Funny thing in law is that every lawyer is right in his/her own interpretation of the law.

Afterall some lawyers said President had no right to suspend CJN, while some others saw nothing wrong with it. Las las , the guy still remained suspended and proceeded to compulsory retirement.

Both are terrorist groups.
Use your dictionary when in doubt.
So demanding for the release of your leader being locked up after several courts have ordered for his release is terrorism?

This guy history will never remember u for good thing, defending fraudulent politicians in court as if that was not enough.... Now this
Going by this line of reasoning, doctor's are not supposed to treat fraudulent politicians when they fall ill, merchants of whatever trade are not supposed to sell to them, banks are not supposed to allow them have any accounts in their bank, they shouldn't be allowed to worship in any worship center of their choice and even barbers and beauty salons shouldn't render any services to them.

This your reasoning should apply to every service provider against alleged fraudulent politicians.

Those who are supporting this illegality should be careful. IPOB was proscribed, IMN proscribed, MASSOB proscribed etc soon Afenifere will follow, Trade Unions will be proscribed if anyone is killed during their protests, yet nothing has happened to fulani Herdsmen who have displaced people and remained on the lands in plateau state, Benue, Taraba etc

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

References:
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.’

I can see many people looking for hard currency from Iran. Terrorist group spends million of dollars on radicalization of new members, Arms and Legal fees. I can see many Lawyers interested in blood for money dollars.

Can Shi'ite try to attack the convoy of US Defence Chief? We have Boko Haram & ISWAP and cannot allow Iran the use of Nigeria as a base to spread her terrorism network to West Africa. There are international intelligence reports on Shi'ite activities. Under Abacha, if they had tried to attack the convoy of COAS, their leader would not have been alive.

shocked



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.
Hahaha, Lol at Nigeria having a useless chief judge dressed like king jaffe grin

You are being overly emotional ..

You cannot refuse to recognise the government and and at the same time obey the laws... sad the two events are not mutually exclusive..

Also, even the Muslim student society are armed with dangerous weapons..I saw them in oau Ife in the 90's when a few friends and I organized a beauty paegent.. huh

The Shiites are highly armed with IED"s and automatic weapons just like their brothers the miyeti Allah... huh

Ipob too was forcing people to join ...and extorting civilians on the highway - it was never going to end well.. huh

Using violence for political aim is the modus operandi of terrorists.
We have not forgotten how Ipob terrorizes people minding their business.
Violence isn't just about guns and bombs.
If I force you to close your shop on a certain day with threats, that is violence.
We have not forgotten the terror that Ipob put the people through hell at the
height of their shenanigans, while their online arm continues to deny it.
They put so many motorists through hell, even beating up some.

As for the IMN folks, they have always been a menace whenever they engage in any
of their procession.
They cause fear and panic for commuters who are unfortunate to be caught up in their
"peaceful" protest. The height of it was the killing of a journalist and a police DCP.

What many people dont know is that IMN is not the only shiite organisation in Nigeria. The others are conducting their activities without being confrontational. IMN decided to take on ⁶the govt - let's see who blinks first.
