A popular Nigerian lawyer and rights activist was detained overnight on Wednesday, January 14, 2015 for allegedly addressing President Muhammadu Buhari in a disrespectful way.

Emeka Ugwuonye, Esquire, Group Founder/Principal Administrator of Due Process Advocates (DPA), was stopped by operatives of the Department of State Service (DSS) upon arrival at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos.

“They told me they would have to hear from Abuja (DSS Headquarters) before allowing me to go,” Mr. Ugwuonye, a senior lawyer who practises in Nigeria and the United States of America, told News Express this morning. “I had to tell my driver and personal assistant to go when I was not released as at midnight,” he added.

News Express learnt that Mr. Ugwuonye, who was not allowed to go until after clearance by Abuja, was detained in connection with a video he recently uploaded on the DPA Facebook page in which he said that President Buhari must obey court orders. “He talked as if he was ordering the President,” a DSS source said, adding that Buhari should be talked to with respect as he is the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces.

Ugwuonye said, “This is unacceptable. I am going to sue them on Monday.”

He repeated what he said in the video, insisting that Buhari, who recently declared in public not to obey some court orders, has no option than to abide by the dictates of the Nigerian Constitution and has no right to choose court orders to obey.

Below are his Facebook update as the episode was unfolding.

Obiagelli:
Was the cell not built for detainees?
was it not built by a pdp government?
The court has empowered the efcc to hold detain him for 7days.
Abeg make we hear word.

People like you are the reason most African countries remain backward. Even the blind knows that the so called war against corruption is one-sided. their main aim is to bring pdp down and silent d opposition. Thats nt healthy for our democracy

Reading some comment on this forum, then i get to believe Donald thrump that most African country need to be recolonize for the next 100 years because of their backward way of thinking. 55 years after independence, Nigeria is stil battling wit an unstable democracy. A situation whereby government engage in incesant abuse of human right and total disregard of the rule of law he sworn to protect. Stil most sycopant dont c anytin wrong in it. Major reason most Aficans nations remain backward and underdeveloped

Smiling for everyone, but within him, he is very confused

COngrat sir,

sammyj:
Fat mouth egoat governor always misfiring. How could the clueless governor know how much has been returned since his domain is not beyond EEkiti state.

People like you are the problem we have in this country, not necessarily Buhari, someone whose brain has been removed and programmed to defend failure with other zombie followers

The man from Daura is bringing hooliganism and rascality into Dss. They are now reduce to chasing and oppressing political opponent

noblegrex:
I am PMB supporter a big fan of his at that,take it or leave it no shaking.I can't be a zombie cos it's my president I'm supporting and he's also a humanbeing like me. But original zombie like you don't have president cos you're an ANIMAL,so you should be in the bush in search of your president LION cos is the king of the jungle where you belong.go get sense boy

U are getting it wrong, it seems u are a bigger animal here for not reasoning with ur brain. I am for a better Nigeria and wil not defend mediocrity and tirany in government. If the government is right, i wil surely praise him, but if he is wrong, i wil speak out

eyesofgod:
The post you responded to wasn't meant to be swallowed whole like that. I was just expressing a curiosity. How will he fair outside of the streets, bukas, palm wine joints, motor parks and market squares of Ekiti state?

He is a grassroot politician and man of the people, he understand and knows wat d people are going thru. He also knows how to address the educated and uneducated in the society

eyesofgod:
Well, well. Life is filled with varieties.
Sometimes, I try to picture Fayose on a podium delivering a guest lecture at Chatam House to an audience including Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, the Queen, Ban kin Moon, PMB and likes. It will be epic. Has he ever accompanied any president on a foreign trip?

U dont need to accompany any president on foreign trip b4 u can deliver a lecture. When the time comes, he wil even do more than that.

One of the greatest achievement of Buhari so far is snaping of pictures. Since he came to power, he has snap more than 100000 pictures, making it the administration priority while at the same time, denying his campaign promises. Nigerians are beginning to understand that this government is a joke

This is the beauty of Democracy. People like Fayose are needed to checkmate the excesses of the government and always put them on their toes. But the Daura born dullard and their zombie supporters will never appreciate this.

BENIN CITY – Edo State Government is to commence the enforcement of the Land Use Charge law in a couple of days or weeks ahead according to the letter and spirit of the law.
This was disclosed by the Edo State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Hon. Louis Odion while briefing newsmen on the resolutions reached at the State Executive Council meeting held in Benin City yesterday.
“Land Use Charge law was promulgated two years ago. Since 2012 it has been the responsibility of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development to serve notices on house owners and users of land but we observed that the level of compliance has been very low,” the commissioner said.
According to Hon. Louis Odion, “Our challenges and obligations are mounting, meanwhile, allocation of revenue from Abuja is dwindling. So it has become imperative for us to deepen our tax collection effort.”
Also speaking on outcome of the state Executive Council meeting, the Commissioner for Housing and Urban Development, Arch Francis Evbuomwan said “Basically, the land use charge is a land-based law that encompasses three different laws which are tenement rate, property tax and ground rent. The law stipulates that once the demand notice has been served on any premises, either the owner or occupier of that premises of that property will no longer be eligible for tenement rate from the local government because this land use charge is a cooperation or collaboration with the 18 Local Government Areas in the state.”
According to Hon. Evbuomwan, “Notices started coming out as far back as last year and, however, while we have had some level of compliance, the level of compliance has not been up to the level expected. It is towards this regard that the state executive council has decided to go on full enforcement. Several owners of property have been charged to court and we are awaiting court orders to move against those property to recover the land use tax.”
He explained further: “However, the state Executive Council has also decided to offer another window of opportunity for other members of the public and citizens of the state to take the advantage to enable them meet their tax obligation as follows; payment of the demand notice presented to your premises within 30 days will now attract a waver of penalties applicable to that property.”
“If you receive a demand notice and you pay within 30 days of the date of the demand notice, various penalties applied will be waived. For property that does not have penalties applied on them, if you receive demand notice, state government will accept payment less of 10 percent discount as full and final payment. Let it be clear that once the court judgement starts coming out more defaulters would be enrolled in the court process to enable government recover its taxes,” he said.
Also speaking, the Chairman of Edo State Internal Revenue Service (EIRS) Oseni Elamah who identified the mode and ease of payment as very important, said “At the back of the demand notice, it is stated clearly the bank account, the bank account number and account code for which payment will be made,” stressing that it was a graduation of the period of time the public is expected to pay and that would become fully effective for collection.
He pleaded with members of the public not to pay cash to anybody whether government official or anybody in whatever guise but that they should go to the bank and pay directly, adding that if they were unable to go the bank, they could approach any of the EIRS offices across the state and where the POS machine are available so that they could use their Automated Teller Machine (ATM) cards.
The EIRS Chairman also told the public that in the interim, the EIRS is also running a revenue scratch card which, hopefully, will become operational before the end of this month.
“The total amount of the Land Use charge that is being charged is a very minimal amount compared to any other taxes that you think about,” he said.
