- Former President Olusegun graced the Human Rights Violation Investigation Commission (HRVIC) in relation to the petition of Late Fela Kuti.
He was questioned by Femi Falana (SAN), He(President Olusegun) said it were all fabrications that yakubu Danjuma asked that they get Fela Kuti Dead Or Alive and that He knew nothing about such ordeal.
General Olusegun Obasanjo In 1976 was made head of state in a meeting of the Supreme Military Council. Keeping the chain of command established by Murtala Muhammed in place.
During the dictatorship of Sani Abacha (1993--1998), Obasanjo spoke out against the human rights abuses of the regime, and was imprisoned for his participation in an aborted coup. He was released only after Abacha's sudden death on 8 June 1998.
Obasanjo took office as the first elected and civilian head of state in Nigeria after 16 years of military rule, is now commemorated as Democracy Day, a public holiday in Nigeria.

Legendary Mr Femi Falana SAN....who is watching in 2020
I am watching and i se mike ozekhome (The anti-efcc Lawyer) at 1:16:05.
I'm watching it
I'm watching it
Watching👍
Am among
Am I the only one watching this case in 2023 few days after the General Election. I see reason(s) why my love for Femi Falana is topnotch. He always makes me watch channel news
Femi Falana (SAN) and his signature smile till today 😂 badass...respect
I love that man so much.... Honestly.
Wish to see him one day
Please don’t open case
Now I understand why Justice Oputa went for thanksgiving after the end of this assignment. In the word of Obasanjo, an onerous task indeed!
I salute the courage, boldness and tenacity of Mr. Femi Falana
I salute Femi Falana for this because its take extra courage for a young lawyer to question a sitting president in this manner.. cudos
Did you say young lawyer or are you meant to say petite and small-bodied lawyer?
But his arguments were not very strong--truth be told!

@@osarobomike you're very wrong, go do your finding well.
He wasn't a young lawyer then
I am watching in 2024 and it still a very good watch. Thanks to all and TH-cam most especially for providing the platform
This is the very first time in Nigeria's history when a sitting president respected a summons to appear before a tribunal, even though he was not required by law to do so. Obasanjo attended this to show a good example to other Nigerians. So when you give Falana accolades, also reserve some for Baba.
Well presented Falana Kudos!
I don't know how I got here but this is very informative..
I just came across this commission and lavished at the cross examination and tenacity by the lawyer representing the Kuti family. Fela's death will continue to haunt and further interrogate the democratic values of Nigeria. Observing from South Africa 🇿🇦
How are the democratic values of Nigeria and Fela's death related?
Dr beko God bless you for writing this petition.... I admire your confidence Mr falana SAN obasanjo will not get away with this
Falana is good... Legendary!!!
How many leaders today can swallow their pride and do what Obasanjo did? Almost impossible... 2022
who's here in 2019?
yeah....we here
ME!
2020
We here in 2020. And our country is finished. Sad.
To early, representing 2020
We thank Mr Fela Anikulapo-Kuti(of blessed memory)for enabling reflection, discussion and serious thoughts on issues of legality and matters concerning our statehood.
At his great expense and personal cost.May his soul rest in eternal rest.
This's what should have be happening in Nigeria. This video is very interesting it motivate me to study law.
Oga first learn simple English.
Juan Sanchez What you dont like your real name?
Kelvin Elabor Assumptions Assumptions...what makes you assume i dont?
Juan Sanchez Like you said, its just an assumption and i assumed that because not many pidgin speakers have a spanish name. And because I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO ANNOY YOU, ohh that too.
Kelvin Elabor another assumption you are attempting to annoy me. Keep trying you may still achieve your goal.
Watching Rev. Fr. Kukah sit on the board of this commission with the legendary Justice Oputa is hearth warming. He’s been involved in National dev matters since. Why then do ppl say Clergies shouldn’t be involved politics?
We are equal before the Law
But is not operated in Nigeria
There's some prominent in Nigeria above the Law.
Fela was fearless and non tribalistic he attacked Obansanjo for being corrupt but Obasanjo being a bully would not stand that he harassed attacked him but fela dead or alive is always my hero
That is why will need to use word of mouth to kill all our Corrupt Leader
The man questioning Obasanjo is highly learned and brained enough only that there is no truth in court of law
A monumental task for Justice Oputa. Gen Obasanjo was very articulate more than Falana. Cannt believe the cross examination, very poor.
I don't think so
Though I watched this panel then, now it refreshes my memory about some unlawful actions seen as profession.... Long life to all that have chanced to view this(Kabir Abubakar) , longlife falana and longlife Nigeria.…....
ADEYEMI PATMORE what do you think sir?
fela would have lost his mind seeing obasonjo in power again
Watching in May 2020 respect to Femi Falana ✊🏿
2022
No body is above the law, Olusegun Obasanjo is showing here that he is above the law by his attitude. A big thanks to that lawyer called Femi Falana
+Felix Omorodion bcuz he was talkin with confidence means hes above d law? smh
Michael Babalola .byn
Felix Omorodion OBJ is a douchebag!
What if he refused to show up ?, like other former president that refused to showed up @ the panel,now you are branding him a man above the law ,you cowards.
Felix Omorodion wrong mate. OBJ’s submissions were purely logical and not arrogant as you assume. His counsel and the learned judge, Justice Oputa both averred that Falana’s Question was insulting and was contrary to the evidence act.
I really respect mr Falana. Very brave 👏
My love for Obadanjo is top notch biko....... extra ordinary wisdom
Femi Falana is a material in Legal Profession. I doff my hat for him for flooring Afe Babalola and bold enough to question Obasanjo a sitting President of Nigeria
Babololo is good lawyer
The picture and sound quality then is far better than what NTA is broadcasting in 2019
So on point
True
Anyone still watching NTA?
True
Obasanjo Is a Legend 🔥 🔥 🔥...
Well! dis so interesting for every Nigerian to know truth. God bless you guys for dis update
Knowing that this is the famous Falana is history worth knowing

Kudos to those that stood for justice in the past but for those that makes Nigeria unbalanced we leave youna in God hand
Can you imagine how Afe Babalola SAN is busy defending Obasanjo's evil act that is physical to the blind and audible to the deaf.
Despite all his efforts to confused Femi Falana.
I salute and respect Femi Falana SAN
Obasanjo was fact checking a lawyer and you’re impressed?
Hear that word " unknown soldier "
Bunch of bloody bastards
Well done lawyer femi falana 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Nice to watch this dispassionately in 2020. Someday, justice will be served still.
This is refreshing to watch. We seem to have regressed as a people a little bit.
OBJ let the cat out of the bag with “get that bloody man”...he must have heard those words himself.
Damn this was the time there was still hope for my beloved nation!
Now it's a just a shame what has become of it 😢😢
Something else
@@stephenafonja8193 Ooooo
IMAGE THIS SAME MAN RECOMMENDED OBI TO US
I lived through this. There was no hope even then, listen to the first lawyer repeat himself 8 times. This is now a respectable SAN. No hope.
Well, Falana looked kinda like Eddie Murphy here...:)
Thanks. I thank the Jurists for hearing this case. I send my warm greetings to Kuti's and emphatize with them. I appluade OBJ for allowing this Commission to be established and for leading by example, by honourinng the Jurists to be personally present.
Falana may God continue to bless you for been truthful human all your life
Falana was clumsy in his interview of OBJ.. but still managed to hold his own.
Afe Babalola... What a brilliancy
Wow! OBJ, The President wey sabi......But i think he should have appealed to the Kuti family even though he wasn't the one who sent them....Kudos also to the then Dr. Beko who took this up for the family
Femi Falana is super intelligent
Thanks for ur comments! Please Subscribe to more videos to be uploaded.
Oputa Panel established by Obasanjo himself was a show of mockery to Nigerians and to the victims in case. The resources used in setting up this panel was a waste. All the criminal cases and their perpetrators, examined by this panel could not reach any conclusive end. Nigeria is a joke. Thanks to Barrister Falana for exposing the uselessness of this mockery panel and Obasanjo's injustice to the fela's family.
Even Justice Oputa softened up for ObJ. Obj shouldn't have taken the stand if he was going to grandstand and make a mockery of the panel his government instituted in the spirit of 'national reconciliation'.
nothing has changed, the same vagabonds are still in power
After all dis, every tin still remain the same. Wat a wasted effort
After the Oputa panel,I thought Nigeria was gonna move forward but instead it has become worst today 2018
Well done!
The youth should be awoken, this right here Tastes way better than BBN mixed with TRACE NAIJA
i watched alot
Say what you want about Obasanjo but I respect the fact that he came to the tribunal and this was aired on national television. Things like this makes people believe a little in the system and show that the leadership class aren't Kings. Things like this should be done often so as to educate young Nigerians on our government and democracy. Too many people are absolutely clueless about our system of government.
Fool
This must have been so retraumatizing to Beko Kuti
I love fela,he always says d truth.
Thanks for the video, i think it will be better if you included in the about section what date exactly this hearing was held. was it during obasanjo's presidency or after?
it was during obasanjo's first tenure
Obasanjo should not have just come. He was glorifying himself in his answers. Puffed up, arrogant and not wiling to cooperate. With holier than thou tactical answers.
Have pity on a country where some few individual thought they are above others. The most powerful in civilised country as US, UK, France etc. Who are you not to be asked a mere question in the court of law? Arrogance of demi gods of Nigeria is overwhelming. Body language and utterances of the so called judge and defence lawyer tells how they all eat and dine together at night and deceive ordinary citizens by the day time. Only the separation of the ethnicities Biafra, Oodua Arewa etc. Nigerian can never be right.
Salut to you Barrister Falana SAN for courage.
Left to Buhari he will not come. He does not even know the rule of law either.
Really sad how this went......no Justice in Nigeria, Animal dey wear Agbada
I just hope this doesn't repeat itself with the Lekki tollgate massacre.
@@obafemiadeyemi It has the tell tale signs of a potential conclusion.
1:23:11 - Obasanjo had a grip on that binder; shook the soldier off. That guy is too funny.
Do we still have brave men like this in Nigeria judicial system of today?
If anyone could be skilled enough to be up to this task it's Femi Falana
Obasanjo is beyond this court.. he is a senior bad mafia.....God have mercy on does who collected his bribe
This is not a court but tribunal, more so, OBJ is a serving head of state during this hearing. Even all other former head of state didn't come
beautyfull demonstrations of democratie. never seen in western world !! nigeria is great in his own way
Yet, no results
Dey play
This femi falana is a great person . I love his courage for being there to question the sitting present
Live Long Sir femi falana

The Lagos panel should learn from this.
Watching these Oputa Panel clips only makes it clear that Nigeria experienced years under callous, wicked and kleptomaniac military men who killed people and abused human rights with impunity. It is still going on sadly in a democratic setting...with the military men in agabada...
Mr president should answer the question, your lordship is loyal to the president
Very interesting
President Buhari as a sitting President won't appear before this panel... he will definitely sent Mr. Femi Adeshino to represent him.
Everything Fela preached about is still happening now... I pray Go should intervenes in Nigeria judicial commission which is full of corruptions and politics elements
What has a citizen done to deserve such invasion by military personnel? Obasanjo even gave a stupid answer to act of Unknown soldier. History would tell ,cause Fela's chapter is vital in Nigeria History.The government DABARU everything cause the soldiers are acting under Command.Obasanjo is not even taking responsibility for shit that happen during his term.
Obasanjo is well grounded in knowledge and wisdom.
A true leader.
He is a liar 🤥
Awesome stuff. This is of immense significant historic importance. Please continue uploading as many of these Oputa Panel hearings as possible.
Thank you very much for sharing!
Nigeria is a National Theatre where different artist come to show their art.WHAT A NATION SINCE 1960 !
Very well described.😀😁 you no lie! Afi national theatre
Nation of u serious people
@@ajaiyemeretighan2703 un serious people
Nigeria is a young nation, cut it some slack.
President Obasanjo was the sitting president at the time of this hearing by this panel, so it was appropriate for him to be referred to as "your excellency".
This panel is All jokes this man has no respect for the law very arrogant man ,it's a shame what is wrong with our leaders
Did we still have something like this panel in this country

1 thing is sure, Fela himself will mock this garbage
If there is anything like hell, I swear this obj own no go be here oooo... Blood too much for him hand...
June 2020
@@odibeze5802 definitely
Oputa was brilliant
the ending was so funny :-)
Why do they have two microphones?
Lachlan Simpson 🤣
Nigeria...
OBJ was in total control of this proceedings. Falana was just dancing around. There was nothing new unearthed.
When was the last time a president face or answer to petition.
The gradual decay!
The legendary respected Oputa panel went dead all of a SUDDEN!
The momentum is building up now in the country that forces and time of anarchy will make it easy and possible to bring this people to JUSTICE and pay with thier lives for all the evils,killings,stealing and injustice they have carried out in Nigeria.O yeah the time is building up.
Is good to go back to history...I never knew obasanjo has done this worst
I applaud Fela's lawyer and Fela suing the government. Nigeria is in deep shit and will always be unless something is done. That country disgust me.
Who are you please
@@kefaslinnus6451 😂😂😂
Good job Femi but Africa is always Africa...Though Obasanjo appeared in court but he tactically evaded some key questions to his disfavour...
This man is a lion
Biased and shameful. Good job Falana
I just subscribe now I need to know more about our history please
Fela lives through all of us
Femi Falana has always played to the gallery to get the public’s adulation. OBJ has no business being on the stand for this case. The soldier or then ADC (now Emir) is alive. Why not call him to give evidence of what he allegedly said.
It’s sad to see Bola Ige working hard for OBJ only to end up being assassinated with or without this involvement of the same government.
