Protesting Lawyers Shut Down Abuja Over SSS' s Refusal To Obey Court Orders. by TheLawTheLegal: 4:02pm On Oct 31, 2016
Thousands of lawyers have stormed the streets of Abuja, in protest of the alleged continued disobedience of court orders by the State Security Service, SSS.


The lawyers, supported by members of the civil society community, have stormed the Federal High Court Headquarters in Maitama, the Attorney General’s office,
National Human Rights Commission.

They are currently heading to the Three
Arms Zone, which hosts the Aso Rock
presidential villa, Supreme Court and the
National Assembly, a witness said.

The lawyers say judges must not step down from cases involving the SSS as that would amount to victory for tyranny and intimidation.

They are also demanding that all judiciary workers to go on strike until the SSS obeys all pending judgements and Orders.

The Roads leading to Aso Rock have been barricaded and there is palpable tension as the protesters meet heavy resistance from security agents who are blocking the
protesters who are insisting on marching
into Aso Rock,” a witness told PREMIUM TIMES.


The standoff is happening on the Road
leading to the Three Arms Zone. The SSS has been accused of disobeying several court orders since 2015. The most notable cases involve the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, and the leader of the pro-Biafra group, Nnamdi
Kanu.

Some judges have recently stood down from cases involving the SSS, following the arrest seven senior judges on allegation of corruption.

More details later.

If this story is true, then I expect APC supporters to call for the arrest of the protesting Lawyers as they aid their dullardarian of Daura to become a dictator
