An online petition calling on President Muhammadu Buhari to resign for disobeying court orders to release some high-profile detainees has gathered over 600 signatories in just over 48 hours of being created.
The petition, created by lawyer, Carol Ajie, followed comment by Mr. Buhari that a former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, who is being prosecuted in relation to an alleged misappropriation of $2.1 billion; and the leader of separatist group, Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, despite court orders that they should be freed during last Wednesday Presidential media chat.
So far, the petition has collected 680 signatures out of its 1,000 person target.
“On May 29th 2015, a former Military Dictator, Muhammadu Buhari, sequel to a contested election in March 2015 against a sitting President in Nigeria, the first time in Africa, an incumbent handed power peaceably, smoothly, heroically to a political rival,” the petition posted on Change.org read.
“Whereupon Mr Buhari then took the Oath of Allegiance to protect the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 and the President’s Oath of office to discharge his duties faithfully, in accordance with the Constitution and the Laws of Nigeria.
“Within President Buhari’s first year in office, too soon after he took the revered Oaths, he and state agents acting under his supervision, now demonstrate total lack of respect for Court Orders and at his maiden media chat on Wednesday 30th Dec., instant, Mr President made puerile attempts to justify these breaches, he said inter alia that some persons his regime locked up in cells dehumanized against court orders, Nnamdi Kanu had travelled without his passports.
The petitioner argued that the government should have deported Mr. Kanu or release him after detaining him for a period of not more than seven days instead of holding him indefinitely as stipulated by the Immigration Act or the Administration of Criminal Justice Act.


“But under the Immigration Act, the President or the Minister may deport anyone who travels without a valid travel document or detain for a period not exceeding 7 days. In holding Mr. Kanu beyond the required period they have infracted on the Immigration Act, the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 and subsisting court orders.”
She further stated that Mr. Kanu’s agitation for the emergence of a breakaway country called the Republic of Biafra is in line with the right of self-determination as stipulated by the United Nations Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which Nigeria is a signatory to.
“With regard to issues of “self determination”, the crux of Nnamdi Kanu’s campaign of the Independent People of Biafra, IPOB, having communicated IPOB’s intent to all and the United Nations as required by UN Covenant on Civil and Political Rights ratified by Nigeria, that people of any community or group may wish to exercise the right of self-determination with a view to pursuing their economic, social and cultural development; aware that their dignity as human persons had deteriorated and been consciously degraded under the present dispensation, sadly appearing power inebriate.”
She, therefore, called on Mr. Buhari to resign as President if he is not prepared to obey court orders or risk being impeached from office.
The Presidency declined to respond to the petition.
An official said it would be inappropriate for the presidency to dignify such a petition with a response.
He however said, “The truth is there are fresh charges against the detainees,” the official said.
“They were simply rearrested after they were released folowing the filing of fresh charges against them. So we don’t know what people are talking about when they talk about the government disobeying court order.”

Demmocrats:



The same Nigerian legal system that cleared former Governor of Delta State James Ibori 170 corruption charges.


"On December 17, 2009, A Federal High Court sitting in Asaba, Delta State, discharged and acquitted Ibori of all 170 charges of corruption brought against him by EFCC"

The same Ibori that was cleared by Nigerian court was convicted by UK court on charges less than ten, Nigerian legal system that has gone to the grounds.

Nigerian legal system that has been designed for the poor to go to the prison but the rich to loot and impoverish the poor.


My Sai Buhari gives no fvck what they say.


Sai Buhari!!!

lagosrd:



Mr president be careful with these guys oooo. Call for negotiation and full explanation Na so the arab spring start oooo. Small small wahala will eventually turn to full blown ones. Who knows if its is one country or the other sponsoring this kind of thing. If boki haram no work. Biafra issue will work. Who knows where the problem is from. Just be more civil and obey the rule of law. Respect other arms of government. Nigeria is no man's personal property.

Then you dont know the kind of person ruling this country

You think it is by accident that Jonathan and PDP spent BILLIONS to stop him from getting to Power?

Buhari has obeyed all the laws of the land so far, this is why Dasuki is not dead yet.

That is is why Dokpesi is on bail.

God bless the BEST PRESIDENT NIGERIA HAS EVER HAD

yongnoble:


If you fill a fresh charge against someone, you'd have to get an arrest warrant from a court before arresting. So the DSS cannot claim that they are re-arresting someone on fresh charges almost immediately he was granted bail.

HARDDON:


Let them continue, soon he would get d full weight of his actions. Imagine a president that swore to defend d constitution blatantly flaunting court orders.

N for those of u saying they were re arrested , the court did, in it's foresight, also issued an order that no re arrest shld be made so that d accused can go prepare for their trails, yet some certificateless nomad wudnt listen.

Ride on, by the time others start following ur footsteps, it wud dawn on u.
By the time people sacked by court of appeal refuse to vacate their seats, n total law n order brakes down,it wud clear u

Greenbullet:
this is just too obvious @ PDP,an act of a frustrated party.no doubt.
