Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana has accused President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government of not showing enough respect for Court orders.
Falana spoke yesterday in Lagos during a public lecture on the 30th anniversary of the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights . CDHR, he explained, started in 1989 in the living room of the late Dr. Beko Ransome-Kuti, where activists gathered to strategise for the release of Femi Aborisade, who was then detained by the military junta.
He said: “I just remember this morning trying to write a letter to the Attorney-General of the Federation and I find, very painfully, that whereas the Buhari/Idiagbon regime complied with all court orders for the release of those who were held illegally under the state security detention of persons Decree No 2 of 1984, we cannot say the same today under a democratic government.
It is unfortunate that your client El-Zakzaky is a national security threat.
