Upon reading the shocking news that president Muhammadu Buhari has suspended the CJN Walter Samuel nkanu onnoghen on the advice of the NJC, I realized that this administration has no regard for the 3rd arm of government.

It is true that we lawyers have our share to blame by not speaking out early enough when he declared national security to be superior to the rule of law as well having kept quiet during this one-sided and loopsided anti-corruption campaign of this administration, but the impunity of Mr president has reached his peak.

It is clearly stated in the constitution the procedure for the removal of the CJN and failure to abide by due process makes such action a nullity.

I urge all lawyers to speak up against this autocratic order and in succession, do the needful by voting in someone who will uphold the sanctity of the rule of law and due process.

The Judiciary allowed itself to be strangulated when they became corrupt ,he should have resigned when his yansh was opened,no nation will take us serious when our CJN is being accused of corruption.

Onnogen admitted that he concealed hidden sums which he couldn't account for how he made them.

The noise now is not whether he's innocent or guilty but whether a Chief Justice who is in breach of the law should be in charge of the law.

You see, I don't pity the CJN and the Judiciary. You see the CJN has turned himself into Wike's houseboy and other Judges of lower courts have turned themselves into houseboys to politicians and their respective state Governors.

If you are close to the judiciary, do you know that judges fight themselves to be posted to oil rich states for election petition? Why? Because of bribe.

When they did this same thing to Justice Isa Ayo Salami, Wike was a Minister under Jonathan. Did he utter a single word?

Say what you will, by the time they start investigating the sources of the funds in Onnoghen's account, he'll be fighting to stay out of prison.

Let them go and sort themselves out. When they were collecting dollars, they didn't call us.

So what do you think is the legal effect of his admission? Do you know that section three of the code of conduct bureau and tribunal act provides that once a person ADMITS to a breach or non compliance with the Act a reference to the tribunal SHALL not be necessary? Here's the proviso:Provided that where the person concerned makes a written admission of such breach or non-compliance, no reference to the Tribunal shall be necessary.

You think he made that admission for nothing?

And furthermore do you know that there's a distinction between false declaration of asset and non-disclosure of assets? Do you know that the Act itself places an obligation on officials of the CCB to examine the assets declaration and ensure that they comply with the Act? Check section 3 of the Act!

Una go just dey yarn without any real knowledge of the issues at stake. Fools who think this is about fighting corruption. I pity you guys. If only you guys know the truth.

In Animal Farm old Benjamin kept on saying Napoleon is always right just as some idiots now say Buhari is fighting corruption. So you think this is about fighting corruption? How incredulous can you guys be? Can't you see this thing for what it is?

nymphomaniac:
nobody said he should not be removed if found guilty. Due process wasn't followed is all we are screaming about!!!!!!!!

Young man be smart, buratai was accused of having properties in Dubai, how does an army officer acquire such wealth? he was exonerated and every thing swept under the carpet, babachir lawal is still walking a free man today after the over 200m grass cutting scandal. Look at the timing of the tradermoni and we are talking of vote buying. Look at the likes of tinubu, amechi, oshimole, where did they get their wealth from? Look at the lekki gate scandal we still don't know the truth about it? A president that brings in retired persons in the case of customs, Dss to head them, a government that has not reshuffled its cabinet, what have the likes of ogbonnaya onu, adamu adamu, Solomon dalung contributed.

Please lets tell ourselves the truth

This government is being very selective and is not transparent. If he wants to suspend the CJN let him follow due process. We have to wake up as a nation

People can be removed based on compelling evidence. The CJN never said the account wasn't his, he simply said he forgot to declare it (we all know better) . That is quite compelling.
Secondly, the question should be, can the CCT's recommendation be considered acceptable. Note that the president acted on CCTs recommendation. Now, that's the key question. And it appears they have the powers to do so

When you start addressing someone you have never met as "young man", it says a lot about you.
In any case, you have not said that the CJN is not corrupt, all you have tried to argue is that they should leave him alone and go after other theives. it's the same song that has been sang over and over.
Next time you catch a theif in your house, tell him to go away and enjoy his loot while you try to catch the one the came the previous year

Buhari must annihilate one side of Nigeria corruption. When PDP gains power maybe in 3020 they will annihilatw the other half.

EponOjuku:

When PDP did same to Justice Isa Ayo Salami, were you in coma then?

You fools can go cry yourselves to death. Look at Paul Usoro the NBA President, that one too is facing trial for money laundering.

See, Wike's secret with the Supreme Court has leaked. They should go and check Mary Odili'd temperature before hypertension kills her.

By next week, they would start investigating the sourced of funds in the accounts Onnoghen refused to declare. That's when you dumb supporters of thieves would cover your faces in shame.
