They described the attempt by some state governors, who have threatened to use security agents to embark on house-to-house search to recover the stolen items as illegal.

Human rights lawyers have said no governor had the legal or statutory power to invade or barge into homes of citizens under the guise of looking for looted COVID-19 palliatives.

He said,"If governors are saying that people have looted government properties one thing becomes clear, looting without permission is a criminal offence. So, no state government can simply take the law or result to self-help and barge into the homes of these people allegedly searching for so-called looted properties.

Ozekhome added that it was shameful for the government to tell the world that people have looted palliatives, which was funded by tax payers’ money. "They were hoarding these items so that later they will rebrand them and put their pictures as their logos particularly for the 2023 elections that are coming up.”

Do we have a working judiciary system

No Nation on earth refers to her citizens as 'miscreants / criminals' irrespective of their actions / mental state. Only Nigeria leaders does this. The dysfunctional system of Nigeria /leadership style, creates 95% social miscreants among the Youths annually EndSars. Retweet.

They can search all they like, but when the next revolution comes, they will not remain on seat to do the searching

They go house to house in search of looted palliative meant for the masses but failed to share palliatives from house to house for the masses when dey are hungry. What a nation indeed

To be frank, this house to house search looks and sounds somehow, what of the money meant for the masses you people are enjoying alone, has the masses search your houses? All these nonsense has to stop because other countries are watching us.

No be naija again? Abeg no comment from me. Is't not the Nigeria lawmakers will be buying Judge an expenses vehicle just to bribe them whenever they've a case in court. 😭 There was a country call Nigeria 😭

Hahahaha, how many search warrant will they need from the court? Whose name will be detailed on the warrant? This is actually a tough call but they could have done it better.

Do they obey rule of law?

They're nothing like search warrant in Nigeria ooo

If they come to your house to search. Kindly camera them as evidence n walkout, leave them inside. Approach a lawyer n meet them in court to claim damages of missing items from your house. I hate nonsense😎

Why can't they sir, have you forgotten that those governors believe they are field marshals in their states ?

Why should they even think of that? Ppl took what belong them them by the way. Or are they keeping it for 2023 campaign?

GovWike Hope you can read and understand?

This governors breaking the laws, understand your immunity will also come back to hurt you badly

What’s their problem, I thought the palliative items were meant for the citizens. We decided to eat our supper for breakfast and to celebrate Christmas in March. Food na we get, food na we eat, case closed EndSARS

You want to search peoples homes because of palliatives that was meant for them, while the main people that hoarded it in warehouses move with police escort, which way Nigeria?
