An-Abuja based Lawyer has forwarded a strongly-worded Letter to the National President of the Nigerian Bar Association over the intimidation of the Nigerian Judiciary and subversion of the Nigerian Constitution by President Muhammadu Buhari, calling on the National Leadership of the NBA to rise and condemn impunity. Barrister Johnmary C. Jideobi frowned on the insistence of President Buhari that MR. NNAMDI KANU and DASUKI will remain in detention despite valid Orders of the Courts to the contrary. The Letter is titled:

"INTIMIDATION OF THE NIGERIAN JUDICIARY, CONTEMPT OF THE FEDERAL HIGH COURT, AND SUBVERSION OF SECTION 287(3) OF THE AMENDED 1999 CONSTITUTION OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA BY PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI AND THE IMPERATIVE OF THE LEADERSHIP OF THE NIGERIAN BAR TO RISE UP AND CONDEMN IMPUNITY"

Arguing that the doctrine of separation of power does not allow President Buhari to overrule the Courts on who should be granted bail, the Lawyer wrote " There is no gainsaying the fact that anarchy looms large on the horizon when one Branch of the Government starts making unholy encroachments into the sacred province of the other. Consistent with the foregoing, our Constitution has painstakingly delineated the parameters and scope of the powers of the tripartite arms of government in its Sections 4, 5, and 6.

Arguing that the Constitution did not reserve any role for the Nigerian President when issues of bail are considered, the Lawyer wrote:

"Our founding Fathers and framers of our Constitution, in their profound wisdom, never contemplated any role to be played by the President of Nigeria when the issue before the Court is whether the bail application of an accused person is meritorious or lacking in merit. This sacred duty is wholly at the discretion of the Court which is exercisable within the orbit of well-circumscribed and neatly-defined consecrated principles of law as frequently nourished and expounded by the Nigerian Supreme Court especially in the well-known and often-cited case of BAMAIYI V. THE STATE."
The Lawyer argued that "After all, the hallmark of our Criminal Justice is the Constitutional safeguard of presumption of innocence."
Advising President Buhari on what to do in the circumstances, the Lawyer wrote "Where therefor, for whatever reason, Mr. President forms the view that an Order of Court is unsatisfactory, the only Constitutionally-recognized remedy is an appeal to invite a higher Court to review the decision of the trial Court." Warning of dangerous consequences if the President fails to do otherwise, the Lawyer wrote:

"If therefore Mr. President decides to interfere with the civil liberty of citizens in the face of Sacred Court Order to the contrary, Mr. President is inviting anarchy, intimidating the Judiciary and subverting the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which is the fons et origo and the most sacred document binding the entire nation. That is indeed bad for democracy since such defiance does not foster the rule of law, which is the life blood of democracy, rather the rule of man which is an anathema in a modern civilized state. This is what it has crystallized to. To find otherwise will certainly be eyewash." The Lawyer therefore called on the National Leadership of the NBA not not to "look the other way when the organic law of the land is suffering indignity in the hands of the President of our Nation." as "That would be one indifference rather too many."

Citing Section 287 (3) of the Constitution, the Lawyer claims that President Buhari and all other authorities are under a Constitutional duty to enforce all the Orders of the Courts established by the Constitution. Advising President Buhari to toe the path of Constitutionality, the Lawyer added: "Since Section 287(3) is part of our Constitution, Mr. President should do well to respect the proclamation of Section 1(1) of the amended 1999 Constitution which eloquently declares that: “This Constitution is supreme and its provisions shall have binding force on the authorities and persons throughout the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

The Lawyer equally expressed his support for the war against corruption. According to him: "I wholeheartedly support the fight against this monster called corruption which has been threatening our economy. All those found guilty must serve the consequences ordained by our laws so that we can end impunity."

He was however quick to caution that: "All the fights must be within the ambit of the law since fighting impunity with impunity could be counter-productive and bungle the fight.

Nnamdi Kanu brought this calamity upon himself. PMB will take his case more serious than Dasuki.
Nnamdi KANU has lost weight and he is looking darker in complexion thanks to SSS.

Buhari be wise avoid the avoidable.

After writing NBA write NFL EPL UEFA FIFA Unesco
And all the abbreviations you can remember in the world, nothing would stop Nnamdi Kanu from eating that constitutional watery beans

Nnamdi Kanu committed treason and should be treated as an enemy combatant

No one would threaten the security of people in the country and be allowed free.

If you're threatening to kill ppl in the country only an irresponsible govt would let him free
