Femi Falana, SAN on repressive #CAMA2020 "I have read the law. It was badly drafted. A government that set out to facilitate the ease of doing business could not have come up with a 604-page business law (CAMA 2020)...It's illegal."
Registered Nigerian NGOs were regulated in the past in line with the practice in all democratic societies. The only addition which is objectionable is the power conferred on the commission to take over and manage NGOs on allegations of misconduct. It is illegal.
It's illegal because it is a violation of the fundamental right to freedom of association guaranteed by section 40 of the Constitution.”

BREAKING: Following reports that terrorists have killed three abducted Kaduna varsity students, SERAP is calling on @mbachelet @UNHumanRights to appoint an envoy to visit Nigeria to investigate the mounting attacks on students, teachers and their families across the country.
The killing of these students is a grim reminder of the horrific toll that the violence and insecurity across Nigeria is having on children and their education.

The attacks on students are increasing, and Nigerian authorities are unwilling or unable to stop the attacks.
The authorities have refused to promptly and effectively investigate reports of attacks on students, teachers and their families, to prosecute the terrorists and their sponsors, and to provide effective remedies to victims.

BREAKING: We are concerned about reports that the Publisher of Daily Nigerian Newspaper, Jaafar Jaafar, has gone into hiding after reportedly receiving threats to his life, for allegedly releasing video clips showing alleged bribery against Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje.
We urge President Buhari @MBuhari and @NigeriaGov to instruct @PoliceNG, the Attorney General and/or appropriate anti-corruption agencies to ensure and guarantee the safety and security of Mr Jaafar Jaafar and his family.
Nigerian authorities should promptly, thoroughly and transparently investigate the allegations of threats against Mr Jaafar Jaafar, publish the findings of the investigation, and bring to justice anyone suspected to be responsible.

BREAKING: We’ve urged RMAFC to urgently review upward the remuneration, allowances, and conditions of service for judges, and to review downward the remuneration and allowances of President Buhari, 36 governors and members of @nassnigeria to address the poor treatment of judges.
In the letter sent yesterday, we urged Engr. Elias Mbam, Chairman, Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) “to send your review and recommendations to @nassnigeria for appropriate legislative action, as provided for by the Nigerian Constitution 1999.”
The letter followed the nationwide industrial action by the JUSUN to press home their demand for financial autonomy for the judicial arm of government, and the federal government’s silence on the judiciary workers’ strike that has grounded courts across the country.
