Human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to stop various security agencies from further violating human rights in the course of carrying out their duties.



He said in a statement on Sunday that this had become necessary in view of the ban by the United States of America on the sale of arms to Nigeria over alleged continued violation of human rights under the Buhari administration.

Falana said though the basis for the ban on sale of arms by the US could be queried, the President should stop the violation of people’s rights and also release all political detainees.



He specifically urged the President to order the release of the immediate past National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.), who has been held in custody without a court order.

Falana said the release of Dasuki would allow the ex-NSA’s trial for alleged diversion of arms funds to go on smoothly.

He said the government should obey the ruling of the ECOWAS Court ordering the release of the former NSA.

But the Senior Advocate of Nigeria explained that the order made by the ECOWAS Court should, however, not be viewed as exonerating Dasuki of the charges preferred against him.

Falana said, “With respect to the substantive relief, the ECOWAS Court held that the detention of Col. Dasuki without a court order could not be justified under the Nigerian Constitution and the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights.

“Consequently, the court ordered the release of the applicant and the payment of N15m damages to him as reparation for the infringement of his rights.

“In reporting the judgment of the ECOWAS Court, the media conveyed the impression that that the Federal Government has been ordered to release the plaintiff unconditionally from further detention.

“Contrary to such misleading impression, the ECOWAS Court has not discharged and acquitted Col. Dasuki in respect to the criminal charges pending against him in the Nigerian courts. All that the court said was that the suspect be allowed to enjoy his human right to liberty within the context of the bail granted him by the trial courts."

[s]It just occurred to me that this election in America is not 100% decided yet. Why and How?

I read something in an article. See excerpts below

'As of late Wednesday, he had 290 to Clinton’s 228. According to the Constitution, chosen electors of the Electoral College are the real people who will vote for president, when they meet on Dec. 19 in their respective state capitals

However, there is nothing stopping any of the electors from refusing to support the candidate to whom they were bound or by abstaining from voting'.

'There’s even a name for it: becoming a “faithless elector.”

Although the idea of the electors trying to reverse the vote is occasionally discussed — such as after the incredibly close 2000 election in which George Bush narrowly beat Al Gore — going “faithless” is exceedingly rare.


Given the high dissatisfaction with Trump among Republicans, a few faithless GOP electors could well go rogue next month.

One Texas GOP elector, Chris Suprun of Texas, told Politico in August that he finds Trump so unpalatable he would consider voting for Clinton on Dec. 19'.[/s]

True. If Hillary Clinton had won, by now the Politics section would have been littered with threads by the Lagos/Ibadan expressway media gang.

How does this help your cause?

I just don't know. Ibos are the most emotional and easy to brainwash people on earth.
Where did trump promise them biafra? Even the educated ones (mostly in markets) are seen giving out soft drinks yesterday.
They think trump will just come here and tear Nigeria apart.
If you don't get biafra before Trump tenure is eventually truncated(this I know would happen due to numerous controversies that will trail his administration) , then, you guys are bunch of airheads.

Seriously why should i care if Americans elect a fish or cow as president??

PapaBrowne:
Any Nigerian that supported Hilary is either totally ignorant of how she directly or indirectly is responsible for the rise of terrorism in Nigeria.

The destruction of Libya was the handiwork of Hilary & Obama. That destruction led to the proliferation of arms across Africa which in turn empowered Boko Haram.

Now when it was time to buy weapons, they refused us.

There's the gay thing.
There's the support for Buhari.
There's a whole lot other ideological reasons why people of the SuperSouth(SE+SS) would rather support a Trump Presidency.

This article is a reaction to the discharge and acquittal of all the suspects involved in the brutal murder of 75 year old Bridget Agbaime for alleged blasphemy.
