blisher, Omoyele Sowore; and a former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki , despite court orders.The minister said the constitution gives the government the right to appeal court orders to the level of the Supreme Court.
When asked if this was what happened in the cases of Dasuki and Sowore, the AGF said, “There were applications for setting aside orders; there were appeals for stay of execution all through. So, until those matters reach the Supreme Court and it takes the final decision, relating there, you are still operating within the ambit and context of rule of law.”
The AGF stated, “Perhaps I need to clear the air on how the rule of law operates within the context of the Nigerian constitution. We have multiple and a plethora of judicial decisions that establishes a fact that when you are challenging a court order through a judicial process, the idea of disobedience to that court order does not arise.
Rather, the DSS, through its spokesman, Peter Afunnaya, gave several reasons for about a month, some of which included that his lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana , refused to come to take his bail or that the agency would only release him to a surety.
Is only in Nigeria that you can hear this no wonder people call Nigeria Zoo
Tragedy of leadership in the house of justice
When a Government is afraid anything can happen....you can detained ur captives as long as you are in power and also release such person with fear. Congratulations.
If were PMB, I would I 'll ask your to resign with immediate effect for inciting Nigerian citizen against the presidency despite claim to have belatedly obey court order.
Is this really an AG or a dangerous nuisance
That didn't answer we. NIGERIANS.
I feel Malami can let us know there wright that is above the law, has there government suspend the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria?
With due respect I think you have brain tumor sir Did you think we are still in a military ERA? Well am not surprised, that's what a nation faces when trivial people are found in the corridor of power
Mumu
Follow follow lawyer?
Of course your administration lawlessness has no boundaries.
Intelligent fool is talking.
Yes because you're headed by a lawless man
Bros i no know wetin you dey smoke Ooo, but i swear e dey work.
How many of you? Are you qualifying yourself as WE? Help me tell him to think right... Time is not on your side...
Reallh
The 1999 constitution was drafted by lawyers for the Military to use to enslave Nigeria. So I see the Lawyers and Judiciary as the cause of all the problems faced by Nigerians today from bad governance to corruption.
There we go again!
Hmmmm
Can't expect less in a country where Babalawo almanjiri became CJN.
Can't expect less in a country where Babalawo almanjiri became CJN
Then why did you release them?
Malami, however, stated that the decision to release Dasuki and Sowore recently was not based on any international pressure but the prerogative of mercy. Hello sir, it's that prerogative of Mercy that will kee you there.... rubbish.
Ogbeni you don't!
eastunltd Quota system SAN
This guy lacks elementary knowledge of the Nigerian Constitution and the rule of law. He has no business serving Nigerians as an Attorney General and Minister of Justice.
Happy New Year to everyone. Are you always being embarrassed seeing wall geckos, mosquitoes, spiders, rodents, bed bugs and the likes in ur houses n surroundings? We at Olubade Enterprise got u covered. Send a tweet or call 08084114059
Take faith then Malami, trusting a regime shall come that will hold you arbitrarily too, in spite of court orders
So why did you release them ?
Oga u are high....
.. 'despite court order'... I'm not surprised anyway.
Yeah...you have the right to be lunatics.
I hope he is not traveling abroad in the mere future. People that, deliberately abuses Human Rights and the Rule of Law should be ban from traveling to civilised countries.
This is AGF making this statement... How would the common man survive or what will the common man do if the AGF is making this claim after court order... RespectCourtOrder RespectRuleOfLaw NewYearChallenge
Hmmmmm
This is a supposed SAN talking just look at. SMH
We are in a jungle...
That is hate speech
What have beginning will surely have the end ..let them fingers the integrity of the judiciary now ..the time is coming that monkey go go market ,e no go return
Oga AGF, very soon it will be your turn to face justice too
Am still on Christmas nigga, talk to you later
And it took FOUR years for all those application to the supreme Court.... SMH
U don mad sha
Charge and bail lawyers in control of the legal system of government. Wetin we go do?
This man must go to jail, you have rights above our laws, what nonsense!
The Hague will be your next abode at the demise of thid regime.
Hope you save this your comments well, so u don't say you didn't say it, because by next government, when u are behind bars, we would remind u that they have right to violate your right
They are all uneducated
Rada rada
You are ignoramus black orangutan, you lack knowledge about judiciary, despite the fact that you were installed as AGF chairman with cronyism. You and your principal were flaunting court order the way you guys like. Time shall tell
Brigadier General Malami in ganja mood... This thing will not stop surprising Nigerians with his arekereke referencing junto with junta politics... Nigeria is a joke
Did he passed through law school or was called to bar through quota system?
Then why did you secure their release after receiving American order? Zancen banza
At least even if their close friends and associates DNT advise these numskulls, won't their children talk sense into their empty father's heads? I pity their kids because these dents won't go away that easily, it will sure rubbish their lineage.
NigerianBar is this without no consequence?
This man is a disgrace.. Please,.. Are we in a 🍌 banana republic! Please FG should stop flaunting Court orders!
Is unfortunate that the speech is from a Senior advocate of Nigeria. That bridging the rule of law is correct? That is wat he meant.
This man only makes sense to mentally challenged people
Then you don't respect the rule of law.. Mad man.
What do you expect from a Malam?
OrionYKay He's just a symptom of a defective law, which empowers a crooked govt. Shikena. The law needs to be fixed before weeding out dis mfuckers. As a lawyer, I gave up on d Nigerian Judiciary a long time ago. U see all dis old and kettle looking sans & AGs are compromised since 70 AD.
Hear devilish illiterate talk from that foolish SAN
If PDP win next presidential election I m sorry to say that Mr Malami you're fire in Vince McMahon voice..
Awon 'Above The Law' kind of people. Smh!!!
Sharia SAN
Law in nigeria is asshole
Thank God you had, but you have lost it abi?
Like seriously ! Oga San
What he is saying is that they are above law lo ba tan bai ,even president trump bowed to law
A court order (right or wrong) remains valid and binding until it is set aside. An application to set aside or an appeal to stay execution is no justification. The only exception is where a party is held in contempt and the party is challenging the order.
Can someone tell this man to stop talking? I could see from his continuous statement that he is pained that their hands were forcefully twisted to release Dansuki and Sowore by the US legislators...
Whoever made you SAN made a mistake, in fact that you are a lawyer is an abuse of the profession, can you just hear yourself saying you have rights to disobey the rule of law, it’s a shame to Nigeria justice system.
Even Marlian president knows law more than this Malami. What kind of Malami is this?
Everybody has said my mind already. But Malami, or whatever his name was, is a shame to legal profession. Hold them despite Court order because they're nylon bag abi? Rubbish!
Punch going for the jugular
No you dont, dumbo
The rule of law have been trampuled on, permit me to say or simply put that the law is for the poor but the rich are above the law.
He is talking absolute drivel. This man is the chief law officer.
This one na druggie na. A king can only choose his subjects subject to his level of wisdom.
Are you planning re-arrest
Keep on with travesty of Justice. Just a homily reminder, that one day the chicken will come to roost.

The juduthciary been scraped off her hair since and naked is she... Someday you'd understand that power is owned by the people. Over bugotry dey blind una.
When you leave office, you be held unlawfully too. Keep sowing the seed of constitutional disobedience. A Yoruba proverb says 'lala that goes up...will soon come down.
Product of quota system..... Not surprised...
Malami, however, stated that the decision to release Dasuki and Sowore recently was not based on any international pressure but the prerogative of mercy.
Motherfucker finally saying it as he oughta... Worry not....
What are you trying to get out of it?
Because you're running a separate government inside a government rule of law means nothing to fulani govt. Madness
That is called rule of law. Keep exposing yourself to the world
Punch Newspaper editorial is absolutely correct! This is a military regime in mufti. God will safe Nigeria like He did severally in the past. This will not be an exception!
I do not understand why.....
This man is constantly on hard substance
I have exhausted the adjectives needed to qualify these morons in public places. I have invectives rather which I will use with bile. They are indecent Animals!
He would soon have his cake. He has disgraced the judiciary arm of the govt. I would recommend the body of judicial council NJC to revoke his license as a qualified legal practitioner. His talk is an evidence that we are under a dictator. The nassnigeria should take action
Then why the courts.?
Every appointee in this government has a questionable character.
Is this guy truly a SAN? What kinda breed or specie is this guy?
UUzochukwu86 I am so disappointed. I am truly disappointed
This one too is a learned colleague Kontinue
If his explanations is what the constitution says, then the action is justified.
Good development, I Iike it.
Weed smokers in Government!
Pls shut up
Unbelievable! I'm disappointed!
SAN affidavit MalamiSan
U guys are still talking? U r contradicting urselves after all d adulations you got for doing d right thing. Pls follow our cases diligently & if d courts so wish then jail nt only them bt also d other criminals all over d land! That's what we want, nt a govt dt disobeys d law.
Power is transient! Adoke didn’t know he would end up in EFCC detention room. When God put you in a position like this, don’t misuse it.
How? Can you please educate green wigs like us.
Power will change hands. Remember dasuki was once in power. Let that sink in.
When the law becomes subjugate, the order becomes savagery & barbarism. Under an ABUSED Forum shopping from judicial jurisdictions in Nigeria, the “legality of detention” was still lost for the detainee. The loss of proof (substantiative evidence) continues to cost the country.
Then let us declare Nigeria an enclave of jungle justice.
How did this man ever become a SAN, it must be via quota system.
People like Malami are errand boys who make Nigeria look pitiable in the comity of nations. APC is a joke without any iota of respect for human rights and rule of law
Werey
I really don't understand this , is this man really a lawyer ? See the type of people misleading the President !!!...?...
Oshisco!!
MalamiSan - For the umpteenth time, you are the AG of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. You are NOT the Personal Attorney for Major General MBuhari or the NGRPresident. Read your job description and grow a spine, FFS! Stop acting like a fool and making a mockery of yourself🤬🤬
This is 2020, can't you just focus on reporting real happening in the country, like economy, budget implementation and move away from this rubbish. Keep the citizen focused.
Shame to have this at the apex of our judicial system. The rule of law is the absolute and the courts and the upholders, don’t come giving flimsy excuses, obey the rule of law, there’s no other law asides that
MalamiSan - For the umpteenth time, you are the AG of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. You are the Personal Attorney for NOT Major General MBuhari or the NGRPresident. Read your job description and grow a spine, FFS! Stop acting like a fool and making a mockery of yourself🤬🤬
Goat! Pls define rule of law n tell me if anyone is above the law?
Just negodu Attorney General...
Let me just reluctantly believe punch is blackmailing Malami or FG as usual. Cos this statement doesn't add up even if he gave me an open cheque.
What a step to dictatorship.
Presidential rights. When you give miscreants power, this is what you get
The result of affidavit
If I call you monkey now people will say new year... Please of what use is court if its orders will not be obeyed?
Junkie audio SAN
Absolutely right
Tyranny still running in they blood in 2020
Yes you are negatively right cos you have reduced the power of the court to be mere image. I am sure the president isn’t aware you are making his administration unpopular.
Nnamdi Kanu has not disobeyed the court becoz his lawyer is filling to Supreme Court. Saraki can take back his property seized by FG,Diezani needs her jewelry back from FG bcoz her lawyer is heading to Supreme Court. Kalu should have resisted arrest coz case not yet Supreme Court
the internet never forgets
How this man became a Senior Advocate of Nigeria should be questioned. A Chief Law officer cannot be this convenient in defending and justifying tyranny and lawlessness. He is a shame to the legal profession.
That's very true going by Sharia Constitution 👍
I really dont know why AGF Malami hasn't been disbarred by now. If this is not bringing his profession into disrepute I dont know what else could.
Lmao, this man is a SAN oh
Ooooo what a shame....
What suddenly happened to the right you had? I know sha...fear of the world police.
So you are now greater than the law of the land?
This our justice minister, time has come to scrutinize his NBA credentials.
Mumu
When one who has reached apex of Law Profession speaks like this, defending tyranny and height of Insensitivity, i feel like gouging out my eyes for ever reading such a piece from him. God will help u to interpret and defend every horrible deeds today but don't forget ur actions
Until this happens
Rubbish pple
They will soon carry all of u to International Court of Justice. Una think say na inside Nigeria everything start and end
How can anyone defend disobeying court order
And this guy is a lawyer?
You are not held accountable thats why you an say nonsense
This man is a product of bad system,him n d CJN r d worst of their sets yet they emerge to hold this high offices. We r a goner.
(applying for variation of court orders or appealing judgements) , malamis point was based on this above statement....
And where did you derived that right from? I pity you
Our CJN is a disgrace! Gani Fawehinmi will be turning in his grave
From a lawyer, SAN, justice minister of Nigeria. Nigeria, see your life!😢😭
That's a balderdash! Even as Writer and NOT a lawyer, I know you have no rights and no government should have the right to disobey a court order! You may file fresh charges, but you must first obey the court order! MBuhari Who is AGF Shehu Malami? I just wonder😂
All this cow brain in position of power, what do we expect as a citizens the best thing is the separation of Nigeria, so the Northern can do wat ever they want for themselves. This is so embarrassing for AGF of a country saying this no respect for the rule of law.
interpretation clause “We” team government. Shocking how a man who was appointed to administer justice to all, in-fact a legal officer will sideline the judicial and align with the government. What a country.
These are semi illiterate beings who are beneficiaries of nepotism. Someone should educate him on what rule of law is.
How on earth did he become a SAN?
Then why do we have courts? Why do you take people to court? Just arrest anyone and do as you please, one day your tenor will end and what goes around comes around just remember that power and position are transient and not permanent.
Saddest note I have ever read online. I progress 2020 beyond the negativity of Nigeria / Nigerians approach to making the country work.
Nigerians can you see your chief law officer?We warned you about Buhari and his cohorts but everyone got carried away with change.Can you see the change now?😳😳😳🤲
THIS IS WHY YOU LOOK FOOLISH IN THAT YOUR OFFICE AND PARDON ME,YOU AINT FIT FOR YOUR POSITION!!I AM IN MY HOUSE,COME AND BEAT ME😏😏😏
Have always been saying this 'that this man is sick and mad to head a parastatal in this country, how I wish he reads through our comments.... Like seriously you dey craze.
Such a statement can only emanate from a non learned person or a fake SAN. This man must av bought his way through while studying law. Olodo AGF
Your days will come
I understand that Malami is a drug addict.
LegalNaija NigBarAssoc this is the point to stand up and be counted. Even if you will not do anything, take a stand! Since most Nigerians do not have law degrees and our interpretations of this blasphemy against the Nigerian constitution may be wrong, educate us!!!
So funny 😂😂😂😂
MalamiSan what are you upholding The rule of law that you swear to uphold or the nepotism policy of your dictator Nigerialawyers NigBarAssoc the judiciary seems to be the weakest arm but you have to show them the stuffs you are made of& the reason for separation of power.
Tell that to oga US
O TI FA IGBO 😀😀😀😀. ELENU PEYEPEYE
I see your very sick..... Your turn is coming soon watch it
What a pity!
What is democracy? I need someone to help me out here please
Is like we have forgotten the law which gives the right for investigation into different count charge's. They can do that on fresh allegations.
Please re-arrest them. Four years will soon be over and u guys will be tried for sabotaging the rule of law in Nigeria. Truly power intoxicates
And where is that in the Nigerian constitution. And certianly bowing to international pressure. You people are just full of shit!
Na Wa.
Nigerians come and hear your Attorney General. This guy should be forced to resign, debarred and have his SANship withdrew..
Na turn by turn. E go reach una turn 1 day
Idiot
I'm not surprised on his statement because he lacks the knowledge of English law ,he passed out from Arabic school of thought(makaranta). Before his appointment as a minister.
When an Idiot is the AGF....These are the people advising the president.
This man needs to be sanctioned for this statement. Na this kind people Dey take money runs school certificates.
Nigeria is finished. No surprising news anymore. Just keep fooling
So why did you release them? mteeeeeew 🙄
Crazy man. It will still get to your turn. Don't complain when it's your turn.
tajudine2013 See mumu one letter from US you wanted to pee
In a sane society, this man should have been stripped of his SAN title. Where did he study law from?
When Nigerians Take laws into their hands, they will call them Bandits and Militants. We are watching. Soon Nigeira will be too for all of us.
I certainly blame the Judiciary. NBA. Do we have 3 arms of Government like we were told..?
Try it again and Trump will deal with you.Mtchewwww
tohadidas So court has no supreme power in this country?
Very unfortunate statement. The Nigerian Bar Association should as a matter of urgency fish something about this. Can't believe a Laser graduate could utter these statements. Most unfortunate
Behold a drunk AGF people tend to forget history so fast. Instrument of a dictator.
I know that right. In the jungle.
Such right is an infringement on Sowore human rights even after the Court ordered his release. Any other rights against Court order is an abuse of human rights.
A govt of lalwlessness! It is well known in law that until a higher court sets aside the judgement of a lower court, the orders of the lower court is binding on all parties. The new definition of the rule of law by this regime is archaic and based on jaundiced democratic ethos.
Does any Nigeria institution have power over the Constitution of Nigeria?
Just_ByGod You guys can't go without talking about sowore.
Black market SAN
You are just a local man for saying this trash
Just embarrassing and stupid.
This man should resign immediately he is unfit for the position. The chief security officer who supposes to be nonpartisan and interpret the constitution is saying this jargon, those of us who are not lawyers understand better than he does. FOOL
This half baked lawyer/AGF is a megalomaniac ,powered with ignorance and fulani tyrannical instinct.Such a shameful claim by a so called lawyer?
The court has the rights & had discharged both men Any other rights you were exercising is personal & not Nigeria law It's a shame that you are boasting about dictatorships smh
The best AG Nigeria has produced over the years. He knows his duties and stick to them
Just hear what an attorney general of d federation is saying? KAi! This statement is just unfortunate and it’s so sad!!
Can you imagine. Keep digging your own grave...
Mr man please go and sleep. You have both right and left to hold them because of wickedness in your heart. What was their offense?
So why did you leave them? Did your right suddenly turn to your left?
Behold our leaders 🎉
Who made this man SAN?
Punch newspaper was right all along when they said hirelings and appointees of this current dark REGIME have refused to shed the garbage cloak of despotism which they adorn...
Malami...you are a confused man, I repeat, Confussion has filled your guts MalamiSan
Only dictators have such right.unless u telling everyone DT we are in a dictatorship....
And what is rule of law...zoo is zoo..must fall
Abeg is supplying Malamud crack?.... the person has got the best crack money can buy 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
As what Exactly? And for what reason.?
Lol... This man is already changing ringtone.
His waec and certificates are questionable
Don’t worry, sha your tenure and that of Buhari will finish, then the next government will do the same thing that you did to other people. When you start complaining, then I will remind you of today’s news
What do you expect from a puppet & sycophant like MalamiSan whose recklessness, fascism, tyranny and despotism is becoming so shameful and disgraceful to Nigeria. U shouldn't have released him now since u hv the exclusive rights to hold YeleSowore & others. Don't worry continue
Silly Advocate of Nonsense (SAN) Aggravated Generational Fool (AGF) I'm not surprised at all.
Can malami AGF go bk to read proper law so he can get it right so he can stop disgracing that position
I like Punch alot, because when you want to see alot of wailers just come right here you will find them buku. Radarada
I am not worried when they make such statement, internet never forget, one day it will be them on the other side, they can be in power forever.
This is a shame, if u have right to hold on to them while take them to court at all. Nigeria is not a banana republic.
Is a high time world leaders overcome this pranks, and learn to always submit themselves to the rule of law to take it's cause, prolonged trial exposes the inhumane and cruel nature of man.
This theft call himself AGF? Judiciary is useless under buhari govt, AGF and buhari don't have respect for the rule of law...What a terrible govt 👎 where is Dadiyata?
Educated illiterate
Can’t you see you are nonsense, why did you release them.
This is the level they have taken this country to now. One day it will come to an end
Why then, did you release them, despite several refusal to obey court orders to release them on bail?
Welcome to the Zoo
Very funny indeed, hope you will be glad if you are served with the same cup.
Malami said this and DSS said that. You just have to wonder if these people represent two different Nigerias...
Leadership is the major problem of this country. It's so so obvious.
Yawn🙄
With multiple concoctions, statements become disjointed
They don start again oooo iam_TUNADEZ Sharpshaben
APC Fulani federal government they are very angry because of the intervention of USA that made them to do imaginable regarding Yele case and dasuki
This man must be really mad!! For 2020 u still dey talk like this .
Did d AGF say that detainees were released by exercising d prerogative of mercy or press coined this? Bcz both cases r still ongoing..releasing peeps so that they can spend Xmas at home is not exercise of that privilege..
This MalamiSan needs a brain test. Why did you release YeleSowore? You say is compassion! You must be an idiot. Please we don't need to hear from you. I can't wait for MBuhari to leave office, his crew are just bunch of regards. I try not to read headlines about them.
It is so so unfortunate that minister of justices will be saying this type thing to the world this shows that this Govt has failed woefully in all ramifications.
I really envy your level of Highness
All this noise is pointless, you should have continued to detain them! Shameless bunch
We have seen his type before. Remember Akpamgbo under Abacha and Andoakaa during Yar Adua. Malami is a poster boy for dictatorship. When the government becomes lawless, shrinks the democratic space for dictatorship anarchy is the result
The problem with this idiot is that he talks to much
May the same reasons be used to judge you....
Sorry to say this sir, you need a clinical psychologist to check your head.
I can't believe this, is this the person we called the AGF ? Quite disappointing.
deuceslamba ....... Wonders shall never end..... All dis ones go cry after 2023
Seriously!!! 😐
He never said this before, not even before NASS during his confirmation. So, he's just come up with this crap. Malami's LLB Certificate should be investigated. A bail order is complied with the moment the Accused satisfies the bail conditions. Who taught this guy law abeg?!
Malami or Malamu, whatever! What happened to your training as a lawyer to uphold the law and value the provision of the constitution. Even if you are working under a dictator common sense is required.
It took you 4yrs plus to appeal Dasuki's Case
Umm...Because this is Nigeria where the courts are in your pocket. And the rule of law is a ruse. Haba! This house has fallen!
Who are the 'we' Sir?
He said it was a common misconception that all court orders must be obeyed immediately. Abubakar malami. So many news from your quarters we learnt that you swiftly realeased those jail bound persons and you tellling us a diffnt thing these morning please stop embrassing the law
🤡😅
You had the right but you don't have it again, if you think you still have it then go and hold him. Don't worry you will soon loose all the right you ever have.
This one is high ... Is this a Lawyer at All?
Let's have a culture of reading, understanding before concluding. He said 'The minister said the constitution gives the government the right to appeal court orders to the level of the Supreme Court'. Which makes sense. State can appeal courts decision.
Then you are above the law invariably that's the only way to explain it
What you have said today is saved in my archive to be used against in the court of law tomorrow.
NadisNwodo fresh batch of palm wine.
Worst attorney general ever!
I wonder why this man hasn't been stripped off his SANship, a figure of incompetence and misconduct being reappointed as AGF by an incompetent leader like BUHARI is a great disaster to the JUDICIARY arm of this REGIME. Wen u hav baboons as leaders, everywhere looks like a jungle.
Stupid
In other words, fcuk them courts
Did this iguana attend a primary school?
What a fool
Hope the man is educated,does he know what we call the rule of law.
A mad man is mad man
Does he drink brukutu?
Is Malami not mad like this?
Idiot. Why didn't you say so a week or so ago?
And this is actually written in the constitution🤔🤔
Nigeria is in the hands of the most incompetent guys among us
Then why did you release them? Does your purported mercy now work in tandem with the US Senates' sneeze? You are all a disgrace to whatever represents the law. You ought to be stripped of your SANship.
I wonder what's he on
🤣🤣🤣🤣 why dont you not tell america this when they wrote you a letter to released them?
So Malami was using 4 yrs to apply for an appeal or to apply for a variation of a court order or to apply for a stay of execution, 4 yrs! Yet you did none of these in 4 yrs but released the man on bail! This man & the govt he represents are robustly inefficient, lazy & wicked!
No, you don’t have the right to hold anyone that the court of the land has ordered to be released. You have the right to appeal the court’s order; that’s all the right you have. The president and his men are not above the law if the rule of law is to be maintained.
Why should you released them?please help us arrest them again if you are not afraid of external forces? Weak government.
A SAN for that matter
Brilliant reason but inapplicable in the context of Sowore's case where the bail conditions were varied and met to the satisfaction of the court but disobeyed by the DSS on spurious grounds.
Malami keep making irresponsible and reckless statements. Should the rule of law be suspended in view of disobedience to court orders?
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
This man,this is a new year,don't bring this madness into a new year.judiciary is another arm on govt,when they release a suspect ,u have no right to detain. Its high time u guys stopped this madness
You got to be kidding ,trying to justify your unlawful kidnapping & detention of Dasuki &Sowore,absolutely ridiculous,& you call yourself a SAN, you must have bought your SAN,no serious legal mind will disobey a court order anywhere in the world,unless you are in a dictatorship
Attorney general saying it boldly they disrespected and disregarded rule of law of the country, what other explanation do you need to tell you tyranny is in power
This cant be right. An Atty-Gen cannot say this.

This guy should just shut up already. The FG had no right to keep holding people that had been granted bail. I don't know what kind of SAN he is. His position is clearly untenable. He's trying to save face.
AGF Malami is vry correct. The constitution empowers thm to seek a stay of execution if they disclose special circumstances for it to be favoured. Thr are also other reasons why stay of execution cn be exploited by the govt Hold your lawmakers to account. Fix the constitution
I don't think his staff is well ok, with this kind of thought
Typical Nigeria minister
Dear Nigerians, Let's ask first this guys resignation Asap
Haarduke orlawruphemi what do you guys think? I need a lawyer's perspective on this. Please do read the article abeg 🙏
Sometimes it's just better to be quiet.
Not all court order must be obeyed hummmmm
Must DSS tell punch? Why didn't punch ask? They were busy writing to cover the envelope.
Mr Malami... Mr above the law... Need to be expelled by NigBarAssoc PaulUsoroSAN
Power is transient. It is turn by turn. When your time comes you shouldn't cry for rule of law to take effect because then, they will have the right to hold you and this regime, despite court orders.
This is not the best time to belong to Law profession.
An agency created by law claiming to be above the law of the land.
In years to come, Peter Afunnaya's offspring would ask, how he was not embarrased to defend Buhari and Malami. I mean, you don't even need to be intelligient to conclude that the AGF does not know the law Yet, some would soil their name defending this.
If you, as a lawyer talk in this manner, it shows you are not well informed and lack the quality to be in charge of the legal system. Your speech is a betrayal to the law and the justice system.
And when you talk now, NBA would be claiming this one is one of them cus if not, by now that SAN thing should have been removed or collected back from him, I don't even understand how they get that SAN thing cus Virtually all the SAN & most professors in this regime are sh*t!
Before nko, attorney general of banana republic of Nigeria. You're a disaster to the law profession.
Mr. Malami I thought this illegality ended with 2019. Remember you have less than fours years to stand down according to your principal.
I wonder y such statement will come out of a man like dis.
Shameful you couldn't reserve your rights to holding them and had to let them do. It's painful right?
Please go and hold them again
We have come to a stage where the SGF should be ignored on matters of law. When he says something do the opposite. That's where PMB and his gang have led us. It's a mighty big shame.
According to him, enforcement of a court order can be delayed by an appeal. Malami did not tell us if the judgements were appealed. We should keep ranting/wailing/shouting until the government is forced to do the right thing
You should have said that to the American team.
How did malami became a SAN I believed it is through Quota system
More people will be held by this beast of no nation government in 2020. Just listen to this affidavit devil's advocate.
I want Supreme Court through the office of CJN to invite MoJ&AG for Summon to clarify his unguided statements on detention not for Dasuki's & Sowore's case to the public.
Malami is a National disgrace and he got his law degree and SAN title should be investigate.
Toilet paper 😂
Yeah but the fear of USA won't allow you to do that
The most dangerous Attorney General in Nigeria’s history
Nonsense! So the executive arm is independent of other arms, there would have been no reason for presenting Budget to the National Assembly! Lawless Government! Just small message wey U.S guy send, fear wan kill the lawless govt
What a disgrace. Obviously, this guy don't merit his position. Unfortunately, people like him passed through education without letting the education pass through them. Very disappointing statements from Malami. He lack understanding of the subject matter.
Where is the provision in the constitution?
nigeria is a lawless country rule by terrorists sponsoring individual,
If this guy does not face Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee sooner or later, then the profession can as well cease to exist. Utterances like this from an SAN are clearly politically motivated. It's such a shame
Please pardon my ignorance o, is Malami a lawyer?, I even hear he is even a senior advocate. nothing wey we no go hear for dis sai baba time for Nigeria
What do you expect, when the country foundation was laid without the concept of anybody in Nigeria, when the Northerners can tamper with the country constitutions and insert Sharia without the knowledge of the Nigerians.
In other words, you are bigger that the law...
On technical ground abi? Onigbo!
That's how fools and anarchists think
Nigeria is a big joke. Who made this cretin a SAN? I had to read the whole editorial to get a glimpse of what he was trying to explain. This is crap. Court orders must be obeyed and if need be to challenge, you go ahead without disobeying the previous order.
Karma is real
Attorney General and SAN!!!! May history be kind to you
Really sad that the chief legal officer of the land can so say such things with gallantry As far as the constitution is concerned courts decisions [orders & judgements] are binding unless overturned by an appeal or held by a stay order His explanations is misleading at best
Imagine he leaves office and his client has such a case with FG will he still say the same
It is not surprising that we now have Senior Advocate of Nuisance,in our legal administrative hierarchy, espousing venoms of unreasonable pronouncements against the order of the Courts. In a sane clime,he would have been stripped of his privilege. Nonsense!
We re in a REGIME so anything goes
When appointment is not on merit that is what that meant to happen 🤷♂️
Now they do not trust the COURTS judgement and prefers pity and mercy
This man is mad.
Lets just know that live is turn by turn.
They are greater than the law of the land.
When the executive trauncates the rule of law the judiciary watches helplessly. I pity the likes of Abukakar malami,festus keyamo and Isay sagays that work for this govt. One day this monster(lawlessness) will come after them. Tanko Mohammed inclusive.
What do you mean by prerogative of mercy. you guy are busy abusing your office you're now using grammar to back it up oga your turn will come
You could imagine the language of the infidel; SAN for nothing! Just hear a SAN trampling on the rule of law and shamelessly stating that their regime had the right to hold Sowore and Dasuki in spite of Court orders for their release. He deserves to be stripped of his SANship.
Lol those are the set of men who are bigger than the rule of law in the country they are clearly above the law
reading through his points im just disappointed, its better if he just let the issue rest and really not respond to questions on it anymore because the more he tries to justify the actions the more bad it looks. AGF just let this go
The NBA should immediately strip him of his SAN & Disbar him, is he not aware that the judiciary is a co-equal branch of government? This is how impunity has entered him & he has forgotten the law he studied. MalamiMustResign 😬😡😡
And tomorrow you'll tell me you have sense...
Since there is no rule of law, that makes bigger than the law.
It's a shame
NEXT LEVEL IMPUNITY,Bros remember oo. if they told DASUKI he can be held like this some years ago he may not believe
Can you imagine a so called lawyer saying this? I didn't study law, but I know very well in a sane Cline, he would be forced to resign for making such a statement in a Democratic country, you are saying you a govt appointee have more power than our constitution?
Attorney General is dragging the tyranny title with the Major General.
Are you sure you are a lawyer with this statement you made, disobeying court order simply means you have no regards for the rule of law in a democratic government.....No democracy without respect to the rule of law.
Here we go again !!!
Now we know where Buhari is getting is advice from...
In the constitution of his village, abi?
NigBarAssoc hear your Attorney General 👆👆👆
Then where is your right coming from if it's outside the dispenser of the law which is what the court is. You are becoming too pedestrian and clownish to deserve any response.
And this is coming from Attorney General of the Federation - Malami? Is this not an approval that court orders can be trashed by anyone hiding under the executive arm? Judiciary are their own enemy and the weakest link on the chain of rule of law.
SHAME on this Government for Uttermost DISRESPECT for the Rule of Law and Court Ruling.
Pls wat type of right is that? Legal or illegal right?
No sir you don't! Unless they were never appeared in a court of competent jurisdiction.
If nt 4 Buhari's nepotistic policy dt propelled u 2 limelight as AGF whoever knew ds tin,since he hd nw reached hs Olympian height y wouldn't he nw throw mud at Nigerians at every available opportunity justifyg d unjustifiable
Some of this people in power today thinks they will be in power forever. Keep setting bad precedence, tomorrow it may be your turn and then you will reap the injustice seed of disobedience to court orders
Malami my guy... You're doing well...
The fear of US...
Rubbish
You guys have no shame
Of St
”''''6*7'' do fwew za added CD a arrested era see jcuroks
Hmm... And the General just finished yakking about obeying the rule of law just yesterday 🤔
When the law says free, you have no rights to say no. The law is what guides us, not what u think.
Part of the good qualities of a 'good' govt official is the ability to lie well. You represent a lying institution. If you think you had the right to hold them you should have tried it & see the terrible consequence from the foreign power that asked for their release.
Where is your right without the law of man and nature? This man is must have sort his way out of law school.
You have zero right. You are only a shameless student to your teacher
Where exactly does that right flow from?
We gone past this topic, whatever the new agenda is, make it clear, don't use past tense to distract us.
Very true as per se naija is a banana republic so carry on
Haaaa,Bad lawyer sha.OK,which court of appeal declared stay of execution on their release?
Mumu
MalamiSan so what are the reasons for their release?
So DSS is above the judiciary And Malami is above the Judge. Yeye dey smell..
Fulani has killed Nigeria with their feudal way of life.
This government has no shame at all. You host and feit Boko Haram commanders and fighters yet see peace loving citizens as insurgents and criminals. You deny arresting Jones Abiri but produce him after 2 years. You deny holding onto Dadiyatta yet your statement says otherwise
Salami it doesn't matter what you think, you have no right.
Tyrants and Herdsmen have taken over the Judiciary too.
The double speaking goon, is an enemy of the rule of law.
These quota-system twerps keep taking us to the medieval period. We are really in tough mess in this country.
Nawa o
I don't expect AGF to talk like this again this new year, okay tell us what does law mean to you as the custodian of general rule of power designated.
Ogu kee u
You won't be in power forever, there's a time limit
He is in Government and talking tommorow he won't and when such happens to him let him not complain o
But Sir, is not too late......
You guys also have the right to stop deceiving the people by calling it a Democracy. Get that dullard a Military Uniform and call it the Junta it is.
Stop embarrassing this country now😐
What right supersede court order? Are the 'We' which includes you, above the law? Do you know your onions?
Wi wi wi wi will you keep quite?
Malawi or whatever you call yourself, You have no right to hold anyone after court order
What right? Don't worry one day it will be your turn.
I guess they know the law more than the lawyers now ...lawless leaders YeleSowore
What happen to the right then
