The Legality of Protests and the Limitations According to the constitution as a Followup to Sowore's Revolution Now.

The only constitutional limitation to protest is that it must be peaceful and not be violent. Once a protest is peaceful, it cannot be validly termed to be treason, treasonable or terrorism. This is the conclusion that may be drawn from a combined reading of the provisions of sections 40, 41 and 45 of the Constitution.

ON CONVICTION OF JUSTICE ONNOGHEN BY THE CCT

ON CONVICTION OF JUSTICE ONNOGHEN BY THE CCT Whilst supporting all measures to fight against corruption and to attain the goal of establishing the highest moral standards and accountability in the conduct of public affairs and behaviour of public officers, the conviction of Justice Onnoghen should never be celebrated as a victory for the fight against corruption.

https://socialistworkersleague.org/2019/01/28/removal-of-chief-justice-onnoghen/ Web link to original article The suspension of the Chief Justice, Walter Nkanu Samuel Onnoghen is undemocratic, and dictatorial, being unlawful and unconstitutional. On Friday, 25 th January 2019, President Buhari announced the unilateral suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria on the order of the  Code of Conduct Tribunal  (CCT) purportedly issued on 23 rd  January 2019. Indeed, the so-called ex-parte order was procured in suspicious circumstances in that on 22 nd  January, the CCT had publicly refused an oral application for the same interim order and adjourned proceedings till 28 th  January to hear the application of Counsel to the Chief Justice challenging the jurisdiction of the CCT.

ON THE PLANNED ARRAIGNMENT OF CJN ONNOGHEN ON MONDAY, 14th JANUARY 2019

The planned arraignment of CJN Walter Onnoghen on Monday, 14th January 2019 before the Code of  Conduct Tribunal is motivated, not by the altruistic motive to fight corruption in the judiciary but by a unitarist, tyrannical and totalitarian motive to intimidate, overawe and subdue the judiciary to do the bidding of the APC-controlled Federal Government in view of the impending 2019 elections and the electoral litigations that may follow. This political motive is expressly disclosed in the petition written by Anti- Corruption and Research Based Data Initiative (ARDI) which is headed by a former media aide to President Muhammadu Buhari and founding member of The Buhari Organization (TBO), Dennis Aghanya.
