Buhari under fire over comment justifying disobedience of court orders

Nigerian activists and lawyers have berated President Muhammadu Buhari for saying the government will continue to detain two prominent detainees, Sambo Dasuki and the leader of the separatist group, IPOB despite several court orders that they should be released from detention.

Most of those interviewed believe Mr Buhari overstepped his power by openly defying the judiciary on national television.
