An Abuja based Lawyer and Human Rights Activist, had written an open letter to the APC National Chairman, Chief John Oyegun, warning him of the possible unpalatable consequences of the continued detention of the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanuin DSS custody despite a subsisting Order of the Federal High Court for his UNCODITIONAL release.

In the letter obtained by odogwublog, Barrister Johnmary Chukwukasi Jideobi, noted that "In a constitutional democracy such as ours where the Constitution reigns supreme, the solemn pronouncement of the Court on any issue submitted for its adjudication is final and must command the unquestionable obedience of all parties to the suit who are bound by such pronouncement.".

The Lawyer further cautioned that " Anything contrariwise represents invitation to anarchy, negates the Rule of Law, challenges entrenched democratic traditions and encyclopaedically captures impunity." On the image burden Kanu's continued detention is creating for the APC, the Lawyer reminded Oyegun that "Power being transient, we must not forget that the Nigerian populace are taking stocks and in the evening of this Administration's tenure, Nigerians will necessarily assess the performance of your great party and one of the cardinal basis of such critical assessment is respect for the Rule of Law."

On the need for the Rule of Law to cultivated and the preservation of the integrity of the Judiciary, the Lawyer admonished that "Our democracy can only keep us if we keep our democracy. Our laws can only keep us if we keep our laws. History and experience have shown that anybody, no matter how highly placed, might be in need of the Court's protection tomorrow. We must therefore guard the sacred institution of the Judiciary very jealously."

See rat forming Elephant

I don't see how this is an issue. there's nothing wrong in the continuous detention of Nnamdi kanu.

why??

the Federal High Court issued an order for the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu on the grounds that NO charges had been made against him yet. Yes, no order from the Federal High Court should be flouted. Nnamdi Kanu from what we all know was already being released before fresh charges were held against him. Granting him bail when charges of such magnitude as "treasonable felony" was held would've been tantamount to cluelessness because the least penalty for treasonable felony in any country is life imprisonment.

What this means is that the Federal govt was being lenient and willing to cooperate if only he succumbed to their terms, i.e to put a halt to the Biafra issue. But since he he wasn't ready to cooperate, they decided to do "their job".

The Hausa Fulani Taliban in power knows nothing about democracy. He dethroned a democratically elected government yet Nigerians stupidly think this leopard will change the indelible spot of lack of respect to rule of law.

. And you have made sense for ur mind? You knw law more than lawyers and you are this jobless and raggy. Smh!!!

This's a semi-military government by all indications. I've never heard of such a government so desperate to control the media and free speech. A government that does not obey court rulings. We're back to military rule!
