In Pointblanknews online publisher’s
report above Lai Mohammed was quoted as saying there is justification for
disobedience to Court Orders. That the Courts are not sufficiently
knowledgeable in the circumstances of national security which he placed over
and above human rights hence some of the detainees being sought to be released must be kept in
custody against court order.
Coming from a Minister in
the temple of justice and a Federal Government appointee, democratically
elected Buhari’s regime; This is Preposterous!
Whilst the Body of Benchers
– disciplinary committee should tackle him per a written instrument to Lai
Mohammed Esq with a view to disbarment proceedings begun and expedited; this
serves as a special appeal to AB Mahmoud SAN to heed the call to submit himself
to mediation and stop the drain on our collective resources. Look a court read
a judgment 30th March per curiam Tsoho J of Federal High Court
specifically striking down the NBA Constitution 2015. You cannot work on or with a void document.
You may not resuscitate a dead horse. You cannot breathe life into a constitution
declared null and void until the same court sets its judgment aside or an
appellate body overturns it.
Think of the legacy you
want to bequeath to succeeding generation of lawyers and citizens. AB Mahmoud
SAN has a smart learned daughter he proudly introduced to Nigerians on Facebook
he paid for his daughter’s further studies overseas LL.M I believe. That is Good and Glorious! Now Mr Lai Mohammed
is seeking to destroy all of that; his statement being destructive of the very
foundation of our democracy, upon which the rule of law is built and principles
of separation of powers held– NBA would usually guard judicial functions from audacious
lawlessness of iron fists.
Enough of the professional
carnage!
