The ECOWAS Court of Justice has served hearing notice on the Buhari government in the suit filed by SERAP and 176 Nigerians on the unlawful suspension of Twitter.

The suit is fixed for 22 June 2021 for the hearing of application for interim orders, SERAP said on Twitter on Monday night.

“Having been duly served, President Buhari should immediately rescind the suspension of Twitter, pending the hearing of the application, for the sake of the integrity and sanctity of the court, the rule of law, and Nigeria’s leadership role in the ECOWAS sub-region”, SERAP added in the update on the case.

The case was filed last week to challenge President Muhammadu Buhari’s ban on the micro-blogging social media platform.

Nigeria’s leading human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana is representing the 177 plaintiffs.

They sued Buhari for criminalisation of Nigerians and other people using Twitter, and the escalating repression of human rights, particularly the rights to freedom of expression, access to information, and media freedom in the country.”

In the suit No ECW/CCJ/APP/23/21 filed 8 June before the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice in Abuja, SERAP and the concerned Nigerians are seeking: “An order of interim injunction restraining the Federal Government from implementing its suspension of Twitter in Nigeria.

The 177 Nigerians also seek a stay order on government from subjecting anyone including media houses, broadcast stations using Twitter in Nigeria, to harassment, intimidation, arrest and criminal prosecution, pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit.”

In the suit , the Plaintiffs contend that “if this application is not urgently granted, the Federal Government will continue to arbitrarily suspend Twitter and threaten to impose criminal and other sanctions on Nigerians, telecommunication companies, media houses, broadcast stations and other people using Twitter in Nigeria, the perpetual order sought in this suit might be rendered nugatory.”

While is it reasonable to just ask to endure this administration for the remaining part of their tenure, the killing in the land is enough to call for continous screaming

Same Buhari whose government does not obey the ECOWAS court judgements but went to borrow food grain from same ECOWAS food bank?

Buhari is just a notoriously lawless tyrant.He have no regard for the rule of law.Remember he once sought for absolute powers but was rejected by the then Saraki-led senate.Let see whether he will also ban ECOWAS court or spurn its summons.

Twitter is suddenly a greater issue than Insecurity, unemployment and police brutality.

People won’t care until their money source gets affected! Lol!

If we could allow Ecowas to serve Buhari for twitter suspension, why can’t we do the same for the numerous insecurity facing Nigeria ranging from bokoharam and banditry in the north? To herdsmen issues in the south?

What about the issues of police brutality and economy dilapidation? Dollar to naira was 360 last year but it is presently dingling around 512 today!

WHY IS TWITTER BANNING CURRENTLY EVERYBODY HEADACHE? Twitter is a private organization and i believe Twitter should be the one negotiating or doing the sueing if they feel they’re unjust!

I even feel the banning should have spurred a NIGERIAN Or seun Osewa to have reposition Nairaland to Twitter position in Nigeria, the power twitter is wielding is too much and I believe a tech guy can harness that to develop a competition for the Nigeria market, apart from Nairaland, what else do we have?

Nigerians baffle me, they will rather leave the important problems and focus on the unnecessary ones and that’s basically because most people especially the influencers makes money from it (untaxable money)

Let’s use same ENERGY to convince ECOWAS to SUE this government for the numerous atrocities (if we feel they’ve commited any though)

End Buhari to save lives.

Too bad there is not much ECOWAS can do to Nigeria.
Imagine Nigeria threatening to pull out of ECOWAS, who do you think will suffer more?

Scrap is doing this for grants.

Falana is one of the most greedy and criminal minded lawyer in Nigeria.

He complains of power, then sues government on behalf of dodgy company for phony contract awarded by the government of OBJ which never passed through FEC but somehow the ministry gave them contract paper. This has effectively stopped the mambila power project and night lead to the award of $400m for such fraud.
