JUDGES ARREST: Northern Elder Statesmen Call For Nationwiwide REVOLT by KEVIND: 6:40am On Oct 10, 2016 |
Mixed reactions have been reported over the late Alhaji Tanko Yakassai, an elder statesman and Dr. Junaid Mohammed,and a host of other Nigerians in separate reactions decried what is happening now in Nigeria describing it as evocative of events preceding the ascension to power of the Nazi party. Yakassai called on Nigerians to rise up and resist what he called a gradual slide into fascism. He said, “What is happening now in Nigeria is reminiscent of what took place in Germany after the accession to power of the Nazi party in the 30s. It is a repeat of the same scenario of what happened to Italy, Portugal and Greece under fascist regimes in those countries. “A close look at the happening in Nigeria nowadays is frightening. It looks as if we are really sliding into fascism. We have to stop it before it becomes a monster that will consume everybody. “It is an attempt by the government to cajole the judiciary and force it to do its own bidding, particularly if the conduct is viewed against the persistent complaint by the Presidency against the judiciary, which the President once called his main headache in the fight against corruption.” Dr Junai Mohammed on his part said that the DSS has overstepped its authority because the laws of the land permit the DSS to adding that it was not out of place for judges, who were suspected of committing criminal offences, to be arrested. He said, “However, I am uncomfortable with the DSS taking over the role of the EFCC when it comes to the anti-corruption fight. This is because the EFCC is, to a large extent, part of the police force. In fact, it is like the Special Branch of the police but the DSS is not.’’ Ajulo said as a legal practitioner, he believed in the rule of law, adding that getting rid of corrupt judges from the system must follow proper procedure. He explained that no arm of government constantly reviewed itself like the judiciary. Ajulo stated, “I support that corrupt judges should be investigated and dealt with accordingly but it should be done with decency without bringing the bench to disrepute or ridicule.’’ http://dailyglobewatch.com/index.php?url=2016%2F10%2Fjudges-arrest-tension-in-aso-rock-as-northern-elder-statesmen-call-for.html#.V_r1a4mArzE.facebook 2 Likes |

Even reasonable Northerners knows that this is not good. It is a suicidal mission on democracy. The one that pain me most is that some set of people will still foolishly support this show of shame even when... Those in South West should man up. Buhari will not kill you if you say the truth just as he didn't kill these Northerners. 2 Likes |
