yetunsbay:Tambuwal has gone to court to challenge the removal of his security details by the IGP over his defection to the APC and to stop the House removing him as a speaker and member of the House of Reps which was adjourned until Nov. 27. Though, he had withdrawn the first suit to restore his security details by the IGP recently. The second suit is still pending and the court had earlier ruled that the status quo as at the time Tambuwal approached the court should remain. One of such is that the House shall not reconvene until the 3rd of December. Why would Tambuwal not obey the court order? Have the Police done wrong to defend the court order preventing the House for reconvening until 3rd December? 2 Likes |

The police is a disgrace in this country. There were thugs? Fine, no problem, how come all the so call thugs escaped and not a single arrest were made? Made no such arrests because it was a lie? Also, please criticising the law makers need to use their brains. Is there any law in the land that says the lawmakers do not have the right to seat and honour their constitutional duty? If there is such law, can someone please quote it for the perusal of us all? And if there is no such law, why his MR shoeless trying to stop them illegally? If someone does something illegally, it is also illegal if another person tries to ensure what is illegally done is undone? People need to stop been partisan in their thinking. These law makers have done nothing wrong. It is the shoeless man that needs to explain to the world why he feels this people should not seat to perform the duty they were elected for. 6 Likes 1 Share |

erico2k2:status quo means he is still the speaker and he can call for meeting any day any time and he is trying to work as the speakers of the federation. So bro tell me something else and why did the so called police refused to mention this in their report. This police breach the law or unless you will inform me that status quo means tambuwal is not the speakers and cannot reconvene the house? |

obinoral1179:yes he and no one is meant to return to the house, status quo means he retains all his powers, he knows and realized early enough he wont win the part of returning his security back as usual so he was duly advised.However the court already made a declaration and no one can change that, doing so would undermine the same Agency he seeks refuge from the Judiciary. come on guys no lawyers in the house? 1 Like |

erico2k2: Like I said earlier, police enforce the LAW. No law was broken. A court order is not a law. If someone felt the entire House of Representatives was in violation of the court order, the matter should have been reported to the court, and allowed the court to summon the parties in question. Tear gas and barricades are NOT meant to be used in a civil matter such as this. The police were grossly out of bounds, and behaved like paid thugs. 2 Likes |

The Nigeria Police shall continually apply all lawful means to prevent a breakdown of law and order in all segments of the society and shall apply the full weight of the law on any political actor who violates the peace and security of the nationNice One! Tambuwal should have been made a scapegoat. He should have been shot immediately. Whoever tries to destroy this country (either via terrorism, undue protest, violence, thuggery & hooliganism) should be killed. Thereafter his/her corpse should be taken to the Law court for appropriate judgment. 2 Likes |

MissMeiya:I would take this as a tongue in cheek statement, for God sake your location says USA, you should know better, what happens when the court gives you a restraining order no to go 20 yards to your ex? is that no law? if you do you get arrested right?its this same restraining order that the court gave until the 3rd of December, so the noble thing for the police to do is to arrest all of them and charge them but this is Nigeria, the politicians think they are above the law so they dealt with the situation the best way deem fit.

NgeneUkwenu: noun (plural assaults) A violent onset or attack with physical means, as blows, weapons, etc.; an onslaught; the rush or charge of an attacking force; onset; as, to make assault upon a man, a house, or a town. A violent onset or attack with moral weapons, as words, arguments, appeals, and the like; as, to make an assault on the prerogatives of a prince, or on the constitution of a government. (criminal) An attempt to commit battery: a violent attempt, or willful effort with force or violence, to do hurt to another, but without necessarily touching his person, as by lifting a fist in a threatening manner, or by striking at him and missing him. singulare tantum legal The crime whose action is such an attempt. (tort) An act that causes someone to apprehend imminent bodily harm. singulare tantum legal The tort whose action is such an act. (fencing) A non-competitive combat between two fencers. The actions of the lawmakers are unnecessary, since police have condoned off the place, the honorable thing is for them to obey and live by example. Just imagine I refuse to stop for police stop and search because I know my papers are correct. You don't need to touch a police man physically before you assault him, mere abuse, pushing, holding his uniform, removing his beret, invading a red line are disrespectful to the force and must be condemned by all. 4 Likes |

erico2k2: Sigh. A restraining order is a very particular kind of court order, one that involves a person's or persons' safety. That is why violating a restraining orders can have criminal as well as civil consequences. But even then, someone who thinks another person is violating a restraining order can only call the police (and defend themselves, if they feel their lives are in danger). And what do the police do? They arrive and MAKE AN ARREST. They don't fire tear gas and put up barricades around the protected person. They just make the arrest. The case is then turned over to the COURTS. To determine if the accused was in violation of the restraining order. Yes, even after all that, the matter must still be decided in court. That's how democracy works. Your exaggerated comparison aside, the court order in this case was NOT A RESTRAINING ORDER. No one's life was in danger. This is a civil matter, not a criminal one. It is called an injunction. Whether or not an injunction can be actively enforced by police varies by region. It usually isn't, especially in a case like this. Even if it is, once again, the police must be called, and then they arrest whoever is in violation of the order. In this case, it would be every House member who attempted to meet. THEN, the COURTS--NOT THE POLICE--would decide if they were in violation of the injunction, and make a judgment as to what sanctions to impose, whether it be a fine or jail time. Response to your P.S.: No. A court judgment is not a law. You need to look up the definition of a law. 1 Like 1 Share |
