Dear Executive Secretary,

BEFORE MRS NKIRU CHIKWELUBA DIES LIKE THE DUO OF HER

LATE HUSBAND, MR. JUDE CHIKWELUBA AND HER NEIGBOUR,

LATE MR. TOCHUKWU OKIKE WHO DIED WHILE RESCUING HER WHEN MTN HIGH-TENSION CABLE CITED AT THEIR RESIDENTIAL BUILDING FELL UNDER THEIR ROOF: CD CALLS ON PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN TO REVOKE THE LICENSE OF MTN OVER EXPLOITATION, WICKEDNESS, INTIMIDATION AND DOUBLE MURDER.

The CAMPAIGN FOR DEMOCRACY, (CD) South East Region writes to your public office over the above serious subject matter.

This petition/protest letter is predicated upon the double electrocution of the duo of Mr. Jude Chikwueluba, (the Landlord of No. 4 Loius Mbanefo Street, Woliwo Layout, Onitsha and the Late Tochukwu Okike (a tenant) who rushed to rescue Mrs. Nkiru Chikwuluba) who was hooked by Mobile Telecommunication Network (MTN) mast cable which fell down from the above stated Companies sub-transmission centre high-tension cable at No. 4 Loius Mbanefo street, Woliwo Layout, Onitsha South L.G.A, Anambra, where the above named persons died while Mrs. Nkiru Chikweluba and her three children sustained grievous injuries. The ugly incident took place when the entire families had gone into sleep on March 2009.

Recall that the entire Chikweluba family had gone to sleep when neigbours raised the alarm that a bungalow situated at the above named addressed had been covered by flame resulting Mrs. Chikweluba rushing out with three of her children, Master Emeka Chikweluba, Miss Chidimma Chikweluba and Master Chiemeriem Chikweluba to the rescue.

According to the injury stricken woman, when her neigbours alerted her that the entire house had been visited by calamity as a result of the high tension cable that fell on it, She immediately rushed to their entrance gate and got hooked by the current from the electrocution, when her neigbour, Late Mr. Tochukwu Okike saw her being hooked at the gate, he jumped from their fence and attempted to rescue her from outside the gate and got immediately electrocuted by the MTN fallen high-tension, her husband rushed out and also attempted to near her and was thrown inside a mosquito infected gutter which led to his death after some period of time with Mrs. Chikweluba unconsciously, she was rushed to DELTA HOSPITAL located at No. 21 Ziks Avenue Fegge, Onitsha.

Due to the magnitude of her injuries, she was referred to General Hospital Enugu after few months of stay at the hospital where some parts of her human parts (Leg) was cuts to enable the medical expects to fill the injuries she sustain at her right hand.   

MTN UNPROFESSIONAL CONDUCT           

From the foregoing, the next morning, some team of MTN Staff visited the said residence and promised to pay the Late Mr. Jude Chikweluba, Tochukwu Okike and Mrs. Chikweluba and her three children the sum of N10 million each as a compensation for the loss of their bread winner and including Mrs. Chikweluba’s three children which suffered different degrees of deformation among others.

From the date of the incident till now, it is on record neither the MTN Management nor staff were seen anywhere around the family with a view to helping them ameliorate the untold hardship and calamity their carelessness had brought to Chikwelubas as they are yet to fulfill their promise including millions of naira they family incurred during both funerals and hospital bills.

Mrs. Chikweluba’s Attorney had made serious petition to MTN over their blatant negligence and man’s inhumanity to man meted out to the both families but to no avail.

The most painful part of it again is that widow of the Late Okike was pregnant at the time of the death of her husband and has been made to face untold hardship following the death of their breadwinner.

MTN EXPLIOTATIVE TENDENCIES

Due to lack of money, Mrs. Chikweluba has been thrown out of the hospital, with her right hand injury are fast decaying oozing out offensive odour while her three children have being sent out of schools. For Mrs. Okike she now sells pap in order to take care of her child.  

OUR OBSERVATION

It is our firm position in accordance with various national and international legal instruments, such as the 1999 constitution as Amended (Chapter 4 etc) the NCC Act, the criminal procedure Act, as Amended, the public order Act, etc, and the International Convention of civil political, and economic rights, the African Charter on Human and People’s  Rights, the UN conventions Against Torture and intimidator tendencies, the UN basic concepts for the law enforcement Agencies and the Un code of conducts on extra- judicial treatment including ELECTRICUTION as witnessed and meted out by MTN outside the due processes amount to murder and commission of crimes against humanity and human family.

It is also our firm position in accordance with these legal instruments, applicable and enforceable in Nigeria that any psychophysical treatment of any citizens either through ELECTRICUTION, which are outside the due processes, amount to cruel and other inhuman and degrading treatments, which are an extension of crimes against humanity as defined in Article seven (7) of the 1998 Rome statue for the international crimes Tribunal, which Nigeria has ratified. Section 33, 34, 35 etc of the 1991 constitution as amended is indisputably clear.

We wish to inform your regulatory body that the extortionist institution like MTN have committed and continued to commit high treason and crime against defenseless and innocent Nigerians by threatening the Nigeria establishment as well as including in undercover crimes.

OUR DEMAND

(1)     That MTN shall within three (3) days in receipt of this letter made a public apology to the both families via for negligence of duty resulting to deaths of the above residents.

(2)     That the sum of N100 million be given to each victim as above stated within seven (7) days after receipt of this letter.

(3)     That the MTN Executive Director will personally pay a funeral visit to both families as a mark of respect for the families.

(4)     That the location of the life threatening High Tension wire (cables/mast) crossing through residential building should immediately be disconnected as presently witnessed at No. 4 Loius Mbanefo street where the two young men died.

(5)     That your public institution should find ways in checkmating the exploitative institutions like MTN before many Nigerians become widows.

OUR ADVICE IS AS FOLLOWS:

a.      That a well written code of conducts stipulating among other things operational activities be entered.

b.     That a monitoring team comprising some senior staff of your institution be set up to ensure full compliance.

This organizations precious and brotherly advice will bring this rising tide of social upheavals to an end. CD is of the view that it will be dangerous and amounts to sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity for your establishment to turn this brotherly advice down. If seven days (7) after receipt of this letter and nothing is done to this effect, CD may be compelled to use every available legal resource within its disposal to effect the exposition of all these crimes against humanity. Legal redress is equally, not ruled out should other avenues yield no satisfactory result.

We hope that our petition is not going to be swept under the carpet.

Yours Faithfully,

For: The CD South East Region
