EXPOSING THE PATHETIC LIES OF NANS PRESIDENT YINKA GBADEBO. Conscience is like an open wound only truth can heal it =Utman Dan Fodio. Fellow Nigerians, ever concious students and comrades in the struggle. I greet you all. Yesterday, Mr Yinka Gbadebo a.k.a Ayelefe, the NANS President, posted a bilated quasi responds to my article on Sahara Reporters which has gone viral on net. In an attempt to confuse gullible Nigerian students and the general public, he lied serially and distorted facts just to assert himeself as a responsible fellow. Before proceeding, let me opine that what Yinka posted does not qualify as a reply to my article as he deliberately evaded the salient and incontrovertible facts stated in my article. Accordingly, I will limit my comments here to the laconic averments in his post. LIE NO. 1, The most offensive of his lies is his averment that he secured the release of 40 out of the 44 UNIUYO students arrested and detained on June 12 in collaboration with Ubon Marcus the NANS Vice President Special Duties & the UNIUYO SUG President. He also lied by saying that the remaining 4 students could not establish their studentship. The truth is that Yinka did not contribute in anyway to the release of those students. When those students were arrested, I was contacted initially by Mr. Yinka Sadam (the ex-NANS President & Ayefeles close ally) on the 6th of July, 2013, at about 12:30am. This was after he had read my first article on the matter on Sahara Reporters. He appluaded my efforts and promised that something will be done. Ayefele then contacted me directly. We exchanged calls and sms frevently. The release of the 40 students out of the 44 can be attributed to two initiatives; 1)Parents of the students. 2) Civil Liberties Org(CLO)/ the SUG President of UNIUYO. First, let me say that the 40 students so far released regained freedom through the order(s) of the State High Court. Non, I repeat non of the students was released based on political intervention. Yinka Gbadebo & Ubon Marcus were talking about political solution which they never succeeded I contacted an Abuja based Human Rights Lawyer, Mr (Barr) Abdul Mahmud, the Chairman of the Public Interest Lawyers League (PILL) who is himself a former NANS President. He accepted to represent all the students in court pro bono (free of charge). His only condition was that I should get the NANS President to issue him with a Letter of Authority to represent the students to avoid the embarrassment of being seen as a busy body. I spoke with Yinka Gbadebo, Yinka Sadam & Ubon Marcus severally on this issue requesting them to just issue a Letter of Authority but NOTHING WAS DONE. Majority of those students personal lawyers hired by their families to secure their release. What the liar Gbadebo does not know is that I established contacts with atleast 80% of the families of those students. The first student that was release is Ede Joshua, my colleague in the Law Faculty. He was represented by a lawyer from the Christian Lawyers Fellowship of Nigeria. NSRM followed him to court. Again, students whose families had no lawyers were represented pro bono (free) by lawyers hired by CLO which I happen to be the Assistant State Secretary in Akwa Ibom. The SUG President merely provided some logistics. I facilitated their release by assisting some of the CLO lawyers with information & contacts with families of those students. NSRM visited them in Prison on more than one occassion. Some even thought I was the SUG President which I corrected them. Those students were not released at once but occassionally. All of them spent atleast 1 month in custody. LIE NO. 2 Ayefele lied by posting that he took action on the killing of 4 students in Nasarawa. Yet, the evidence he provided shows otherwise. The Link attached to his post shows that the protest to the Army Headquaters was led by Late Comr Donald, NANS Senate President. LIE NO. 3. He claimed that he went to Damaturu when Boko Haram killed students. Please check the Link he attached. His Media Consultant, Maxwell, only issued a Press Statement. LIE NO. 4 Instead of responding to my averment that he misappropriated donation by FERMA Chairman for Donalds burial, he went boasting about completing a house in his honour. I challenge Yinka to deny that millions of naira was not donated and embezzled by him. If he does that then I will come out with more facts since the big masquarade has chosen to dance naked. Note that in my article, I admitted that Yinkas only action(s) are normally; compromised protests and empty press statements. I never said he should be held responsible for these killlings, I said he has not done anything effective to stop it or bring culprits to justice. Refering me to a psychiatric hospital is childish. Now, I leave the judgment to men of conscience to decide between Inibehe Effiong, the National President of NSRM & Yinka Gbadebo, the NANS President who is a liar.
