It's not peculiar to kano. Even in the south there are extremists too who don't obey court order

omohayek:
That anyone should excuse such arrogant lawlessness in the name of "morality" shows just how little comprehension many Nigerians have of how a nation of laws is supposed to operate.

AmDayo:
They used paid apologists, unpaid apologists and gullible people to counter those who challenge the "illegal law".

GIdiata:
what's the need of charging someone to court if you know you won't obey a court order that's Against your wish?

The Nigeria Police Force has failed to release atheist Mubarak Bala, despite an order of the Federal High Court mandating the Inspector-General of Police to release him.

Bala, who is also the President of the Nigerian Humanist Association, was arrested for allegedly blaspheming Prophet Mohammed in a Facebook post in April.

A lawyer, S. S. Umar, subsequently petitioned the Commissioner of Police in Kano State, demanding Bala's arrest. They arrested Bala in Kaduna State and transferred him to Kano where he has remained since April 28, 2020.

Bala's lawyers filed a fundamental human rights suit before Justice Inyang Ekwo of a Federal High Court in Abuja. The court on December 21, 2020, ordered Bala's immediate release.

However, it was learnt that Bala spent Christmas and Boxing Day in prison and might spend the New Year in detention if the court order was not complied with by Thursday.

Speaking with The PUNCH on Tuesday, Bala's lawyer, Mr James Ibor, said the police had no intention of obeying the court order. 

Ibor said, "A court of law gave an order which was served on the police but the police have refused to comply.

"We have written to the police, we have made calls, some embassies have reached out. We ensured that the order was given to them because they didn't come to court. The court served the police headquarters and we have evidence of the service.

"They have not filed any notice of appeal. It is not even judgment they can appeal. It is a final ruling because the court over-indulged them. The matter was consistently adjourned at their instance; they didn't file anything; they just stopped coming to court. The IGP didn't come despite the processes served on him." 

According to affidavits, the police in Kano State denied Bala access to his lawyers for several months. Amid protests from several human rights organisations including Amnesty International, the police filed a First Information Report before a magistrate court in No Man's Land, Kano, accusing Bala of breaching the Cyber Crime Act to obtain a remand order.

However, no date was given for arraignment, thereby allowing the cops to hold him for months before transferring him to a correctional centre in Kano.

Attempts to speak with the Public Relations Officer in Kano State, Haruna Abdullahi, proved abortive as his phone was off while the Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, did not respond to calls.

What a clown. He was only interested in harvesting the trees in that forest for himself.

WHERE ARE AFRICA'S BILLIONS?

By Transparency international

This report makes it very clear that corruption is an INTERNATIONAL RACKET, and that only by addressing both LOCAL and INTERNATIONAL operators of this racket can Africa rid itself of corruption.

In other words, focusing SOLELY on local operators will change NOTHING.

rosskiti:
The west always send their houseboys like ''blue3k'' and ''Ruud vanisteroy'' to you, and their job is to bamboozle you into thinking that the problem of Nigeria is really just down to what the local leaders do, which is a HUMUNGOUS LIE.

Nairalandian:
So Nigeria has conspiracy theorists

RevDesm0ndJuju:
Buhari has asked GAVI to focus their 40milliom vaccine adminstration in the south.

This is same Buhari that told world Bank to focus their charity projects in the north and has concentrated all appointments and projects by his govt on the north.

Now why would khalifar Buhari ask Bill Gates to focus his poison vaccines on the south?

Yeye dey smell.

RevDesm0ndJuju:
Fulani nation are sensitizing their people to avoid at all cost getting the vaccines if they are in the south. The fulani radio station has begun airing this as I post.

rosskiti:
You're back!

Mr 'Mumu'. Foreign impostor and SATAN pretending to be a Nigerian?

Worthless Animal.

Face your own country and leave Nigeria alone, you CROOKED IMPOSTOR and DECEIVER.

MyGeneration:
Theres no figure that I will bring up that money can't be borrowed to fix, we are talking about something that would benefit not just Nigeria, but black people and u are talking about money.

This plan can end wars and post european colonial power in Africa

MyGeneration:
Everything started from somewhere

MyGeneration:
U can't compare korea and africa.

Their money is much higher than ours that's what makes the figure look big, if they do it in naira value it will be lesser

MyGeneration:
Apart from the cost what other problem does it come with?

We can always borrow to fix it so that's not a problem

MyGeneration:
It would benefit the SS and SW because the ports would have more capacity because u will have more imports.

It would benefit the SE so much.

The benefits to the north is much too.

Lets all support this, with time we would head towards uniting Benin republic too and then togo

MyGeneration:
It won't happen immediately it would be in phase.

Niger already has people in their labour force too

MyGeneration:
We are not annexing anybody the both governments can agree and a referendum held in Niger republic

MyGeneration:
It's going to happen oneday it's just a matter of time and there's nothing u can do abt it

RuudVanNisteroy:

rosskiti:
WHERE ARE YOU FROM??

Stop dodging the question.

Who are you and where are you from?

It's a very simple question.

Blue3k:
Why are your leaders worthless?

rosskiti:
WHERE ARE YOU FROM AND WHO SENT YOU HERE?

WHY WERE YOU PRETENDING TO BE ONE OF US?

rosskiti:
