Our Judiciary has no absolute power, but you can't arrest them unilaterally without orders, its like arresting a sitting President without any procedure, anything not through the NJC orders is an impunity simple.

It is explicitly stated in the constitution that the president has immunity meaning he can't be arrested or prosecuted. Where in the constitution it is stated that judges can't be arrested or prosecuted?

I wonder ooo!

The height at which Buhari is violating constitutional provisions is alarming.
He violated court order to release Nnamdi KANU from custody. Now he resorted to abrogating the inalienable tenet that hold all democratic nations together by arresting serving justices alleged of engaging in corrupt practices whereas there is a stipulated laws as to the process of arresting such senior citizens if found wanting in the discharge of their duties.
He ought to have informed the NJC who are empowered to discipline erring judges before taking recourse to arresting them as he does.

sanpipita:


They never acted the way in Gestapo style, that's my point.

You seem more concerned about the means but not the end.

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

keep your tribalism to yourself joor. With d allegation and proof of the recovered money seized from them is evidence they are very corrupt. You people celerebate corruption too much and always quick to defence anybody from your region of corrupt act. The fight against corrupt judges is fully welcome. keep wailing. The president needs to sanitize that arm of government.

what a sad day for poor Nigerians. 90% are poverty stricken yet we defend most of these thieves and at the same time we set ablaze a man that stole just 5k. Though I am not a Buhari fanatic, someone need to reset our psyche back to "default ".We have been so enmeshed with illegality for soooo long that we have become "immune" to it. Everything MUST have an ethnic angle but these thieves don't give a damn about you peasants. Sad!!!

How do you justify the dss using sledge hammer to break into a person's house at 1am? The same justices who criticised buhari for his use of the dss. O please spare me!

Anything can be used to break into the house of a criminal... including bulldozer. Why didn't he open his door when he was asked to do so? The corrupt judge was even lying saying he wasn't in the house not knowing his phone is not his friend - the signal from his phone revealed his location

This country is gradually falling apart. Institutions, laws and procedures are been set aside, democracy is dying gradually.

Arresting anyone isn't a problem, but d manner and style of arrest no matter what shouldn't be military style. We might over look this today, but tomorrow it could be ur person.

NA today u sabi how naija take dey arrest?

Did they search with a warrant? If not whose idea was it and how did they arrive at that idea?
Unreasonable search and seizures is against the tenets of democracy. If they have a warrant for the search, that's good.
The question would be which judge signed the warrant.

Democracy is obviously more complicated than a military rule, and people who praise Buhari today would live to regret tomorrow when lawlessness arrives the door step.

Only judges with a history of ruling against Buhari and his party should not be made scape goats

Akinwerndey:
On what constitutional ground are these Judges are being arrested? Is there any warrant or evidence backing these arrests? This government is quenching the little light of hope some us are having in Nigeria....

the ground for arrest are bibery among others, THE dss has a warrant and claims to have evidence, d matter will appear in court on monday

Personally ,I suspect the Chief Judge was in the loop ,let us wait and see

D dss has taken all due diligence, they invited d judges, investigated and got their warants. if they are innocent let them defend themselves in court. all exant laws has been followed.

is the NJC aware of it, which court or judge gave the DSS the arrest warrant? Any idea?

An arrest warrant is not mandatory to making an arrest

Emotional. What is important is not whether it is lugubrious or bereft of serendipity what matters is veracity,

Go to Google and type in Arrest without warrant in Nigeria. Hopefully you will learn something new.

No emotions at all. You fail to see the precedent being set in the name of fighting corruption.

danbilbo:
Since when is it the duty of SSS(Or DSS) to arrest sitting judges for whatever reason??

Abeg I no do again. Fairly used Naijerian passport available for swap with South Sudan.





Meanwhile, 18-seater commercial bus available here for just 750k

You probably need to read up on the duties/functions of Law ENFORCEMENT Agencies, then also look up for the law establishing the State Security Services!

I stand with PMB...go to hell foolish SaTANoids

The problem many people have is they cannot argue coherently. I do not support what has been done,AT ALL. One must, however,demur with the right argument. Legally or constitutionally I cannot fault what has been done. There is or are many grounds to criticize the action but so far I have not heard anything of intellectual moment.Rather people resort to visceral reactions and emotional ejaculations . It is sad that our young people cannot reason properly
