The applicant, Human Rights Foundation International, sought the order in its substantive suit where it prayed the court to compel the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to “perform their statutory obligations” by immediately arresting and prosecuting the two ministers.
The group also sought an order of mandamus compelling President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately sack both ministers “in the interest of the public and morality” based on allegations of attempts to influence court decisions as claimed by the two jurists.
A copy of the enrolled order made on December 1 specifically called for the disengagement of the ministers pending when they were cleared by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Two justices - Justices Inyang Okoro and Sylvester N. Ngwuta - had in two separate correspondences to former Chief Justice Mahmud Mohammed accused the ministers of attempting to influence court decisions in some election cases between 2015 and this year.
The matter has, however, been slated for mention on December 15.
Anybody that supported buhari to get to power is safe. Bet me!
ReplyDeleteThese are two of Baba's Saints that took him eternity to chose as ministers. It is unfortunate.

I sincerely hope this government will obey this court order
ReplyDeleteWhile we hope Mr PMB would not obstruct the order & that the various agencies carry out the instruction, this minister of transport is becoming too notorious just because nothing works in this country & any body can become a lord overnight whence you've stolen enough money from the public purse.
