At first he said he would bring in special courts
Later he put in place a legal big brother
Now he wants fearless judges
In all this he has neglected the strengthening of the Judiciary institution in its totality

The fool is an illiterate and does not know the limit of his powers under a democracy.The judiciary is an independed arm of government and under no obligation to accept directives from anybody on which judges to assign to any case

We are heading towards brazen autocratic rule

Our correspondent also gathered that Buhari was already considering withdrawing national honours from any individual found to have looted the nation’s treasury.
It was learnt that the President’s position was that the nation should not be seen to be honouring any fruadulent person.

Good

“The President will not hesitate to strip any corrupt person of national honour. Can you honour a person for milking the nation dry? It is irrelevant how long such persons have been bestowed with the national honours,
they will be stripped of them,” the source said.

Correct

Action please

Baba please tamper justice with mercy.

Junk journalism!!! The presidency has no such powers to chose judges to try any case!! There is no such powers in our constitution which confers any such powers on the executive.

These propagandas by the APC and its media outlets are becomming sickening!!! This was exactly what Bishop Kukah was talking about!!!

Oga Chukwudi, the fact that there is freedom of expression does not mean you should grab a keypad and start typing gibberish. Remember you have customers to attend to at your spare part shop. Pls leave criticism to the intellectuals.

Mumu this is law and not propaganda. Buhari does not have the powers to appoint any judge to handle any case. I expect fools like you that show me the section of our constitution where you think gave The president the powers to assign judges to handle cases

nnachukz:
When you handpick judges to handle your cases, won't they be bias in discharging their duties? Indirectly you are trying to become a judge in your case.

My brother my thought too o. When you make statement like this you are basically already sounding bias and making prejudicial statements. By saying fearless and courageous, we are talking about people ready and eager to jail people t please the master. The question is the judicial arm of government is an independent part of a democratic system, it cannot be allowed to and must not be manipulated by the executive arm (Presidency). Itsey Sagay as a renowned lawyer is expected to advise the president on that. All things must follow a due democratic norm.
Only National Judicial Council has right to appoint judges I believe.

Most judges are fearless, but are left in the hands of the judged after proceedings, while politicians who don't contribute much go around in police escorts.
Give our judges escorts or good protection and I am very sure they are patriotic Nigerians and would do the right thing.
-My contribution to moving Nigeria forward.

it will be not hard to create fearless judges...give them higher salaries....let them be best paid in nigeria,even the world..(we all know you can buy loyalty,jonathan tried but he was too clueless),give them the best protection available in nigeria),guards,bodyguards,guards of honor...and the most important part is,you must protect their familys and children too...a man is very vulnerable and easyly manipulated,because of the fear for his or her family and children...if you can archieve that,before you know you will have saints...........

presentley:
President Muhammadu Buhari has commenced the process of identifying a few fearless and courageous judges who will be saddled with the responsibility of prosecuting persons who have been found to have stolen national resources, THE PUNCH has learnt.

Buhari had while granting audience to members of the National Peace Committee led by Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar in the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Tuesday disclosed that the prosecution of the indicted persons would commence in a matter of weeks.

“Those who have stolen the national wealth will be in court in a matter of weeks and Nigerians will know those who have short-changed them,” the President had told his guests.

Our correspondent however learnt on Sunday that the prosecution would not be open to “just any judge.”

It was learnt that the President was committed to ensuring that only judges who would expedite action on the cases and would be fearless in discharging their duties would be enlisted for the prosecution.

A source confided in our correspondent that that was one of the assignments Buhari gave to the Prof. Itse Sagay-led Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption which he set up on Monday.

The source said it would not be necessary to set up special courts to try corruption cases since efforts were already underway to identify judges that would key into the President’s dream of ensuring that no looter was left unpunished.

He said, “We do not need to entertain any fear that the prosecution of corruption-related cases will not be fast enough because many of our courts are already weighed down by many cases.

“The truth of the matter is that not all judges will be considered to take up the cases of those who have stolen our commonwealth.

“As a matter of fact, one of the assignments the President gave the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption led by Prof. Sagay is to identify fearless and courageous judges that will handle the cases.

“The idea is to ensure that the judges who will handle the cases will not be just any judges. They must be those who will expedite actions on the cases and discharge their duties with courage.

“You can see that with this development, the issue of special courts for corruption cases may not come. It is about special judges.”

Our correspondent also gathered that Buhari was already considering withdrawing national honours from any individual found to have looted the nation’s treasury.

It was learnt that the President’s position was that the nation should not be seen to be honouring any fruadulent person.

“The President will not hesitate to strip any corrupt person of national honour. Can you honour a person for milking the nation dry? It is irrelevant how long such persons have been bestowed with the national honours, they will be stripped of them,” the source said.

When contacted, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, said it was reasonable that anybody found to be corrupt should be stripped of national honours.

Adesina however said such withdrawal of national honours would not be done until affected persons had been convicted by competent courts.

“Although it has not been considered, it is reasonable that those found guilty of corruption should be stripped of national honours bestowed on them. However, this will not be done before conviction,” the presidential spokesman said.

While announcing the establishment of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption on Monday, Adesina had said its brief was to advise the present administration on the prosecution of the war against corruption and the implementation of required reforms in Nigeria’s criminal justice system.

He said the committee was also saddled with the responsibility of developing comprehensive interventions for achieving the recommended reforms.



http://www.punchng.com/news/buhari-seeks-fearless-judges-to-try-looters/

The Mo'fukcing dullard should start with Tinubu and Rochas!!

Claiming Mr. Integrity when it's obvious he's just attacking PDP members!

Buhari should know that judges are like referee whether fearless or not. Judges dont just convict anybody based on mob expectations or if prosecution is weak. Fed govt lose 90% of their good cases based on weak prosecution and use of charge & bail lawyers. There4 FG should get good lawyers build water tight cases with strong evidence only then there will be hope of convinction. There should also be judicial reform so that the system can work to reduce reliance on personality (fearless judges) because this is a subjective approach as man can change anytime

Buhari should not make the mistake of attempting to fight the judiciary else that arm of government would fight back and the APC would suffer at the various tribunals and other cases hanging in the courts

Anyone that Say. Buhari would die before end. Of this year would. Die before end of October. Sai Buhari..

ODIMMA
