that court proceeding was suspended for him to attend screening is just a rumour from the rumour mill. some other factors could be the be responsible for that. The fact still stands that the issue being raised is not enough to make him unfit for the job.

I'm not even arguing this. The judge knows that the client's lawyer might very well soon be his boss and might already be open to compromise with his career prospects in mind.

Ocholi might be already privy to information that would indict his clients if known to the prosecution. When he becomes AGF, is he just going to magically forget this information?

There's no logical way to rationalise this nonsense.

This man is an honest man.I know him personally. Leave the believe that lawyers are liars out of here.It takes a smart mind to defend a person accused of any crime.He is one Lawyer that'll make Heaven cos outside his charges, he is a clean guy who is never afraid to take up though cases cos they pay more.He is a preacher of righteousness.

Sahara Reporters, every person charged with a criminal offense has the right to be represented by a counsel. This right is guaranteed by the 1999 Constitution. This is provided for in S. 36 (6) (c) of the 1999 Constitution. Also the Rules of Professional Conduct 2007 that guides the conducts of Lawyers in Rules 24 has made it mandatory for a lawyer to accept all briefs (clients) that come to him.
Wailing can continue wailing. We aren't tired of hearing the wails.

Yes.

Attorney Generals in most sane countries have a background in public prosecution.

A lawyer with a background in criminal defence is a poor choice to be made an AGF or minister of Justice.

How can you be made the head of an institution you built a career out of fighting?

Nihilist:

But he's getting paid to go against the state. Several times more that the state could ever pay him sef.
There's no argument about this. Clash of interest. This should NOT be happening

As a professional he is not obliged to disclose such information. Though ethical dilemma might arise in such case. The state might get certain information from any one as the need might arise for it. The question of is he being objective and seen to be so when such matter arises? I think the best is not to give him the role of attorney General, because even if he is fair he might not be seen as being so.

This is simply another dirty job someone who is eyeing the Min of Justices/AGF slot has commissioned Sahara Reporters (SR) to do.

It is shameful that SR will seek to rubbish a lawyer for defending a client professionally. What was Ocholi supposed to do? Administer lie detector test before taking on clients?

Lawyers are like doctors, you treat the good, the bad and the ugly. If the lawyers were to start moralizing, then there will be no lawyer to defend armed robbery suspects.

People should see the story for what it is - a paid job. Period

After all murderers have defence lawyers.
Leave Ocholi alone, this means that he knows his work and he is a brilliant defence lawyer

well if you are expecting 100% Saint in PMB cabinet then you are living in denial, remember the president does not want to appoint minister but the constitution does not permit him. So he has to go for lesser devil and people he can control in his Government. Even if you are corrupt in the past you have to change in this Government.

Is that why the Dullard from Daura:

- gave bailouts to governors who stole our money to fund his campaign?
- continues paying subsidy to the cabal despite saying he knows nothing about subsidies?

Sahara Reporters, rather than red-flag this Barrister for clients he represents in Court, we should praise PMB for picking a heavily competent Barrister.

It takes courage and conescimento to accept such briefs. I'll be glad to see such a highly courageous person as AG & I'll praise PMB for it

But what has come these Nigerians, zombies in a zoo republic. That a lawyer is standing in to defend an accused person, who has not be declared a criminal by a competent court of law, does that confirm such a lawyer a criminal not qualified to be a minister? If such submission is right and admissible then any president is Nigeria, where there are noticeable criminals, is also a criminal. That is QED.

My dear fellow Nigerians and Mr President, Muhammadu Buhari, please ignore the paid and insincere and very ungodly publication from Sahara Reporters. The best man for the office of the AGF/Minister of Justice was recently discovered by the Senate during the Ministerial Screening, and his name remains James Ocholi (SAN).

Sahara Reporters has been paid to stir a propaganda and campaign of calumny against the person of Ocholi. And if you intelligently go through the said publication, you will find the sponsors name clearly written.
