Oby Ezekwesili Invitation: Keyamo Is Turning To Opportunist – Youth Alliance

The Integrity Youth Alliance has called on Festus Keyamo to stop displaying his ignorance as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria.

In a press release on Thursday in Abuja, the National Coordinator of Integrity Youth Alliance, Kelvin Adegbenga said it is unfortunate that a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, like Festus Keyamo didn’t know the difference between invitation, Arrest and detention.

“We wish to enlighten Festus Keyamo that the leadership of Bring Back Our Girls were invited and not arrested and detained by the Nigeria Police Force, FCT Command. By invitation, it means; a written or verbal request inviting someone to go somewhere or to do something while arrest mean to seize (a person) by legal authority or warrant; take into custody while detention mean the act or fact of detaining or holding back; especially: a holding in custody. From the above definition, we wish to enlighten Festus Keyamo that the leadership of the Bring Back Our Girls were invited to the FCT Police Command for a brief by the Commissioner of Police in respect of the security report that some hoodlums want to hijack their daily rally; thereby take caution, Adegbenga said.

Adegbenga further implore Festus Keyamo to continue “struggling to come to terms with the explanation given by the Police for the ‘arrest” while we know that the leadership of the Bring Back Our Girls is acting her political map towards the 2019 general election by claiming that she was “arrested and detained” to gain more popularity.

“Calling for the removal of the Inspector-General of Police from office by Festus Keyamo is the most implausible statement to have come from a supposed learned SAN. The Nigeria Police owes nobody any apology for doing her rightful duties of protection of life and properties of Nigerians, the statement concluded.
