HURIWA urged the National Judicial Council, NJC, Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, and the International Bar Association, IBA, to collectively adopt constructive steps in protest against the pattern of “serial disrespect of court orders by Buhari and the State Security Service , or the Nigerian Judiciary may collapse anytime soon as litigants may think of opting for self-help measures which may unleash chaos and anarchy on a grand scale.
A statement sent to DAILY POST by the group’s National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko said external assistance was needed to rescue the judiciary of Nigeria from implosion and collapse as a result of cocktails of self-inflicted credibility problems. “We learnt from the scholarly writings of one of the retired but reputable jurists that this is the decision of the Supreme Court in The Attorney-General of Ekiti State v. Prince Daramola. The court of Appeal held that the Ondo State Government appointed Warrant Chiefs in disobedience to an existing valid order of court.
“That was what the plaintiffs did.Ogundare, JSC, in his concurring judgment, said at page 162: “If on being made aware, by service, of the order of the Government proceeded to appoint Warrant Chiefs in disobedience of the court’s order, the plaintiffs should have moved in the case for an order setting aside the appointment of the Warrant Chiefs and whatever action the Chiefs would have taken subsequent to their appointment.
