CISLAC Asks Buhari To Reverse Sanusi’s Banishment

The Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC) has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to intervene in the violations of the constitutional rights of the deposed emir of Kano, Alhaji Mahammud Sanusi.

While flaying what it described as the authoritarian tendencies of state governments, the group in a statement issued by its executive director, Auwal Musa (Rafsanjani), the group said:

“We are amused at the open-display of rascality and disproportionate deployment of some government mercenaries including police force and other security institutions to amplify tussles, public harassment, extrajudicial implementation of imposition of restriction of movement and personal liberty of the dethroned monarch without iota of respect to the rule of laws and various Constitutional provisions.

“We call on President Muhammadu Buhari to sincerely and constructively intervene by upholding the Constitutional provisions to ensure that the rule of laws is adhered to and the dethroned Sanusi enjoys all his rights and freedom of movement, as clear demonstration for leadership, respect for civility, democratic core values and the Constitution. 

“We urge all government institutions including the security institutions to refrain and dissuade from undemocratic and inhumane actions that is tantamount to harassment, intimidation and oppression of citizens on the basis of exercising their legal mandates.” 

“We further call on civil society, media and well-meaning Nigerians to rise up in discouraging unconstitutional and undemocratic actions against any citizen.”
