The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has called for the Arrest and prosecution of the former Personal Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on New Media for making derogatory and contemptuous comments towards the Federal High Court and for claiming to have the power to influence decisions of Courts as he deems fit.
In a statement signed on Sunday in Abuja by the National Media Affairs Director, Zainab Yusuf said the implication of the assertion of the former Presidential aide is that he has the capacity to arm-twist the judiciary and can as well write and influence court decisions from the various offices at the Presidential villa.
HURIWA recalled that Bashir Ahmad when he sensed how angry other tweeter users had become about his claims to have the contact to influence the decision of the Court of law, wiped off his tweet.
“We consider this subtle admission of the near-infinite capacity of the former Presidential aide to predetermine the decision of the competent courts of law as a grave threat to constitutional democracy and has rubbished the sanctity of the nation’s court system.
