CDHR Charges FG To Strike Out All Politically Inclined Litigations

OpenLife Nigeria reports that the intention of the Federal Government to discontinue treasonable case against the human rights activist and the publisher Sahara Reporters Omoyele Sowore is a welcome development.

The position of CDHR was contained in a statement signed by Comrade Debo Adeniran, National President CDHR Nigeria and Comrade Idris Afees Olayinka, National Publicity Secretary CDHR Nigeria respectively and made available to OpenLife.

In the statement, it was gathered that the federal government has make its intention known to discontinue the treasonable felony legal tussle instituted against Sowore on Thursday 15th February in a document signed by the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation Lateef Fagbemi.

The document was addressed to the Federal High Court Abuja Division disclosing FG intention to stop the case against Sowore and the co-defendant, Olawale Bakare popularly called Mandate.

Shortly before FG approached the court, CDHR gathered that the trial Judge, Justice Emeka Nwite sitting in Abuja had on Wednesday February 14th threatened to strike out the over four-year treasonable case on the premise that the FG’s counsel failed to established a clear case against the accused persons.

In the same vein, CDHR charges the federal government to strike out all politically inclined litigations against all the accused persons and face their primary responsibilities of governance. Government should stop chasing shadows and stop hiding under fruitless exercise.

Presently, the country is seriously burning and on the verge of collapse as issues bordering on economic survival of the masses are not addressed. The effects of fuel subsidy removal is now telling on Nigeria people and has also brought inflation and untold hardships.

Many Nigerians are living below poverty line as majority can not afford the current cost of living.

Hike in pump price of petroleum, cooking gas and diesel as well as hyper inflation that rocks our commodity market. People cannot afford to buy food stuff, pay transport fare and enjoy different Tertiary services.

These and many more are enough for the FG to face by putting necessary policy measures and urgent radical approaches to alleviate the suffering of the people saving Nigerians from international embarrassment.

The FG should beam their search light to addressed the aforementioned rather than engaging in fruitless litigation that can not take the country anywhere.

The excess money saved from fuel subsidy removal can be channel to developmental projects that will enhance better living standards for Nigeria people, approved living wage for workers and make the environment enabling enough for private and informal sectors to thrive.
