Good People, We all must tell Nigeria Government to stop spreading Nigeria crisis to Kenya. This new claim from the Nigerian Government blaming Kenya of breaching aviation rules is unacceptable. It is clear they just manufactured claims. Why didnt they say this from the word go.....??? It is truely very strange that the Nigeria Diplomatic spat of Kenya, then turn to say this, is a fubrication cannot be accepted as truth. They are after Kenya's taxpayers money for free through a conspiracy and we shall not allow or accept this type of behaviour. Let all the people of Kenya and the Diaspora stand with Kenya for this one, and demand that USA and UK with their Ally partners should intervene and bring this mess to order. That we know how this conspiracy was cooked and that we know these are some of the reason why, Raila dramatically stormed USA without any proper protocol and created a scene when he met with his friends of the Corporate unscrupulous Special Business Interest in Kenya who conspire to want to cause and push Kenya to provoke third world War.....for their selfish greed....... We all must protest very strongly and refuse to be drawn to war because Raila sold Kenya to his special interest for free without consulting with the people of Kenya, and with corruption and drug money, is now destroying livelihood and survival for Kenya people and altogether engaging in LAND GRABBING. This is against the International Human Rights as it is unacceptable. Nigeria is extremely corrupt and it is at war with itself and they should stop pushing the rest of Africa to war with their Boko Haram...... We also demand that the UN take immediate action to intervene and bring this matter to order without meandering.

Kenya's omission from President Obama's Africa itinerary does not signify a downgrading of Washington's relationship with Nairobi, a White House official said on Friday. President Obama is due to visit Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania next week in an Africa tour that will bypass Kenya, his ancestral homeland. "The Kenyan people just hold a very special place in the president's heart," declared Ben Rhodes, spokesman for the US National Security Council. "The close partnership the US has had with Kenya for decades will certainly continue," Mr Rhodes said. The official was speaking at a press briefing in response to a reporter's question of whether Mr Obama's decision to bypass Kenya is tied to the International Criminal Court case involving President Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto. "We respect the sovereign right of the Kenyan people to choose their own leaders," Mr Rhodes said. The US will work with President Kenyatta." Making reference to the ICC indictments, Mr Rhodes further commented: "It wasn't the best time for the president to travel to Kenya at this point." "The Kenyan government will continue to work through the issues it has with the international community," he said. In response to a separate question as to whether Mama Sarah might meet Mr Obama during his visit to Tanzania, Mr Rhodes said: "I am not aware of any plans to see his grandmother." The spokesman noted that Auma Obama, the president's Kenyan half-sister, had attended Mr Obama's recent speech in Berlin as well as the state dinner. --- On Tue, 6/18/13, UNNews <UNNews@un.org> wrote: From: UNNews <UNNews@un.org> Subject: REFUGEE OUTFLOWS RESULTING FROM NIGERIA CRISIS SPREADING TO CAMEROON – UN AGENCY To: news3@NY-MAIL-P-LB-028.ptc.un.org Date: Tuesday, June 18, 2013, 1:00 PM REFUGEE OUTFLOWS RESULTING FROM NIGERIA CRISIS SPREADING TO CAMEROON – UN AGENCY New York, Jun 18 2013 1:00PM The United Nations refugee agency today <"http://www.unhcr.org/51c05dd76.html">reported that the ongoing crisis in north-eastern Nigeria is continuing to send people fleeing to Niger and now to Cameroon amid the insecurity resulting from confrontations between the army and insurgents. The Nigerian Government imposed a state of emergency on the Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states in the north-east of the country in May. In recent weeks, anti-insurgent operations and general insecurity have uprooted thousands of people, with more than 6,000 already having fled to Niger for safety. A team from the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) that visited the area along Cameroon's border with Nigeria reported the presence of over 3,000 Nigerians. "Crossings of Nigerians into Cameroon began a week ago, with people telling us they had fled a confrontation between the Nigerian army and Boko Haram insurgents some 10 kilometres from the border," UNHCR spokesperson Adrian Edwards told reporters in Geneva. "Most of those who have arrived so far are women and children," he added. "They are being hosted in churches and schools, and relying on food from the churches and local population. "We are working with the authorities to relocate the refugees to safer places away from the border." Meanwhile, the agency has sent aid by trucks from Niamey, Niger's capital, to the south-eastern Diffa region, where the over 6,000 people that arrived in recent weeks are currently staying. Mats, blankets, jerry cans, soaps, buckets, mosquito nets and kitchen items have been pre-positioned in Diffa, Bosso, Kablewa and Menesewa and will be distributed to both Nigerian refugees and Nigerien returnees, Mr. Edwards stated. "People are still arriving in Niger," he noted. "At the same time, our teams observed that some displaced persons from Nigeria are returning home after a few days in Niger or shuttling between the two countries depending on the security situation in Nigeria," he added. Mr. Edwards said there have been no further arrivals of Nigerians in Chad beyond the 155 received last week. "There, the border is officially closed," he noted. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Mystery surrounds the identity of three passengers aboard the plane used to deport Nigerian businessman Antony Chinedu amid claims by Nigerian authorities that the trio was not on the plane's official manifest...

For the past two weeks, suspicion had been that Deported Nigerian Anthony Chinedu (in picture) had detained the plane. PHOTO/FILE NATION MEDIA GROUP By AGGREY MUTAMBO amutambo@ke.nationmedia.com Posted Friday, June 21 2013 at 22:05 The Nigerian government on Friday stated that it had detained a Kenyan plane that was used to deport controversial businessman Anthony Chinedu because it flouted "laid down procedures." A statement attributed to the Federal Aviation Authority of Nigeria General Manager for Public Affairs Yakubu Dati said the Kenyan aircraft breached the aviation rules and security regulations required of them. "The aircraft which landed at the MMIA (Murtala Muhammed International Airport) at about 6:36pm with 18 passengers, including three deportees from Kenya did not follow laid down procedures." The FAAN further confirmed that it was withholding all the crew and Kenyan officials that had been assigned to expel the Nigerian with two other compatriots Christopher Nnanyelu and Oluwatosin but failed to explain the nature of the security procedures it had flouted. The Nigerian authorities which had largely remained silent on the simmering dispute now contradicts Kenyan Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohammed's statement earlier in the week that all the officials had approval to go to Nigeria, including clearance to land. Mr Dati added that officials of the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs and some security officials "discovered some lapses during routine checks" on the aircraft registered as 5Y-SAX. The DC-9 model plane belongs to Cavok Airlines but leased by the East African Air Safari Express airlines that operated it for occasional chartered flights . "The aircraft will be released immediately the security personnel complete their checks," the official told reporters in Ikeja, Lagos. It is not clear what sort of "checks" were to be performed and what had transpired in the two weeks for an official statement to be released. The Kenyan government in the meantime had insisted that it was negotiating with Nigerian authorities. For the past two weeks, suspicion had been that Mr Chinedu had detained the Kenyans, at one time even boasting that he was now the "Nigerian official" the Kenyan government should contact. Mr Chinedu who was having two pending cases in Kenyan courts was deported after the government argued that he was a drug trafficker. But he has since gone to court to demand that he be returned to Kenya. Mystery of three strangers in Chinedu's deportation sagaBy EMEKA-MAYAKA GEKARA gmayaka@ke.nationmedia.com and AGGREY MUTAMBO amutambo@ke.nationmedia.com Posted Saturday, June 22 2013 at 23:30 In Summary
Mystery surrounds the identity of three passengers aboard the plane used to deport Nigerian businessman Antony Chinedu amid claims by Nigerian authorities that the trio was not on the plane's official manifest. The Nigerian government came out on Friday night to declare that it was the one holding the seven Kenyan government officials and five airline crew who had escorted Mr Chinedu and his compatriots, Christopher Nnanyelu and Oluwatosin Adebiyi. And experts have cautioned that blunders in the procedure used to deport the Nigerians could cost the country millions of shillings in form of payments to the travel operator and affect the country's bilateral ties with the West African nation. The controversy over the expulsion of the Nigerians suspected to be drug traffickers is now shaping up as a major diplomatic test for the Jubilee government. In a statement on Friday, the Federal Aviation Authority of Nigeria stated that the aircraft and its crew were impounded because they flouted "laid down security procedures". "The security agencies in Lagos discovered that certain procedures were not complied with and subsequently grounded the aircraft," said Mr Yakubu Dati, the authority's general manager for Public Affairs. "That is why the aircraft has been grounded and it is going through security routine at the moment." The officials have been detained in Nigeria since June 3. Mr Yakubu further said that the security agents in Lagos, in their routine checks, had "discovered lapses" in procedures followed by the crew of aircraft, a DC-9 model. "As soon as the grey areas are clarified, the aircraft will be released according to the laws of the land," he promised, but left open the question of how much longer the Kenyans must wait. One of the "grey areas" is the number of passengers on board when it landed at the Murtala Mohammed Airport. The travel manifest in possession of the Sunday Nation shows that the plane carried the seven officials, five crew and the three deportees making a total of 15. But according to the Nigerian authorities, the impounded plane had 18 passengers. There was no clarity on whether the three were Kenyans or more Nigerians. From Monday last week, Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohammed said negotiations were going on between her office and Nigerian authorities. She also insisted that the officials assigned to expel Chinedu and two of his compatriots had all the required travel documents including approval to land in Nigerian airports. But the "grey areas" could prove costly to the taxpayer, the aircraft operators and the Kenyan officials held in Nigeria. The plane is operated by the East African Safari Air Express (EASAX). In 2011, the aircraft stopped regular commercial flights, instead venturing into chartered services. There has been no official statement on how much the government paid or how much loss the operator has incurred as the aircraft continues to be held in Lagos. On Friday, a company statement stated that they would not reveal the financial nature of the chartered service "as that is commercially sensitive information". However, the company did confirm that they were hired only for a day. Two aviation experts estimated the cost of hiring a plane to Lagos to be between Sh10 million and Sh12 million for a day. According to Gad Kamau, a chief pilot at Wilson Airport, it will be the duty of the government to pay the operators for the days the plane had been held. The pilot explained that according to standard practice, the government will be billed by the hour, outside the one-day contract. The government will therefore have to pay for all the extra hours the plane has been detained in Lagos. It was supposed to return to Nairobi on June 4. Sunday will be the 15th day that the team will be staying in Lagos. They include Capt Tim Kavingo, First Officer Rokshanker Masoud (Swede) and their colleagues George Kamau, Ismail Adan and Engineer Alaka Ochieng. The officials who escorted the deportees are Barasa Okosa, Kariuki Ngugi, Mungathia Muriiri, Pardala Dipason, Kivuva Muthama, Andrew Kambi and Mutinda Kakindu. According to media reports, the Swede works for an international airline and only flew to Lagos for an extra coin because he was off duty on that day. Lawyers who spoke to the Sunday Nation on Saturday faulted the manner in which the deportation was executed. "The process was irregular and out of the jurisdiction of a court of law," said lawyer Ashford Mugwuku, who has been retained by Mr Chinedu's former wife, Jocye Akinyi. He termed as false allegations that Ms Akinyi and her new husband were behind the deportation with the aim of inheriting Chinedu's property. The lawyer argues that suspects should have been deported on the strength of a court order, not a presidential decree. Another lawyer, Mr Okello Opolo, argues that the move on Chinedu has significant negative impact on the justice system, because the Nigerian was deported on the basis of suspicion and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty was not taken on board. The two lawyers say that international law requires that Mr Chinedu should have been tried under the Kenyan law and deported if proven guilty after serving his jail term. It is also being argued that for Kenya to persuade Nigeria, it must provide watertight evidence that the deported Nigerian citizens are drug dealers. They also point out that the government should have waited for conclusion of ongoing court cases involving Mr Chinedu. |
