I know that and I believe Buhari should obey court orders but the reality of it all is that Dasuki and Kanu are facing serious charges and are thus flight risks if granted bail, That said he should obey court orders.

Are you sure? What's happening in Guantanamo bay prison ?

stevnwigw:
and buhari will go in for it, you will remember today.

Buhari will definitely be a victim of this action he instigated with time.

chrysso83:
Buhari just confirmed the unrepentant tyran he is. So he cannot obey court order.

...which court? The Nigerian court can let go of any accused, when there is money. So why give a f.uck?

seaboi06:
wait dere...you dis BASTARD

Idiots everywhere.

This noisy nuisances from South West.

dominique:
But nobody used a media platform to preach hate and incite violence and destruction of lives and property during GEJ's time. And why are his supporters keeping quiet on the fact that he came into the country with a fake passport despite having two legal ones. Doesn't that depict that the said person is up to no good? Those are different charges on their own. He should remain in jail and face his charges abeg.

Wrong!! Radio Biafra had been transmitting/broadcasting since the time of Yaradua's administration, even over the internet. Neither Yaradua nor Jonathan bothered themselves with the gentleman. Freedom of speech is guaranteed by the Nigeria Constitution; the only time Biafra agitators where engaged by the government was when they broke the law.

The irony of this very discussion is that, today in history, December 12 1983, is the exact date that Buhari dissolved the National assembly and declared coup.

asorocker:
You people keep making the same mistake every time. As powerful as Obama is he cannot keep someone in custody with recourse to the law.

...Obama did not because there is no secessionist like Kanu in the State...

kingdompropty:
Buhari betrayed his emotions. He began to whine .

Nnamdi Kanu will pull down this administration if he doesn't take his precautions.

...are you serious? Tell me you are so unserious with what you posted....

AbleGodAlways:
Nnamdi Kanu, Mandela of our time

...Mandela of his family...

I didn't want to rate/score/comment on this issue but considering the youtube buffet I feel compelled to do so!!

This is where the ignorance of some Nigerians are perpetually betrayed.

Mr President in a media broadcast, before the entire world, "tactically" admitted been aware of the continued detention of at least 2 persons who the judiciary, via the courts have issued administrative bail via court orders, a direct breach of Nigerian law!!

The fact that the agency in question, involved in this breach of Nigeria law, the DSS, is under the brief of the NSA, which is directly under the presidency, is proof that Buhari approved of such actions personally.

The is a total contradiction of Buhari's mantra of obeying the constitution on assumption of office! It is also pathetic, that this kind of executive lawlessness is happening at time when the countries vice president is a Professor of Law - what an APCrian quagmire!!

I do not wish to sound like a prophet of doom, but permit me to go "Negro-Spiritual" on this matter!!

The Bible will rather have us believe, that a man who is faithful in little/trivial matters will also be faithful in much/weighty matters.

When the same Buhari was confronted by Medhi Hassan on Aljazeera, on past statements attributed to him concerning the "strong passion and desire, burning in his heart" and how he had once said that "He won't rest until Sharia is effected in the entire country"; President Buhari insisted that the constitution doesn't "allow" for it; what if he was lying??

If for an issue as trivial as administrative bail - I say trivial because it ordinarily doesn't involve the presidency - Mr President chooses to waltz in, a move which isn't "allowed" by the Nigerian constitution; what stops him from waltzing in too and declaring sharia in the entire country??

Already, Nigeria was listed by Saudi Arabia, as being among the islamic countries along side iran and turkey that are combining forces to fight sharia, and the Nigerian government didn't react to such an assertion, in a country with religious tensions already existing in the North East; shouldn't that bother the average right thinking Nigerian!!??

Most especially when 3 deadly attacks targeted at largely civilian population is count by the Nigerian government as a "technical defeat" of BokoHaram by Mr President himself - God will Judge him at his own time.

If I were Nnamdi Kanu's and Dasuki Sambo's lawyer; all they need to do is take the recording to court and let the Nigeria press do the rest!! That Media chat, is documentary evidence, that Mr President is the hand rocking the cradle, as far as the violation of court orders by the SSS is concerned!

It is too early in Mr President's administration to be talking like this, but this, by itself is an impeachable offence.

The only thing, that forms the foundation of any democracy, is the rule of law as established by the Judiciary! In other words, its the law and the ability to be compelled by established law that defines a democracy; remove the law and it a dictatorship.

If a sitting President and Vice-president feels that they are both above court orders; then we must be worried; if I may ask, considering his brazen admittance of stifling the rule of law, what stops Mr President from holding on to power, come 2019 assuming he loses an election!!

What we just saw, transpire in that video should be a cause of concern for all right thinking Nigerians and democrats alike and not religious/ethnic jubilations of bigotrious proportions that have no positive impact on the collective minds of men seeking to inspired by leadership at all levels/strata of society!!

Unfortunately lots of NL members are not right thinkers.

Omotolu:

Please google is your friend, Obama has faced and faces more serious threats every day than Nnamdi Kalu or even the Shiite movement. Fortunately for them he is a DEMOCRAT in a sane nation and I understands the rule of law and separation of powers.
For the record I am very anti Biafra so I don't agree with Nnamdi Kalus position on things. Today it affects someone you don't like so anything goes, sooner or later it will affect all of us one way or the other by then it will be too late to shout.

Buhari is not God. He doesn't know what will happen tomorrow. Who told him that he Buhari can survive the next four years?

No one is against them operating a radio station, but using it to preach hate, disunity and future violence is the bone of contention. No sane government will allow such person go scott free.

Why not tell me, better still post video evidence of incisive comments made through the radio station.

jidowu84:
He was freed and re-arested. U don't Gerrit? Cos of new charges levelled against him. (new discoveries) this is a case VS a state. U don't get away with treason anywhere in the world. Not as in McGregor VS McGregor.

Freed? Dude be truthful for once, even Buhari reaction towards the KANU matter shows he was never freed.

What they preach does not matter, as a christian, what muslims preach doesn't exactly line up with what I accept but that's not a good reason to shut them down when they preach!!

What people preach in a democracy doesn't count; folks in the USA calling Bush and Obama members of illuminati isn't a reason to shut people down!!

It is when they break the law; in this particular case, the question to be asked is not whether they preach a message that we don't like; the question is where was the law breached

My President is the most powerful man on earth... cus he is upholding our unity!!! #QuotaMeAndDie

TonySpike:
Buhari has personalised Nnamdi Kanu's case. If i remember correctly, Kanu has repeatedly called Buhari a paedophile on the radio several times. I guess it's payback time...#PopcornMoments

Truth is, it's simply beyond any human being not to take personal such constant insults on PMB by the lunatic albino.
I pray he rots in jail and never come out of prison alive.

ziccoit:
You people are funny or deliberately dodging the truth. Kanu, Dasuki etc was re-arrested and and going to be arraigned for new charges based on new evidence. Since you people have mastered and perfected the art of manipulation of court Buhari government too has understood how to keep the criminals perpetually in custody before the witnesses start dying in mysterious manners.

You are ignorant, thrice Nnamdi Kanu was granted bail & dictator Buhari refused to release him. When Obama came to Ghana during his first official trip to Africa, he advised that for Africa to get it right, they must create strong institutions & not strong men. What are the strong institutions? They are the judiciary, efcc etc. we dont need strong men like Abacha, Idi Amin, Buhari Etc.

This is the part I don't like when you IPOB miscreants write. Are you saying all his broadcasts so far have been within the ambit of the laws? He has never broken any known laws? To you he will only break the laws when he actually become voilent? SMH

You IPOB miscreants have been threatening PMB since he assumed the Presidency. Every time you lose.

Many don't understand what is going on but speak because of tribal hate or ignorance. The Law of the land (in a democracy gov) has said release em. If the president see em as national risk, then he should but em on house arrest or 24hrs security watch. By not obeying court order this is no longer democracy but autocracy. Let's look beyond tribal sentiment, party love or vendetta, if the Nigeria gov get away with this I can guarantee u that no one is safe and many fundamental rights will be breached. We are citizens not sheep

PS: am not ibo, but proud Uhrobo for waffi city.

Who cares who you are....the important point is that a man charged with treasonable felony cannot be free on bail....it is by law an unbailable offence.....if convicted as he should be.....the criminal must be executed according to the law.... ...the era of impunity has gone with Jonathan... ....God bless PMB....a real President at last....

IQnoCommon:
bros,threatening the lives of Nigerians is not a crime?,telling people to burn down other tribes properties is not a crime?u go school at all?do uno the meaning of treason? I hail o,what happened to Google and definitions?use it before talking guy,go and find the meaning of treason

All of those things are not crimes. They fall under freedom of speech. I have CD's were some gangter-rappers are asking their fans to much worse than what Kanu said. It is not possible to commit a crime just by 'talking'

Name one section of the 1999 Constitution and other relevant laws that were violated by Nnamdi Kanu and then your concerns for security will be deemed valid!!

Buhari, in the media chat, accused Nnamdi kanu of importing sophisticated equipment for the purpose of Media broadcast!! How is that a crime??

I remember when El-rufai was invited by the SSS and accused of making seditious statement against the government - el rufai simply laughed, because sedition does not exist in our constitution. He knew that because he had a diploma in law - Sedition is a word typically used by the military.

APC chieftains call Jonathan all sorts of names; amaechi called for civil disobedience, Buhari sought for the dogs and baboons to be soaked in blood; where they arrested for what they said??

A landmark of measuring democractic rights in any democracy is freedom of speech; you have the right to say whatever you want but I also have to choose what I listen to, equation balanced!! As long as what you say doesn't in anyway infringe on my right to what I want to hear!!

This is why - in my own opinion - Jonathan saw no need to give attention to people like Nnamdi Kanu no matter how many broadcast sessions he held! The only times I remember they got his attention, was when they tried to enforce the use of biafran currency - against Nigerian law - and when some of the biafran agitators tried to raid a radio station in the east and pass an emergency broadcast announcing biafra; both acts which are criminal offences!!

Also for the record, not everyone who doesn't agree with your opinion on how court orders should be obeyed or disobeyed - whether concerning Kanu, Dasuki, or any Nigerian for that matter - is an IPOB fan or a miscreant!!

My mother and father are from Edo State, what is regarded as the heartbeat of the Nation!! That makes me someone from the south-south and that makes you myopic!!

Leave all this your acedemic exercise. When the legal fireworks begin, go and defend him with your legal-brilliance.

So when the strong men such as Dasuki, GEJ etc or strong-men-backed people like Kanu wants to rubbish our weak institution we just siddon dey look do nothing? Buhari approach is the best for now until normalcy returns.

LordVarys:
Buhari lost his cool there, their lawyers should stop wasting money fighting for bail, they will keep on re-arresting them till infinity. As much as I despise their crimes, I still think it's dangerous to disobey court orders and choose which to obey in a democracy....its a slippery slope that can lead to anarchy

What do you mean by Court orders? What do you understand about criminal proceedings? Nobody was disobeying court orders. EFCC allowed Dasuki, but he has other cases to answer with the DSS so he was re-arrested again. We now have an aggressive law enforcement agencies and not one eager to allow law offenders to go easily.

These criminals are a political risk and should answer for their crimes. Let the trial decide for them and I bet there will be further arrest and one charge count MUST stick.

Let's not talk from both sides of the mouth; he was charged to court for whatever offence the SSS deemed he should be charged for; the same court gave order for bail to be administered on the Kanu and Kanu has met the bail conditions!

Does it now make sense for the SSS to flout the order of a court, before a judge that you are trying to convince that he commited Treason or whatever crime you accuse him of??

If you were a judge, will you entertain any entry or submission made by the SSS/DSS when they have flouted/ignored orders issued by you??

Are you aware, that flouting a court order is tantamount to contempt of court!! And the when SSS loses the case, they will say Judges are corrupt and they need to do reforms in the Judiciary!!

Be reasonable in your submissions; if you will not obey a court order that is unfavourable to you, why Charge a person to such a court! Let Buhari just setup Military tribunal or use SSS to setup para-military tribunal and charge Kanu let us know that we are in an era where the law is openly disobeyed and the President can brag with ease in a Media chat!!

What stops Buhari from refusing to handover come may 2019 if he loses elections, if a matter as simple as administrative bail, issued by the Judiciary, that does not concern the presidency is receiving unlawful executive interference how much more matters that concern it directly!!
