Chief Justice Of Nigeria Lashes Out At Critics Of Judicial Officers by ozoigbondu: 3:01pm On Feb 10, 2016
The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Mahmud Mohammed, has referred to those calling the judicial officers corrupt as being inconsiderate and ignorant of how the judiciary operates.
Justice Mohammed, who is retiring from the judiciary after 38 years of service made the observation on Wednesday in Abuja while speaking at a special valedictory session held in his honour.

According to the CJN, such criticisms are made without due considerations of the law and the system of government in the country.

He said that the judiciary is duty bound to act and would continue to act in accordance with the dictates of the law as it stands and not as its critics would want it to be.

Lending his voice, to the position of the CJN, the President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Augustine Alegeh, also condemned in strong terms, the criticism of the Nigerian judiciary.

The NBA President also described the act as ‘a deliberate attempt to disparage the judiciary

I hope Daftus is listening lest his headaches increases the more.
Likewise those sore losers who keeps whipping up sentiments/lies in order to score cheap political points and bring the judiciary into disrepute.

The CJN has spoken: We are in a democracy not military regime and dictates of the rule of law is supreme.

As far as I am concerned, my Noble Lord, Mahmud Mohammed, is one of the most upright & incorruptible CJNs this country has ever known; AND I SHOULD KNOW. We will miss you Sir; you have restored some integrity to the Judiciary. The Law must be certain & consistent at all times & not subject to the whims, caprices, emotions & subjective interpretations of the highest bidder. Wishing you a joyful, healthy & fulfilled life after retirement. YOU ARE ONE OF MODERN NIGERIA'S HEROES

Very shameful indeed! If APC continues like this, they'd destroy all the institutions we have built over the years since the return of democracy in 1999. Whatever doesn't go their way must be destroyed.

This is the height of desperation. Every concerned Nigerian should lend their voice to protecting our institutions, cos the Judiciary is the hope of the common man. We can't allow them to use it the way they are using the DSS now.

It's worrisome my friend.
I fear for this party and their agenda in Nigeria.
