*Reiterates Its Commitment To Rule Of Law And Right To Civic Expression

Nigerian Bar Association has restated its commitment to rule of law and rights to civic expression.

The President of the NBA Olumide Akpata, disclosed this on Sunday while reacting to a post made by the first Vice President of the Bar John Aikpokpo-Martins.

John had yesterday aired his opinion that Buhari should crush IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu, and Yoruba Activist Sunday Igboho.

Akpata in his statement said “Dear Colleagues, my attention has been drawn to news reports, currently making the rounds, in which the 1st Vice President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Mr. John Aikpokpo-Martins, was quoted as saying that the President of Nigeria is constitutionally bound to “crush” secessionist agitators in Nigeria.

“In response to the many enquiries I have so far received from members of the Association and indeed the general public, it has become necessary to state categorically that, as was affirmed in the said news report, the views expressed by the 1st Vice President are his personal views which he posted on his Facebook account in the course of an online exchange, and that the said views do not represent the position of the NBA on the subject.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the NBA, as an Association founded to defend the Rule of Law, will continue to champion and defend the rights of every Nigerian citizen and/or group including, inter-alia, the right to lawful and peaceful protest; the right to make lawful demands recognized under the Nigerian Constitution or international charters applicable to Nigeria; and the right to enjoy the presumption of innocence until proven otherwise by a Court of Law in a free and fair trial that accords with the basic principles of natural justice”.
