Again, President Buhari Ignores Court Orders

President Muhammadu Buhari has again flout a valid court order by recalling Mrs. Folashade Kolawole, a retired civil servant, as Director and Acting Secretary of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).
It will be noted that a court order had stopped her reinstatement.

Kolawole was recalled on Friday to the CCB through a letter of reinstatement signed by the Acting Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Habiba Lawal.
In the letter, Lawal directed Kolawole to take over the affairs of the bureau with immediate effect.
According to reports, Mrs Kolawole was accompanied by a large retinue of gun-wielding security operatives of the Nigerian police and Department of State Service (DSS).
On resumption, the Acting Secretary of the Bureau, Agom Tor Ngusha, was said to have been summoned by Kolawole into her office and ordered to hand over the affairs of the bureau.
According to a worker, who pleaded anonymity, a number of secret service operatives had besieged the office for days prior to her arrival.
“Today, we just saw armed policemen with guns and tear gas at the office premises.
“The staff cannot work because the office environment is not conducive for anybody to work in, with the presence of the security men everywhere,” the source stated.
Kolawole’s return to the CCB, it was gathered, was by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Federal Secretariat and the FCT command of DSS in Asokoro, who are believed to have taken briefs from superior authorities.
“What surprised workers, however, was the Gestapo manner they intimidated the acting secretary to hand over power to their preferred candidate, and despite the order of the court,” the source said.
The staff of CCB had a few months ago embarked on a protest to express their displeasure over plans to reinstate her.
