Court Invasion: Call DSS To Order, IYC Urges Buhari

The Ijaw Youth Council worldwide has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to act immediately to stop the reign of impunity by security agencies in the desecration of justice in Nigeria.

In a statement, President of IYC, Eric Omare, said it was on record that the Buhari administration had one of the worst records of disobedience of court orders and desecration of the judiciary.

The group's position followed the invasion of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Friday by operatives of the Department of State Services trying to forcefully arrest pro-democracy campaigner and journalist, Omoyele Sowore.

Omare said, “We strongly condemn this act of impunity by security agencies under the Buhari administration.

"The IYC is worried that the Presidency is mute in the face of this sacrilege on the judiciary.

"It would be recalled that when the DSS carried out similar acts of impunity by invading the National Assembly when Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, was the Acting President, Osinbajo promptly acted by sacking the then Director-General of the agency and brought some level of sanity into the security architecture.

“However, we are shocked that a worst act of impunity was carried out under the watch of President Buhari and he has decided to keep mute.

"This is a worrisome development and gives the impression that these acts of impunity have the blessings of President Buhari.

“Consequently, we call on President Buhari to quickly act to stop the ongoing impunity by security agencies against the rule of law and desecration of the judiciary.

"Nigeria is fast sliding into a state of lawlessness under the watchful eyes of President Buhari and he must act now to save our dear country and democracy."

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
