… Back Oby Ezekwesili over Sowore
…Disagree with Justice Maha over decline adjudication
Groups under the auspices of Coalition of Human and Civil Rights Organizations (COHCRO) have urged the security agents especially the Department of State Security (DSS) in the country to stop concocting lies against the rights activist and Convener, Revolution Now Movement, Comrade Omoyele Sowore.
Sowore who called out for revolution protest on August 5 against the myriads of problems facing the country had since been detained at the cell of DSS on the “Jankara injunction” obtained by the State Security at the Abuja High Court.
The groups also backed the position of former Minister of Education, Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili that Sowore and his idea could not be caged.
Reacting to the Federal High Court, Abuja rejection to hear Sowore’s application in a signed statement by the COHCRO’s National Coordinator, Comrade Adeniyi Alimi Sulaiman and made available to newsmen on Wednesday, disagreed with Justice Nkweonye Maha over declination to hear Sowore’s application on 45 days detention order by Justice Taiwo Taiwo, saying that the fundamental rights of the applicant should be respected in this matter of national importance.
It stated that the action of Justice Maha was tantamount to miscarriage of justice and against the international best judicial practices and tenets of Nigeria constitutional democracy.
It added that the laws in Nigeria were made presently in typical Orwellian fashion in which all animals were supposed to be equal but some were more equal than others.
However, no fewer than 53 civil rights groups had concluded arrangement to organize 2 million man march protest on 5th of September, 2019 to demand for release of Sowore.
The groups include; Centre for Human Rights and Social Justice (CHRSJ), Save Lagos Group (SLG), Centre for Defence of Yoruba Unity, Centre for Constitutional Rights and Anti-Corruption Crusader, Veteran Group for Operation Clean Crusade (VGOCC) and host of others.
