Christmas for Sowore, Sambo - The Nation Newspaper

was still insisting that the Federal Government could not order the release of Sahara Reporters publisher Omoyele Sowore and ex-National Security Adviser Sambo Dasuki. But some hours before this newspaper went to bed, Malami granted my wish and in the spirit of the season, he did what he said he would not do: He ordered the release of Sowore and Dasuki. His reason: Because the courts said so.

In most societies, if you killed, you would pay with your life. Some offences carried the penalty of being banished. So severe were some of the punishments that generations yet unborn suffered the consequences of their forebears’ sins. The judiciary does its work through a proclamation known as order or ruling. The orders can be interim or permanent and parties are supposed to be bound by it.

Olusegun Obasanjo, as president, will be remembered for flouting the order on the creation of local government areas in Lagos State. Obasanjo refused to obey the Supreme Court when it ordered his administration to release the allocations for local government councils in Lagos. Obasanjo had ordered the seizure of the money because he felt the Asiwaju Bola Tinubu administration ‘unconstitutionally’ created additional local councils.
