State House Press Release

Law Enforcement Agencies Should Be Allowed To Do Their Work – Presidency

The Presidency has taken note of the orchestrated campaign against President Muhammadu Buhari each time a Very Important Person (VIP) is invited by the law enforcement agencies, in the discharge of their legitimate duties and functions. The law of the land is intended for all, not for the poor or those at the lowest rungs of the social ladder. It is odd, strange and bizarre that while ordinary citizens can be called up to answer questions or be interrogated, the VIP cannot be questioned without the annoying insinuations of partisanship, persecution or outright politicization.

This country cannot achieve development in peace when important cases are viewed through a political prism and the law is considered as being applicable to some, and not applicable to others. The workings of law enforcement agencies are set out in the constitution and the laws of the country. If they worked at the discretion of past presidents, who decided who to question and who to detain, Nigerians should get used to the fact that this President is different. President Buhari does not and will not influence or interfere with cases. The constitution clearly directs law enforcement agencies to promptly report and investigate any actual or potential infringement of the law and also initiate proceedings against all those involved. This President is not the one who directs them on what to do.

President Buhari does not stand in the way of law enforcement either. Under our constitution, he has no powers to stop the investigation of anyone or institution. When they are set to investigate anything and anyone, the best friend of the law is the one who lets them do their work. The President’s constant refrain is that he will not tolerate any form of illegality including corruption and the law enforcement agencies have been given complete freedom to identify and bring all culprits to justice. His instructions to them are very clear: Anyone with a case to answer or found guilty should not be spared. Accused persons should approach the courts to plead their innocence rather than going to the public to plead persecution.

The country is better served when the law enforcement agencies are allowed to do their work and we must stop the actors of this dangerous game of politicizing law enforcement.

Garbage Shehu should also tell us why buharig does not respect court rulings. Is he above the law?

BMC had better advice buharig to start tarring the roads leading to daura cos his bony face will longer be tolerated in abuja come 2019.

Thanks for sharing

Are you aware that it seems the Presidency ignores court rulings?

Thanks again

Not when EFCC boss Magu wears Buhari reelection pin on his chest.

Anyone with a case to answer or found guilty should not be spared.

Not when Abba Kyari, Ayo Oke, Lawal Babachir, Abdulrashid Maina, Okoi Obono Obla, Omo-Agege, Kemi
Adeosun & any form of executive corruption is concerned.

"All animals are equal but some animal are more equal than others"

Very true and I agree totally to that..

But it should also extend to executive officers like our minister with forged NYSC certificate .......

Who is the presidency?

A very ironical statement.


Who is deceiving who here

This particular thread has been making fp since last week

Story for d gods

Let them do their work o

When Barber Shehu talks, does he make sense? So i wonder nigerians worry themselves. The same presidency that doesnt allow security agencies be neutral and unbiased.

Ordinary court bail, they cant obey. They makes stupid excuses for disregarding rule of law. They claim its in the interest of the nation but when its in their own interest

Which work are they doing

BUHARI THE WITCH HUNTER.
WITCH HUNTING THE OPPOSITION.
BUHARI THE HERO AND SAVIOUR OF THE COWS.
Buhari promoted the present IG of police who was Kano state commissioner of police to the rank of IG in 2016 after the guy helped Buhari pulled over 2million vote in 2015.
OVER 30 DIG AND AIG WERE RETIRED BEFORE GETTING TO THAT POSITION
MY PEOPLE IS THIS NOT CORRUPTION?

Work of protecting killer herdsmen.

Do work of injustice? Nonsense!

Allow them to arrest Abba Kyari for Mtn bribe, Adeosun for forged documents, and people around mr President making a kill on appointments and contracts. Arrest miyetti leaders too.

Walahi, this government are full of clowns

Petition the police, take them to court or stop typing from an ignorant point of view.

"All animals are equal but some animal are more equal than others"

When big men are being questioned by the law enforcement agencies, the same foolish, poor, wrecked, ignorant, brain dead, brainwashed masses/people will fight against bringing these people to book.

Are the citizens (ordinary) cursed to be foolish or what?

If you are clean, the court will free you and you will walk free, so why all these rubbish and noise when it comes to big names?

Same law enforcement guys who are being slaughtered daily in Sambisa forest because you have refused to launch an all out offensive against them abi. He keeps dashing them money in the name of ransome and denies paying.

The military is good as we could see from the onslaught against boko in the final days of Jonathan. Give these boys a fighting chance is all I say

IPOB PIGS THINK OTHER WISE
GOD BLESS PMB
NO PIG CAN STOP MR PRESIDENT
