Another Lawyer Bribed Nigerian High Court Justice Yunusa With $5,000 by retsonbiz(m): 6:11pm On Feb 29, 2016
Another senior Nigerian lawyer, Joseph Nwobike (SAN), bribed Federal High Court judge Mohammed Yunusa with N1 million ($5,000), investigators at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have revealed..

Justice Yunusa is the same judge whom the commission also said recently had accepted a bribe of N225,000 from another lawyer, Ricky Tarfa (SAN). Mr. Nwobike obtained a rare injunction from Justice Yunusa against security agencies stopping them from arresting or investigating a Personal Assistant (PA) to Patrick Akpobolokemi, the former DG of the Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA). EFCC investigators had found that the PA to Akpobolokemi purchased a house on Banana Island in Lagos from proceeds of transfers from NIMASA’s account.

However, Mr. Nwobike ran to Justice Yunus and obtained an injunction stopping the security agencies from arresting or investigating the PA. SaharaReporters learnt that when the lawyer was shown the evidence of his bribe to Justice Yunusa, who arrested him last week, he nearly collapsed in front of EFCC investigators. Justice Yunusa has been transferred to Yobe pending the outcome of several investigations of corruption against him. The judge has been named in the issuance of suspicious injunctions to prevent law enforcement agents from carrying out corruption investigations. He is alleged to have issued the injunction that prevented the EFCC from arresting a Nigerian Senator, Stella Oduah, for the scandalous and corrupt way she purchased BMW cars for the aviation agencies a few years ago when she was a minister.

The government, the ministry of science and technology and the judiciary has left Nigeria down all years.

The ministry of science and technology has let us down by not contribution anything to the growth of the nation.
The government has been anti-people.
The judiciary has been heavily selective in discharging its duties.

The judiciary is and has been severely bastardized

Damn!!! PMB is a kinda blessing in disguise. This rot would have continued unabated and unbeknown to the masses who depends on the judiciary for Justice, thank God for the Magu's balls with PMB support.

Incase you didn't notice too, the two cases against Justice Yunusa is Wazobia, while the hordes of jobless NL armchair warriors bicker all day long.

As far as I am concerned judge Yunusa is just a scapegoat.
What of the judge that gave perpetual injunction from prosecution on Peter odili and those judges that upheld Wike's election?
For this to have any meaningful impact,the EFCC must be ready to go the whole hog up to the SC to clear the judiciary of the mess politicians dug them into.
Yunusa is just one bad apple in a basket full of many rotten bunch.

When PMB complained that the judiciary was the problem in the fight against corruption, wailers called him a dictator who doesn't know separation of power. The NJC, NBA and other judicial bodies that are always quick to condemn Mr President should speak on these allegations against Yunusa.

#istandwithbuhari# may God grant PMB the wisdom to navigate through this dangerous path.
Nigeria must move forward, things must make sense.
Ride on Mr President, but please we need more improvement in our economy

Am telling you. It might take PMB longer dan expected to sanitize d Nigerian system. D corruption is already flowing in d DNA Nigerians, How would a Judge uphold d law and deliver credible judgement when he's also a culprit?
