The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, has called for total respect to the rule of law in Nigeria.
Mr Lawan spoke in Abuja Monday while responding to a question by a journalist who asked about the repeated violations of the rule of law by President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
“It (rule of law) is something that we all have to adhere to,” Mr Lawan said.
He said part of respect for the rule of law was to ensure that those suspected of criminal activities are taken to court; but they should also be freed if they are not found guilty, he said.
The latest of such violations occurred when armed State Security Service (SSS) officials stormed an Abuja court to arrest an activist, Omoyele Sowore, who had been granted bail by a court.
