Arresting Citizens For "Insulting" President Is Unconstitutional And Will Be Challenged By Tope Akinyode

Tope Akinyode The arrest of a 70-year-old man and two others for "insulting" President Muhammadu Buhari and governor of Katsina State is unconstitutional and therefore condemnable. The point has to be made that defamation (whether civil or criminal) is private or personal in nature and public officers or government agencies are barred by law from suing for defamation.  In the case of Omega Bank Plc V Government of Ekiti State (2007) 16 NWLR (PT. 1061) 445 AT 478 - 479 PARA. E (CA), the court held that "...in view of the personal nature of libel actions, public officers have no right to sue or be sued for libel. In the instant case, the respondent being public officers had no right of action in libel". Tope Akinyode The idea that an organ of government or public officers cannot sue for defamation is premised on the ground that state resources must never be deployed against citizens to intimidate them into silence.

Creeping Tyranny In The Land Of Promise By Emmanuel Umohinyang

“We view this wicked act as not just man’s inhumanity to fellow man, but a very serious threat to our noble profession and womanhood” – Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ), Akwa Ibom State Council, condemning the arrest and detention of Mary Ekere, a female journalist with The Post by the state government recently. That Nigeria is richly blessed when it comes to proverbs cannot be overemphasized. From the North to the East, the West to South-South, you hear quality proverbs that set you thinking, any day, anytime. Thus, no situation is so difficult or complex that Nigeria’s proverbs cannot fill the void. It was therefore not difficult to find one while ruminating over the abyss our dear state of Akwa Ibom has fallen into under the present administration led by Governor Udom Emmanuel.
