The Civil Liberties Organisation,CLO, has continued to campaign for good governance, rule of law and true democracy. This it demonstrated again when the CLO addressed media on a matter concerning AMCON and a recent court order in which the human rights organisation disclosed during the press conference some fundamental issues.
In the words of Edmund Burke,”all it takes for evil men to take over the society and poison it, is for good men to stand aloof and do nothing.”
Indeed, we cannot keep watching things go wrong and we keep mute. We must do something right if we want posterity to judge us fairly.

As of 7:45 am yesterday, the men of the Nigeria Police, who were deployed to the scene a day earlier, were seen arresting some youths who had just arrived at the toll plaza.

They were arraigned before a mobile court and were granted bail in the sum of N100,000 each.
A copy of the charge obtained by THISDAY reveals that ten suspects namely Answer Harrison (m), Adekanbi Kayode (m), Yomi Orungbamila, Anjorin Joseph Seye, Paul Terkuma (m), Dayo Keshinro (m), Belema Briggs, Anisere Sodiq (m), Olanrewaju Olonta (m) and Damilare Abímbólá were charged before the Lagos State Magistrate Court, Yaba Magisterial Division.
"The arrest, taking away in a Black Maria, and detention of Debo Makaroni and other peaceful protesters at the Lekki tollgate on Saturday is patently illegal and totally unconstitutional", Mike Ozekhome, SAN said.
