Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, have expressed their displeasure concerning the decision of the Court of Appeal to grant the prayers of the Federal Government on the judgement made by the Appellate Court quashing all charges filed against the detained leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

HURIWA has described the judiciary as a captive of the executive arm of government and has lost her voice as the last hope of the common man.

Daily Post reported that the rights group said by their cowardice manifested in the granting of the stay of execution to a disobedient Appellant, the Court of Appeal has justified the resort to self-help measures by disenchanted citizens since it is no longer possible for justice to be obtained in the court of law and complied with by the government and then the same court will certify the gross indiscipline and treachery of the central Government in flouting the unambiguous orders of the court made in compliance with section 6 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

HURIWA condemned the capitulation to the whims and caprices of the President of Nigeria by the Court of Appeal, asking why the Court did not insist that the Federal Government obeys the judgment first before appealing.

They added, that the Court has been blackmailed into shooting themselves on the leg and thereby amputating justice.

“Today is indeed a calamitous day for the Nigerian judiciary whereby the wheel of justice was derailed by political correctness and fear of the unknown,” the group said.

HURIWA said it is appalled that the hierarchy of the Court of Appeal was so provoked by the decision of the three-member panel of Justices to quash the charges against Nnamdi Kanu that it reportedly made a punitive transfer affecting a member of that panel even before the belated application for stay of execution was filed.

Recall, that on Friday, the appellate court, in a unanimous decision by a three-man panel led by Justice Haruna Tsanami, granted the application FG brought for a stay of execution of the judgement pending the hearing and determination of the appeal it lodged before the Supreme Court.

However, the appellate court, ordered FG to within seven days, transmit the record of the appeal as well as its verdict on the matter, to the apex court to enable speedy determination of the case.

Carpeting the Court of Appeal for making itself an effective political hostage and captive of the executive arm of government.

HURIWA described the decision to suspend their own well-conceived and legally sound and well-grounded judgment amounted to judicial suicide by the Court of Appeal and is similar to hitting the death nail on the head of judicial independence; further calling the Appeal Court’s decision, shameful, laughable and irrational.
