Chief Onomigbo Okpoko recently called on the regime of Major General Muhammadu Buhari to probe the invasion of court by the Department of State Services to rearrest the convener of #RevolutionNow, Omoyele Sowore, in a paper presented on behalf of the Body of Senior Advocates of Nigeria.
Buhari is a human being. He should set up the judicial commission of enquiry to hear evidence in public. Those to constitute the commission will be Nigerians, and they will have their names and honour to protect so there is no reason to think Buhari will not set it up or that it will not work. Whenever the commission sits, the evidence will be there for everyone to see. So, we will be able to judge what are truths and lies. That was the basis. So, it is unfair to accuse the body of being naïve; we are not.
As far as I know, they have not made any statement of their own; we did not expect them to make any personal statements while they are serving in the government. If they disagreed with the position of the Body of SANs on the issue, maybe they would have made statements. The fact that they have not said anything to the hearing of anybody means, in my own view, that they did not oppose the position of the body.
Members of the public are not in a position to know when we hold meetings with our people. There are many avenues for holding meetings with our people. We do not have to go to the market to show that we are meeting with seniors lawyers in government; we do not have to take photographs and show them to the world to say, “Look, we met today.
Do you think the SANs in the Buhari regime should resign and not be part of a regime that lacks respect for rule of law and the judiciary? This is not a matter to which I can express my personal opinion. Buhari is the chief security officer of this country, which has about 200 million people. It is his duty to protect lives and property.
I have reservations as to whether our country is a democratic country or not. We were all alive; we saw what happened during the elections. You saw the manipulations; you saw the fight to remain in power. I think we are a little bit far from being a democratic country; we are far from democracy. The British just had an election; I saw it on television. Three minutes after the poll was closed, they were able to release the forecast as to who would win the election.
Just recently, the Vice President turned down and award from Wole Sonyika Center over Sowore's issue. The VP is always a law man that we know
The Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo is always a man of inestimable value who has respect for the rule of law.
And all Nigerians know overthrow of Gov't through revolution is unacceptable, me
Okpoko abi wetyn be this Baba's name So Osinbajo should start issuing official statements on controversial national matters even before his Boss takes a stand? Is that the way your wife talks you down in the public even before your make opinions as the Home leader?
Where is APC loud mouth fkeyamo?
They do they're immobile by their political ties
Good morning Madam.
Yes,the only problem is that those Sowore boys who invaded the chamber of the court are yet to be rounded up.
now what do you want them to do?
Then, do something. Where are d lawyers, why is everyone silent? NigBarAssoc What's happening. Will this Federal high court Abuja invasion just slide like that. No one would be punished for this even when it's obvious buhari controls the DSS? You are sinking d judiciary more👌
Nigeria is the only nation that call the VP to everything, there is clash in Borno na VP, if there is Kidnapping in Kaduna is VP. Those you think will know better self like realFFK are dead brain. There is a limit to the power of a VP, stop thinking he is as powerful as Buhari
Stay in retirement.
Who is this one again?
Of course they know, but a big rat ate their tongues.
Who be this one where was Mr Okoko last month that all this was on? Or he is just waken up from Hibernation?
They decided to turn a blind eye simply because they are on the ruling party. The reverse would have been the case if they were in the opposition camp. Ignorance at a federal level!!!
We are all blaming the SAN, but is any of them the one that gave the order, do DSS report or Answer to SAN now, are they the Chief justice now. Was the court truly invaded. We are always eager to blame people . Okpoko what will you if you were the one sir. You will sack DSS DG
Osinbajo has shown that he is with d govt purely for himself but not on integrity or as a pastor or Prof of law. Nobody to trust again except God anymore.
The action of the Vice President to reject an award during that period tell us he is not happy with that unfortunate events but then even Sowore and Falana are also to be blame but in Nig the criminals can make the law enforcement agencies look bad for doing their job
What happened in a broad day light n had a press release as the deed was ongoing shouldn't need further investigation but prosecution.
You think those who killed Jesus did so because they didn't know he was Christ?
The VP have turned down an award by the Prof. Wole Soyinka Center for investigate journalism to protest the court invasion, a respectable man by far.
The court was invaded by who?
Yes, but they sold their souls to the devil they serve, for what's not worth it.
Papa enjoy your retirement in peace.
david86uba Hunger is their Achilles Heel.
Yes. Should they not be called to question?
Yet they refused to speak the truth all because they're eating from the national pot. 😂
that is because most of our lawyers n judges are frolicking around this politicians
Did you believe that court was invaded?
Their mouth has been sealed! They no longer know what the truth.
Who invaded court?
