The Nigerian Bar Association has reacted to the Friday invasion of the Federal High Court, Abuja, by operatives of the Department of State Services in an attempt to rearrest Mr. Omoyele Sowore, who had been released less that 12 hours before.

See the full statement:

DESECRATION AND ASSAULT ON THE FEDERAL HIGH COURT BY DSS: NBA URGES ALL NIGERIANS TO DEFEND THE RULE OF LAW


The Nigerian Bar Association is greatly dismayed at the exhibition of primitivity, thuggery, insane passion for lawlessness, contempt and disrespect for the rule of law by the agents of the Department of State Services (DSS) within the precints of the Federal High Court, Abuja while attempting to re-arrest Citizens Omoyele Sowore and Olawale Bakare earlier today.

Eventually Sowore and Bakare were re-arrested by the DSS inspite of being on bail granted by the Federal High Court.

The NBA has been properly briefed – beyond the shameful videos of the incident in public domain- by our members who witnessed the disgraceful and crass violation of the hallowed precincts of the law by the officers of the Department of State Services, an agency of the Federal Government of Nigeria. The NBA finds it disgraceful that this ‘court riot’ occasioned by the high handedness and insensitivity of the security operatives interrupted judicial proceedings and made the Presiding Judge to abandon judicial proceedings because of safety concerns.
The Nigerian Bar Association strongly condemns the action of the Department of State Security, which is another in the series of impunity and lawlessness exhibited by the DSS. The invasion of the court by the agency of the Gederal Government of Nigeria runs contrary to the avowed assurances of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that he will ensure that the Federal Government and agencies under it obeys court orders. The disrespect of the court by the DSS is legendary and unrivalled.

Few days ago, the officers of the Nigerian Police Force exhibited similar traits when it also invaded the precincts of the High Court, Effurun to arrest Mr. Ademi-Akpeto, Chairman of Sapele branch of the NBA. Many Nigerians are still in unlawful custody and not charged to court. Nigerians are now under siege by security agents who have no regards for the law and the courts.

The NBA urges all Nigerians to be alive to their responsibilities as citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and is ready to partner with all Nigerians and civil society organisations to ensure that the rights of Nigerians as guaranteed by Chapter 4 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 as amended are not trampled upon by by any agency of government.

The NBA therefore, demands as follow:

1. That the Federal Government of Nigeria and the National Assembly immediately investigate the shameful conduct by the DSS and ensure that all persons found culpable are duly punished in accordance with the law.

2. The immediate suspension of the Director General of the Department of State Security from office. We make this demand bearing in mind the fact that the DSS under his leadership has established itself as a brutish and irresponsible agency that derives immense pleasure from violating the fundamental rights of Nigerians and disrespecting court orders.

3. That the National Assembly should review the laws setting up the DSS and indeed all security agencies in Nigeria with a view to repositioning them to be more responsible and responsive to the public.

4. That the Attorney General of the Federation, being the Chief Law officer of the Federation takes over all the political cases or cases involving politically exposed persons presently handled by the DSS.

The above demands of the NBA is without prejudice to the consultations presently going on amongst critical stakeholders in the legal profession and the judiciary on how best to ensure that this sad incident does not re-occur.

so many grammatical errors...I doubt if this is from my learned friends

I've always said it... PMB is waiting for 2nd term to show his true colors.

I can tell you all right at this moment, he won't relinquish power at the end of his term. Wait and see...

YorubaLord:
I've always said it... PMB is waiting for 2nd term to show his true colors.

I can tell you all right at this moment, he won't relinquish power at the end of his term. Wait and see...

You made sense with this statement... I think so too and absolutely nothing will happen, only talk and talk and more talk.

Buhari won't be seeking for your vote in 2023 and has said that himself. He is a product of the old northern oligarchy. For those who have forgoting history, the emirs used to rule supreme and brutal to any contrary opinion, and that was why the colonial master prefer them to their counterparts in the south.

I am not surprised with the turn out of event, inshort I expected it. This a man who retired to his home in Daura, and never on his own championed any meaningful course for his people in the north other faning ambers of national disunity by his various religious and political comments.

NBA sounds like a broken record. Anything short of carrying out industrial action will not shake Buhari.

What we are withnessing is the main disadvantage of one party state. It ultmately make the head a supreme leader. All this grabbing of election results and political positions by one party will kill this country.

Who will bring Buhari to order, when he has placed puppets in the legislator and Judiciary. We warmed and they called everybody wailers.

If we want democracy let us live by the undiluted tenet. We can't practise democracy and dictatorship same time.

ArmaniUhuru:
You people don’t know Buhari!!

Sir Michael Adekunle Ajasin who was elected governor of Ondo state (1979- 1983) was tried by a military tribunal & found innocent.

Buhari ordered a fresh trial 3 times

He was still found innocent

Buhari still jailed him.


Sowore is not the first.

Was it not the same man that made decree overnight and backdated it just to make sure the igbos jailed for drug related offences are killed? We have short memory in this country... I laugh when youths especially igbos And yorubas support him.

Dexpro:
Who exactly is the FG? The NASS is inside "FG's" pocket . FG appointed the CJN.

So...

Never has Nigeria experienced such impunity even under the popular Abacha.


Funny thing is 'FG' is making Sowore more popular.

Abacha was not pretending to be democratic. He was ruthless and unapologetically so. No democratic tenure can rival the brutality of military rule. Abeg comot Abacha from that your comment.

This government is sick

globalresource:
I’m leaving the zoo

Ok that's good. Better to leave than just be complaining up and down all over social media..

I was like that as well, some 20 years ago..
I got my big break to go to UK and do a Master's degree.
I followed Whiteman to live their life, eating bread and tea, wearing coat and tie.

The only thing I didn't like was how they don't believe in God at all. Talking anyhow, nothing is wrong for them. A immorality is correct. I wasn't feeling too confident and that affected my attitude. My attitude affected my job application. That in turn denied my a work permit. And so, I returned to this same gaddem Nigeria to come and still face the zoo.

I can't complain again O. The one I can do, I do it. The one I cannot do, I leave it.

I wish you the best in life.

They need to unite and take actions, there are legal ways to put pressure on the government.

Nnamdi Kanu - Igbo
Sowore - Yoruba

all what this NBA are saying is just grammar
