Politics / Re: Sowore’s Detention: UK Government Asks FG To Respect Rule Of Law by obidark: 3:49pm On Dec 11, 2019
Victor08032:
The entire country and a global audience are rightly scandalised by
the unfolding saga over Omoyele Sowore and the unruliness of the
SSS and the government; but it is only a pattern, a reflection of the
serial disregard of the Buhari regime for human rights and its
battering of other arms of government and our democratic
institutions. PUNCH views this tendency and its recent escalation
with serious concern, knowing as the great thinker, Edmund Burke,
said that “the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for
good men to do nothing.” Nigeria had trod a path, a veritable
obstacle course, where repression, especially under military
jackboots, was a malignant presence and this attracted heroic
resistance by ordinary people, civil society groups and the press.
But Nigerians have lately become lethargic, divided by ethnic and
sectarian sentiments and weakened by widespread poverty brought
on by a rapacious political class and bad governance.
PUNCH will not adopt the self-defeating attitude of many Nigerians
looking the other way after each violation of rights and attacks on
the citizens, the courts, the press and civic society, including self-
determination groups lawfully exercising their inalienable rights to
peaceful dissent. This regime’s actions and assaults on the courts,
disobedience of court orders and arbitrary detention of citizens
reflect its true character of the martial culture. Major General
Muhammadu Buhari (retd) ran a ham-fisted military junta in
1984/85 and old habits obviously run deep. Until he and his
repressive regime purge themselves of their martial tendency
therefore, PUNCH will not be a party to falsely adorning it with a
democratic robe, hence our decision to label it for what it is – an
autocratic military-style regime run by Major General Muhammadu
Buhari (retd).
Sowore’s travails are symptomatic: having ignored court orders
granting him bail, the SSS, after much pressure following 125 days
in captivity, released him only to stage a GESTAPO-style raid on the
court where the journalist was standing trial. The leader of the
Islamic Movement in Nigeria, Ibrahim el-Zakzakky and his wife
have spent over three years in detention in violation of court orders
granting them bail and ordering their release. A former National
Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, has been held in detention since
2015 in defiance of several court orders, including one by the
ECOWAS appellate court that declared his continued incarceration
illegal. Under Buhari, the SSS has become a monstrous and
repressive secret police, acting often with impunity. Buhari bears
responsibility for the state of repression because, as president, he
can stop it today.
But the SSS is not alone. The Nigeria Police, whose notoriety
predates Buhari’s second coming, has continued its serial abuse of
human rights and is ever available to officials who routinely deploy
police officers from the mundane abuse of sirens in traffic to
arbitrary arrest and torture of victims. The police and military fail to
understand that peaceful agitation and the right to associate are
fundamental rights.
This situation is eerily familiar: as military head of state, Buhari’s
appointee who headed the National Security Organisation, as the
SSS was then known, Lawal Rafindadi, unleashed a reign of terror
on Nigerians, featuring arbitrary arrests and torture in cells
described by inmates as chambers of horror. Under the infamous
Decree 2, agents had pre-signed detention papers, court orders
were ignored and ouster clauses were inserted in decrees, while
the press was specifically targeted with the infamous Decree 4
under which Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabor were jailed.
Returning as an elected president, Buhari has followed the same
template, appointing Lawal Daura as Director-General of the SSS,
who re-enacted the Rafindadi playbook by his treatment of Dasuki
and el-Zakzakky, among others, raided the homes of judges and
twice deployed armed SSS heavies to foil the arrest of two former
security chiefs by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Nigerian Navy authorities similarly ignored court orders to release
Navy Captain Dada Labinjo, who they detained for over a year until
his recent release on bail; Nigerian Army too detains suspects
interminably on the grounds of being terrorism suspects.
Some governors have borrowed from this nefarious model,
deploying security agents and perverting the law to punish critics
and journalists. Critics, Dadiyata Idris and Stephen Kefas, have been
arrested and arraigned. Agba Jalingo is facing a treason charge for
offending the Cross River State Government. Jones Abiri, a local
publisher in Bayelsa State, has been charged with terrorism while,
in Delta State, two journalists are facing criminal defamation
charges.
The regime’s Information and Culture Minister, Lai Mohammed,
forgetting how, as opposition spokesman in 2014, he was harassed
by the SSS and accused of “loitering,” has been vigorously pressing
for anti-hate speech laws to restrict the social media. Abdullahi
Sabi, a senator, along with others, has re-presented a hate-speech
bill: their sole purpose is to insulate officials from criticism and
compel unquestioned acceptance of Buhari’s draconian misrule.
Under the law, suspects cannot be held beyond 48 hours except by
a court order. But the regime observes this in the breach. Yet,
Nigeria is a signatory to the United Nations Declaration of Human
Rights, African Charter on Human and People’s Rights and the
Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading
Treatment and other treaties guaranteeing fundamental rights. The
1999 Constitution also spells out basic rights. But the regime
chooses which rights or court orders to respect or obey. This is
unacceptable. Critical segments of the society have been
assaulted, silenced or compromised. It is time, as a Nobel laureate,
Wole Soyinka, has strongly advocated, for civil society to
rejuvenate itself and send the message to Buhari to “rein in his
wild dogs of disobedience.” From the United States has come a
message from the Department of State, two senators and Congress
telling the Buhari regime to stop its shocking affront to the rule of
law, reminding the General that “respect for the rule of law, judicial
independence, political and media freedom, and due process are
key tenets of democracy.”
Nigeria has had more than its fair share of draconian rulers,
whether in military or civil garb, but none has succeeded in
breaking our resilience and irrepressible spirit. This regime will not
prove to be an exception. Nigeria, and Nigerians, will overcome.
The strong desire of our people to enjoy the unfettered freedoms
guaranteed by the constitution and the rule of law, including the
freedom to speak freely and assemble peacefully, will again outlive,
outlast and crush the spirit of despotism.
Buhari can still redeem himself and his out-of-control security
agents and reclaim his past facade of tolerance. When Daura
brazenly inserted himself in politics by recklessly sending armed
masked SSS enforcers to besiege the National Assembly, as acting
President, Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo promptly sacked him and
had him arrested. Buhari should similarly distance himself and his
regime from the lawlessness and impunity of the current SSS DG,
Yusuf Bichi, by dismissing him, ordering the release of all victims
of illegal detention and compelling obedience to court orders. The
SSS has not been efficient in the war against terror; it should
perform its primary duty to safeguard the country. As a product of
statute, its loyalty should be to the country, not to temporary
occupiers of public office.
The regime’s repression cannot succeed but will further polarise
the society and weaken national cohesion. The Nigerian Bar
Association has vowed to defend the sanctity of judicial authority,
while Soyinka has warned that disregard for court orders could
beget desperation and civil disobedience. Nigerians need to stop
their supine acquiescence to oppression and learn to stand up for
their rights as many are doing around the world, using all peaceful
and legal means, including the right to protest and of peaceful
assembly. It is Dasuki, el-Zakzakky, Sowore and others today, who
knows who is next if repression is not resisted?
As a symbolic demonstration of our protest against autocracy and
military-style repression, PUNCH (all our print newspapers, The
PUNCH, Saturday PUNCH, Sunday PUNCH, PUNCH Sports Extra, and
digital platforms, most especially Punchng.com) will henceforth
prefix Buhari’s name with his rank as a military dictator in the 80s,
Major General, and refer to his administration as a regime, until
they purge themselves of their insufferable contempt for the rule
of law.
