DUAL CITIZENSHIP : SENATOR BUKOLA SARAKI

There's a popular saying that, if you don't know your history, Please join the Nigeria Politics, the story of how your great grand parent met and married will be told once you contest or you are appointed into a public office in Nigeria.

This is the case of the controversial President of the Senate, Senator Bukola Saraki, despite the people calling on the All Progressives party Chieftains to sheath their swords and let peace reign in the interest of Nigeria and spirit of change, new things seems to be emerging, the most recent is the question as to whether Senator Bukola Saraki is qualified to be a senate president by virtue of his citizenship in the United Kingdom with passport NO: 306077175.

This is purely a constitutional matter and the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria will be used to trash this, not just because of the Senate President but for future references.

First, who is qualified to be a member of the National Assembly? 

A person is qualified for election as a member of if Section 65 (1a) senate if he is a citizen of Nigeria and has attained the age of thirty-five years old  (b) House of Representatives , if he is a citizen of Nigeria and has attained the age of thirty years (2) a person shall be qualified for election if he has been educated up to atleast school certificate or its equivalent 

Disqualification for election to the Senate?

No person shall be qualified for election to the Senate or House of Representatives Section 66 (a) subject to the provision of section 28 of this constitution , he has voluntarily acquired the citizenship to a country other than Nigeria or, except in such cases as may be prescribed by the National Assembly , has made declaration of  allegiance to such a country.

Section 28 of the Constitution of FRN? 

Subject to the other provisions of this section , a person shall forfeith his Nigerian citizenship, if not being a citizen of Nigeria by birth, he acquires or retains the citizenship or nationality of a country , other than Nigeria , of which he is not a citizen by birth.

GOV. RAUF AREGBESOLA SHOUlD BE IMPEACHED

SEARCH: WHO CAN CONDUCT A SEARCH?

A search is an examination of a person’s body , vehicle, house,  premises, or any vessel with the view to discover contraband, illicit, stolen property or some evidence of guilty to be used in the prosecution of a criminal action for some other or offence with which he is charged.

The general rule is that before a search can be conducted; there must be a warrant to be issued by appropriate authority for there to be a valid search.

The power to search the body of the person arrested is conferred on the police officer making such arrest, he needs give no reason for the search, a private person who has custody of an arrested person also has power to search a person. The search of a lady is to be carried out by another lady not by a man this is the provision of section 43(3) of the criminal procedure code, the search of the body of a woman must be done with strict regard to decency but it is lawful for a man to search other things attached to the body of a woman i.e. handbags, wallets etc

The search of premises must be conducted in the presence of two respectable inhabitants of the neighborhood summoned by the person to whom he search is addressed. Where the premises to be search belong to a woman in Pudah, they should be allowed to withdraw provided they are not the object of search.

The authority to issue a search warrant is conferred on a judge, magistrate of a senior police officer, search warrant may be issued and executed on any day including Sunday and public holidays between the hurs of 5am and 8pm but this does not mean this provision cannot be waived at anytime in other to meet the exigency of a particular vessels used for smuggling at night or house of ill repute.

A police officer may detain and search any person he reasonably suspects of any immoral or criminal act. Also before a search warrant is executed on a person, premises or thing warrant must be shown to the person, occupier or person in control of thing. The body of the person who intends to conduct the search will then be searched by by the person named in the warrant.

Thank you.
