An Abuja based legal practitioner, Godwin Ogboji, yesterday, berated the Buhari administration over alleged persistent disregard for court orders, noting that “disobeying court orders is the highest form of corruption”.
“It is not in the place of any other branch of government, apart from the judiciary, to interpret and apply the law as any such attempt will be an aberration and an affront to the principle of the rule of law”, he told Sunday Vanguard in an interview.
“Considering this elementary principle of law, it is thus unfortunate that the President, the face of the executive, acting through the Department of State Services, DSS, is consciously disobeying court orders, as typified in the case of Kanu and Dasuki, who were all granted bail by competent and superior courts. This is an affront on the Constitution.
“Where the executive, which prosecutes, is dissatisfied with any court ruling, instead of disobeying the court order, it has the right of appeal to complain and, if the complaint is justifiable, surely it will get relief. Disobedience of court order is the highest form of corruption”. .
