visited the Inspector General of Police to persuade him to move the siting of the Squadron to Obudu.”
To him “this is illegal. This cannot stand. This will not stand.”
He said “though my family house stands in Ogoja as a testament of my roots, this is not just about my origins, it is about justice and fairness, it is about truth. I’m not known to be sectional but when injustice becomes sectional, we will take our fight against it to those sections.”
He “urge the Inspector General of Police and the powers that be to order those workers who are allegedly camped, right now, in a hotel in Obudu to return to site in Ogoja; let work continue in Ogoja. Let 75 Police Mobile Squadron (PMS), be built in Ogoja as stated in all the legal documents establishing that project.”
FBI threatens that he “will file a case against the Inspector General of Police, The Nigerian Police and the Governor of Cross River State in a court of competent jurisdiction!
“Let the right thing be done. Let the legal thing be done.
“Keep security far away from politics.
