Today David Aiyedogbon is enjoying the leverage of impunity and abuse of power by the Nigerian Police Abuja command. No doubt, he is a happy man. He is not only enjoying the full backing of the Police but he is as well being shielded by the Police from investigation and possible prosecution. How long the leverage lasts is only known to the almighty God. But as for Emeka Ugwuonye Esquire,  he has played his part gallantly. Posterity will judge him kindly. One of the aims of the Nigerian Police in their vicious persecution, vendetta and calumny against Emeka Ugwuonye has been more on how to exonerate David Aiyedogbon than finding what happened to Charity Aiyedogbon( Cha-Cha.) Once David is shown to be free, then the case is closed. That is why Nigerians should appreciate Emeka Ugwuonye for his sacrifices to ensure that the case is still alive. We have seen from the lackluster attitude of the Nigerian Police Abuja command and the desperation of David Aiyedegbon to destroy all evidence pointing at him as having hands in the fate that  befall his late wife. David and Emeka has different objectives. While Emeka's objective is to find what happened to Cha-Cha, Davids objective is to exonerate himself from the fate that visited Cha-Cha. The truth will be revealed, despite how long it is delayed. Emeka and David's objectives appear to be right depending  on the perspective from where one views it but time shall tell.

    Since the making of this video, which was only an introduction, a number of changes have occurred as a result. First, all the detainees mentioned in the video have been either released or charged to court as we demanded. And none of them was killed extra-judicially by the police.   Secondly, the new Inspector General of  Police has abolished a number of police units responsible for the kind of abuses that thrived in abattoir. Also, the police force under the new Inspector General has issued apologies to victims of police abuse. These are marks of progress for which Due Process Advocate International Foundation (DPA) must take some of the credit.   However, more needs to be done to end police atrocities. Also, the new police leadership needs to act faster and to extend reforms to other areas of human rights abuses by the police. Even though,the founder of DPA was charged to court after the making of this video.   For the video, we are proud that we did not keep quiet in the face of gross human right violations by our policemen.  And, we intend to do more; as long as there is injustice in the land, we shall not relent. We shall fight on to protect the ordinary citizen from injustice. Welcome once again to the introduction to Abattoir:   Nigeria's Secret Prison. https://m.facebook.com/groups/133527986816712?view=permalink&id=1184318638404303

The much awaited trial in the ten-count case, which the police filed against Emeka Ugwuonye, Founder of a leading Human Rights and Justice movement in Nigeria (DPA) finally got underway yesterday in Abuja at the High Court for the Federal Capital Territory sitting in Gudu, Abuja. The police prosecutor put into the witness box their star witness. He testified in chief about the publications on DPA Facebook handle which accused him of involvement in his wife's disappearance and presumed death. Everybody waited to hear David give testimony to show he had no hand in his fate. But surprisingly, he was more interested in trying to show that he was not caught. Much of the testimony was on what was published, and he could not give any testimony to show that what was published was false. Despite the hand signals that his aides in the persons of Daniel Obiora and one man in blue jacket were giving him from the gallery, Aiyedogbon failed to show which part of the publication was false. In the witness box, Aiyedogbon exuded the confidence of a man assured of the protection of the police. With two years of knowing that the police have been his friends and protector, he seemed to have ignored what mattered the most - did you play any role in what happened to Chacha? Forget what was published or by whom: is any of that true? The cross-examination of David will continue in two weeks. The court was ready to continue next week, but the police prosecutor did all he could to push for a further date obviously to prolong Emeka's detention pending trial, which is one thing they are expecting to achieve. The court repeatedly warned the prosecutor that no undue delay will be tolerated given that Emeka is in custody. On his own part, Emeka was totally undisturbed about being in custody. He put it thus: "No price is too much for finding what happened to Chacha. Some time in prison is not too much a price to pay for the truth of what happened. All I want is for the world to know that DPA will go all the way to seek justice for a woman that suffered so much marital abuse and ended up dead in the strangest circumstances. Chacha's right to life, which is the most important life was taken away. DPA will bear any cross, climb any mountain, swim across any ocean and trek across the Sahara desert to find justice and truth for her". Trial continues in two weeks time. Effort is underway to revisit the issues of bail and release for Emeka Ugwuonye pending trial.
