According to Nwapa, the recent actions of the Judge contravens every stipulation laid down in the Nigerian constitution.
He labelled the remand of the hunger protesters as a violation of the provisions of Criminal justice Act & provisions of the 1999 Constitution.
“Injustice Emeka Nwite has violated every provision of Democratic Constitution. He is the henchman of the @officialABAT Fascist regime.
