Hey, wuss brain this is a court ruling, it's part of a democratic process, not some govt ruling.

Haven't they been doing that for ages until recently when the issue was taken to court for validation? Democratic process after 200 years! Lol

maasoap:


So, in summary, what is your point? More like good for them, not good for us? Hypocrite

You are dumb

Debaiz:


Is calling for anarchy same thing as disagreement with govt?
Is planning to bundle out an elected govt same thing as disagreement with govt?
Is threatening the security outfit of a country same thing as disagreement with govt?
Is coup planning disagreement with govt?

Aisha Yesufu, Fani kayode, Deji Adeyanju, even Atiku have all disagreed with the govt at one point or Another what have they not being arrested?

Don’t let us rationalize illegality because we don’t like a govt.

Sowore’s plan was simply a call to anarchy. Whether he has the capacity or not, No country will fold its arms and wait to find out if someone has the capacity to distabilze it’s national security.

And when it comes to National Security, the saner clime just laid down the gauntlet —Nothing like due process in preserving national security—.

I thought DSS were going to fold their arms and watch helplessly in the name of democracy and abuse of rights and freedom as the man was gearing up for anarchy and civil unrest. The first person to start civil war last time eventually ran away. The other one that followed in his footsteps eventually ran away too. This one too has a valid US passport, he could have run away too by now leaving unrest he might have caused behind

Just so you know, your hypocrisy stinks to heaven.

First and foremost, Protests to ensure the resignation of government are not and cannot be illegal. They are part and parcel of the Democratic process. Have you seen anybody arrested in the US for participating in the "not my President" Protests? Trying to say Sowore tried to illegally overthrow the government is simply being mischevious.

Secondly even if Sowore's intention was treasonable, which is clearly not,he still should not be charged with treason as he did not take any covert step to achieve a treasonable action. Having the "potential" to commit a crime can never be a basis to convict one of a crime.

In your post on what constitutes treason in the USA, I saw use of "Force or Violence" clearly stated there. Protests are not classified as use of Force under Nigerian laws or the laws of any Democratic society sef. So that provision if imported to Nigeria cannot apply to Sowore's case.
Lastly, even if Sowore violated his bail terms,it is not for the DSS to determine and rearrest him. The DSS ought to take it to the courts to determine and revoke his bail after which he can be rearrested. That is basic law that you supporters of Buhari have refused to acknowledge because of your brain dead support for Buhari.

Go back and read or watch as he threatened Nigeria with revolution comparable to Puerto Rico, Algeria, Sudan Cuba etc. which all share a common aim of overthrowing the government.

Sowore was also very clear when said his revolution would be different from mere protests; with the aim of bundling Buhari out of office (does that sound like ensuring the president's resignation?) - only you seem to think otherwise.

Note that in a democratic system such as in Nigeria, the only legitimate way to choose or change a government is through the ballot box; Sowore had that opportunity and woefully failed.

He therefore cannot use the backdoor to achieve the same purpose through a purported revolution - whether peaceful or otherwise.

When it comes to national security, by the time you are allowed to carry out your threat, it's already too late; no intelligence or law enforcement agency would wait for that to happen; in fact you'd be promptly arrested once sufficient cause is established - pre-emptive strike/action is a doctrine of national security and crime prevention.

Go to court and listen to how ppl are charged with intent to commit various crimes, ranging from murder, subversion of justice etc.

Treasonable crimes according to the Nigerian constitution:
(1) Whoever intends -

(a) To remove otherwise than by constitutional means during his term or office-

(i) The President of the Federal Republic; or

(ii) The Governor of any State of the Federal Republic;

Lastly, there is no law or existing court order stopping the DSS from further arresting Sowore on fresh new charges - get this clear and stop confusing the issue.
