 Military judge suppresses Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s FBI confession in 9/11 case A military judge has excluded a confession that alleged Sept. 11 attacks mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed gave to FBI agents nearly 20 years ago, ruling that the statements were not made voluntarily. The decision is a setback for the U.S. government's long-running effort to prosecute Mohammed, who is accused of helping develop the plot to hijack planes and crash them into the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Mohammed remains detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, alongside other defendants awaiting trial. Lt. Col. Michael Schrama, the judge overseeing the case, scheduled a June 2028 trial for Mohammed and three other defendants earlier this week. In an order issued Friday that has not been made public, Schrama barred prosecutors from using statements Mohammed made during four days of FBI questioning at Guantanamo in January 2007. Mohammed had previously been captured and held by the CIA, where he was subjec...

CORPORAL AKOR MARTINS,NOW A LIVING DEAD.

Photo: He was a pitiable sight to behold at Crown
Hospital, Nkpor in Anambra State, where he
is on admission for treatment of broken legs
and arm. He was all bones and no flesh left
on his frail body. With eyes sunken deep into
its sockets, and body lying still, unable to
move because of the heavy chain locking his
broken leg, Corporal Akor Martins, can be
best described as a remnant of his old self.
Until September 2013, Akor was a very active
agile policeman attached to Ogbaru
Divisional Police Station. But that month
sadly, fate played a very cruel game on him.
A hit- and-run driver knocked him down,
while he was on official traffic duty post at
Ogbaru. That accident left him with both
legs broken. With that incident, a life of
misery, rejection and abandonment by the
police force, which he dedicated his life
serving and the society, which he was on duty
to protect, has set in. With no more flesh but
all bones left of once strong agile man, what
is left of Akor is vegetable.
If you think that his employers, Nigeria Police
Force, would come to his rescue at this hour
of his need, you better think again. It took
the intervention of his colleagues who taxed
themselves to raise a meagre sum of
N20,000 (twenty thousand Naira) with which
he was rushed to the Crown Hospital, where
he was on admission when THISDAY
encountered him recently.
Ever since the incident happened, no help
has come his way, not from Ogbaru Division
where he was on active duty before neither
the incident nor the state command or the
Force Headquarters.
Looking lean and terribly emaciated, with
iron fitted on both legs, Akor’s looked
helplessly hopeless on his sick bed. From the
look of things, only divine intervention can
save him from death. Barely audible, Akor
told our correspondent his pathetic story.
According to him, “I was on traffic duty that
day. Suddenly this vehicle came by driving
recklessly. Before I could jump out of the
way, the driver knocked me down.” Sensing
big trouble, the driver zoomed off and never
to be seen. “My station could not help me. It
was after a while that my colleagues raised
some money to rush me to hospital. Since
that time, nobody has come to my aid. My
DPO is aware of my condition. The incident
happened while I was on duty so there is no
way he won’t know.” Attempts to reach
Crown Hospital and the Ogbaru Police
Division to confirm what has become of
Corporal Akor’s fate since encountering him
at the hospital proved abortive.      On September 2013,Corporal Akor was a very active policeman attached to Ogbaru Divisional police station.He is lying down pitiable on that bed at Crown Hospital in Nkpor Anambra state after an accident,in which he was ran down by a hit and run driver while he was on official traffic duty post at Ogbaru.The accident left him with both legs broken.He was abandoned by the police force.It took the intervention of his colleagues who taxed themselves to raise a meagre sum of N20,000 which was used to rush him to the Crown Hospital.My concern now is that,he was serving his country before a reckless driver did this to him.Now he is abandoned will these single act of abandonment by the government send a signal to others that if anything happen's to that officer during the course of carrying out your official duty,they are not liable,is that a caveat from the Nigerian Government?.
