 Hello, it's another edition of Flush Reports, a compilation of the stories and events that made the news recently. Welcome, I'm Jacinta Obuco. The reported arrest of the Sunday Adaya Mohu is also known as Sunday Buhu in the Benner Republic. A few weeks after the federal government arrested, Ipob leader Namde Kano in Kenya is receiving reactions from Nigerians. A Buhu had been declared wanted after his Abaddon home was raided on July 1st by operatives of the Department of State Services, the SS. Osarugi Ogbonwa takes a look at the legal and diplomatic angles to this. Yoruba secessionist leader Sunday Adaya Mohu, also known as Sunday Buhu, has been reportedly arrested while in transit in Benner Republic. As we await official statements and details of his arrest from the Nigerian government, Adaya Mohu's lawyer and other Yoruba leaders are reported to be making frantic moves to prevent his extradition to Nigeria. We take a look at the possibilities. You can be rest assured that the Nigerian government would not define Sunday Adaya Buhu as a political fidgety. The truth is that they have criminalized every of his agitation. They have given an impression that he's been wanted for criminal purposes. And you must understand that no authority, especially that of Nigeria, would assert that it is politically victimizing people just like we clearly understand it is doing. If Nigeria is able to prove to Republic of Benner that he has committed a crime in Nigeria, the chances are he will subsist and Nigeria will succeed in extraditing to Nigeria to face trial in Nigeria. From treaties to diplomatic relations between both countries, analysts have spoken on the likely turn of events and what this means for others who may be seen as fugitives by the Nigerian government. So I know that this is also going to raise some concern from the diplomatic circle and, of course, individuals across the globe who may see that country as a place where they may not be able to pass through again, even when they are under genuine victimization by authorities of their country. You must be aware that the relationship between Nigeria and Benner probably has not been in the best of shape recently. In the recent time there was a case of a good citizen who was said to have been arrested in Republic of Benner and Nigeria has been asking the Republic of Benner to send back the Nigerian citizen. But given the fact that Benner is a beneficiary of the Nigerian big brother foreign policy, I do think that at the end of the day that you will end up being exiled to Nigeria. While we wait for clarity and official statements from the Nigerian government, statements continue to pour in from leaders of social cultural groups calling for respect for the rule of law.

Well, some of the agitators who are demanding his release stressed that they want the federal government to pay more attention to insecurity in Nigeria, because without peace and security, no nation can develop. Also in this report, the arrest of Namdi Kano and Sondi Iwoho has put Nigeria in the diplomatic spotlight. The United Kingdom is asking questions and the Republic of Benner is not cooperating on an extradition request for Iwoho. Plus TV Africa has corresponded and Felix takes a look at Nigeria's place in the international community. The Republic of Benin seems to have taken a stance that questions the giant status of Nigeria in the African and international community. The country refuses to extradite Yoruba activist Sondi Adeyemo, also known as Iwoho, after he was arrested at the Kutunu airport before he could jet off to Germany with his wife. On Plus TV Africa's breakfast show, public affairs analyst Nick Agulay commends Benin Republic for standing its ground. Benin Republic are very, very correct to insist on the rule of law and Nigeria, which should have no reaction to it other than to follow the rule of law. Mark Adebayo on his part quotes the extradition treaty of 1984 between Turgu, Ghana, Nigeria and the Republic of Benin to make a point about Iwoho and Namdi Kano's right to demand for self-determination. This row between Nigeria and Benin Republic might have an impact on the diplomatic relations between both countries, as Adebayo explains. Both Iwoho and Kano have been targeted by the Nigerian government and her security forces for demanding a separate state. But Agulay believes that the ballot box not arms is the answer. Iwoho is appearing in court in Benin and many influential Nigerians are calling for a fair hearing in his case, and Netta, Felix Plus TV Africa. The government appears to have been expediting efforts to curb the menace. One step is the state security report, which is handed to the governor by the Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruan. The governor, El Rafai, maintains his position on the limitation of governors to control security agents posted to their respective state. He calls on the federal government to support the state to make up for manpower deficit. The governor simplifies this with the victims of banditry and the families of security agencies who lost their lives in the fight against banditry across the state. He promises to review the security architecture in Lourdes, what is currently obtainable and appeals the citizens who are losing confidence in security agencies to support and pray for the state. In security, I yet to manifest in the defeat, or at least the considerable degradation of the criminals that menace our people. We have consistently supported the federal security agencies deployed to our state with logistics, resources and equipment. Apart from these recurrent expenses, the state government has undertaken significant capital expenditure to provide facilities that can multiply the capacity of security agencies to deter crime and conduct effective investigations of those that do occur. Insecurity, particularly in front-line communities, has threatened food security because most farmers in those areas have abandoned their farmlands for fear of being killed or kidnapped for ransom. The Nasiri El Rafai-led government has been urged to intensify efforts towards enduring peace and security across the state. On effective policing now, the Inspector General of Police, Baba Usman, has raised the alarm over the incapability of the police force to tackle rising insecurity in the country due to lack of funds. Also, the rule of law and accountability advocacy center RULAC gave some recommendations while briefing newsmen in Lagos. It says the police trust fund should be independent of the police and the government bureaucracy and trustees should make all the decisions to ensure efficiency. On 24th June 2019, President Buhari signed the Nigerian Police Trust Fund Establishment Bill into law to provide funds for the training and retraining of personnel of the Nigerian Police Force, provide them with state-of-the-art security equipment to improve the general welfare of the personnel of the Nigerian Police Force and enhance their preparedness, among others. Overtime, concerns have been raised to some of the many barriers to the effective performance of the PTF. Convener of RULAC, Okechuku Wanguma, speaks more on the essence of the trust fund and what is needed to be done going forward. We came here to do an assessment of the implementation of the police trust fund two years after it was signed into law by the president to see to find out how far they have been able to achieve the mandate of providing additional funding for the police in the absence of adequate funds from the federal government. The issue of structure has also been identified as making it impossible for the fund to operate. Some members of civil society present were quick to observe the challenge of indiscipline and the limit to how much the executive secretary can approve. There are good ones, there are good policemen, not because there are bad acts there, you know, we count all of them together, there are good policemen and women and when you meet them, you fall in love with them. These men and women, to be frank with you, they suffer. Some of them don't have, you know, their salary is nothing to talk about. Some of them, when you get to their divisions, they don't have anything to work with. Wanguma also speaks on other bureaucratic bottlenecks. When I talked about bureaucracy, I'm talking about one, the structure of the police trust fund. First of all, you have different layers of authority, which includes the police, and it's not supposed to be so because the police is a beneficial organization. It ought to be aside, the trust fund is supposed to be outside of the police. Aside the board of trustees, you have an implementation committee. I saw that the act also gives the beauty the power to appoint other committees. The Nigerian police trust fund in essence seeks to achieve an overall improvement in the efficiency of the police force, including its auxiliary staff in Nigeria and abroad.

The issues of inadequate funds for training and other oppression or residences remains a major challenge for the police raising questions of corruption and the administration of the fund.
