I remain adamant that Falana is a very useless man ..like the typical coward he is instead of blaming Buhari who is responsible for all this he has instead chosen a softer target in the person of Osinbanjo . Why is Falana always scared of mentioning Buharis name ? Under Jonathan did you ever here Falana blame the VP Sambo? Hell no they always blame Jonathan even for problems caused by governors because they saw Jonathan as a soft target .. Falana leave Osinbanjo out of this he has tried his best , Osinbanjo is yet to recover from the last time he interfered and sacked the DSS boss andBuhari has been silently punishing him since then ..
God bless you My brother, during the time of OBJ no one call Atiku to interfere in any issue, during the Time of Yaradua no one Call GEJ, likewise during the Time of GEJ no one Call sambo. but we are quick to call Osinbajo because he is a prof and much is expected from him than the previous VP. Thank you

Falana can say and he is free to say what ever he wants. But the lawyers to be sanctioned here is the lawyer who happens to be the number one law officer and has failed woefully to perform his functions. Am talking about no other person than the attorney general of the federation. The guy has failed the constitution woefully

Sowore is gaining popularity as well as public sympathy both locally and internationally. This would greatly boost his image and in the future help his political dreams.

The only way Buhari can stop him is to kill him and if he dares to do that, there would be a very strong revolution Buhari would not know what hit him.

The biggest winner here in the long run is Sowore.

Ordinarily buhari a crude military dictator cannot outlive a democratic govt guided by the rule of law except there are sell outs and deceitful beings such as osibanjo, Keyamo and Co who pretend to be good people.

They have provided him the skills to overcome the norms of the judiciary thereby aiding him in raping democracy and destroying the rule of law but judgement awaits them.

We hear him and his sycophants say he will take over from buhari but that will only happen if God stops to exist.

No. This is not the solution.

We, Nigerians, are the solution.

If Nigerians are aware of their rights, by now, Nigeria would be on fire because of this. The streets of Abuja would have been flooded with protesters because our collective rights have been raped by those we entrust to protect us. No chief of army staff or police boss would quell legitimate protests or kill protesters if the number is overwhelming. It is also an international crime. Buhari would have been forced to fire the DSS boss, like Osinbajo did when our national assembly was desecrated by the DSS. He would have been forced to address the nation and plead for calm.

Until Nigerians get fed up and enforce their rights, this nonsense would continue to play out. Freedom and liberation from oppression comes with a price. We either chose to pay it or we chose to accept the norm. It is Sowore today, who might it be tomorrow?
it was Kanu and Dasuki yesterday. sowore should enjoy his fame alone. he fought to remove a Democrat to enthrone a tyrant

Ade Adesomoju, Abuja

Human rights lawyer, Mr Femi Falana (SAN), who leads Mr Omoyele Sowore’s defence team, has asked the Nigerian Bar Association to take disciplinary actions against lawyers in President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet over what he described as desecration of the court with Sowore’s rearrest at the Federal High Court in Abuja, causing a disruption of court proceedings.

He said his legal team would meet on Saturday to determine the next line of action.

He said there were 10 lawyers with four of them Senior Advocates of Nigeria, who ought to live up to their oath to defend the Constitution and other laws of the country, by ensuring that the rule of law was observed by the government.

The SANs in the cabinet are Vice President Yemi Osinbajon (SAN), Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami; Minister of State for Labour, Mr Festus Keyamo; and Minister of Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola.

He said, “Even though President Muhammadu Buhari has a duty to caution the Department of State Services, the blame of the desecration of the court today (Friday) rests squarely on lawyers in government, who are under a duty to ensure that the rule of law is observed.

He said, “Even though President Muhammadu Buhari has a duty to caution the Department of State Services, the blame of the desecration of the court today (Friday) rests squarely on lawyers in government, who are under a duty to ensure that the rule of law is observed.

“They have all taken the oath to respect the Constitution and other laws of the country. That Constitution guarantees the independence and impartiality of the courts.

“They therefore cannot sit in a cabinet under a regime that terrorises the courts and subverts the rule of law.

“It is a matter the Nigerian Bar Association should take up against the lawyers in the cabinet by instituting disciplinary proceedings against them.”

Faulting the arrest of his client, he described it as contemptuous.

He also noted that it was not backed by any arrest warrant or detention order of court.

He said, “There is no warrant of arrest, there is no detention order. What the DSS did today was the height of contempt of court.

“Nobody is above the law. You either abolish the courts or allow them to function effectively.

“This is a situation where the DSS operatives invaded the court and forced the judge to adjourn proceedings; they chased the judge out of her court, disrupted the proceedings and forced the judge to adjourn all cases.

“These are manifestations of fascism, which cannot be accepted in any civilised society. This has never happened in Nigeria where you take over a court forcefully in order to arrest an unarmed citizen.

“You remember that it was the illegal invasion of the National Assembly by masked DSS men that led to the dismissal of the former DG, DSS, by this government.

“So for the same barbaric conduct to occur again is unacceptable. This is a regime that parades 10 senior lawyers, including four Senior Advocates of Nigeria.”

Asked if he had been informed of any reason why his client was rearrested or whether he was going to be freshly, he said “no”

This was the Words of Our Former President in 2004, and it seems his words or should I say Prophecy has come to pass.

If not for anything President Jonathan gave us freedom of speech! Even Sowore can testify of that.

You read my exact thoughts.
After emboldening Buhari by being among the 13 senior advocates who defended Buhari on his audio certificate,Falana is now trying to rehabilitate his human rights crusader credentials with Sowore,whilst carefully leaving out Buhari's name.
