It will be a tragedy of monumental proportions should our leader go blind in detention or suffer further physical disability due to him being denied access to adequate medical attention.

“We understand those that sanctioned his detention and those detaining him want to humiliate him and make sure that he goes completely blind before he is eventually released, thereby rendering him powerless the moment he is released from unconstitutional and illegal detention.

“The health of our leader and the wife continues to deteriorate on a daily basis and those holding him in custody are playing politics with his detention and that of his wife. “We urge the Nigerian people and the international community to intervene in this crude violation of the fundamental rights of our leader.”

“The Islamic Movement in Nigeria, IMN, wants to make it clear that the said Sadau Garba and Bello Ibrahim can only be solicitors to the Department of State Services, DSS, with who they are in constant contact, and not that of the Movement or our revered leader.

“It is DSS that briefed the two, giving them access to their facilities, encouraging them to pose as solicitors to our revered leader and urging them to write letters begging DSS to release our leader on compassionate grounds.

“The Islamic Movement in Nigeria, therefore, makes it abundantly clear that Femi Falana (SAN) is the leader of the legal team and assisted by Festus Okoye (Esq.) and Maxwell Kyon (Esq.).”

IMMUNITY BILL: A MISPLACED PRIORITY

Certainly, it is not a matter of conjecture to say that the undue interference and unpalatably flagrant disregard to separation of power by the executive tier of government has raised more questions than answers on the integrity of this government and the commitment of the leadership to truly push for the genuine change in line with democratic norms all over the world.   Fatunde Bamidele Samuel (VEGA) writes from lagos. Recently, the society was encapsulated with shocking news of pension bill for the National Assembly members. However, the bill was dead on arrival. This is nothing but another heinous attempt to permanently ground the country that is already suffering from the bloodsucking bedbugs (NASS) and former governors pensions. These are almost sucking the finances of this country dry; if and only if we could act fast to salvage it then we can only hope the existence of Nigeria will not be history. The recent exploit of the National Assembly is evi...
