An Abuja Federal High Court, has restrained the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC), the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigeria Police from arresting or detaining Femi Fani-Kayode and Yinka Odumakin.

Justice John Tsoho, gave the order on Monday, following an ex parte application argued by Mr Chukwuma Machukwu-Ume (SAN) on behalf of the duo.

Machukwu-Ume told the court that the three security agencies were planning to arrest and detain his clients over comments they made with regard to the travails of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen.

“The spokesman of the EFCC, Mr Tony Orilede, was alleged to have made the threat to arrest them publicly at a conference where he represented the EFCC chairman.

“He said they are doing everything possible to arrest these two gentlemen just for speaking their minds.

“The EFCC is established to pursue corruption and not comments made by Nigerians, expressing themselves,” he said.

The lawyer told the court that his clients had gone into hiding for fear of being arrested for merely expressing their freedom of speech, alleging that their family lives had also been affected by the alleged threat.

Machukwu-Ume told the court that the application was brought pursuant to Section 6 (6)(b) and Section 46 of the 1999 Constitution as well as Order 4 Rules 3 of the Fundamental Rights Procedure Rules.

He urged the court to grant the order restraining the respondents from arresting and detaining his clients pending the determination of the application on notice.

Justice Tsoho said that he was satisfied that the applicants had made a case that their lives were being threatened.

“I am satisfied that the applicants have made out a case for the court’s intervention.

“Accordingly, the respondents are restrained from either arresting or detaining the applicants on grounds of the applicants’ public statements pending the determination of the application on notice,” the judge ruled.

The Judge adjourned the matter until February 4.

The judiciary is our last stand against lawlessness in the society, but the judiciary itself is grossly lawless, compromised, corrupt and utterly useless.

Our law enforcement agencies are practically impotent, redundant and grounded because of the corrupt judiciary

[/s]
And which Nigerian or ECOWAS court injunction have this government ever obeyed.Buhari-the president is the symbolic representation of impunity, lawlessness and corruption.

The lawyer told the court that his clients had gone into hiding for fear of being arrested for merely expressing their freedom of speech, alleging that their family lives had also been affected by the alleged threat.
He said they are doing everything possible to arrest these two gentlemen just for speaking their minds.

For both slander and libel they commited?
Along with various lies that amount to disturbing the peace of the nation?
This is the kinda judiciary the corrupt CJN is living in.
These animals are lucky we have a President that does not intervene in the rule of law.

APC zombies and vuvuzelas, make una show, food don set...

Gbam

Okay!

So much has been said on last Saturday's Presidential debate that I risk doing what the Kenyan law god, PLO lumumba described as "Paralysis of Analysis" if I attempt any further analysis on this. So I'm just here to remind us of the following:

We have a President who the woman that knows the size of his penis, his own wife of many years, has repeatedly come out publicly to tell us, is not the one in charge but is being held hostage by two or three men who are the main people ruining (not running) our affairs. In the past few day, we have seen that indeed, not only is this President not in charge of our country, he is clearly and undeniably not even in charge of his own thinking faculties -he couldn't remember something as important and unique to him as the date he was sworn in as President, he couldn't remember he is the "Presidential Candidate" of his party, not Great Ogboru, the Delta state governorship candidate, he didn't know the meaning of livestock despite having successfully reared his legendary 150 "homo" cows all his life, last Friday in Kaduna during APC's presidential campaign rally, he slumped helplessly onto a couch, Recall how he also fell in Lokoja at a campaign rally. Now, juxtapose all these with how the economy has fared under this man. How many Nigerians have lost their means of livelihood under this President? What of security? With Boko Haram slaughtering our ill-equipped soldiers despite one billion dollar this man took from our Foreign reserve supposedly to buy weapon and Fulani terrorist herdsmen butchering innocent men, women and children, including Priests right inside the church and coming out to own responsibility for the death festival with this same President openly defending them and telling you to give up your ancestral land if you want to live, do you want this same unaware, un-incharge man to take you to the "Next Level" of the aforementioned tragedies

This is the question that not only requires but demands an honest answer from every right thinking Nigerian.

We must not allow those who suckle from the breast of the Catastrophe that this govt represents to deceive us with their pseudo-intellectualism. We cannot afford to be distracted. OUR EYES MUST BE PARMANENTLY FIXED ON THE BALL. And "the ball" here is

ENSURING THAT PRESIDENT BUHARI IS SENT BACK HOME next month. Voting against Buhari is the only way to help save him from those using him as a cover for state capture, the kind far worse than the one the India-born Gupta brothers did in South Africa under Jacob Zuma.

And realistically speaking, there is only one man with the wherewithal to defeat Buhari at the polls. That man is Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. Come February, we will have either Buhari or Atiku as our President. This is no rocket science. This election is too important to be used as experiment by motivational speakers and Theorists. It is our lives we are talking here. This is no time for senseless idealism.

We have a choice between a liberal cosmopolitan Atiku with proven record of expertise in economy And an ethno-religious fundamentalist Buhari who is clearly not fit to manage his own life.

A wise man must acknowledge his reality before trying to change it.

For all those GENUINELY interested in ending the EXISTENTIAL THREAT represented by the Buhari govt, there is only one way to vote and that is by voting Atiku Abubakar. That is the only vote that will count IF YOUR DESIRE IS TO REMOVE BUHARI.

Vote Splitting is a special topic in political science. It means "wasting" your block vote which you are meant to use to defeat a powerful incumbent President Buhari by casting those votes for people you know are only in the race, not to win but to split votes from youths and women just to codedly help Buhari to win, after which they will return to their motivational speaking job and enjoy the billions they were paid by Buhari while telling you how to aspire to expire so you can inquire and acquire.

A vote for any other candidate other than the only man, Atiku Abubakar who stand the chance of defeating Buhari is a vote for Buhari. Sitting on the fence is a vote for Buhari. And no, this is not emotional blackmail. This is the reality of the situation. In 2015, MAJORITY of the people lamenting about Buhari's misrule today succumbed to APC propaganda and abstained from voting Jonathan even when they all agreed that Buhari was never an option.

By refusing to vote for the only candidate with a clear chance of defeating the one you clearly identify as Existential Threat, you have indirectly endorsed that Existential Threat to continue jeopardizing your right to life.

We must not allow our petty emotion to cloud our sense of reasoning. President Buhari and the conscienceless men masquerading as the Cabal must be stopped before they stop us all.

hmmm

shame on the dullard and his disciples.
