“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

(Civil Rights Activist)

Dear ,On Tuesday, August 23rd, the U.S Government signed an agreement with the federal government of Nigeria to authorise the repatriation of $23 million interest on the Abacha Loot. The total recovered from monies Abacha stole amounts to $3.65 billion.

However, since the first tranche of the recovered loot was paid in 1999, the federal government has failed to provide public information on how the funds were spent.What is the federal government afraid of? 

Inibehe Effiong Completes Prison Term

Human rights activist and lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, regained his freedom after 30 days of unlawful imprisonment by Akwa Ibom Chief Judge, Ekaette Obot.

Inibehe was sentenced for contempt, without due process, after he questioned and objected to the presence of two armed police operatives in the Courtroom.

Effiong said he helped secure the release of 17 inmates who had been unjustly imprisoned and his voice will keep getting louder.This is not an end to our demand for #JusticeForInibehe.
