Our democracy in Nigeria has daily been reduced by
the callous and preposterous acts of Our security
agencies which I unconditionally condemn ,, acting
under the whims and caprices of the Executive not
minding the implications to their integrity and PR ..
Just recently it was the Gestapo styled attack on the
judiciary that should supposedly be independent by
the DSS ,, citing corruption and inability of the NJC to
take disciplinary action on alleged corrupt Judged as
their reason for visiting odium on the proud name of
our great nation ..
Another news broke out with the brutal handling and
arrest of 14 Unilag students who happen to be
members of the SUG .. The police where said to have
been tipped off by the University's management as
the students gathered to discuss the way forward as
to their next line of action since the University failed
to show up in Court which inadvertently has the
implication of denying the rusticated SUG executives
the opportunity to have appealed to the Court to
grant them leave to take part in their Simesta exams
pending the determination of the matter ..
This is a serious breach as the students numerous
rights of the students have been breached to
mention a few ( Right to Association ,, Personal
Liberty ,, Dignity of Human Person ,, then the Tort of
Battery ,, False imprisonment etc )) can also be
raised .. Right now the way and manner the security
agencies interfere in common civil matters is
unacceptable and unpalatable ,, not even giving
recourse to due process or their Constitutionalism .. I
fear that if nothing is done to remedy this situation ,,
other Universities in Nigeria will also toe the line of
the Great Unilag which has shown lately that they are
no respecter of Human Rights ,, treating students put
in their care with impunity .. I pray same doesn't
happen in my dear institution #Unical and I pray the
Government intervenes by putting an end to this
unholy and unconstitutional interference or else they
slam the Police and get some large chunks from
Punitive damages ,, I refer Us to Barr Joe Etene V
Nigerian Navy ,, they you join all and sundry ..
#GodBlessNigeria..
