Ozekhome: FG's Proscription Of IMN's Activities: Illegal, Unconstitutional by References: 6:17pm On Jul 27, 2019 |
Constitutional lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN has said that the proscription of the Shii’tes religious group by the federal government is illegal and unconstitutional. Speaking with Vanguard, Ozekhome said that the action of the government through the court was highly discriminatory. He said, “The proscription by the government of the Shii’tes religious group is highly discriminatory, unconstitutional, as was the case of IPOB. What group could be more terrorist than the Herdsmen and their known anchor, Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association that has held Nigeria down by the jugular for years killing, maiming, burning, raping, turning Nigeria into a crimson field of bloodbath? “Until the government bans and outlaws these, it is certainly not serious. They are demanding for the release of their leader still kept in government dungeon in spite of several Court orders. “The Shii’te group is a religious group, like the President’s Sunni group. It is not an Association that could be banned. Section 10 of the Nigerian Constitution makes Nigeria a secular State. you can’t ban religion, a people’s belief. “There is also freedom of thought, conscience and religion in section 38, while sections 40 and 41 allow for freedom of movement and Association. The Constitution is ruthlessly being shredded by an intolerant and overbearing civilian dictatorship.’ https://www.vanguardngr.com/2019/07/shiites-proscription-illegal-unconstitutional-mike-ozekhome/ 46 Likes 5 Shares

"The proscription and declaration of Shiites group as a terrorist organisation was even late in coming. It was more of a republic in a Republic. They don’t bow to the sovereignty of Nigeria, they don’t recognise the government in any form, they don’t vote, they have “military” personnel of their own. I'm worried about the number of crazy people who are parading themselves as Lawyers in Nigeria. What exactly makes the Shiites or IMN a terrorist group? Did the Shiites declare any Republic within Nigeria? No! And even if they did, that is not what makes a group terrorist. It is not a must that a person must recognize the sovereignty or government of a country. What matters is if the person keeps to the laws of the country. I dont even know how not voting is terrorism. To be a military personnel, one must be armed. I have never seen Shiites with arms and nobody has ever said they have been seen with arms either. It seems that these people dont know what terrorism is. That's why herdsmen are slaughtering people daily and government wants to give them Ruga Terrorism is when a group is going out to destroy lives and property in other to achieve a political aim. Neither IPOB nor Shiites has used violence to achieve any political aim What has happened to IPOB and Shiites is that they go out to exercise their constitutional right to protest and they clash with the security forces which turns violent sometimes. This is not terrorism. A terrorist organisation dies not wait to clash with the authorities before being violent. A terrorist group goes out to be violent Neither IPOB or Shiites are terrorists 141 Likes 15 Shares |

Does the Attorney General of the federation truly understand the fundamental human rights on which the Constitution is based on? This proscription is unconstitutional and an infringement on the human rights of it's members. Nigerians are more disturbed by the actions and utterances of Miyetti Allah than they are with the Shiite Muslims We are also concerned that in the place of a sound Justice Walter Onnoghen, Nigeria now has a Chief Justice who wears a suit and a cap like King Jaffe Joffer of Zamunda in Coming to America. Really, that was the last time I saw anyone dress that queerly. The Shiites are no terrorists, the killer Fulani herdsmen are. 106 Likes 15 Shares |

Xisnin: If u are not living ur life in resentfulness, then what do we make of this statement u made? For ur information, there wasn't Nigeria, there is no Nigeria and there will no be Nigeria. If u say there is Nigeria, it means it exists with nothing denoting it's a nation. U can choose to be so pretentious about it but u know in ur inner mind that Nigeria is a huge joke to be called a nation. Let the tyrant continue with his repressive approach to governance. Tagging every group that differs from his religious intolerance, coupled with ur slave and unrepentant support, he will be much emboldened. I can assure u that not too long from now, this emboldening of his must cause an outcome and that outcome is nothing but parting of ways from this contraption called Nigeria. 32 Likes 4 Shares |

I have been waiting for a known PDP figure to speak against the proscription of the terrorist group. PDP is evil. I repeat, PDP members are evildoers. They are the one funding this Shiite terrorist group. God almighty will protect us from this evil gathering called PDP. 14 Likes 1 Share |
