Campaigns

Peace Campaign

It is a common phenomenon in Africa, that war and struggle for democratic government is now the order of the day; a typical example is Ivory Coast and Egypt. This is not good for any country expecting a better future, our countries are supposed to be peaceful and coexist with each other, this is what the campaign is all about.

We shall carry out this by organizing seminars, workshop, debates and talk-shows; in collaboration with experts and in conjunctions with stake holders and other organizations concerned with the propagation of peace in Africa.

We shall use all available medium and avenue to carry out this campaign like electronic media, print media, mass/group campaign etc.

Campaign Against Corruption

The greatest calamity that has ever affected most African countries, the welfare of their citizens are abandoned, and they careless about them as a result of corruption, which at the end leads to the collapse of infrastructure, economic crisis, unemployment and even war.

The centre for peace and conflict management in Africa shall join the campaign against corruption not only in Africa but around the world by collaborating with the existing interested groups as well as initiating new moves and strategies in fighting corruption.

Projects

Hope for the Hopeless Project (HHP)

There are quite a number of prison inmates who have been in prison for so many years and have not been tried because they cannot afford legal services. This has been a major problem which these inmates or their relatives cannot solve. Some of these inmates have spent more than the term of the punishment of the offence they are accused of in the prison, while some if tried could be found innocent and lack of their trail means taking an undeserved punishment for years.

Budget

We have estimated the sum of N500,000.00 (Five Hundred Thousand Naira only) for the cost of the defence of each inmate.

Save Africa Project (SAP)

The stench of poverty which pervades our body polity and the overwhelming sense of inferiority and injustice felt by the poor and downtrodden, no doubt, have culminated into mass migration of Africans to seek greener pastures in Asia, Europe, etc, and the search for foreign aid, is demeaning of the African image and speaks volume of the African child’s lack of self-esteem and creative and critical thinking.

Budget

We have equally estimated the sum of N1,000,000.00 (One Million Naira only) per community for SAP.

Towards Advancing Peace (TAP)

The spate of killings and loss of properties in Nigeria resulting from insurgency, tribal disharmony and religious extremism, which are now creeping up the walls of the nation, is becoming alarming and of great concern to the country and the world at large. This is more saddening giving their obvious overwhelming nature on the security operatives, with the complex geographical setting is examined. Amongst other reasons, it is observed that these can be traced to a lot of loopholes which the SAP project seeks to block. 

Budget

The sum of N1,000,000.00 (One Million Naira only) is also estimated per community for TAP.

Success Stories

This case involved a 13-year-old girl who was sentenced to death and was on death row for several years. Our counsel/ CEO was the lead counsel who handled the matter for Avocat San frontires and obtained judgment in her favor and she is now free.

Mimuna Abdulmumimi v Federal Republic of Nigeria

(ECW/CCJ/APP/15/13)

The two applicants in this case have been on death row for more than 23 years and the second applicant is already paralyzed. In this case the trial and conviction of the applicants by the armed forces Tribunal was held to be in great violation of Article 7 of the African Charter of Human and People’s Rights; and that Nigeria was in violation of her International obligations. The court thereafter ordered the immediate release of the applicants.

Gabriel Inyang v Federal Republic of Nigeria

(ECW/CCJ/APP/03/18)

The subject matter is in respect of a man who has been on the death row for more than 20 years. His death warrant was signed, and he was taken to the gallows. His colleagues were executed, but he was returned back to the prison because the gallows was not prepared for his mode of execution. Our counsel/ CEO was the lead counsel who handled the matter for Avocat San frontires and obtained judgment in his favor. We got restraining Order, stopping the planned execution and finally won the case. Thankgod is now a free man.
