Dear Buhari,

RELIGIOUS GOWNS SHOULDN'T BE AN IMMUNITY FOR CRIMINALS AND ROGUES!

The dictum that says no body is above the law is exactly what it means or what it implies. Which exactly means that anyone who commits any crime or blows a dog whistle to coupists to violently

overthrow a government over baseless claims built on sheer bigotry, hate and sentiments deserve no protection of any kind from legitimate arrest and prosecution for their crimes. By Nigerian laws, the only caliber of people exempted from arrest and prosecution for any crime they

commit are the President, Vice President, State Governors and their Deputies, and this is even while they are in office but can be arrested and prosecuted after they leave office.

In order words, criminals and insurgents masquerading as religious leaders don't fall into the

category of people with immunity from arrest and prosecution. In fact, the Nigerian constitution does not even recognize them as public officials, much less accord them any privilege enjoyed by public officials. However, the respect and privileges accorded to religious leaders

by citizens were simply due to courtesy in respect of the religious significance of their positions in the lives of members of their religious sects but not because of any secular law. This benevolence has made them look and feel so important, and this aura of importance appears

to have attracted all manner of crooks and other categories of dubious people to venture into the business of "religious leadership" for the purpose of hiding behind that aura to mask their criminality and dubiousness. Hence they perpetrate all manner of evil and expect to be

untouched by the authorities all in the name of being religious leaders.

From all indications, Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah is one of such dubious characters hiding inside the gown of religious leadership to provoke bedlam and crisis in Nigeria for reasons best known to him. His

political inclination is well known, and so also is his false claim to probity and integrity. What is not known is how long are Nigerians willing to tolerate this wolf in sheep's clothing to continue to stir trouble on behalf of the criminal political class he represents. But

it's not even the job of hapless and helpless Nigerians to tolerate or punish the unbridled mischief of this conman, rather it's the duty of the federal government to protect the hapless and helpless Nigerians from the evil machinations of this salesman of crisis.

Kukah doesn't

have immunity from arrest and prosecution, as mentioned earlier. The failure of the State to cut these conmen to size is what is responsible for their oversized pride and their false sense of invincibility, which keeps pushing them into pushing the country to the precipice of

destruction. We can't afford their indiscretions and excesses anymore. It's time they are shown that religious garments cannot continue to be a shield for crooks and insurgents. Kukah has called for a bloody coup d'etat, and he deserves to be treated the way failed coupists are

treated.
