Fearless judges? 4 naija? I doubt if dey exist! Na only "judge dredd" go fit help us sentence these gigantic thieves oh!

chukwudi44:


Bros we have the National judicial council to sanction erring Judges. If you have any case against any Judge take it to them.It is not the prerogative of the executive to sanction erring judges.

handie:
I believe there are still a few incorruptible and fearless Nigerian judges. Root em out and let the trials begin! If you see none, abeg take Jega to be reading the final judgements and trials be conducted by a jury of judges put under strict security watch

1. There is no question. Of " IF", You know and I know we have corrupt judges in the helm of power.

2. This judges have a way of influencing public sentiment and regional aggression through their sponsors.

3. Our own senate is filled with corrupt lawmakers from both APC and PDP

4. You can not fight corruption with a pampered hand of the law. The very law you defend can be interpreted by any judge to suite the situation as it arises

5. When you put a pot on fire everything inside the pot feels the heat as the pot itself. True fight against corruption will reflect on all parties including APC and PDP. When EFCC was on the fore front on the fight against corruption even ACN were very cautious not to associate with corrupt individuals. The only hatred some people on this forum have for apc its because of the alliance with cpc and anpp

6.If all fabric of a nation is affected by corruption the only logical thing to do is to be cautious of who handles the process of eradicating that corruption. Buhari have state it clearly he is not after anybody he only wants the stolen funds return either willingly or by the sword of justice.

7. Now his only desire is that the person or body who handles that sword is upright and credible to give the process credibility.

PROXY KO PROWLING NI!!! LIKE HE HAS BEEN ABLE TO REMOVE SARAKI BY PROXY!!! BUNCH OF ILLITERATES

Sunday8650:

You have no idea how deep corruption is. You think it is a surface problem. We won't have worried so much if it is on the surface. Take the time out and review every institution in nigeria and tell me which have a clean bill with respect to corrupt practices not even our religious institution is free from the epidemic of corruption.

You really have no idea about the size and scale of corruption it is just a political perspective you see. To you it is just APC and PDP thing.

The west have clean every aspect of their institutions before they prides themselves as countries govern by law. Do you think what we are talking here is just politics. You no idea how deep corruption have eaten into our lives. You can't cleanse judiciary and ignore the senate or clean the legislative and ignore the executive. It is that deep and because of that it needs a credible process one we cannot boost of with any institution even the EFCC or DSS. You can see Buhari was very selective of who to use. He has to be sure of their integrity first.

We are not saying everyone is corrupt but simply searching a righteous man in Nigeria is like separating grains of rice from large pile of sands

though saraki betrayed his party, he is still APC

donholy28:
Imagine! if there's evidence of looting present,u don't need special" handpicked" judges to try them

chukwudi44:
Junk journalism!!! The presidency has no such powers to chose judges to try any case!! There is no such powers in our constitution which confers any such powers on the executive.

These propagandas by the APC and its media outlets are becomming sickening!!! This was exactly what Bishop Kukah was talking about!!!

ionsman:


Everything is propaganda to you. Abeg learn to shut up o jare.

bjdon:


Quite a lot of points, I conceed, but none change the simple fact that the LAW MUST BE FOLLOWED AT ALL TIMES.

If you are saying that the body politic of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is now so rotten and corrupted that it can't be relied upon to effectively dispense justice(Which seems to the case from your seven points above) then the only logical conclusion is that the current constitution and the 4th republic need to be suspended, emergency rule brought in and the whole stable cleaned out. Is that what you are advocating?

President Muhammadu Buhari has commenced the process of identifying a few fearless and courageous judges who will be saddled with the responsibility of prosecuting persons who have been found to have stolen national resources, THE PUNCH has learnt.

Buhari had while granting audience to members of the National Peace Committee led by Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar in the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Tuesday disclosed that the prosecution of the indicted persons would commence in a matter of weeks.

“Those who have stolen the national wealth will be in court in a matter of weeks and Nigerians will know those who have short-changed them,” the President had told his guests.

Our correspondent however learnt on Sunday that the prosecution would not be open to “just any judge.”

It was learnt that the President was committed to ensuring that only judges who would expedite action on the cases and would be fearless in discharging their duties would be enlisted for the prosecution.

A source confided in our correspondent that that was one of the assignments Buhari gave to the Prof. Itse Sagay-led Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption which he set up on Monday.

The source said it would not be necessary to set up special courts to try corruption cases since efforts were already underway to identify judges that would key into the President’s dream of ensuring that no looter was left unpunished.

He said, “We do not need to entertain any fear that the prosecution of corruption-related cases will not be fast enough because many of our courts are already weighed down by many cases.

“The truth of the matter is that not all judges will be considered to take up the cases of those who have stolen our commonwealth.

“As a matter of fact, one of the assignments the President gave the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption led by Prof. Sagay is to identify fearless and courageous judges that will handle the cases.

“The idea is to ensure that the judges who will handle the cases will not be just any judges. They must be those who will expedite actions on the cases and discharge their duties with courage.

“You can see that with this development, the issue of special courts for corruption cases may not come. It is about special judges.”

Our correspondent also gathered that Buhari was already considering withdrawing national honours from any individual found to have looted the nation’s treasury.

It was learnt that the President’s position was that the nation should not be seen to be honouring any fruadulent person.

“The President will not hesitate to strip any corrupt person of national honour. Can you honour a person for milking the nation dry? It is irrelevant how long such persons have been bestowed with the national honours, they will be stripped of them,” the source said.

When contacted, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, said it was reasonable that anybody found to be corrupt should be stripped of national honours.

Adesina however said such withdrawal of national honours would not be done until affected persons had been convicted by competent courts.

“Although it has not been considered, it is reasonable that those found guilty of corruption should be stripped of national honours bestowed on them. However, this will not be done before conviction,” the presidential spokesman said.

While announcing the establishment of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption on Monday, Adesina had said its brief was to advise the present administration on the prosecution of the war against corruption and the implementation of required reforms in Nigeria’s criminal justice system.

He said the committee was also saddled with the responsibility of developing comprehensive interventions for achieving the recommended reforms.

I know exactly how bad the corruption is.If a common secondary school drop out could forge a SSCE result and enlist in the army ending up as a General and Military head of state then the system is really corrupt!!! If someone wants to let his friend who were indicted for $12,5 Billion gulf war oil windfall and $16 billion energy scam to go after imaginary thieves then the system is really corrupt

chukwudi44:

Mumu this is law and not propaganda. Buhari does not have the powers to appoint any judge to handle any case. I expect fools like you that show me the section of our constitution where you think gave The president the powers to assign judges to handle cases

chukwudi44:

Princewell2012:
Oga he never said he will appoint any judge but he advised the committee to do so. I thought you are educated?

Sunday8650:

Am advocating a stronger stance on corruption from the public irrespective of party affiliation. When a step is commendable we should support it not because it was not propose by your party but because it is just.

When you see no good in a man nothing good will come out of him. Because i don't like Jonathan automatically his policies becomes wrong in my eyes. Even though it is a just policy.

We are in the times were critics are base on party affiliation instead of national and collective interest.

That is what is rampant on nairaland and other social platforms

Sunday8650:


I do not support Abacha name to be remove from the probe but i do believe there is no way Buhari can probe PDP and ignore APC.

It was clear Buhari doesn't favour APC that is why PDP support his probe and encourage him not to show favourism but be just.

Why do u reject a process welcome by all including the international community

Princewell2012:
God will surely bless for these comment.

chukwudi44:


Olodo only the CJN,the state CJs and the National Judicial council has the powers to assign Judges to cases.No useless presidential commitee has the power to assign Judges to cases.You fools should strive to keep yourself abreast with the laws of the land and quit exposing your ignorance on intenational forum like this

chukwudi44:

The CJN is under no obligation to accept any such directives.Both the CJN and the president would be in trouble if it is publicly exposed that any Judge handling any case was assigned on the directives of the executive

SenJoe:
May the search go well

Princewell2012:
Why are you disgracing your self everywhere on these forum? why don't you go to court if you 're not satisfied with his decision. Idiot.

buhari is so dull that even when he forged the waec result, he still gave himself F9. Haba buhari; and you wan rule nigeria ni?
