SAN Livy: My lord, we would start with our witness today.
The witness is now called out.
It’s Clarita Ogah
Clarita is now on the witness box.
INEC’s lawyer is now up
INEC: My lord, just this morning I was given a witness deposition of about 5 pages and I want to make it clear that I would not be able to carry out the cross examination today because we need to look through this and prepare.
‘Hmmmm.. Everyday story’
Olanipekun: We are in the same position, my lord, we won’t be able to carry out the cross examination, and we will take it tomorrow.
APC: My lord, I join my learned friends, and it would be unfair to cross examine with these mysterious documents that the petitioners have dumped on me this morning.
I would have said Wednesday, but let it not be like I’m being difficult.
LP: My lord, if I may, Sir, the word mischievous
APC cuts in, that’s not what I said, I said mysterious
LP: That’s not even right. Well, we can take her today for the evidence in chief, and we will do the cross examination by tomorrow
Justice Tsammani: That’s the issue I have with lawyers. Instead of you to just stand up and saying I agree for cross examination tomorrow, you’re speaking English. But you agree.
LP: Yes, my lord, I agree
APC: So, since we are not taking her today, Ikwueto can take her home
Ikwueto: I can’t take her home, you know my wife, and you always wish us well
The witness is now sworn in
Ikwueto: Please tell the court your full names
Witness: I am Clarita Ogar
Ikwueto: What do you do for a living
Witness: I’m a cloud engineer and architect
Ikwueto: Do you work with any organization
Witness: Yes, I currently work with Amazon Web Services Incorporated
Ikwueto: Amazon web services is also called AWS
Witness: Yes, it is
Ikwueto: You came to this court on a subpoena. Do you have it
Witness: Yes, I do
Ikwueto: My lord, we wish to tender this.
Justice Tsammani has now admitted the subpoena as evidence.
Ikwueto: You said you have a copy of your resume and your employment verification as a staff and employee of Amazon web services
Clarita: Yes, I have
Ikwueto: Are these copies
Clarita: Yes, it is
INEC: My lord, I don’t have a problem with the resume, but I object to the so-called employment letter from Amazon.
Olanipekun: We object to both letters, my lord, and we would give our reasons at the final address.
APC lawyer is still shining his eyes and looking at the documents.
APC lawyer with a funny voice: My lord, on behalf of the 4th respondent, I object to everything
‘The whole courtroom is laughing’
Clarita is still on the witness box looking undisturbed and pretty.
The judges are using a very long time to admit the resume and employment letter.
Ikwueto: My lord, let’s continue
Justice Tsammani: You tendered documents. Let’s look at it
Justice Tsammani: Okay, Ikwueto go on.
Ikwueto: Thank you, my lord. In paragraph 13 of your witness statement, you referred to a report showing the health status of the AWS Cloud Services in the 33 Regions where AWS has their servers.
Clarita: Yes, I did
Ikwueto: How many reports did you get
Clarita: There are 6
Ikwueto: My lord, yes, there are publicly available documents. North America, South America, Asia, Australia, Europe, and Africa
All the respondents have now objected to the documents.
The witness has now been stepped down, and cross examination would go on tomorrow (20/06/2023) for the witness.
LEGAL ANALYSIS: How Amazon Web Services (AWS) exposed INEC!
To break it down for you in a simpler and more understandable way, Amazon Web Service (AWS) is the Company owner or Provider of the Servers and BVAS Machines that Inec used to conduct the 2023 general elections.
Inec had about 3 or 4 Servers that they used for the conduct of the general elections few months ago. Those servers were installed at inec headquarters Abuja by AWS who was also responsible for the protection of those servers for hackers and internet fraudsters.
Whatever thing you do with those Amazon installed Computers in Inec office called the Servers, Amazon is monitoring you live worldwide from their office. Who does what, when, where and how, Amazon know everything 100% from their office. Who lodged into the server, what he did after log in and when he logged out, Amazon knows exactly. Every hidden or secret thing you do in those Servers, Amazon has all the clear records of everything from A to Z. All the Inec manipulations, wuruwuru and their fake stories, Amazon know everything.
Unfortunately for Inec, they only focused on the lies to tell Nigerians provided they justify the money they collected from Tinubu, they never cared or bothered about the consequences. The after effect, they never cared to know. They believed that everything will always be business as usual and told us to go to court.
Now, it happened that the Minister of Information, Mr Lai Mohammed shortly after Tinubu was declared winner travelled to USA and told the whole World that Hackers hacked into Inec Server and that was why the transmission of the Presidential results was halted. An indirect way of indicting AWS before the whole world. It didn’t end there, Inec back home in Nigeria defended themselves by jettisoning the reason proffered by Lai Mohammed and said that they had “Technical Glitches” with their Servers on the election day and that was why the Presidential election results couldn’t be uploaded at real time as they promised.
Peter Obi now Subpoenaed AWS to appear before the Court and testify how their Servers suddenly developed “Glitches” only at the very point of transmitting the Presidential elections. So with so much anger in them on the attempt of the Nigerian Government through Inec to tarnish their image worldwide, they appeared today with 33 Reports from 6 Regions of the world that they cover or host server services to prove to the whole world that there was nothing ever wrong with Inec Server before, during and after the election. To prove further that Inec officials purposely switched off or disconnected those Servers by themselves for reason best known to them not that the Servers had any issue as Inec deceitfully told Nigerians.
Both Inec and APC never saw it coming. They never believed Obi could go that far. As always, their only best defense for now is to always object and reject everything especially the one concerning the appearance and evidence of AWS today in court. Unfortunately to them as usual, AWS Official with her loads of evidences were admitted today in court despite objection objection flying everywhere. AWS appearance in Court today with their evidence is one of the highest expected evidence to nail Inec completely in this case. Obi has done his part in that regard. Left for the judges to decide at the end of the day.
