A F e d e r a l High Court sitting in Abuja yes­terday gave legal backings moves by the Speaker of the House of Repre­sentatives, Aminu Tambuwal to send the Inspector Gen­eral of Police, Sulei­man Abba to prison for disobeying court order.

Justice Ahmed Mo­hammed specifically directed the Speaker to put the IGP on notice to come and show cause why he should not be committed to prison.

Meanwhile, the court has fixed December 1 to decide the fate of five persons seeking to join in the suit as co-defendants after which hearing in the main suit will commence on December 3.

In the substantive suit against the IG, Tambuwal through his counsel, Lateef gay­bemi SAN who led eight other SANS and 69 lawyers had brought a motion ex parte ask­ing the court directing the Inspector General of Police to appear in person to show why he should not be com­mitted to prison for disobeying the order of court which earlier directed that status quo be maintained.

gud

From IGP to Prisoner

at times one can move from grace to grass

There, there shouldn't be any problem if this ABA respect the law as he so conviniently profess when he was harrasing elected officials.

Let's see how it goes!

I dare say who has the balls to commit a sitting IG to prison?

Who will effect his arrest?

Talk is cheap. There is a woman called Arunma Otteh, resolution upon resolution were passed on her but records still state that she is the DG SEC.

Modified for the sake of kids.

This is a serious problem for IG ooo

This your 'source' nawa o…
Modify; Source changed.
Good news, put the bleeping ig on a hotter seat, let him learn some sense!

Do you know the power of a High Court Judge ?

This guy is a learner o. If his explanation is not sound enough, he will be arrested right inside the court room straight onto a black maria.

Watch n learn

I say lock the fool up, I guess he's unaware of the part of the constitution which emphasizes status quo -----innocent until proven guilty even applies to shekau until proven guilty in court----- let alone of complicated section of the constitution with no precedence which is to be so until court ruling. But aba in his infinite daftness is so quick to act as if he is the law

BiHung:
Seun come and see how you have converted the name of the lawyer from F.a.GB.e.m.I to Gay.gbemi

So now..anywhere we see F.A.G it must mean GAY abi?

There is God o

there is truly God

Who executes the court's judgement? If the judiciary wants to give a shot at anarchy let them feel free.

A word of advice to the judge and you " there is a word called discretion"

Discretion to allow a man who is meant to enforce the law to disobey the law? Funny you.

When a court gives an order of arrest, it doesn't follow any hierarchy of the police force...the court directs! And he will be arrested immediately by an order Mandamus's... Chai!!! The nearest DPO will be served and he ia duty bound to arrest the IGP..it is this DPO that will use discretion to either respectfully or disrespectfully arrest the guy..but either way, the guy will be put in a black maria.

Watch and learn.I hope you saw how Tafa Balogun was dragged on the floor.

Mandamus is a judicial remedy in the form of an order from a superior court, to any government subordinate court, corporation, or public authority—to do some specific act which that body is obliged under law to do—and which is in the nature of public duty, and in certain cases one of a statutory duty.

huh! nigeria can be corrupt but dey dont take law for granted

It's not Tambuwal's job to address the issue and jail the IG or even alert the court.

Our useless judiciary sha.. The judge issued the other so why is the judge not issuing bench warrant for contempt against the IG?

May God bless you there. Senseless post.

sunnyshayne:

OBJ wanted it so but didn't have the power to do so.

Only the court can. So OBJ used the court to achieve that.

Now ... The only thing GEJ can do is to make sure the court doesn't give the order. Once the. Court does, there is nothing GEJ can do.

Any attempt by GEJ to harass the judiciary's power will be considered as anarchy..and it seems that's what you are envisaging.

My dear, Burkina Faso plus Libya plus Egypt would be like cartoon

This story is misleading.

The action of the IG in interpreting the Constitution in itself should make any lawyer angry.
IG, na only waka come?

Your post is seriously lacking in substance. How come you are the only one reporting this shit of a story?

Who paid you to spread this falsehood? Make sure you collect your balance from alhaji Tambuwal this night.

I rest my case, those who have eyes should read.

Good move
