When Hisbah was brewing and waxing strong in the Northwest, the brilliant constitutional lawyers and SANs of the Southwest (and Southeast) watched in indifference.
At that time, we had a fairly independent Supreme Court that might have weighed in to either affirm the constitutionality of Hisbah and similar security outfits in the subnational units or declare them unconstitutional--all of them.
Had they sued and gotten Hisbah declared legal, the legal road would have been cleared for Amotekun (and all future subnational security arrangements), and AGF Malami would not have made today's pronouncement.
The brilliant lawyers of the Southwest instead deferred to Tinubu, who for selfish political reasons did not want to offend the politicians and aristocrats of the Northwest. Hisbah became both a de facto and de jure reality.
Today, Hisbah is fully entrenched, and you have a Supreme Court that is an extension of the Cabal and their brazenly pro-Northern, pro-Muslim agenda.
The SANs of the Southwest can belatedly try to sue for a constitutional judgment on both Amotekun and Hisbah, but it will end up with Justice Tanko, who wants our constitution reviewed to accommodate more Sharia law and is a stooge of the cabal.
Lesson: never let the political interest of one powerful man dictate how you, as a region, react to consequential developments in the polity. If you do it will come back to bite you.
