mkpologwu: Marcel Awolowo-ku-lehin (ie awolowo die behind him)! How possible Awo die behind this Marcel I want to believe you're just playing with words or probably feigning ignorance. Am not yoro but Lagos born and bred and know Awokulehin would be something like Awo(not Awolowo) is behind. I may be wrong but you definitely are.. i agree it is hightime people in whatever position start being held responsible in Nigeria. Le's hope the man is held accountable..somehow |

The court in Asaba was built specifically for the Ibori case and Awokulehin was shipped in to deliver a specific judgement. In Nigeria, justice is a commodity that can be purchased only by the rich. Clearing the Nigerian system is a gargantuan task that will take years. 1 Like |

Who gave the London Metropolitan Police the dossier of evidence from Nigeria that was used to prosecute and convict Ibori in the UK? It was the EFCC. The EFCC was able to do that only after the former Attorney General, Michael Aodoakaa was eased out of his position when GEJ took over. It was Aondoakaa, and by extension Yar'Adua who was stalling the cooperation of the EFCC with the London Met Police. It was that same evidence that the EFCC presented before Justice Marcel Awokulehin. Mind you, Awokulehin quashed 170 charges! A whole 170 counts of criminality. Ibori was even given the privilege of not taking a plea pointing to a predetermined judgement. Ibori was charged in the UK with only about 10 of those charges and convicted. Awokulehin is a disgrace to his family, children, conscience, uprightness and the judiciary. The Nigeria judiciary which he belongs is rotten. This judge had been compromised with lucre. There are reports that he was bribed with $5 million. The supreme Court is the worst. An abuja magistrate swore under oath that he convicted a James Onanefe Ibori of a crime in 1994. The Supreme Court still ruled that there was "no evidence" that the James Onanefe Ibori convicted by that judge is the same James Onanefe Ibori running for reelection in 2003. Evidence of his UK conviction for petty theft and handling stolen credit cards were ruled inadmissible. 1 Like |

And this case, very, very tragically indeed, confirms my long held suspicion that the ''Nigerian judiciary being the last hope of the common man'' mantra was as nothing more than flatulent rhetoric designed to keep the more gullible of us in a false sense hope about our country's democracy. True, there have been one or two celebrated cases where corrupt practices appeared to have punitively dealt with. but I don't think there are more than one or two. Furthermore, there is the growing suspicion that those cases only end up that way because there are political, and not legal, interests involved. I fully concur with such sentiments. Lets face it: the Nigerian judiciary, like almost all other sectors of our country is the very embodiment of corruption. pity 2 Likes |

Buncha Ignoramuses one even dey talk about jury!! in nigerian legal system? is it not the case thats presented before the judge that the judge will examine before ruling? can anyone of u argue with the barest modicum of sense that the case of the prosecution was properly collated and professionally presented such that the decision the court arrived at is perverse? when the prosecution is not interested in doing their job and or do such a shoddy job of it, hide/subvert evidence, deliberately demonstrate incompetence, do u expect the judge to unilaterally manufacture a case against the accused? a good example is this Erastus Akingbola case, 5 SANs supposedly did such a shoddy job that the judge threw out the case. In high profile cases, its way easier to get the prosecutor to compromise and do a bad job, than toget a judge to overtly compromise. the best the judge can do is to covertly tell the prosecutor what to do to undermine the case!!! u all come here to badmouth a judge without any iota of proof other than your beer parlor drunken permutations of who must be guilty and who is innocent. rubbish |

4llerbuntu: Buncha Ignoramuses You have a point, as that is the way these things go. However, I think what happened in the Ibori case was beyond prosecutorial bungling. It was more likely a grand collusion - AG, judge, and likely the prosecution. You will recall that there was no FEDERAL HIGH COURT, ASABA, until Ibori. Mr Aondoakaa hurriedly put FHC, Asaba, together for Ibori and procured a judge for the job. So the case was fixed from the start. There were alarms raised at the time, but this is Nigeria. |

To kinda digress, what of the judge that allowed Odili (fmr Gov. Of Rivers) to get an injunction that prevents his administration from being investigated by any security agency? Now Odili's wife is a Supreme court judge.....na wa for Naija o. Such people should be in jail. |

I am not sure if the judge can be held solely responsible A judge can only adjudicate based on what the prosecution brings before him, if the prosecutors come forward and were stammering and saying rubbish, What do you expect the judge to do? In Iboris case, The powers were interested from the level of the presidency (Yar Adua) AGF (Aodonkaa) and Delta governor (Uduaghan) All they need is for the prosecutors to present a useless case and ANY judge in the world would throw it out Look at the case of Akingbola Erastus that was just freed, The Judge was soo angry that the prosecutors were unserious with the case and he freed Erastus. So you cant blame the Judge In the UK, The prosecutors took their jobs seriously and the Nigerian govt were not able to interfere |

Wasnt it the same Delta State who came out and said it was a private matter? Just assume you were the Judge, The AGF said Ibori didnt steal money, Delta state said it was a private issue and the Governor sent an Affidavit that money no lost. The prosecutors came to court and told you their evidence was from a Pastor who saw vision of Ibori stealing Wetin you wan do to convict am? |

noiseless: @Daftyokanu. Be very careful with what you like to vomit here in your attempt to defend your tribe man, people are very angry and this case is bigger than your shiit. Rational reason is beyond you anyway so we cant expect anything sensible What has tribesman got to do with evidence brought before a judge Did you have access to the case brought before the Judge or you expect the judge to go digging himself? Any sane person would have seen how the irresponsible prosecutors behaved in the case of Erastus or was the judge at fault there too? Thinking has never been your forte just keep too making Noise as your username suggest |

Now my question is WHO WAS THAT JUDGE THAT QUITTED IBORI OF THE CHARGES AGAINST HIM IN NIGERIA? That judge should be stripped of whatever title he has, disgraced, humiliated and possibly banned. If that man was to be my father walahi i go disfather am, for falling his hand nd name for money. Back to the question, WHAT IS THAT JUDGE'S NAME? Don't mind our judiciary system. Its a bundle of mistrust and abused of office. They respect money more than their names. Time will surely tell. |

And u angry as u may me would hv nufin 2do,but 2 pas judgment 4reein d person dat kiled ur broda. So d validity of d prosecutors evidence and hw it is presented also coms into play.

cold: The painful thing about the Ibori's saga in Naija is that the judge didn't even allow him to take a plea.He just dismissed the charges outright-all 147 of them.Can you beat that?Only in NigeriaThat is appalling and surprizing! |
Re: And Who Is That Nigerian Judge That Pronouced Ibori Innocent? by Nobody: 7:09am On Apr 22, 2012 |
The judge will be brought to justice only when pigs fly. no be naija we should be the ones pressurizing the government to do the right things. Us citizens get to prove their cases to the government through the use of peititions(thousands actually). why can't we have educated men do the same in Nigeria? |
Re: And Who Is That Nigerian Judge That Pronouced Ibori Innocent? by Nobody: 7:42am On Apr 22, 2012 |
Beaf:the judge cant be crucified without us looking into how efcc handled the case.efcc is so corrupt that they easily bungle corruption cases in court once they are induced financially;at times like this,the judge could just strike out the case based on one technicality,or want of evidence,or lack of merit;this doesnt mean the accused was declared innocent. |
