Nigeria is a complex nation. Certain things need careful handling. Deal with a group/individual sets a president to which people will surely refer, as Yerima has done.

Arguments about the reason for breaking the law do not hold water. Our laws as of now do not prescribe conditions under which laws may be broken. Remember, no one must be above the law if we must have justice, fair play, and order.
