A human rights and good governance advocacy-led civil society, Make A Difference (MAD), has advised the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Tanko Muhammad, to hands-off cases involving the Department of State Security Services (DSS). In a statement by the Advocacy and Communication Director of MAD, Lemmy Ughegbe, the group said the CJN needs to rise to the challenge and give the directive nationwide to help protect the sanctity of the court.

MAD condemned the action of the DSS in forcing a judge of an Abuja Federal High Court to scamper to her chambers while it effected the re-arrest of the convener of #RevolutionNow protest, Omoyele Sowore and his co-defendant who were earlier granted bail by the court. Ughegbe said the action of the DSS in court on Friday surpassed the “draconianism of the darkest days of Nigeria’s military rule.”

“The gestapo invasion and desecration of the court by agents of the Department of State Security (DSS) is a sad and debasing testament of how deeply Nigeria and the people have retrogressed into darker ages worse even than the military era,” he said. “When law officers and security agents act with such barbaric impudence and insufferable arrogance as though they cannot be called to question for their action, one cannot but agree with those who say Nigeria is a zoo and we are hyenas, baboons and sundry animals in it.

“I challenge the Chief Justice of Nigeria to order the courts nationwide to suspend hearings of all cases brought by DSS until the deviant organisation purges itself of its sins and complies with all orders of courts issued against it.”

Stop talking to the CJN. I don’t understand why you guys keep forgetting Buhari planted this CJN.

Forget going to court. The court currently has no power of its own. It’s toothless right now.

So, you guys believe DSS is truly going berserk on its own? No , she’s acting based on orders from the slim shady.

Audio democracy.

We are both going together. I will lap you if need be. The country has finally gone to the dogs

Reporting to Tanko.. .. better use time on better things.

Guess it's not the same stooge CJN whose enthronement just like Buhari was based on illegality?

My country my country, I see why the average life span is reducing. To be frank, we have so many actors in Nigeria but not everyone able to featured in Nollywood.
Watching that film tag Court of Power, I handed off of the country

By CJN you mean buhari

you are MAD indeed the best solution should be all the judges should start boycotting court throughout Nigeria until all the earlier court judgment has been complied with

We are all seeing the bigger picture now with the whole CJN brouhaha months back.

Check Opay app na

He fit? He fitn't

These ugly development are the best receipt for a radical judicial revolt or boycotting of the courts in protest.If the NJC, NBA, Council of Legal Education and others didn't act, then no hope.

CJN appointed by who?

Before you dine with a devil, think thrice..

Yimu

Which kind rubbish is this
How will DSS agents even though they fear for their jobs carry out such an instruction irrespective of where it's coming from
How will they in the middle of a court room blatantly disregard the justice system of the whole Nigeria a democracy of her size.
Let me say it here that those bastards deserve to be shot at the gallows which kind barawo banza act be that. I'm not even blaming Buhari let's assume he is ignorant of all this and someone somewhere is pressing button. Isn't there any human being in the entire government the legislature the judiciary the army the civil service, DSS with common sense? Are all of them just zombified cowards or are they going to pretend like there is no fire on the mountain?

buhari did nothing wrong. he is just protecting sowore from drinking sniper like awolowo. we can't afford another legend of the sniper

Ok

There should be proper separation of power.
Some Executive agencies are going overboard these days.
