Mr. Odinkalu has spoken as a human rights commission boss, and it's understandable. But we have to save this country. If the judiciary is corrupt as DSS claims, then Nigeria is finished because the judiciary is the hope of the common man.

So, I support these raids in toto if DSS really has incriminating evidence against them to back up their claims.

My only fear is that these "allegedly corrupt" judges will still pass through the same "allegedly corrupt judicial process" before they are convicted. So based on judicial familiarity and camaraderie, those judges may never be found guilty.

@Soberdrunk, don't worry since you know due process shouldn't be observed in this country, when you're arrested by the Nigerian police without a reasonable reason for your arrest, don't complain cos karma is a biatch!.

I have been saying these things
The judiciary arm of government is very corrupt and they are the most protected arm of government.
The worst they get after collecting bribes is retirement and not prosecution.
That's why a corrupt politician will boldly tell you that we should meet in court because he knows how corrupt the judiciary is.
The stupid judge that discharged and acquitted James ibori is probably somewhere in Nigeria enjoying his bribe whereas ibori was sentenced in London.

Don't let us pretend that these judges aren't corrupt because i see most of us have turned to human rights activists now on nairaland.

The truth is the judiciary needs a thorough cleansing which can only be done in a draconian way.
Forget stupid rule of law or due process, yes the NJC is saddled with the responsibility of punishing corrupt judges but please tell me how many judges the NJC have recommended for prosecution despite the fact we know all these judges collect bribes.

Some people are hiding under rule of law and due process to rape us.

People are condemning DSS commando style.. It's like you are new in Nigeria, this is how Nigerian police and law enforcement agencies have been rolling since inception, it's nothing new, or do you think due process is when police collects your phone and starts checking your emails. Or when there is a fight on the streets and police goes to innocent people's house to arrest them.

Please don't let us pretend.. Even in America the FBI Wil carry surveillance on suspects before carrying raids on houses so that the suspect won't bury evidence .

The question most of you should be asking is that did the DSS present any search warrant? Which they did. They presented search warrants which is the normal procedure.

What's your business if they didn't invite them to their office in the first place.. It's not your duty to teach them how to do their jobs, most of us don't know that house raids is a constitutional thing .
If they don't raid how then will they get evidence?

Please they should raid any judge's house that surveillance has shown to be suspicious.

For once other judges Will think twice before collecting bribes.

timeman:
Give me a gun & watch what i do to corrupt politicians, judges, lawyers, legislooters, civil servants; human right commission staffer(s), loitering across the streets & corridors of power, starting with corruption-possessed Nairalanders.
Respect the truth!

And what will that make you?two wrongs can't make a right

Who are this Human Right activist?
Rubbish

You "cannot" fight corruption with 'due process" and without stepping on toes. The level of corruption in Nigeria doesnt need "due process". Egbon nah English you dey speak, our 'situation' in Nigeria nor need "English", we need "Action" them nor use 'due process' collect millions of dollars as 'bribe'.......

When bura-ri travelled to the UN with all his generations, i looked well if u were among. But, no. Now, what does that tell u?

Only myopic people support dictatorship. That's jungle justice. Drop sentiments and think well

Then by all means call for a military government and quit this democrazy charade.

This is already a military government. Have you forgotten that the president is military tyrant?

mazifrankmore:
mumu! What has happened to government official (burutai danbazua) found wanting in corruption cases?

You guys will be making a fool of yourselves thinking you are making sense

Zombies!

Oga Na you mumu pass, let Buhari probe those he feels like probing, when next another regime enter, and I sincerely hope they do, they should equally start probes with Buhari's men, simple and short, and the cycle should continue, till we rid this country of this vile called corruption. Nigeria especially those that in authority of power, should not be treated with kids gloves. The human right boss, is blowing grammer truly, Nigeria is a peculiar state, what work for others might not work for us.

In 2015,some moronic Nigerians decided to hand over their destiny to a complete ediot and this is the result. What's even more disturbing,is the fact that some brainless people are in support of this action;when did the DSS swap job descriptions with the EFCC? How can any sane person with a good mental faculty and reasoning ability,support the breaking in and damaging of a person's property,just to arrest the person? When the person is not a terrorist,and did not resist arrest? What kind of stupidity is this? Who are the people who gave birth to the supporters of this animalistic behaviour? For crying out loud,these judges could have been arrested without towing this disgracing and embarrassing path. Now,Nigeria looks like a zoo and a wildlife conservation to the entire world. It's a shame that in 2016,govt agencies saddled with the job of intelligence gathering and national security,have been reduced to motor park touts/vandals and the worst part of it all,is that there are still ediots in support of this show of shame.

God bless u for this ur comment. Anybody hand wey clean doesn't not fear Holy water, Bible or Shrine. Only pple whose hand are not clean will wail. But seriously I just realize Nigerians are a confused set of pple o, as in we are confused beyond redemption. The judges are the ones granting looters and thieves politicians immunity in this country, making them untouchable by the law. Since we are shouting the judiciary is compromised. Now wey hand wan begin touch all corrupt judges same Nigerians are wailing witch hunting. Oghene biko o!

If buhari send DSS to arrest this mumu now, people will call him a dictator. Instead of him to shut his rotten mouth he is forming human rights activist

Even the judges are the major problem we have towards fighting corruption because most of them are recklessly corrupt.

Was it not a seasoned judge that gave a court order to freeze the account of a sitting governor (Ayo Fayose) which was a clear constitutional violation?

They needed to be served with the same meal. SMH

This this exactly how Bola Ige was taken out. but Nigerians will never learn ..No former military person is qualified to rule this Country

lawyer was murdered in Rivers State by political thugs, the NBA sees nothing, hears nothing and does nothing. 5 corrupt judges are arrested on allegation of judgement racketeering and less than 24 hours later the Human Right Whatever now has à voice

Call it whatever, say whatever, we don't care. Never again will people abuse their offices and hide in the moniker of democracy. Democracy can only work in a sane environment. As for my country, we need tough hand to deal with the mess we found ourself in. Let the wailers like you wail out your life.

Thank you jare, Nigeria need an hybrid form of democrazy, part civilian part military just as Buhari is doing now. Nigeria is not Europe or america where sane people are in politics, what we have here is full blown animals like pigs and goats in agbada as executives, legislators and judiciaries.

Delusionalism! All these pampers-wearing toddlers, is it in all topics you comment? Don't you know the subject matter is far above your level of understanding? It is still better to remain silence and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubts

rozayx5:


you forgot buhari has a personal issue with dasuki


seems you dont read history

Nd u Neva tot he ad a personal issue with Alex too?

Why is Chidi Odinkalu wailing?
Is he from Shout Yeast or Shout Shout?

human right activist, my foot. Did you know how many people killed because of there fake judgement? How many times have you rescue the common criminals been burnt on the street every blessed day. Can you even define human right?

What happens to proper sting operation to get hard evidences against any corrupt official like the judges?

As much as we must root out corruption, must we act like rascals? It would be better if this man can suspend the Constitution just to live his dreams.

Why not set this judges up through a bribe scenario with marked bank notes or with recorded phone calls as it's done in civilized societies?

People supporting this gestapo nature of fighting corruption are the problem in this country!

MORNDEW:

And he released your metuh and kept Daisuke in detention. Oh I forgot Dasuki is your own and not fulani. Sense is not common truly.

Where do they get idiots like this now! Can't you people be objective for once in your miserable moribund lives?! Democracy is being raped continually here by that m!oron of president and you latch on your keypads to type then post this bunkum! It is your likes that make these nitwits continually refer to Nigerian youths as leaders of tomorrow even as old as you are! I am sure if your daughter was democracy and that Dauric bozo rapes her, you will probably hail him and give him medal of honour. Vacuous entity...

ArabMopol:
step on toes as u said, is it when some section of Nigeria are given preferable treatment let's do it randomly... buhari is a turncoat, we Nigerians has short of remembering, we shouldn't forget in a hurry how he pass 300years jail sentence on Dr Alex Ekwueme the vice President but kept shagari his fellow fulani in house arrest with terms of retiring prematurely from political scene... u know dis anti corruption war is skeptical and selective, but u are just shying away from the truth... very bad for an adult like u to continuously
spewing trash from both sides of ur mouth

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH SUCH FELLAS, A CHECK ON IS MONIKER WILL TELL YOU THAT HE IS IN A TRANS, SOONER OR LATER HE WILL WAKE UP JUST BE THIRSTY FOR ANOTHER BEER BOTTLE.
