(Onitsha Nigeria, 14th December 2015)-The leadership of International Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law (Intersociety); supported by other ten members of the Southeast based Coalition of Human Rights Organizations (SBCHROs) have dragged Hon Justice Adeniyi Ademola of Court Six of the Federal High Court, Abuja Division to the National Judicial Council (NJC) through its chairman, Hon Justice Mahmud Mohammed (CJN); over his unsatisfactory and unconstitutional roles in consideration and issuance of a highly controversial and unconstitutional order for perpetual detention of Citizen Nnamdi Kanu in the guise of “investigating him for offenses of terrorism and terrorism financing”. We also wrote the Attorney General of the Federation & Minister for Justice, Mallam Abubakar Malami, SAN, drawing his immediate attention to the gross inconsistency of Section 27 (1) of the Terrorism Prevention Act of 2011 as amended; with Section 35 (4) (a) (b) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, under right to personal liberty; for the purpose of sending an executive bill to the National Assembly for immediate repealing or expunging of the unconstitutional provision in the said Terror Act of 2011 as amended.
