Less than 6 days to Nigeria’s Presidential
elections, postponed from February 16,
Nigerians once again are witnessing a
taste of what another 4 years of power
would be in Buhari’s Nigeria after the
home of the lawyer to the frontline
candidate for the opposition party Atiku
Abubakar was illegally searched by officers
of the Economical and Financial Crimes
Commission on Monday evening.
While nothing incriminating has been
found in the official residence of Atiku’s
Counsellor after a thorough search by the
EFCC, it is worthy to note that this search is
just another example of the disrespect and
disregard of human rights and the rule of
law, by this administration.
Recall that Dasuki and Sheikh Zakzaky have
spent over 3 years in detention, due to the
government flouting the orders of several
competent courts of jurisdiction. The
constant disobedience of court orders
have unwillingly weakened Nigerian’s faith
in the Judiciary.
As what many would call a desperate last
move, the EFCC’s unauthorized and
unwarranted search of Atiku’s lawyer’s
home is an indication that the APC are
sensing a large defeat by numbers on
Saturday and are willing to destabilize the
opposition’s candidate.
Further intelligence from sources suggests
that the EFCC intends to arrest and detain
several members and stake holders of the
Atiku Presidential Campaign Organisation
regardless of the results of the postponed
poll.
