Justices must go, says govt

Buhari meets CJN Mahmud

Detectives found a Rolls Royce in the fleet of about 15 cars of one of the seven judges under investigation by the Department of State Services (DSS), The Nation learnt yesterday.

The judge was said to have hired a notable construction firm to build his palatial home and imported furniture from Brazil, Argentina and Spain.

The judge, said a source close to the investigation, once conducted his “poor colleagues” around his mansion.

Another judge told the DSS that he did not know how N18million was paid into his account and he did not get alert to enable him complain to his bankers.

One of the judges also said the money found in his account was his accumulated medical allowances.

Another judge was found to have submitted three assets declaration forms to the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB).

The asset forms of the seven judges, who were arrested last weekend in a controversial sting operation, were being analysed by the DSS yesterday.

The Federal Government has foreclosed the return of all the seven judges to the bench.

The government believes the judges cannot be in the dock and be adjudicating at the same time.

Those arrested are: Justices Sylvester Ngwuta and Inyang Okoro – the suspended Presiding Justice of the Court of Appeal, Ilorin Division, Justice Mohammed Ladan Tsamiya, who was picked up in Sokoto; Justice Adeniyi Ademola (Federal High Court); the Chief Judge of Enugu State, Justice I. A. Umezulike; Justice Kabiru Auta of Kano State High Court; and Justice Muazu Pindiga (Gombe State High Court).

Of the seven Justices, Tsamiya, Umezulike and Auta have been recommended for sanctions by the National Judicial Council (NJC).

Detectives have uncovered more corrupt practices traced to some of the judges undergoing probe, the source said, pleading not to be named because he is not permitted to talk to the media.

The source said: “Operatives have discovered that one of the judges owns a mansion which was contracted to a construction firm at a huge cost. In fact, the judge imported furniture from Brazil, Argentina and Spain.

“At a stage, he conducted his ‘poor colleagues’ round the mansion in an open display of affluence. The judge has about 15 cars, including a Rolls Royce. This Rolls Royce was imported.

”During interrogation, another judge told DSS team that he did not know how and when N18million was lodged in his account because he was not getting alert from his bank. But we have evidence of withdrawals from the account.”

Responding to a question, the source added: “We have retrieved the assets declaration forms of these judges. It was shocking that one of them has three asset declaration forms with different dates of birth.”

He said instead, the government had asked the NJC to suspend them, pending the conclusion of their trial.

Those who may not be allowed back to the bench are Justice Ngwuta, Justice Okoro, Justice Ademola and Justice Pindiga.

The source said the judges could be retired.

He said however that the judges will still go through trial to enable Nigerians know that “they were actually caught in the act”.

“The position of the government is that none of these judges will be allowed back to the bench in the interest of the nation’s Judiciary. They cannot be arraigned in the dock and at the same time be adjudicating or attending to cases.

“It is left to the NJC to allow the affected judges to keep off the bench until their fate is determined. But certainly, they will face trial and the outcome will determine whether or not they will be retired or dismissed.

“We are expecting the NJC to do the needful by suspending the judges.”

It was gathered that President Muhammadu Buhari and Chief Justice Mahmud Mohammed had actually met on the arrest of seven judges.

A source said: “The CJN sought for audience and met with the President on Saturday on the arrest of the judges. I think they compared notes but no one can give you the details.

“I think the President must have briefed the CJN on the security reports at his disposal.”

Great

They should dance the music by force.
Money entered your account as a judge but you don't know how & when it entered *is alright*
Rolls Royce * no wahala*









A noble profession has to be noble profession, not just by name but also...........

Ok

How many exotic cars and bikes are in the garage of Dino Melaye? Oh I forgot, he's an APC card carrying member.

Despicable

Surely we will get there!

Our judiciary must be sanitised!

so why was buhari acting as president while he was accused of certificate forgery?

judges,
ntooorrrr.
you should have removed that smelly idiot of daura when i told you.

15 cars wow. I hope he's a collector because cars depreciate very fast. Unless they're classic cars they don't resell that well.

While I can't totally doubt this news knowing how vain we Nigerians are, mentioning the name of the judge wouldn't be out of place and showing us pictures of the said 15 cars and the mansion will further convince me.

If you can consider it proper to flood newspapers with allegations instead of taking it as exhibits/evidence to law courts, then it will only be proper to flood same newspapers with pictorial evidences.
Till that is done, it remains gossip.

I ve been cying since. Saturday for Nigeria haba. Judges r next to God who can order u to b killed but wat do we c here? Dis ppl dish out judgement to d highest bidder. N yet some ver poor nigerians will still come here to defend dem dats y I can't stop cryin. For d 1st tym it's not abt Apc or PDP but abt d Nigerian project

So is this what they intend to present to the courts? That a judge has a rolls Royce.What part of our constitution did that violate?

These are the same judges that have sent many Nigerians to jail for petty stealing and armed robbery yet they are worse

I dey tell you. The idiotic judges had every opportunity to stop the tyrant from contesting the 2015 election but they foolishly thought he was a Messiah coming to salvage the nation and see the fate that has befallen them today.

DaBullIT:



Truly truly mumu na mumu

God bless lagbaja

If you think being a wailer is hard, try being a zombie. You will defend the indefensible till you go weary, just look at how the poster ^^^^^ is running helter skelter just to defend his master & shoe shiners who could not make statement & back it up with viable facts. We never argued that DSS didn't find RR in one is of the judge's car fleet, but at least let them attach the pictures to convince us(Nigerians) & the world at large that they are truly fighting corruption, but this man up there chose to make it his personal problem.

rusher14:


As usual you would look for any technicality that supports evil.

The CCB asset declaration forms for public officers are sworn affidavits.

At the very least these judges would lose their jobs if they've violated their oath.

If they have all this imaginary evidence why were they released before arraignment?
BTW this is not technicality, it is a hard fact.Every Nigerian has the right to own property
