The NJC has more than 20 petitions against judges in the lower and appellate courts.

A member of the NJC said: “There are many outstanding petitions before the NJC against more judges. These allegations border on delay in delivering judgment, abuse of judicial oath, request for bribe and others.

“But the Preliminary Complaint Assessment Committee is going through the claims, affidavits in support and evidence against the judges.

“It is when a prima facie case is established against them that a report will be tabled before the NJC for investigation and disciplinary action.

“The process is cumbersome and painstaking. Those behind these petitions owe the NJC a duty to prove their allegations beyond reasonable doubt. Otherwise, petitions without evidence won’t be considered by the council.”

The source added: “For instance, four petitions were filed against Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court but all the allegations were frivolous.

“The committee discovered that the judge discharged his duties within the law; he committed no infractions and the petitions were dismissed at the preliminary stage.”

But the committee has found no merit in the four petitions against Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court because “he acted within the law”.

Then the appropriate petition has not bEen lodged.

***picks pen & paper***

Justice Okon Abang is as immuned as Buhari's kitchen cabinet, Security Chiefs and Ministers in matters of corruption and prosecution.


These sets are protected by presidential pillars of fire in the night and pillar of cloud by the day and in all circumstances.


Be not deceived, there may be scapegoats but the cover-ups are astronomical.

Ofcos they will dismiss such allegations now, is he not a close aide to Buhari n d APC?

How can mighty A bang be allowed to fall when Buhari without certificate still rules;
Kyari with MTN's N500m is in power;
Amaechi with funds in foreign accounts holds sway
Fashola with N150m/borehole is the superman in this govt; while
Tinubu, Africa's largest Landlord is the leader.

Abang committed no offence so long as he us fighting PDP (corruption').

Ok its comments like this that end up being dismissed by the commission. Allegations are not correct just because u wish they are. He who alleges must prove. If u dont have proof, pls nitori olorun, BE QUIET!

PDP and these fast se-destruct IPOB goons will never reason rationally, as their sense of belonging has been completely eroded with sentiment, leaving them with ill-judgement and prejudice. One will want to imagine hw PDP self inflicted problem be blamed on APC, when fayose, wike and ifeanyi uguanyin were busy endorsing sherif as if he is the messiah to emancipated PDP from it current dungeon. I weep for PDP, and I sorry for hopeless IPOP and

Some people thinks sentiment and emotional feelings has a place in law.

the crooks in Abia government house won't like this

Demdem:
Because ipob nonentities and killer members of the pdp made an allegation against u doesn't suggest such allegations holds waters. Only fools takes such serious.

Back from Hibernation?

IF THERE IS "ANYTHING" WE CAN LEARN FROM HISTORY, IT IS THAT "HISTORY ALWAYS REPEATS ITSELF"

QED.......

What is History? History is the study of the past, present and the Future. Any proof? See below:

On August 27, 1985 Brigadier J.N. Dogonyaro announced the coup that dethroned the Buhari/ Idiagbon government and brought Babangida to power. Below is an excerpt from his speech.

"........The Nigerian public has been made to believe that the slow pace of action of the Federal Government headed by Major-General Muhammadu Buhari was due to the enormity of the problems left by the last civilian administration.

Although it is true that a lot of problems were left behind by the last civilian government, the real reason, however, for the very slow pace of action is due to lack of unanimity of purpose among the ruling body; subsequently, the business of governance has gradually been subjected to ill-motivated power play considerations. The ruling body, the Supreme Military Council, has, therefore, progressively been made redundant by the actions of a select few members charged with the day-to-day implementation of the SMC’s policies and decision.

The concept of collective leadership has been substituted by stubborn and illadvised unilateral actions, thereby destroying the principles upon which the government came to power. Any effort made to advise the leadership, met with stubborn resistance and was viewed as a challenge to authority or disloyalty.

Thus, the scene was being set for systematic elimination of what, was termed oppositions. All the energies of the rulership were directed at this imaginary opposition rather than to effective leadership.                                                  The result of this misdirected effort is now very evident in the country as a whole. The government has started to drift. The economy does not seem to be getting any better ......."

This was 31 years ago......

Make whatever you may out of this.

Abang was one of those special judges selected by Sagay's team. You think he will not be protected?

Let there be a change in government today and you'll see strong those petitions are.

Justice A.P.C. Abang

The NJC is spot on. The media hype about Abang is misplaced. Sherrif filed his matter before A bang in July and got an order. Rather than apply to discharge the order or file an appeal, the PDP in September days to their bottched convention went to get an order from another court. It is an abuse of court proces to file a similar action on the same set of facts when there is a pending action on the same subject matter. Abang does not need to defer to any one he has a duty to haer the matter before him to conclusion unless it is withdrawn by the plaintiff.

As a lawyer I know sentiments do not win cases

are u usually this jobless? I mean are you not suppose to be preparing for work, you think defending or supporting any of the Nigerian politicians or political party makes you superior? alot of those opposing this present government are far well to do than you and yet they'll keep on opposing as they are of the opinion that everyone should live comfortably, all politicians have usually been sworn enemies in public but good friends in public, so stop acting like you're politically correct or superior to others. You have been known widely on nairaland as a typical zombie, to get yourself enlightened on the good way of politics, go to Aljazeera and check their interview with the green party, presidential candidate of the united states.

If we look far above APC and PDP, Nigeria will surely be better, just so you know that apc=pdp, if you doubt me then go ahead and ask obj, Osoba, Saraki, Akala, Amaechi, Tinubu et.al.. stop been ignorant cos your level of ignorance is becoming so ridiculous. i mean how can you wake up at past 6am and end up defending Naija politicians, taking into consideration that you drank just water last night as dinner and you don't have anything to eat this morning and nowhere to go since you're damn jobless, it's a pity to you and your generations, though, so sorry for you mehn.
