Former President Olusegun Obasanjo Answers To Fela Kuti's Petition - Oputa Panel
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- Former President Olusegun graced the Human Rights Violation Investigation Commission (HRVIC) in relation to the petition of Late Fela Kuti.
He was questioned by Femi Falana (SAN), He(President Olusegun) said it were all fabrications that yakubu Danjuma asked that they get Fela Kuti Dead Or Alive and that He knew nothing about such ordeal.
General Olusegun Obasanjo In 1976 was made head of state in a meeting of the Supreme Military Council. Keeping the chain of command established by Murtala Muhammed in place.
During the dictatorship of Sani Abacha (1993--1998), Obasanjo spoke out against the human rights abuses of the regime, and was imprisoned for his participation in an aborted coup. He was released only after Abacha's sudden death on 8 June 1998.
Obasanjo took office as the first elected and civilian head of state in Nigeria after 16 years of military rule, is now commemorated as Democracy Day, a public holiday in Nigeria.

Femi Falana (SAN) and his signature smile till today 😂 badass...respect
I love that man so much.... Honestly.
Wish to see him one day
Please don’t open case
Oputa Panel established by Obasanjo himself was a show of mockery to Nigerians and to the victims in case. The resources used in setting up this panel was a waste. All the criminal cases and their perpetrators, examined by this panel could not reach any conclusive end. Nigeria is a joke. Thanks to Barrister Falana for exposing the uselessness of this mockery panel and Obasanjo's injustice to the fela's family.
Legendary Mr Femi Falana SAN....who is watching in 2020
I am watching and i se mike ozekhome (The anti-efcc Lawyer) at 1:16:05.
I'm watching it
I'm watching it
Watching👍
Am among
Falana is good... Legendary!!!
How many leaders today can swallow their pride and do what Obasanjo did? Almost impossible... 2022
Am I the only one watching this case in 2023 few days after the General Election. I see reason(s) why my love for Femi Falana is topnotch. He always makes me watch channel news
The man questioning Obasanjo is highly learned and brained enough only that there is no truth in court of law
Hear that word " unknown soldier "
Bunch of bloody bastards
Well done lawyer femi falana 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Now I understand why Justice Oputa went for thanksgiving after the end of this assignment. In the word of Obasanjo, an onerous task indeed!
Today : Wednesday 31st July. 2024 :
What a very brilliant display by all d participants ❤🥰😍😘🎉🏆
This panel is All jokes this man has no respect for the law very arrogant man ,it's a shame what is wrong with our leaders
The youth should be awoken, this right here Tastes way better than BBN mixed with TRACE NAIJA
i watched alot
Well, Falana looked kinda like Eddie Murphy here...:)
I salute Femi Falana for this because its take extra courage for a young lawyer to question a sitting president in this manner.. cudos
Did you say young lawyer or are you meant to say petite and small-bodied lawyer?
But his arguments were not very strong--truth be told!
Obj. Refuse to. Give. Electric to. Ñigeria he. Did. Not do anything. In. Ñigeria through out. Is. Leader ship he has. Failed the. Oduduwa. People and. People. Close to. Oduduwa. Republic number one. Edo. State obj. Has. Fail. Us. All. Andhe. Always. Refuse to be berm
@@osarobomike you're very wrong, go do your finding well.
He wasn't a young lawyer then
I don't know how I got here but this is very informative..
I just came across this commission and lavished at the cross examination and tenacity by the lawyer representing the Kuti family. Fela's death will continue to haunt and further interrogate the democratic values of Nigeria. Observing from South Africa 🇿🇦
How are the democratic values of Nigeria and Fela's death related?
OBJ let the cat out of the bag with “get that bloody man”...he must have heard those words himself.
I am watching in 2024 and it still a very good watch. Thanks to all and RUclips most especially for providing the platform
fela would have lost his mind seeing obasonjo in power again
OBJ was in total control of this proceedings. Falana was just dancing around. There was nothing new unearthed.
This is the very first time in Nigeria's history when a sitting president respected a summons to appear before a tribunal, even though he was not required by law to do so. Obasanjo attended this to show a good example to other Nigerians. So when you give Falana accolades, also reserve some for Baba.
who's here in 2019?
yeah....we here
ME!
2020
We here in 2020. And our country is finished. Sad.
To early, representing 2020
Well presented Falana Kudos!
All of them are beasts of no nation

Minus late great Dr Beko Ransome- Kuti and his lawyers.
Many leaders as you see dem, nah different disguise dem dey oh....
Nonsense people with nonsense political leaders along side of Obasanjo and others, all of them we dies like Giuseppe, Fela kuti lived forevermore
@@kolawolebabatunde8712 wetin be Giuseppe bayi
I salute the courage, boldness and tenacity of Mr. Femi Falana
Who's here in 2024
Left to Buhari he will not come. He does not even know the rule of law either.
A monumental task for Justice Oputa. Gen Obasanjo was very articulate more than Falana. Cannt believe the cross examination, very poor.
I don't think so
Though I watched this panel then, now it refreshes my memory about some unlawful actions seen as profession.... Long life to all that have chanced to view this(Kabir Abubakar) , longlife falana and longlife Nigeria.…....
ADEYEMI PATMORE what do you think sir?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Nothing has really changed o
All thanks to God, Femi Falana and Fela for his courage
Fela was fearless and non tribalistic he attacked Obansanjo for being corrupt but Obasanjo being a bully would not stand that he harassed attacked him but fela dead or alive is always my hero
That is why will need to use word of mouth to kill all our Corrupt Leader
nothing has changed, the same vagabonds are still in power
Mere wasting of time. The whole set up make me wanna puke. Rubbish. If they really mean business, they should allow the world court where no one would be intimidated to hear this case. The Military under Obasanjo's command, actually committed this crime. Period.
May Baba Kuti's soul rest in peace.

What has a citizen done to deserve such invasion by military personnel? Obasanjo even gave a stupid answer to act of Unknown soldier. History would tell ,cause Fela's chapter is vital in Nigeria History.The government DABARU everything cause the soldiers are acting under Command.Obasanjo is not even taking responsibility for shit that happen during his term.
This must have been so retraumatizing to Beko Kuti
No body is above the law, Olusegun Obasanjo is showing here that he is above the law by his attitude. A big thanks to that lawyer called Femi Falana
+Felix Omorodion bcuz he was talkin with confidence means hes above d law? smh
Michael Babalola .byn
Felix Omorodion OBJ is a douchebag!
What if he refused to show up ?, like other former president that refused to showed up @ the panel,now you are branding him a man above the law ,you cowards.
Felix Omorodion wrong mate. OBJ’s submissions were purely logical and not arrogant as you assume. His counsel and the learned judge, Justice Oputa both averred that Falana’s Question was insulting and was contrary to the evidence act.
This's what should have be happening in Nigeria. This video is very interesting it motivate me to study law.
Oga first learn simple English.
Juan Sanchez What you dont like your real name?
Kelvin Elabor Assumptions Assumptions...what makes you assume i dont?
Juan Sanchez Like you said, its just an assumption and i assumed that because not many pidgin speakers have a spanish name. And because I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO ANNOY YOU, ohh that too.
Kelvin Elabor another assumption you are attempting to annoy me. Keep trying you may still achieve your goal.
Falana was clumsy in his interview of OBJ.. but still managed to hold his own.
If anyone could be skilled enough to be up to this task it's Femi Falana
Watching in May 2020 respect to Femi Falana ✊🏿
2022
The picture and sound quality then is far better than what NTA is broadcasting in 2019
So on point
True
Anyone still watching NTA?
True
Femi Falana did not inspire me at all with this one, Sorry
Even Justice Oputa softened up for ObJ. Obj shouldn't have taken the stand if he was going to grandstand and make a mockery of the panel his government instituted in the spirit of 'national reconciliation'.
After all dis, every tin still remain the same. Wat a wasted effort
Really sad how this went......no Justice in Nigeria, Animal dey wear Agbada
I just hope this doesn't repeat itself with the Lekki tollgate massacre.
@@obafemiadeyemi It has the tell tale signs of a potential conclusion.
Femi Falana has always played to the gallery to get the public’s adulation. OBJ has no business being on the stand for this case. The soldier or then ADC (now Emir) is alive. Why not call him to give evidence of what he allegedly said.
It’s sad to see Bola Ige working hard for OBJ only to end up being assassinated with or without this involvement of the same government.
general obasanjo in his full regalia, ego as massive as him, cares about nothing, arrogance of the highest order.
That's a military man
As a present serving president in Nigeria, it is very impressive that he made himself personally available to the calls of the panel .
Even an ex head of state Ibrahim Babangida rejected their proposal & questioned their power to summon him...
@@modupeolarinde6869 so he worn a medal by dragging himself or being dragged down here, right?
Nigeria is a Joke, A country without Justice, where the Lords are untouchable, The manner and body Language of Obasanjo in Court shows his arrogance, and the same attitude is the manner of every so called President, this is why People like Babangida, Abacha, Jonathan, and all the governors who during their time stole and abused Power are not made to account for their time and abuse of Power, A country where the Principal is deemed untouchable and their arrogance is carried on after their term of service, Such country will go down, will never develop, will never progress. Nigeria is a not a country Yet. There is no regard for Law. these whole charade is a Joke, they are just comedian and they only came to mock their victims. Until we understand what the Law is and represent, Nigeria is a Joke i warrant you. I am also Ashamed of the Yoruba people especially from the actions of Obasanjo and his slavery acts throughout his time in power
Thanks for the video, i think it will be better if you included in the about section what date exactly this hearing was held. was it during obasanjo's presidency or after?
it was during obasanjo's first tenure
Femi Falana is a material in Legal Profession. I doff my hat for him for flooring Afe Babalola and bold enough to question Obasanjo a sitting President of Nigeria
Babololo is good lawyer
After the Oputa panel,I thought Nigeria was gonna move forward but instead it has become worst today 2018
A country that has never ruled its people by the books (law) try to sole the problem and errors made by its rulers by the law, shameeeeeeeee
Fela didn’t die in this incident because I can read some comments blaming Obj for his death
Not fela's death but his mother's course of death and destruction of their properties and beaten up everybody in that house.
Have pity on a country where some few individual thought they are above others. The most powerful in civilised country as US, UK, France etc. Who are you not to be asked a mere question in the court of law? Arrogance of demi gods of Nigeria is overwhelming. Body language and utterances of the so called judge and defence lawyer tells how they all eat and dine together at night and deceive ordinary citizens by the day time. Only the separation of the ethnicities Biafra, Oodua Arewa etc. Nigerian can never be right.
Salut to you Barrister Falana SAN for courage.
If there is anything like hell, I swear this obj own no go be here oooo... Blood too much for him hand...
June 2020
@@odibeze5802 definitely
This is refreshing to watch. We seem to have regressed as a people a little bit.
Good job Femi but Africa is always Africa...Though Obasanjo appeared in court but he tactically evaded some key questions to his disfavour...
did anyone hear Unknown Soldiers interesting. do we still hear unknown soldiers in 2022? Who is fooling who in this country? My heart bleeds for future generations if we do not get it right.
We thank Mr Fela Anikulapo-Kuti(of blessed memory)for enabling reflection, discussion and serious thoughts on issues of legality and matters concerning our statehood.
At his great expense and personal cost.May his soul rest in eternal rest.
Watching Rev. Fr. Kukah sit on the board of this commission with the legendary Justice Oputa is hearth warming. He’s been involved in National dev matters since. Why then do ppl say Clergies shouldn’t be involved politics?
We are equal before the Law
But is not operated in Nigeria
There's some prominent in Nigeria above the Law.
Thanks for ur comments! Please Subscribe to more videos to be uploaded.
This was waste of time and resources. How could any agent of the government went out to ransack, destroy, and beat people up even with warrant is still against the law. This so called lawyer is nothing but a "Yes Sir" boy!
1 thing is sure, Fela himself will mock this garbage
Watching these Oputa Panel clips only makes it clear that Nigeria experienced years under callous, wicked and kleptomaniac military men who killed people and abused human rights with impunity. It is still going on sadly in a democratic setting...with the military men in agabada...
Obasanjo know he his lying because he speak like you can’t take anything out from me
1:23:11 - Obasanjo had a grip on that binder; shook the soldier off. That guy is too funny.
Wow! OBJ, The President wey sabi......But i think he should have appealed to the Kuti family even though he wasn't the one who sent them....Kudos also to the then Dr. Beko who took this up for the family
me watching this in 2021 knowing that Buhari can never appear to any panel. Nigerian army failed to grace the last three panel meeting on LekkiMassacre EndSARs
Exactly my thoughts
Dr beko God bless you for writing this petition.... I admire your confidence Mr falana SAN obasanjo will not get away with this
Everything Fela preached about is still happening now... I pray Go should intervenes in Nigeria judicial commission which is full of corruptions and politics elements
Femi Falana is super intelligent
you can't catch obj, this nigga too intelligent.
Say what you want about Obasanjo but I respect the fact that he came to the tribunal and this was aired on national television. Things like this makes people believe a little in the system and show that the leadership class aren't Kings. Things like this should be done often so as to educate young Nigerians on our government and democracy. Too many people are absolutely clueless about our system of government.
Fool
Really. Why should Nigeria have an amateur and less composed lawyer to question former President Obasanjo. It was actually Obasanjo who presided over the petition. The whole objective of the petition was distorted. Better organized panel should had been provided for such summon. The lord who took protocol of this petition is an intelligent judge whoever, he seemed to be bias by only opposing petitioner and siding defendant. Lack of Check and balance played a major role here. Nigeria this is the time to organized your judicial system in more stable manner with appropriate atmosphere. What a waste of time.
Knowing that this is the famous Falana is history worth knowing
Obasanjo is beyond this court.. he is a senior bad mafia.....God have mercy on does who collected his bribe
This is not a court but tribunal, more so, OBJ is a serving head of state during this hearing. Even all other former head of state didn't come
Mr president should answer the question, your lordship is loyal to the president
Kudos to those that stood for justice in the past but for those that makes Nigeria unbalanced we leave youna in God hand
My love for Obadanjo is top notch biko....... extra ordinary wisdom
Me thinks Femi Falana was just a Big name.His pattern of questioning on this panel could also be done by any scumbag out there.I am not a lawyer,but I can tell the difference between and good one and a pretender. It hurts,I know but it's the truth......
I applaud Fela's lawyer and Fela suing the government. Nigeria is in deep shit and will always be unless something is done. That country disgust me.
Who are you please
@@kefaslinnus6451 😂😂😂
This whole commission is a joke and they work I favoritism !! No justice for the kuti family still Rip legend Fela kuti!
The C in C should take responsibility whether good times or bad times. This should be no different. Typical, Obasanjo showing arrogance and above the law again
Nice to watch this dispassionately in 2020. Someday, justice will be served still.
What about Babaginda .He is the worst criminal of the decade.
I love fela,he always says d truth.
With the recent brutality, it's evident that we've Successfully achieved the mentioned Anarchy ( by sliding gradually towards anarchy and chaos with unchecked irregularities, accumulated atrocities, tolerated dehumanization, unsanctioned corruption, unquestioned deception/oppression/deprivation...etc) leading to endless chaos.
Madness they forcefully acquired the landed property without compensation the only consolation ironically named the school build on the land known as Ransome-Kuti memorial secondary school. I trusted Beko the man just smile that smile spoke volume B/S.
President Buhari as a sitting President won't appear before this panel... he will definitely sent Mr. Femi Adeshino to represent him.
Wasted resources, nothing changes, things rather get worse
This Man has always been Arrogant for every reason, if u don't give proper Details here on Earth u will give details to your own creator when the time comes .. rubbish cabal men.. Fela your legacy lives forever!!!!
Biased and shameful. Good job Falana
Much ado about nothing this seems to me. One Simple, though very sad matter and a hundred thousand fancy words to colour it in the name of judicial legislation. The federal government did injustice to a humble folk...and pls stop using the word 'allegedly' in cases like this because the aftermath is apparent/evident enough. An elderly harmless woman of 77 years was thrown out of the window to her death among other shocking atrocities by individuals from the Nigerian military... 'allegedly' my buttside! In all honesty, an ultra sincere apology coupled with a massive compensation is the next best thing to ensue from any God fearing and democratic government. Should we really be sitting over this and wasting resources? I ask.
You have the greatest sense. The panel knew justice cant be gotten for the wronged, so they tried to give them the next thing: "speak, confront your accusers and be heard"
Obasanjo could be held responsible for two main points even when he dd not call the direct shot. In a civilised society, collective resposibility makes him pointedly guilty of the misdemeanour of his lieutenants. second, were Obasanjo to be a Northerner/Hausa-would he hv condoned a southerner /yoruba officer oppressing with impunity a fellow northerner. Femi Falana is not brilliant at all; he made Obasanjo felt he was brilliant. US prosecutors would hv shredded him!
Just a show. Obj is a demon
I really respect mr Falana. Very brave 👏
Aare AFE Babalola CON OFR SAN
Damn this was the time there was still hope for my beloved nation!
Now it's a just a shame what has become of it 😢😢
Something else
@@stephenafonja8193 Ooooo
IMAGE THIS SAME MAN RECOMMENDED OBI TO US
I lived through this. There was no hope even then, listen to the first lawyer repeat himself 8 times. This is now a respectable SAN. No hope.
Afe Babalola... What a brilliancy
This make mockery of the judiciary. Obasanjo was questioned as a president and as such, the questionnaires were jittery. And more also, chief Afe Babalola was too overbearing as a senior member of the bar. Nobody gets justice in that kind of arrangement. I salute the young Falana for his courage.
