This discourse analyses the implications of the continued disobedience of court orders, especially the latest court order on Dasuki, by the Buhari administration. There is also an obligation on the part of the other arms of government to obey court orders and judgements so that society can be governed in a civilised manner. Clearly, the Buhari administration is using the disobedience of court orders, which factually denies the accused person bail, as a punitive measure. President Buhari on the day of his swearing-in swore an oath to discharge his duties in accordance with the Constitution. Then, this continued disobedience to court orders to free a certain individual cannot be justified under any ground whatsoever.
