rubbish, the reason DSS have to go into their houses instead of first going to NJC is obvious so I wonder why all this SANS continues "beating the same horse".


Don't the government needs hard evidence to prosecute these corrupt judges? And how exactly will they get that? By informing the NJC? By informing the Judges ahead of a search? And the monies will be there waiting for them?

Then all this Big SANS just lamenting DSS did this did that, they never actually proceed to tell exactly how DSS broke the law.

Manspeaks:

It is obvious you do not understand what justice/injustice entails...it is not thinking with your heart but with your head!

neocortex:


It is not a matter of what you feel, it is the "due process" that matters.
A sitting judge or police should be suspended/dismissed before trial, if the case
favours the accused then he/she can be reinstated.

Innocent until proven guilty applies to how the court views the suspect not the
process leading to the arraignment which depends on a lot of factors.

pedel:


They still have to be arrested first.

neocortex:


Arrested for what purpose ?

Jirate:


But why is it difficult for you to understand what the SAN is saying, Follow Due Process. Simple, Any other way will meet a dead End.
To use your Example, if a Police man shoot a Judge dead, his colleagues will arrest him, Dismiss Him from the service First, before taking him to Court for Trails.

OrlandoOwoh:
This man has spoken like Ozekhome did on Sunday, quoting an old Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) that was amended during the last administration and signed by Jonathan in 2015. The new ACJA says security agencies, with a warrant, can carry out an arrest of a search at any time of the day, even in the dead of the night. They can carry out an arrest on weekends and public holidays.

pedel:
So if a Supreme Court judge commits felony he can't be charged to court?
Let's say a Supreme Court judge shot his gate man dead in the middle of the night and the neighbours call the police, does it mean the judge can't be arrested and charge for murder?
This country is definitely screwd.

Saib4Jesus:


if the judge commits murder will he not be arrested first before he will be suspended of dismissed?

jimi4us:
it's only in Nigeria illiterates like you think they know more than we learned people. If you can't understand what my fellow colleague Mr babalola have outlined then I think you're as dumb as Buhari

farihafaheemah:
Sorry sir I disagree with you Lawyer Afe, the DSS wrote NJC concerning the corrupt judges but they didn't take action. They ought to have charged to court by now but due to NJC diplomacy also hindered the corrupt judges being arraingned. They are human being like every other Nigerians. Nobody is above the law. Let them face the music. Enough is enough. Radical situation requires radical solution.

The NJC must dismiss them first before they can be Brought before another Judge and tried like any common offender.
What Buhari has done now is Putting the Cart before the Horse, it doesn't work that way.

gbemoh:

Lol at his colleagues arresting him, Oga listen to yourself!! The judiciary doesn't do that

989900:
He must have bribed a judge, maybe. This is a man I know personally, and have so much respect for.

omoseth:
Some people are letting their emotions get over their sense of reasoning over this issue. Nobody is saying Judges can't be arrested/ face trial or prosecuted if found wanting of any crime or wrong deeds. what we are saying is that the right thing must be done. The right thing here is to wait for the NJC to look into the matter and do the needful accordingly. If the DSS goes ahead to put the judges on trial without NJC removing them first as judges ,i hate to say the case will go under the guillontine.

Sibrah:
Our legal people are big problem. See all of them quoting silly laws. Diezani who has eloped to UK today is practically unreachable due to laws formulated and influenced by same class of people being investigated.

CACAWA:
watch your mouth

pedel:


Bros, stop playing games and chatting with your phone. Try and be reading educative contents online. It help to improve your understanding and point of views. It's God's advice that you lean not on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5

The case against them were not dropped. Two more judges were arrested yesterday.

When you read that the cases were dropped it's to tell you that some people are pressurising or blackmailing the FG not to move forward.

For you to even mention that the FG won't win any cases in the future because judges were arrested proves that your thinking is infantile.

jeffizy:
The justification or otherwise of this particular case is becoming boring.
Let's move from horse trading to trials. If found guilty, convict them and we move to the next one.

kcnwaigbo:

Does the DSS have any evidence to prove these Judges collected bribes? What about the executive? Who polices them if they are corrupt?
