![THE END OF RESIDENT EVIL? [RE9 Ep 3/3]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/3Xt3gTCHJXk/mqdefault.jpg)
Distractions, charging El-Rufai no one is talking about the importation of the said banned substance.
Charging Rufa to courti is the best way to talk about the importation of the poisonous thallium sullphate. He who asserts must prove, Let El-Rufai present his evidence to the court, and let Ribadu defend himself, so as to avoid unnecessary social media dramatization of a potentiallly serious allegation.
Importation of the said banned substance - go and read Obasanjo's under my watch to know who El Rufai is.
The DSS have asked him to provide his evidence. If he presents it, and he feels the DSS cover it up. He should bring them to the public court. He is good at doing that, isn't he? What we don't want however, is false allegations, and a feeling of grandiosity.
It will come up in trial, I guess he got that information from the wire tapping too abi?
To which Court, please?
This is the kind of lawyer we always want to be seeing in the public, speak the truth....... you're a correct lawyer honestly
He is speaking in the ignorance
Grab your popcorn. I am here with mine…hot popcorn.
Lawyer , nice to see you after a longtime.Nigeria leaders are blind
This old guy,Enibehe Effiong really really studied Law...I doff my cap for him...Naturally...I mean innately intelligent...Smart guy...
Particulars of the offence must include which phone was tapped, how, when, and by who. Mere verbal averments without these particulars make this case fall flat
If the NSA phone can be tapped. Then we are doomed as Nigerians. That’s why kidnappers and terrorist chill in nigeria
Why not play snippets of the video from Arise Tv for more clarity. Well, Channels tv never plays other media outfits snippets. They think they're the standard when it comes to journalism in Nigeria. What they fail to understand is that, it is standard practice globally to play snippets from other media outlets as long as credit is given to the original owners of the video.
You are very correct
I need to go back to school and study law Mhen. Dis guy always inspire me
God bless you Barr Effiong, you are very brilliant and logical
Very intelligent and objective….Inibehe is so good.
They should be in jail. They are all heartless criminals. Looting is only made public when they fight. Go figure.
Nigerian TV stations are funny, cos why don't you just play a snippets of the interview from Arise? Our TV stations can't even cooperate on sharing snippets of each others programs like it is done globally?
True, but Arise TV do play snippets from Channels TV and give credits to them. Channels are indirectly behaving like APC affiliates.
Especially Channels, they believe they’re the yardstick with which media and news go out, so they can’t be playing a junior station’s news as a Reference.
Arise plays their own interviews in any case of reference but channels never plays other stations but they can discuss their topics when it goes viral what a hypocritical bunch of media people.
Best lawyer so far....very intelligent
I'm the president, I'll make him chief judge or AGF
I agreed with you
The lawyer is deviating from the main facts, what do you say about the confession on a national tv
@ibrahimitodo2048You lack comprehension. Go through what the lawyer said again.
INEC under Tinubu can never be honest. Impossible 🎉
What has Inec have to do with this? Mtchew
On the surface you will think El-Rufai has committed a treasonable felony until you listen to Barrister Iniebhe. Don't be surprised that this is a calculated political move by Nasir E-Rufai to nail Ribadu for incompetence.
Also, the President should be quick to hear and slow to speak. Passing a vote of confidence on Ribadu just a day after this serious allegation or claim is most disturbing. The President must differentiate between loyalty, responsibility and roles
After listening to MNK lawyer, we though there was no case until he was sent to jail. Charge and bail lawyers everywhere
@promiseochuko4709You actually lack reasoning faculty.
@promiseochuko4709Seriously? I think you are being unfair to MNK
Very intelligent lawyer
They must be ready to prove which instruments were used, and whose name is cohort?
This is what it means to be a legal practitioner. Thank you learned senior
I pray for you to be Nigeria Attorney general or Nigeria chief judge someday.
He is playing to the gallery. He is mostly saying rubbish that sells to legal novices...
You people are just foolish!
@Troubleinmydna You can disagree without being disagreeable sir. You and I are on the same side, but you should express your opinion in a better way, without insulting those on the other side.
@idowumohammed4689
Yorober is allergic to truth.
@TroubleinmydnaI am wishing him good. It's not foolishness. You are free to explain your own unfoolish part.
I must go back to school am still far from reality
I love as he started like Baba Falana 😂❤
i thought o lol i was like wait
Barr Effiong keep making us proud
I like this the way this lawyer thinks.
Hats up for this lawyer. Thank God we still have truthful Nigerians.
If you charge someone for tapping your phone, then you've admitted your phone was tapped. And that means the conversation El Rufai claim he heard when he tapped your phone, holds water. It's that simple. El Rufai!!! You smart cat!!!! 😂
Make Agbado people cry 😭 😂 😂 😂 😂
You make sense shá 🤔
Hmm..I feel your point 😂
What nonsense comment! He made a reckless statement on a national TV and in the process, confessed to a crime. He will be tied up in court for a long time with his unnecessary and reckless statement. Infact, Arise TV/Charles will be invited as a witness in this case.
This lawyer in vomiting rubbish. There is no way he can claim, it is politics or persecution. He made the confession himself.
@omotundesanni56Is lying on a tv station now a crime? The charge is not what El' rufai said but what he did. If he pleads "not guilty", Prosecution will have to prove that he committed the offense beyond reasonable doubt.
@jekwu3971Leave am. I think say na only yoroba dey claim not to be sentimental. How can he now say talking in National TV is confession? When Tinubu said grab it, run with it.... Did it mean he was saying he will rig election?
Who noticed the cut and talk faster please
I am disappointed teally with this charge and bail lawyer called Inimehe
Inibehe Effiong, a charge & bail lawyer??? Pls, can u educate us since u seems to know better?
It’s God Himself fighting elrufai: he has crossed his path and stepped on God’s toes
Since when has corrupt Nigerian politicians become god?
Effiong 🔥 love man
Nuhu Ribadu will not admit that he ordered the arrest of EL Rufai secretly. Let the federal government channel their strength to kwara crisis.
When the diffence head quarters were attached, we all kept quiet
The Nigerian Government will soon be declared a terrorist organization. Watch and see
The NSA should admit his phone line has been hacked before charging the EL. Someone said he stole my phone , but my phone is with me. So on which grounds should I prosecute the man that said he stole my phone?.
U dey mind dem?
Those charges are admittance to tapping of NSA phone line. As you said, the onus is on them to prove that El-rufai committed tthe crime. The charge should have been that he was peddling falsehood to undermine national security, and they can prove it by showing the NSA line is secure. Interesting times ahead
Simple!!!! But yoroba commenters here no wan reason. I thought they always claim to be the logical realists while others are sentimental wailers. If you charge someone for tapping your phone, then you've admitted your phone was tapped. And if you've admitted it, that means you've confirmed the allegations he made about the conversation you had when he tapped your phone
Yes I agree...this Lawyer is one of the best if not the very best now in this geographic location where we are still searching for it's true name. PO is coming
prior to now, did government come out to say that the phone of national security adviser was tapped?
Interesting days ahead 😅
This guy is one of Nigeria brilliant lawyer.
Brilliant how? See how you are thinking.
@mikeabiodun1428I think he is more brilliant than all your family members put together.
@chineduibekwe2031 good response
@chineduibekwe2031how. In what sense
This is the most intelligent lawyer I have listened to so far on this issue
The interesting thing is that the same govt asserted that the statements of INEC officials made on TV interview are of no value will now have to assert that El-Rufai's interview statmement is enough admission to establish his guilt.
Nigeria is just a pitiable mess! Well done guys!
Why are you surprised of wire-taping in the Nigéria top corridors of power?
You're over-rating our country ?
In the first place, are they using secured phones in your villa?
As we speak, virtually all government MDAs & bureaucracy from top to bottom are still using yahoo mail & gmail for official communications. You're overating them if you think they are not susceptible to intrusions.
FYI, Some of your top officials can be so clueless & reckless to use girlfriends' phones for official communication.
In fact, they don't care about secure communications because of the flagrant impunity they enjoy....
If it’s true then no one is safe! We are basically all compromised... They need to investigate this thoroughly!
Now that APC has gotten El-Rufai, their next victim will be Aregbesola, then David Mark before hunting for Atiku and Obi to render ADC powerless like PDP.
They can't do anything
So them lodge our former governor 😂
Your guest knows exactly what he is talking about. That governance in Nigeria and by implications security is grossly inept, drowned in self glorification such that government officials are not aware of the implications of their actions.
Exactly, if NSA concedes that his phone was tabbed it brings into question the integrity of the Nigerian intelligence community.
Which intelligence in the first place? These guys that rescue kidnap victims without paying ransom and without fighting the terrorists.
When the victims are brought back, the come in uniforms (T-Shirts).
This a country of unknown government working with unknown gunmen.
Nigeria needs a reset. Where is Idiagbon?
Are you not tired of old fools
He died some years ago.
He said "someone tapped his phone and we listened to it" He later said "someone tapped his phone and told us"
Are they going to use a driver, cleaner, a gardener, a cook or any other domestic staff to take their place?
He's the national security advisor for APC
Wire taping the NSA is a treasonable felony againt the Nigeria state. They're probably the ones feeding boko haram about security outfits of the country. Yhis shouldn't be taken with kid hands...
Show your evidence
Exactly 💯
The same Nuhu Ribadu that admitted arming Fulani Bandits?
The NSA admitting that his phone was wiretaped is the height of his incompetence; nowonder we are where we are now with the insecurity. He should simply resign his office and concentrate on politics. Let someone fit for the job take over and make us all safer.
It took Mallam's revelation for him to realise that his phone was tapped; what a shame. It also means that the accusation that El-Rufai made about the NSA importing poison has some credibility.
Those two know each other very well, and they know the damage they have caused us as a nation. Let the fight between the former friends continue. Perhaps more revelations may emerge that may help our security situation in this country.
The news media is more concerned about the process Malam Rufai used in obtaining the information but don't talk about the information he obtained. The public should be very concerned about what the government intends to use the dangerous poison it imported recently.
There where claims that the nsa vehicle was stolen in one of the northern states very recently
Lawyer's are more dangerous than our politicians, this man should pls shhhhh
Not all lawyers. You see, people like Eneibe are just noise-markers. When you hear them making noise, you'll think they have sound knowledge of law. Don't be deceived. Most of them don't. So, NSA should resign because his phone was wiretapped? Isn't that laughable?
Can you imagine?spreading misinformation with pride and the journalists didn’t research the matter properly before bringing him on
Oga go practice law now then u will understand that the lupholes of all what is happening in Nigeria is in the constitution...
He is guilty of competitive espionage ,Retaliatory illegality
Where is Nigerians journalists ,go out of your studio and ask questions Nigerians want know what's going on.
Nigerians are full of hypocrites. What about the conversation of Peter Obi and David Oyedepo that was tapped? Did d govt do anything about it?
It's all politics
What do you expect the government to do? Did Bishop Oyedepo complain to you or to the police?
Is Peter Obi and David Oyedepo a government official or are they working in NSA office? Why are some you this gullible and daft, and you people claimed to be educated
Did PO not deny it?
He is concerned about Emi lokan than to talk sense
Truth bitter, Yoruba
God bless Time
That’s the exact conversation El Rufai what media to be discussing that’s why he brought the wire tapping into play
This not about proof, if the federal government agrees that indeed the phone of NSA was wired tapped then it's a failure on their part. A whole NSA phone wired tapped ? Let's be serious
Bless Lawyer Inibehe Effiong
Deji should come and listen and learn. Not practising APC hidden lawyer
Deji,is still learning never you compel this guy with that social media deji
Nigeria has reached it's dead end
This is worst analysis have I had in century, your lawyer hatered for this government has made him so illiterate on this matter. Even phone of security operative were hacked in the developed country, how can they tell you when you yourself said its a matter of national security.
Kai!!! Bro u no just get reasoning. Then they shouldn't charge someone for it. Because the charge itself is confirming it was tapped
Good Lawyer keep it up. Truth is always bitter
Are you saying they shouldn’t have to arrest him or what?
Everyone rejected this behaviour yet some lawyer always mislead people.
You can't arrest him until you show evidence that the phone calls were intercepted and trace who did it
Law is not emotional
Does the ministry of communications have something to do in the ability of people to wiretap?
Is importation of poisonous weapon is for national security?
What about the crime APC government committed by importing dangerous substance into the country??
12:19 if you bring another lawyer now he will begin to say a total different thing altogether
Exactly, they all take different stands and there’s nothing wrong with cohorts.
@Headhoncho3601please don't get it twisted, how did you know that there's nothing wrong with the word "cohorts" used on that charge?
Are you a legal practitioner?
Omo this lawyer is SOUND OOOO
I am not a lawyer. But it would be laughable to ask an accused to assist with an evidence against himself.
Nigerian constitution works only spiritually in this physically world it is a complete nonsense.
More fact should be gathered before prosecution because el rufai is like to more allies nationally and internationally to create continuous unrest in the country.
Replay the tape recording
I thank this young lawyer's abilities.i Adolph my Cap for you!
You are right Mr man
The crazy lawyer I admire and respect so much.
I honestly know where the learned man is coming from and what he is saying is right. But I don't totally agree with him. If there's a rogue employee in the office of the NSA or any other agency or agencies charged with cyber protection, there is nothing the office of the NSA can do. A rogue worker can do more harm from inside and there's nothing the NSA boss can do. We have seen a situation in the USA where it happened and the US was helpless. When it comes to cyber protection, it is my view that other agencies might have been involved. And sometimes lack of cooperations within the agencies often leads to this. If it was an inside job, it means that Nigeria as a nation is not safe when you think of the armed forces and how many rogue elements are within.
You are very right.All his doing is litigating the case on TV and shouting. When the case starts all the details will come out in court. And he’s also bias and conflating issues. US security adviser appears with Trump almost everywhere he goes except when he’s out of the country. He needs to tone his voice and stop his misinformation on national TV
Thank you, you made a lot of sense.
Are they going to use a driver, cleaner, a gardener, a cook or any other domestic staff to take their place?
Good question
Very embarrassing to admit that the NSA's phone was tapped. SMH!!!
Who are the lawyers in these our security agencies? They keep embarrassing the profession. Tufiaaaa...
I tired oo. You can see the way some people are hailing him on the comment
I am telling you guy...... so shame
Tapping the NSA telephone conversation is tantamount to security sabotage.
O how I admire this Inibehe Effiong of a Man. Very wise, bold and articulative
this is my next company lawyer...he understands the law and interpretes it the best possible way anyone can understand
Fear God and fear Lawyers
Mr Effong l love to listen to you, FG have to provide proof that he tapped their phone, Rufai may be talking of accused to know who want to arrest him, with the proof they can then arrest or take him to court
I'm very happy to see Barrister Effiong. And anytime I heard him say anything I just feel happy and hopeful ☺️ ❤🇩🇪🇳🇬
Good one
Lol all this one Na court matter, whether the confession was direct or not. You think Admitting that his phone was wire tapped would be hard for them to do?
Logical and brave lawyer, more power to your elbow
He just keep on shouting and shouting😂😂😂
If the Phone of an NSA could be wiretaped, it also means the president is not safe.
Do you know even if your phone is been tapped now. It has nothing to say about competency. Abeg park one side mr lawyer.
Just wasted our data
Do you understand that we are talking about the NSA"s phone? His phone ought to be impenetrable. No wonder we are going nowhere with security challenges in this country. Perhaps Bokoharam and bandits are listening in on his conversations with security chiefs and getting ahead of them. It should worry every Nigerian.
Mallam ElRufai needs to face the Law. Nigeria NSA security is in shambles
You are a lawyer indeed. I doss my hat
Mr. Enibong God bless you. I've been of the thought that Ribadu should be investigated. What's he really doing about insecurity!
He was implicated by the suspects arrested in Kwara!!!!
So if this is true, you mean it’s the fault of the nsa boss that his phone was tapped? Ibo la tun jasi yi? Even in western world, hackers get access to high classified government documents… lawyers are very interesting being😂😂😂😂
The statement has bigger implications. It just doesnt look good for the institution. This is similar to robbing a police station. If NSA's phone can be tapped, what about the president's phone?
It would have been good to have an alternate legal opinion on here. Going by this gentleman's logic, if anyone makes a wild wire tapping allegation, the NSA should either resign or provide evidence to counter it. No serious government authority would react to the whims of a random claim. Such outrageous claims (true or otherwise) should not go unchallenged.
El rufai is not anyone and nobody has made such statements
