SillyMods:

Who says DsS don't have evidences? That they don't want to give to NJC does not mean they don't have the evidences. Wait till they're arraigned in court to see evidence.

And it's childish and naive to think there are no credible upright judges to bring those corrupt judges to justice. Some upright judges will even fight to preside over those corrupt judges'cases.

Marotzke:
All these media trials, championed by faceless people who would readily recant when necessary.

No one seems to remember that these allegations were made by a " Top government source who spoke in confidence ".
No name, no designation. And people are foaming in the mouth.

So, this nor dey una SOP before?

Is it not common sense that DSS should present their evidence against those Judges to the NJC before asking them to step aside? You can't accuse someone just like that without presenting evidence and expect the person to step down to be. Meanwhile,how about Amaechi and co? When are they going to step aside to be investigated?

tuniski:
Buhari should equally step aside for investigation of his certificate issue. Likewise all those in the executive with issues!

richidinho:

Buhari must step down in order to probe his Waec certificate forgery

:

Well since the NJC has refused to be cowed,I hope you go ahead and commit suicide

This is what will happen should NJC refuse to suspend those judges.

1. The judges will be arraigned in court irrespective of no suspension. No law says they can't be arranged.

2. The Judiciary will be further rubbished and lose further credibility in the eyes of Nigerians.

3. Nigerians will pressure the CJN/NJC to suspend those judges to at least bring some credibility back to the bench.

Their is only one body that has the power to suspend judges, NJC. It cannot go ahead and do so without presenting evidence as to why he is suspending them, so DSS must present its evidence to NJC. What if after suspending them, the evidences turn out to be hoax? How will you feel if you head NJC? DSS after the operation made Nigerians believe they presented Njc with evidence but it refused to act, forcing them to carry out sting operation. Now NJC has denied that and DSS cannot substantiate its allegation rather it is insisting that the judges step down without evidence, do you believe that is proper? If DSS has lied once, what is the assurance they are not lieing again regarding having evidence? Why did DSS start a unilateral operation it cannot end trying now to armtwist NJC? You started without NJC accusing it of bias, then finish off without NJC now! Why did it not follow law and collaborate with NjC to do the operation? Can there be any underlying motive?
The NjC cannot suspend judges without presenting reasons. The prerogative to step down rest with the judges, they can and they might not. Saraki didn't step down. Amaechi was accused by his state of corruption, he didn't step down and the executive didn't insist he does. The president was accused of not possessing requisite certificate prior to election, he went ahead to contest despite that; since he won he is yet to present his certificate yet he didn't step down and no one is insisting he does. Why should the judges step down now? What is good foe the goodies is good for the ganders they say.
I believe corruption can only be fought in an environment where there is strict adherence to law and due process. Executive and its agents are not doing that, they are simply ridiculing our system, fight a shambolic corruption war. Trying to fight one corruption with another. It won't work. Nigerians are too emotional, always jumping at every sensational news in the name of corruption fight. The only way to rid the country of corruption is to properly define it and let everyone including the executive start the corruption fight with itself by always following due process, else we push the country into chaos and anarchy. Justice is got only on moral principles. He who goes to equity, they say must go with clean hands. Let the executives remove the log in its eyes before trying to remove splinter on other people eyes. Executive itself is corrupt. Defiance of law and laid down regulation is the bedrock, the foundation on which corruption thrives.

Buhari stop trying to distract us these rubbish news.

You have no educational certificate.

the country is suffering.


Buhari u are holding Kanu & Dansuki with out judgement.

It is morally wrong for a judge facing trial on corruption charges to continue his duties as a judge.

It just irritates my bowels whenever I see NJC crap everywhere. Since when did NJC become a "court" in this land, and why have some people become such die hard proponents of this body??

Were these not these same people excited about the reluctance of President Jonathan to reinstate Justice Ayo Isa Salami as the president of Court of Appeal when he was cleared of any wrongdoing and recommended by the NJC to be reinstated??

Imagine their comments back then when the gentleman became frustrated he had to tender his letter of intent to resign after two years of innaction by the then president Goodluck Jonathan:



... and a whole lot of such other comments. To make matters even worse, he was suspended for blowing the whistle on Justice Katsina-Alu, the then CJN and these guys saw absolutely nothing wrong with it since we were in the era when corruption was the Lingua franca in our society. Today, NJC has suddenly become Bae (apologies to Modath).

What a laughable bunch.

mapet:


Let me add that the CJN will also exit ignobly

thunder74:

NJC suspends and sanctions judges based on investigated petitions with evidence. On what bases would they be suspending the judges when DSS refuses to give them something to work with.

Secondly, our laws mandates prosecutor to make all his evidences available to the accused before trials.

Lastly, for me, from the government actions so far, it is obvious they wanted these judges out by all means. Even if the matters are filed in court today, they will be abandoned after all, the judges would have been suspended. Mission accomplished.

2HASUM:


What is their offence? I mean Kanu and Dasuki. I am sure he is not holding you?

These judges are accused. Evidence against them will be presented in a court of law. They should go to the court to clear their names. But they should step aside for the period they may be in court so that the activities of the office they occupy should not be halted. Simple and fair!!!

This country must be run through the rule of law else we are all finished.

The Nigerian Constitution empowered National Judicial Council to suspend judges from the position so that they are prosecuted.

You don't suspend a judge based on sentiments and emotions. If the DSS is serious about their claims, they should formally tender the evidence to the Council.

Countries are built on laws not sentiments, hearsay, emotions, and media trials.

We must get it right in this country...DSS should tender the evidence to hasten their prosecution and end this drama.
