Human rights activist and lawyer, Mr. Femi
Falana (SAN), has described the panel of inquiry allegedly set up by the First
Lady, Mrs Patience Jonathan over the abducted
school girls as illegal, unconstitutional, null and void and should
be disbanded without any further delay.

In a statement on Thursday, Falana said the comment by some people, including Patience Jonathan that 'no child was missing' was insensitive and had the capability of deepening the agony of the abducted children’s parents.
He said, “In spite of the inauguration of the Presidential
Committee to investigate the abduction of the over 200 girls and the publication of the names of about 185
of the missing girls by the CAN some political leaders have insisted
that no child has been abducted."
He wondered why
the government would be accepting help from international community to rescue
the girls if truly they were not missing.
He urged President
Jonathan to stop people from further trivialising the abduction of schoolgirls
from Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State on April 14
in the interest of public morality.
Falana therefore called on the President to
disband the committee set up by Patience to investigate the incident as she had
no power whatsoever to institute a panel to investigate any matter in any part
of Nigeria, while adding that even the one the president set up for the same
purpose could best serve as a “ministerial act” and never as a Commission of
Inquiry. READ MORE: http://news.naij.com/66012.html
