When court orders are disobeyed, rule of law is undermined —Shehu Sani
The former Kaduna Central senator, Shehu Sani, has reacted to the disobedience to court orders by current Government of Nigeria.
The recent order of a Federal High Court for the release of Omoyele Sowore, the #RevolutionNow convener is yet to be honoured by the government.
The government had also refused to honour earlier court orders for the release a former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki, and a leader of Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), Ibrahim El-Zakzaky.
