The rights of citizens to freely organize themselves and protest against any perceived actions or inactions of government at all levels enjoy constitutional imprimatur and the peaceful exercise of such rights is not subject to the whims and caprices of those who occupy public offices. These rights are inherent in every man, more so in a democratic society like ours.… Read More

It has come to our notice at Cadrell Advocacy Centre that Comrade Omoyele Sowore – publisher Sahara Reporters, has been arrested by men of the State Security Services at the early hours of Saturday, the 3rd of August, 2019. The said arrest is not unconnected to the planned nationwide protest against bad governance, insecurity, corruption and the host of other… Read More

The DSS cannot be accused of being fair-handed and unprejudiced. It has always been the political police of the existing regime. I recall in 2014 when agents of the service invaded the offices of the APC in search of incriminating materials; hounded the staff of the party and made a spectacle of them for droll offences. The agency was serving… Read More

I feel helpless not to mock or inveigh the parade of buffoonery that has become daily libations of the ruling elites.   Monday, August 5, 2019, Nigeria is will witness revolutionary earthquake caused by the #RevolutionNow led by Omoyele Sowore.   That Nigeria is overripe for revolution is like saying herdsmen terrorists are dangerous.

And the decayed state of this country is a result of more than half a century of elite-conspiracies. Since the beginning of… Read More

To the superstitious in these parts, such spectacle can only be indicative that the surrounding community had either come under a plague or arrived at its threshold. So, when reports came last week that the “hallowed… Read More

In the spirit of the anti-corruption drive of the Buhari regime and given the way and manner this drive has gone to fumigate the public finance sector of governance, especially at the federal level thereby freeing humongous resources that were hitherto fleeced by operatives of government, there is this wish writ large in the minds of Nigerians that the Buhari… Read More

The decision of the Nigerian government to proscribe the Shiite Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) and to declare it officially as a terrorist organization is a catastrophic blunder.  In the first instance, the decision is illegal and unconstitutional.  It is a blatant infringement on the freedom of religion guaranteed under the Nigerian Constitution.  But even more than this, it is… Read More
