Pidggin:


Did you notice that there is no northerner amongst them and these are the same people that have previously ruled against FG/APC? I know you are entitled to your opinion but right now your comment is very annoying and insensitive

passyhansome:
It spells impunity. Usually Supreme Courts justices are investigated and sanctioned by the NJC before they will be prosecuted and jailed if found guilty.

They are not usually arrested in commando styles as they are senior citizens who are dignified for their many years of meritorious service.

This regime does not understand the norms and democracy. They are always in a hurry to make mistakes and fall prey to ridicule.

hucienda:
This doesn't look good ...

Buhari is dividing an already divided country the more.

Firefire:
If nothing is done to resist this impeding clampdown and brainless idea of arresting without following DUE PROCESS we may no longer have democracy in Nigeria.


Unfortunately, some brainwashed elements are supporting this show of shame.

I pity una end.

Firefire:
Nigeria is completely finished.

Where in the rule of law and constitution in all this stupidity ?

I curse the day Buhary became the president of this country, I curse the day he was sworn-in.

I will reserve the curse of those who voted the tyrant for another day.

Wadeoye:


Rule of law my foot...

Corrupt judges most especially should not be shown any pity... They should be roughly handled and jailed without any benefit of trial.

That Rivers state supreme court judgement was one of the lowest the supreme court had gone and it gave rise to the murdering field that state has turned to.
It was one of the points I started doubting PMB's anticorruption fight.Despite Wike seen and admitting visiting the CJN during the election trial and SR expose on the role okoro played,that d govt did nothing was the height of abetting of corruption in the judiciary.Other judges then simply sold their judgements to the highest political bidder wen they saw the govt was no different from others.
But why is justice Odili not amongst those arrested despite the confirmed role Wike himself admitted her husband played during the SC verdict ?Unless d govt is building a watertight case against her.

Wasky101:

So if no northerner has a case to answer, would you rather they rope one in to make the equation balance?

The Nigerian judiciary needs total clean up.

Three were sacked last week. DSS arrested two of them this week.

I don't think that's enough. The way they'd carried on in recent years had made mockery of the judiciary. Right or wrong? I am just glad that all attention is focused on them.

CoolFreeday:
Good development, judiciary is the last hope of the ordinary man and if they're corrupt, where do we run to.
let them be investigated properly and charge accordingly.

#No to corruption.
#I Love my President

omohayek:
I despise corruption as much as anyone, but there are good and bad ways of combating it; subverting the rule of law and undermining the independence of the judiciary is definitely not one of them. On what constitutional grounds can the DSS carry out an action such as this?

Even if these justices are each ten times as corrupt as Sani Abacha, I would think that the right way to handle the situation is by impeaching them, and having them tried by the appropriate NASS committees, not through the executive arm issuing orders to have them locked up. This looks to me to be a clear violation of the separation of powers. Of course, given how little regard most Nigerians have for such constitutional niceties, I fully expect loads of idiots to cheer on this action regardless.
