An arrest is no longer enough to serve as this is now almost a daily occurrence - Most of these cases are settled out of court and there is no real justice for the survivors & their families.

Sowore VS Nigerian Government.
The trial begins.
#FreeSowore
#FreeSoworeNow
The prosecution has taken responsibility for just sending documents to Sowore's counsel yesterday.
As such, if the case is adjourned, it solely the prosecution's fault and the judge could award costs.
#FreeSowore
The prosecution tried to say that it's not a requirement by the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) but Justice Ojukwu reminded him that the defence asked for it on Nov 6th & the court-approved so why did they just send it yesterday?

The National Judicial Council (NJC) has called an emergency meeting this morning. Quorum is 8 of the 24 members.
Our Ask: Do not acknowledge Tanko as the acting CJN.
Fastrack any petition against #CJNOnnoghen before you.
#Constitution101
@NigBarAssoc Exco also meets today.
Our Ask: Decisive action against "procurers" of the ex parte order @MBuhari acted upon given the discrepancy in dates & omission of counsel who argued the motion as required by law. Also, how does the NBA restore its image?
#Constitution101
@NigBarAssoc @MBuhari @nassnigeria meets tomorrow.
Our Ask: Resolution standing on the constitution:
* Acting CJN not recognized
* @MBuhari should reverse the order.
We don't need a constitutional crisis.
Some lawmakers could move for impeachment to reflect the gravity of the matter.
