THE Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), on Tuesday, condemned the sealing of the premises of the National Assembly by security personnel.
Recalled that members of the National Assembly, including Senators and Members of the House of Representatives as well as staff and various personnel working within the National Assembly Complex, were yesterday morning, prevented from entering the complex by armed masked men suspected to be operatives of the Department of State Security (DSS).
A statement by the NBA President, Abubakar Balarabe Mahmoud (SAN) said, “The Nigerian Bar Association condemns this brazen and blatant act of the security personnel and demands the immediate withdrawal of this personnel.”
Mahmoud said, the action of the DSS was unconstitutional and poses a grave threat to the nation’s democracy and called on the Acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) to immediately call the security forces to order.
The NBA, he said condemns in the strongest terms the attempts by the government or any faction of the political class to drag the Nigerian Security Forces into their ongoing political bickering and manoeuvres totally unrelated to their responsibilities of governance for which they were elected.

“We call on the Military, the Nigerian Police, Department of State Security and all other security agencies not to engage in any unconstitutional operations or allow themselves to be dragged into partisan political activities directly or indirectly.
“We want to remind the heads of these Security Agencies that there is sufficient framework under domestic and international law to hold them accountable for illegal and unconstitutional operational use of security personnel,” the statement said.
The association, he said, will continue to monitor the situation and will not hesitate to take further and more drastic action in defence of Nigerian democracy should its call is not heeded to.
How long shall this Fulani terrorist government last???
Please stop been negative
The sack and subsequent arrest of the DG DSS may sound exciting to others but not to me. It is one action meant to cover up the shame of an invasion of our legislature today, an invasion that should never have happened!
Both the sacker and the sacked knew about the script all along.
When such scripts fail, somebody must be used to redeem the executive, albeit dramatically.
Don’t be surprised if Daura is restored as DG DSS on Buhari’s return to the country “after a careful review of the events that led to his earlier sack. All those involved in the illegal invasion of the national assembly without the EXPRESS permission of the DG DSS have been rounded up and are facing orderly room trial after which they shall be charged to court”.
Case closed!
As usual, Nigerians move on and nothing happens!
We are wiser now! Let’s not be carried away by such drama. Is it the IG of Police that has not finished obeying Buhari that will obey Osinbajo, and against Daura? I doubt it so much. Daura is only offering himself as a sacrifice to save Buhari’s face in all this imbroglio. After redeeming Buhari, it would soon be his turn to be reddened after the whole drama would have died down.
Let’s all remain
