| Femi Falana: Nigerian Civil Rights Attorney |
A prominent Nigerian civil rights attorney has just endorsed the arrests
of Nigerians without warrants and without charge before the court
within 48 hrs. At Center for Modern Nigeria, we disagree with this
strategy that selectively probes a segment of Nigerian population. We
want to probe and fight corruption in Nigeria. But due process must be
followed and the civil and constitutional rights of all Nigerian must be
protected and respected. A government that flaunts the judiciary
mandates has no moral rights to preside over a democratic governance.
These excesses of the Executive Branch of Nigerian administration
violate the tenet of civilized democracy. We will continue to compile
the flagrant civil and human rights violations of this administration
for record keeping and for possible prosecution at the International
level at the appropriate time and place. We love our country and all
Nigerians must be protected from persecution regardless of political,
religious, tribal or geopolitical differences. An administration that
chooses to marginalize its citizens can not succeed in a democracy.
