Ritual Murder Allegation: Amu writes Okiro

…Journalist sues Vanguard Newspaper for N40 Billion

…More pictures of boy’s severed head, body surface

The avalanche of law suits already lined against the management and reporters of the Vanguard Newspaper is not stopping human rights activist and lawyer, Chief Giwa Amu. Chief Amu has written the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Mike Okiro insisting that Mrs.Oyindamola Amuka-Pemu did commit murder and must be prosecuted.

This is coming as fresh pictures have now surfaced showing the allegedly murdered boy’s severed head and headless body. The pictures are already being authenticated by forensic and photographic experts contacted by Pointblanknews.com at the John Jay’s College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York, CUNY.

Several other Forensic experts have also expressed interest in assisting the Court in working on the case.

However, Chief Amu said that his recent arraignment for wrongful information to the Nigeria Police was a ploy orchestrated to scare him from providing legal representation to Mr. Steve Ugwu-Chinua who allegedly caught Mrs. Oyindamola Amuka-Pemu and her cohort in the dastardly crime of human sacrifice.

Ahead of the May 27, 2009, resumed hearing of the prosecution of his client, Mr. Ugwu-Chinua, at an Ikeja Magistrate Court, Chief Amu is asking the Inspector-General to halt the charade in which the accused was being made government witness.

In the letter dated April 30, 2009, Chief Amu said that Mrs. Amuka-Pemu did connive with her husband to sacrifice “an eleven year-old child” for rituals in order to secure healing for their bedridden child.

The matter has also been filed with the Police Complaint Commission in Abuja.

There are strong indications that at least two lawmakers may have their political careers on the line on account of their refusal to hold public hearings on the vexed issue of Police conniving with the Amuka’s to have justice miscarried.

Senator Gbenga Ogunniya of Ondo Central Senatorial District suddenly finds himself in the eye of the storm and he is now labeled as loving money than Nigerian children and the laws of the land. He is Chairman of Police affairs Committee of the senate in Nigeria.

Lagos Investigative Reporter Sues Vanguard for 40 billion Naira Demands Apology

Independent investigative Journalist, Mr. Steve Ugwu-Chinua has begun a major legal swing against the publisher of Vanguard Newspaper of Nigeria on account of being defamed and portrayed as a “Fake Journalist”. The Lagos Journalist has sued Pemu-Amuka, the paper’s editors and eight reporters for an unprecedented forty billion Naira.

Mr. Ugwu-Chinua is the courageous Nigerian reporter who allegedly witnessed the ritual killing of a yet to be identified young boy, in Ikorodu, Lagos. He waged a relentless battle to get the Nigerian Police to prosecute the alleged murderer, Mrs. Oyindamola Amuka, wife of Mr. Samuel Pemu-Amuka; the publisher of Vanguard Newspaper, the matter was swept under the rug and at most became a cover-up between the media and the Police, until published by pointblanknews.com.

The painful exposure of the alleged killing of the innocent boy became an immediate reason for Mr. Amuka to deploy the arsenals of his one-time influential newspaper, the Vanguard and its Journalists for massive campaign of calumny and character assassination against Mr. Ugwu- Chinua, his Lawyer, Chief Giwa Amu and pointblanknews.com.

In a suit filled at the Lagos High Court, Mr. Ugwu Chinua is tendering his professional qualifications which include a Diploma Certificate in Journalism and an Advanced Diploma Certificate in Journalism from Times Journalism Institute, TJI, a Letter of accreditation issued by the Federal Ministry of Police Affairs, and a Times Institute of Journalism Alumni letter.

Mr. Ugwu Chinua is praying for “perpetual restraining order” against all parties involved in the smear campaign being run by the Vanguard Newspapers.

Below is the full text of the writ of summons already served on the Vanguard and other Documents to be tendered in Court.
