Ijaw Youths Say Charges Not Convictions, Urge Respect for Due Process"},"content":{"rendered":"<div id=\"m#msg-f:1854781791876221823\" class=\"mail-message expanded\">\n<div id=\"m#msg-f:1854781791876221823-header\" class=\"mail-message-header spacer\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">By Daniel Adaji<\/div>\n<div id=\"m#msg-f:1854781791876221823-content\" class=\"mail-message-content collapsible zoom-normal mail-show-images \">\n<div class=\"clear\">\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Worldwide has cautioned against what it described as a \u201cmedia trial\u201d of senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Chief Mike Ozekhome, insisting that the criminal charges filed against him do not amount to a conviction and urging strict adherence to due process.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a rejoinder issued on Monday and signed by Bedford Berefa Benjamin, National Spokesperson of the Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide, the youth body said it was compelled to respond to \u201csensational narratives and trial-by-media reportage\u201d surrounding the ongoing legal proceedings involving Ozekhome, whom it described as \u201can internationally respected legal luminary and human rights advocate.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe issue this rejoinder to set the record straight, defend the principle of fair hearing, and warn against deliberate reputational assassination under the guise of judicial processes,\u201d the IYC stated.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Emphasising the constitutional principle of presumption of innocence, the council declared that, \u201cChief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, remains presumed innocent under Nigerian and international law until proven otherwise by a court of competent jurisdiction.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">It warned that attempts to pronounce guilt through media reports were dangerous to the justice system, adding that, \u201cAttempts to pronounce guilt through media headlines, leaked \u2018proofs of evidence,\u2019 and selective interpretation of court documents are unacceptable, unprofessional, and dangerous to the rule of law.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The IYC further stressed that the filing of charges should not be misconstrued as proof of guilt. \u201cThe filing of charges does not amount to a conviction,\u201d the group said, noting that what exists at this stage are allegations which the senior lawyer has responded to and which are now before the courts for determination.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the council, portraying the allegations as established facts is \u201cmisleading and malicious.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Raising concerns over media conduct, the IYC condemned what it called selective leaks and one-sided reporting of the case.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis one-sided media trial raises serious questions about motive and agenda,\u201d it said, adding that all materials cited by the prosecution \u201cremain subject to cross-examination, interpretation, and judicial scrutiny.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The group also warned that it would resist any attempt to tarnish Ozekhome\u2019s reputation, declaring that it \u201c will not stand by while one of Nigeria\u2019s most prominent legal minds is subjected to media lynching , character assassination, and pre-judgement.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Calling for restraint, the IYC urged Nigerians and the international community to allow the judicial process to run its course. \u201cLet the court decide,\u201d it said, stressing that \u201cJustice thrives in silence, balance, and objectivity, not in sensational headlines.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The federal government has filed a three-count criminal charge against Ozekhome at a Federal High Court in Abuja over alleged forgery and use of false documents linked to a disputed property in the United Kingdom.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The charge, marked FCT\/HC\/CR\/010\/2026, was filed on Friday by Osuobeni Akponimisingha, head of the high-profile prosecution department at the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), and Ngozi Onwuka, an assistant chief legal officer, on behalf of the attorney-general of the federation.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ozekhome is accused of knowingly presenting forged documents, including a Nigerian international passport, to support his claim of ownership of a property located at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/search\/79+Randall+Avenue,+London+NW2+7SX?entry=gmail&amp;source=g\">79 Randall Avenue, London NW2 7SX<\/a>, during proceedings before the London First-Tier Tribunal.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the charge sheet, the alleged offences were committed sometime in August 2021 in the Maitama area of Abuja.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Count one alleges that Ozekhome directly received the London property, purportedly given to him by one Mr Shani Tali, an act the prosecution claims constituted a felony under the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Count two accuses him of making a false document, specifically a Nigerian passport bearing the name of Mr Shani Tali, with intent to support his claim of ownership of the property, contrary to provisions of the Penal Code applicable in the Federal Capital Territory.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Count three alleges that Ozekhome dishonestly used the said passport, knowing it to be false, in an attempt to deceive a public authority.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The federal government has listed several witnesses it intends to call during the trial, including investigators and a representative of the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS).<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Documents to be tendered include the judgment of the London First-Tier Tribunal, extra-judicial statements, correspondence from relevant authorities, and passport data relating to Shani Tali. A trial date has yet to be fixed.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The case stems from a dispute over ownership of the London property at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/search\/79+Randall+Avenue?entry=gmail&amp;source=g\">79 Randall Avenue<\/a>. Parties linked to the dispute include Ozekhome and the late Jeremiah Useni, a retired lieutenant-general.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The matter was heard by the UK First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) Land Registration under case number REF\/2023\/0155, with Tali Shani listed as the applicant and Ozekhome as the respondent.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ozekhome had maintained that he received the house as a gift from Mr Tali Shani in 2021, while lawyers representing Ms Tali Shani claimed she was the rightful owner. A witness identified as Mr Tali Shani testified in support of Ozekhome, asserting ownership of the property since 1993 and claiming to have transferred it to the SAN.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, documents tendered by witnesses for Ms Tali Shani were found by the tribunal to be fake. In a twist, the tribunal ultimately dismissed all claims, ruling that neither \u201cMr\u201d nor \u201cMs\u201d Tali Shani existed and holding that the real owner, using a false name, was Useni.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite the ongoing criminal proceedings in Nigeria, the Ijaw Youth Council insists that Ozekhome is entitled to the full protection of the law, declaring: \u201cNo to\u00a0 media trial, yes to due process, yes to presumption of innocence, yes to protection of legitimate reputation.\u201d<\/div>\n<div id=\"m_-3179596267373677813ymail_android_signature\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Daniel Adaji The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Worldwide has cautioned against what it described as a \u201cmedia trial\u201d of senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Chief Mike Ozekhome, insisting that&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":44439,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-125097","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-other-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
