On arrest of judges and Sahara Reporters’
slant
ON October 18, 2016 11:00 AM / IN
Viewpoint / Comments
JOURNALISM, like any other noble
profession, is practised by diligent, educated
and proud people. A journalist undergoes
tutelage and is well apprised of the norms,
dos and don’ts of the profession. A
journalist, variously known as a reporter or
editor, remains with that tag for life even if
he ventures into any other profession. One of
the main tenets of journalism is credibility.
A journalist or media house must be credible,
reliable and trustworthy. The news from a
credible media house is regarded as the
truth, the whole truth and nothing but the
truth. When the reading public starts
doubting the authenticity of news published
by a media house, such a medium is slowly
inching its way into oblivion or extinction.
Since the start of electioneering campaigns in
2014, a particular online medium, Sahara
Reporters, has been dishing out numerous
false reports about individuals and
organisations that make the discerning
people like this writer think twice before
believing stories from the house. A few
months ago, it announced to the world that
the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Buratai,
acquired some properties in Dubai which he
did not declare in the appropriate Code of
Conduct Bureau document. The news later
turned out to be false as even the Code of
Conduct Bureau has given the Army General
a Certificate of Clearance.
There are many other instances where
reports of Sahara Reporters were seen as
malicious or false. Take for instance, a news
item in the online medium on Tuesday
October 11, 2016 with the headline, Chief
Judge of Nigeria’s Federal High Court
implicated in $13m Bribery Arrest.
It reported that Justice Adeniyi Ademola of
the Federal High Court, Abuja, in whose
home over $550,000.00 was allegedly found
during the raid on his residence by
operatives of the Department of State
Services, DSS, last weekend had confessed
to a deal between him and Chief Judge Auta
by which $300,000.00 of the physical cash
found in his bedroom was to have been
shared between them. As a newshound, I
have searched other online media and many
print media publications to read the news of
this “confession” by Justice Ademola to the
DSS but I did not find it. Maybe this
information about this confession was
exclusively given to the media house. Such a
big story is a front page news by any
standard. The credibility is definitely suspect.
There were many other allegations against
the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court in
the said confessional statement by Justice
Ademola. The report also stated that
“Sahara Reporters learnt that C. J Auta was
quizzed and quietly released the previous day
by the DSS”. Diligent investigations carried
out by this writer which are easily verifiable
indicate that Justice Auta was not invited by
the DSS not to talk of his being quietly or
loudly released.
Reliable information further showed that in
his written statement to the DSS, Justice
Ademola never confessed to any crime or
implicate anybody, including Judges. The
alleged confession is, therefore, a mere
figment of the imagination of Sahara
Reporters. How far can a news medium go to
damage the reputation of a Judicial Officer or
impugn his integrity.
It is common knowledge that the Judiciary is
the last hope of the common man. Officers in
the temple of justice are seen as being used
by Almighty God to dispense Truth and
Justice to all manner of persons.
They are highly regarded as infallible, fair
and equitable in their arduous task. However,
being human beings and not God, they can
make mistakes. Some of them may even fall
to the temptation of bribery as the National
Judicial Council has discovered and punished
the guilty ones recently. But, it beats one’s
imagination why lies and falsehood will be
fabricated to malign an innocent Judicial
Officer just to bring him to disrepute, odium
or contempt.
What does this medium gain by this? I do
not know if Judicial Officers are allowed to
take legal action on matters like this, while
still on their desks. If so, I humbly advise or
rather request Hon. Justice Auta to take
appropriate steps and seek redress on the
damage done to his reputation by this
medium. When the media house pays a
reasonable amount in damages and
compensation, it will learn the bitter lessons
and practise journalism the way it should be
practised.
Instead of falsely attributing a confessional
statement to Justice Ademola, why not wait
for the DSS to use the confessional
statement in the charge it will prefer against
the Judge and perhaps, Justice Auta. The
story is in fact disgusting, disappointing and
tendentious. This media house should retrace
its steps now before it becomes an agent of
sensational publications that are full of
sound and fury, but unfortunately signify
nothing, apologies to William Shakespeare.
