Mr Ali’s position, which could trouble legal experts and rights activists, appeared as a reinforcement of the position of President Muhammadu Buhari and Attorney-General Abubakar Malami — both of whom had separately expressed their beliefs that security takes paramount importance over the rule of law.
“We want to protect our nation, we want to make sure that our people are protected. You must be alive and well for you to begin to ask for your rights. Your rights come when you are well and alive.“Go and ask the people in Maiduguri when Boko Haram was harassing their lives, the only question was survival, there is no question of right. This time Nigeria must survive first then before we begin to ask for our rights,” the Lagos-based paper cited the Customs chief as emphasising at length.
Shortly afterwards, Mr Malami, the nation’s chief law officer, also said in an interview that the government would continue to hold former national security adviser Sambo Dasuki on national security grounds.
Bro...
We deserve our leaders.
Is this debatable?
Buhari has borrowed more in the last 5 years than was borrowed in the previous 30 years but where is the money, 2 trillion just for debt serving , nobody is talking about repayment, this man has mortgaged the life of generation unborn. Where is the recovered loot
If the rule of law can't offer the citizens of a Nation any security then there is more to the nature of the suggestion for 'Security'.
Who determines what constitute this so called 'national security'?
The dumbness in Nigeria is emanating from the centre. Daura people come and carry your MCM President to his village biko.. The mumu don tire us.. 😪
Are Nigerians and Nigeria secured?
Lmaooooo Animal talk don start again
D sad part is d Nigerian judiciary, they are corrupt and tainted! That is why d executive headed by a man who ordinarily should be shamed daily in Nigeria disregard them and treats them with uttermost contempt! This useless utterance is only permissible in a dead country like 🇳🇬
Fancy that kind of talk in a so called democracy. Security and rule of law are not mutually exclusive.They go hand in hand.
Seriously I don't understand the kinda people in government today ruling the majority in this con3. 😕🤔 These people should all be put in a black Maria and taken to Iceland 🇮🇸
What do you expect from Northern idiots propelled to responsible positions by quota system education. If it's not Nanono, it's Ali or Junaid
Morons in high places
But I think, human right = security = rule of law. Nigeria my country; why?
Another empty skull 👇
ose_anenih I hope he keeps same energy the day himself, members of his family or loved ones will have their human rights taken away for security reasons. Bloody animals have taken over our govt. Thank you APCNigeria APCUKingdom for this new democracy. Hope you're all proud of yourselves
Wow! What a man!
SANs were part of the people who supported this notion when it first came from the president. Now is coming again. Please don't blame that man he is a beneficiary of the shithole.
Same argument of fascism.
But it is the rule of law that ensures security. What kind of life is this?
A round peg in a square hole.
Same security the government can't provide & the rule of law it has not and will never obey.
Customs Chief : Security More important than rule of law, human right. TRANSLATION Custom Chief: We Can do What We Want and Get Away With it. Ur Life has no Value and it's ours to take. Deal with it. We hate U Southerners with a Passion.
Sure!
Time to JAPA 🛫
When they confiscate codeine and other hard drugs they start consuming it themselves.!!
Seems this man is high on something, Is he ok?
Shit mehn bunch of autocrats in an assumed democratic government. We are screwed. No hope at all.😔
'security' has become an excuse for every nonsense behavior.
Wetin stark no go hear for winterfell
This assertion is not recognized by the Nigeria Constitution and therefore it's null and void...
These people are not normal.
Gradually they are teaching us to prepare a war against them. We are gathering in numbers because soon their military cannot stand us anymore.. my take.. few times to go.. wetakeourlandback
Maybe closed borders to frustrate the eastern importers to impoverish them. There was a country.
💔
My God! Our constitution is useless then?
Absence of rule of law begat injustice and oppression. These guys need to be reminded that injustice is a much bigger threat to National security.
God is angry with us is the only explanation I can give for this madness currently taking place in our country by our supposed leaders.
It will never be well with those that deceived Nigerians into believing Buhari is a changed man. This evil you have brought on our land shall follow you for the rest of your lives. Amen
So we are on a long thing in this country
When cattle rearers are in power seat...our president ruling with an affidavit.
😂
We will learn by force. Those who rigorously campaigned for these sets of unfortunate leaders will be the primary targets of their policies.
OK
Since they can not secure the borders they decided to close it and make themselves redundant.
I quit disagree with this, if there's rule of law been observed the citizens of a nation then there would be no insecurity issues.
Oponu, afofungbemu, alainironu okunrin.
This government keep throwing at us, bunch of morons, i wonder where Nigeria will be in the next four Years ?
Kaykaz1992
An uneditted narrative of a government aimed at marginalising voices...here we are!
What's the level of his educational qualification/s that his ignorance in law should stand over the constitution of Nigeria. These people are just crazy power drunk mongers. SupremeCourtNg did you see that? 👆
AzeezatOlaoluwa What is security without the rule of law? I laugh mhen🤦
The people on top.. Brain box loaded with lots of engine oil and coconut water
So then what shall we say to these things, if those who by law ascended the throne but on getting there say the law is a burden to the throne. The complexity of discerning democratic ideals can be quite daunting, first, the rule of law is the foundation of security 🤔
This is a wrong precedent being repeated. The legislators, the law makers have not refutted the statement. Judiciary should outlaw such a statement in liaison with NBA. Law school, law students what are you reading for
Rule of law is meant to ensure order and justice in the society. Sometimes I can't help but think that our society is governed by bunch of ileterates
Now this guy has some seriously learning to do how is security guaranteed when you do not have rule of law or does he not understand that the rule of law guarantees security operation measures in humane conditions and avoid targeting of citizens in the name of security
Nothing Onyeka no go see for warehouse
tellmarh but security is even worst-off
What exactly are the idiots securing anyway?
Birds of a feather flock together. 1966 to ....Military interregnum has reversed our Great Nigeria
Ok
Dumbo
Animal farm... I remembered learned friends applauded this when it was first made by MBuhari they were excited at the expense of their brain and core duties as noblemen. NigBarAssoc forgot its duty is to Nigeria, her institutions etc not to an individual
This is ridiculous and why is this man thinking like this and do we are have security in this country after all?
“We want to protect our nation, we want to make sure that our people are protected. You must be alive and well for you to begin to ask for your rights. Your rights come when you are well and alive.'
Does this man understand himself, can security function or perform their roles without the rule of law in the land, without the rule of law will customs be in existence. Thus anytime they are fighting for their personal ambition they always turn things the other way round
These guys just want to bury rule of law abi wetin dey happen?
I suggest the Constitution should be removed, since the foundation of any country which practice Democracy it is the supremacy of the rule of law. If the rule of law is this relegated to the background, then suspend the Constitution
Now this is becoming more glaring by the day Nigeria is really in for a whole lot
Beware of people that think this way. Fear those who openly admit it.
Corporatte_Thug Now we are getting it. We will have this sense by force.
This man is so ignorant. It's like saying that the mouth is more important than the the nose and ears, forgetting that they are all interwoven.
Just imagine this..!! These are people and more reasons we ain't moving forward. Oluwa save us now ooh😕😕😕
This man should understand that there would be anarchy, rather than security after shelving rule of law.
This fool again
He is following the script of his 'Oga at the top'.
So who is the security now meant for From attorney general now customs general!! Wtf
If them swear for us,our religious practices should be washing it away na... What sort of nonsense is this ke!!!!!
This country is a joke 😂😂😂the judiciary is now a barking dog
This the reality of the present Nigeria under this leadership.🤐🤐🤐
D man point is fact , presentation is logical. D rules of law & security assurance both are one. The rules of law is key, policy, acceptable way and manner, Global accountability to achieve governmental responsibilities and their objectives. D security & Rules of law inseparable
This statement comes from Buhari and people in his government when they want to fool everyone and take an unreasonable action. The rule of law guarantees security.The law is the custodian of everyone including the President.Don't put the cart before the horse. We aren't fools.
If Nigeria is not secure, will Investors come into the country, will farmers go to the farm and produce food you will eat? will you be writing this nonsense on top tree. National security comes first, let us secure Nigeria first. You better reset your brain quick.
National security comes first anyway.
Are you fucking kidding me? 🙆🏾♂️ Whats security without respect for human rights and rule of law We’re fully back to the years of gulags and decrees!
I still wonder why and how this people became leaders in the first place. Just maybe old age is affecting this one.
Buhari would be so proud of this guy....
Rule of law and human rights bring security. But they (dictators) wont know that.
This should be worrying every right thinking Nigerian!😳👌
MusadiqZ Supreme Court judgement —— FG vs Asari then.....
Who is this man.
I am amazed the way our leaders think.Delineating the basic or cardinal essences of statehood, and arbitrarily stating which come first and which to obey, baffles me. Even if security becomes paramount due to clear and present dangers,does it removes the essences of engagements?
Nigeria will soon find out what's coming their way.
Another misguided analogue, archaic, fossils minded individual...
Next level on full throttle
President said it first
The insecure posturing as security.force. Masking the fact that Nigeria lacks “security infrastructure “ due to neglect of “stomach infrastructure “ of the supposed security/insecurity forces. It’s a thin line.
This is an unfortunate statement from CustomsNG boss. There's no security without the rule of law or human rights. Without laws we become lawless. Unfortunately, our president made a similar statement and an unfortunate precedent has been set
Show me your friend and I will tell you who you are
When illiterates are at the helm of affairs.
No wonder you people don't mind killing and locking up all the citizens all at once, so far your security is guaranteed.
How do you guarantee security without the respect for the rule of law and human rights enshrined even the United Nations constitution..
At this point, even a 10 year old can see the direction Nigeria is heading.
Not surprised the statement is coming from Hamid Ali. In July, 1997 while he was the military administrator of Kaduna, he ordered the arrest of more than 400 supporters of Sheikh Zakzaky. In August, 1997, on the orders of Hamid Ali, Malam Ali & Ahmed were arrested 1/3
Scary and sad
What then happens to the lines in the first and second stanzas of our National Anthem which says: 'One Nation bound in freedom, peace and unity' 'To build a Nation where peace and justice shall reign'.
These days everything is more important than rule of law. Can we just scrap the rule of law and go back to any-how-ness?
Songs of tyrants
There's nothing i've not heard in this country. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A very foolish statement.only a lawless person can think that way.
Just like saying security is more important than crisis.
This is what you get when you put square pegs in round tight holes
Interesting times.
Quite unfortunate that we are being ruled by set of illiterates who can not understand the important of rule of law. All things being equal, those things the custom chief is talking about are the major reason for rule of law.
Are we heading for Pol Pot's Cambodia?!
Rule of law bring justice and justice bring equity and equity ensure peace and PEACE brings SECURITY Our people said when the food is shared among everyone anger will go. If a man is robbed of justice bcs of security his anger would create insecurity
You are insane, Mr Mustapha
Most unfortunate statement. Any wonder we are where we were!
Is rather unfortunate if this is true, it seems like baboons have taken over the zoo.
Na them
Really?
I said it before that some brains need resetting in this country. How will you put something on nothing and expect it to stand? We don't want peace we want equal rights and Justice. This is the only thing that can bring peace. This is what happens when uniform turn to Agbada
This statement is highly regrettable! Also, coming from the Custom chief. SeasonOfAnarchy.
Were leleyi o. Anarchy looms!!!
