The AGF Erred In Law, National Assembly Has The Unfettered Power To Summon The President

I have read a report by the AGF that the National Assembly has no right to summon the President over security issues. I have also read some legal opinions giving support to this position. I want to state that within the precinct of the Nigerian Constitution, it is a joke to assume that the National Assembly cannot summon the President.

#SanwoOlu's Oath of Secrecy is illegal, null, void & incompetent.

#Thread

It is settled law that deposition on oath must be signed in the presence of the person authorized to administer oaths. This is the position of the law in the case of MOHAMMED v. APC & ORS.. To start with, Sanwoolu derives the power to create a tribunal of inquiry pursuant to Tribunals of Inquiry Law, Laws of Lagos State, 2015. Section 1 of the Tribunal of Inquiry Laws states that the governor may when necessary constitute a tribunal of inquiry

ALERT: This misguided Tweet from EFCC doesn't represent the position of the law in Nigeria.

It is illegal for security operatives to parade innocent citizens. A suspect (even if caught at the scene of crime) is innocent unless convicted by Court.

#Thread Media and public parade of suspects have no legitimacy under the Nigerian judicature. The only exception to this is 'Identification Parade’ which is allowed by law. But there is clear distinction between media parade and identification parade.

I'll address 3 important issues on Sola's case.

1. The violation of Sola's human rights by the Police (Interpol) & all those involved in Sola's wicked detention.

2. The atrocious lie of Jonathan's Apologists that Sola had been released when he was still in detention. 3. How Parody account can NEVER amount to impersonation under the Nigerian jurisprudence.

Abba Kyari's Burial: I'll Institute Criminal Proceedings Against Garba Sheu @GarShehu, Bashir Ahmad @BashirAhmaad & Others

It will be recalled that Nigerians who violated the restriction of movement order of government over the ongoing pandemic have been arrested, arraigned.. prosecuted & convicted accordingly

In particular, a Nigerian, who having been battered & tortured of hunger, attempted a way of reasonable escape by putting his taxi to use for commercial purposes was arrested, arraigned & convicted within a day & without any access to a lawyer

Just this morning, I had a telephone conversation with Anthony Okolie on the incidence. I'm able to gather that the Sim Card which led to his arrest was once used by Hanan Buhari; Nigeria's President's daughter, over 2 years ago. The sim card became redundant and was recycled to the market for sale. However, Mr. Okolie lawfully bought the sim card after years of redundancy unknown to him who the previous owner was.
