AGF Bello Adoke Is Dancing Naked On Senator Yerima And His 13yrs Old Wife
By Charles Jiduwah
The statement credited to our Attorney General & Minister of Justice, Mr Mohammed Bello Adoke today (01-09-10) “that the senator has no case to answer before the law, because the Child Rights Acts was enacted by the Senate to protect the Nigerian child, not the Egyptian child as this case was” according to NEXT (http://234next.com/csp/cms/sites/Next/News/Metro/Politics/5613547-146/go...) Is most unfortunate coming from the chief law officer in Nigeria.
I challenge Mr Adoke to show me where in the Act a Child is defined as a Nigerian by birth and or nationality. As much as I know, the Child Right's Act 2003, passed into law in the Federal Capital Territory (Abuja), defines a child as a person who has not attained the age of eighteen years. Furthermore the Immigration Act stipulates that any person below 16 years is a minor.
Article. 2 of Children and Young Persons Act, enacted in Eastern, Western and Northern regions States a "'child' means [a] person under the age of fourteen years, while 'young person' means a person who has attained the age of fourteen years and is under the age of seventeen years."
Is Mr Adoke suggesting that if a crime is committed against a Ghanaian child in Nigeria (for example), the person who committed the crime is free because the Child Right Act avails him/her a jurisdiction defence? Are children of foreigners in Nigeria left without protection from the Child Right Act? This line of argument from our Attorney General & Minister of Justice is lame and myopic coming from a learned gentleman.
Mr Adoke should be told pointblank that he will be protecting a paedophile who imports a child into the country if he fails to take serious action against the Senator. Does he the Attorney General & Minister of Justice know that any child within the borders of Nigeria or any other country is owed a duty of care by the law enforcement officers of that nation? Should we accept our AGF argument if a foreigner (child) is raped or sexually abused within our borders by Nigeria citizen who sought to rely on his AGF’s point view on the protection coverage of the Child Right Act 2003?
Any point of law (omission or commission) that has or is being deployed by Mr Adoke and others in exonerating Senator Yerima of this grave crime against a child will further expose our country as a nation of different laws for the high/mighty and low/needy. The constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria should not be ridiculed under any pretence by the same people who are supposed to be protecting it. . Section 1 of (1) of the 1999 Constitution clearly solved the problem arising/stemming from the sharia code, as it declares its supremacy “This Constitution is supreme and its provisions shall have binding force on the authorities and persons throughout the Federal Republic of Nigeria. While Section 1 of (3) put a nail on it by stating “If any other law is inconsistent with the provisions of this Constitution, this Constitution shall prevail, and that other law shall, to the extent of the inconsistency, be void”.
As I said before if we allow Senator Sanni Yerima who also was a former Governor of Zamfara State descend to the level of promoting paedophilia in the name of marriage, then it is safe to say our children and visitors are no longer safe in our country. The legal angle Mr Adoke is coming from cannot be relied upon, because a crime committed to a Nigerian in UK, US or any other nation is a CRIME and such is dealt with according to the relevant laws in that country.
Mr Adoke should not forget the preambles of the 1999 constitution which states and I quote “We the people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Having firmly and solemnly resolved, to live in unity and harmony as one indivisible and indissoluble sovereign nation under God, dedicated to the promotion of inter-African solidarity, world peace, international co-operation and understanding and to provide for a Constitution for the purpose of promoting the good government and welfare of all persons in our country, on the principles of freedom, equality and justice, and for the purpose of consolidating the unity of our people ..........”
In 1989, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), whilst the OAU Assembly of Heads of States and Governments adopted the African Union Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (CRCW) in July 1990. Nigeria has signed both International Instruments and had ratified them in 1991 and 2000 respectively. Both international instruments contain universal sets of standards and principles for survival, development, protection and participation of children.
It reflects children as human beings and as subjects of their own rights. The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) outlines the human rights to be respected and protected for every child under the age of 18 years and requires that those rights are implemented. Amongst the prohibited conducts or crimes against a child in the CRC-1989, AU-CRCW-1990 and the Nigeria CRA-2003 is Betrothal and marriage of children.
I have called for our Senate to suspend him (Yerima) without delay, else our Senate will be guilty of supporting this absurdity. I also call on Mr Mohammed Bello Adoke to repent of his lame excuse and do what is right and reasonable before the law. . I need not remind our AGF that UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Child Rights Act 2003, has since set the statuary minimum age of marriage at 18 years in all parts of the country. This is a crime against a child, any child within Nigeria is a Nigerian child named and owed protection under the Child Right Act of 2003.
As Nigerians heal their land, may God bless Nigeria.

Yerima the proponent of sharia law in Nigeria as committed a crime against humanity. He should be tied to a stack and get his Pe--is removed.Here in US u cant even have any sexual interaction with a 17 year old minor except in state of Texas talk of 13. Am sure u will pay dearly for it. The AGF is a disgrace to law proffession, how I wish that 13 year old girl is his daughter.A**hole.

Finally check out the US section of the wikipedia on SEXUAL SLAVERY
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_slavery#United_States
Some of it is pasted here
In the 21st century, women, mostly from South America, Southeast Asia, and the former Soviet Union, are trafficked into the United States for sexual slavery.[89] Contrary to some existing misconceptions, American citizens are also coerced into sex slavery.[90]
Today the United States State Department estimates that 50,000 to 100,000 women and girls are trafficked each year in the United States. Many times these girls are some of the most vulnerable that are thrust into this industry. According to Girl’s Education & Mentoring Services (GEMS), an organization based in New York, the majority of girls that are thrown into this industry were abused as children. Poverty and a lack of education play major roles in the lives of the women in this industry. According to a report conducted by the University of Pennsylvania, anywhere from 100,000 up to 300,000 American children are at risk of commercial sexual exploitation at any given time

What do you expect from Bello Adoke who has a law degree by quota.He indicated that if he was provided with a copy of the Okigbo Report, he would act on it. When he got it, he told us that his legal knowledge teaches him it would be wrong to prosecute Babankita. Again, his legal knowledge is not sufficient enough to recognise the many legal points Mr Jiduwah raised in his article. Where do they get all these people from? Are there no well-trained and intelligent lawyers in Nigeria to occupy that position? Na waaah-oo for this our ignorant AGF and yeye SAN. Another 'carry-go' lawyer AGF - a square peg in a round hole!

This is a case of 'owoboriomo', meaning 'money before a child (or should I say human-life)'. Whichever it is, that is what 'doing all it takes to stay in a position' entails in Nigeria, even if it involves human sacrifies to please people.
Educated diabolical evil illiterate pack of rulers who cannot see beyond their noses. I wonder if they ever consider what will become of their generations after they have died and gone. Or do they think riches will automatically garranttee healthy and joyous life; let them ask those who have died before them with all their money.
A word is should be enough for the wise.

Isn't it funny that the more things change, the more they remain they same? The rulers (not leaders mind you) in this country always seem to have a way of protecting themselves through avarice! What a shame! This same man that has been dribbling the people about IBB (Oputa reports) has now found a way to protect another criminal. I wonder when will someone in this country would be bold enough to do things the right way instead of pandering to the elite or their pockets. How can a country progress with this kind of mindless, retrogressive people? Gosh! I don't know if this country will ever make it with the kind of people presiding over the government. They are intent in killing the country and its people. What a shame!
