.confirms Justice Auta as CJ of high court

Despite a stiff opposition from Senator Lee Maeba, the Senate yesterday confirmed the nomination of Justice Ibrahim Auta as the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court.

Similarly, the Senate also confirmed the nomination of the former governor of Edo State, Prof Oserhiemen Osunbor as a member of the Nigeria Law Reform Commission.

Justice Auta, who presided over the Military Tribunal that sentenced the foremost Ogoni activist, Ken Saro Wiwa, and other Ogoni activists, was nominated by President Goodluck Jonathan.

But when the Senate President, David Mark, sought the views of the senate whether Justice Auta be confirm, Senator Maeba, who represents Rivers East senatorial district opposed his confirmation, saying he played an active role in the killing of the Ogoni activist.

@ Kasiem: If that is so, why were you complaining about Buhari's hand in the death of Ogoni men in the other thread.

Since when did "The Government made me do it" become a reasonable excuse for doing wrong.

This man found Ken Saro Wiwa and his group guilty and passed a death sentence on them. Now, you are here making excuses for him.

I'm so sorry.

@ gbola

You think Judges are appointed arbitrarily?

I see nothing wrong with his appointment.

why put the carnage in the North at Buhari's feet for making 'inciting statements' then turn around and exonerate Saro-Wiwa when he did the same thing?
