You think you have made sense corrupt vixen? Our kind of corruption needs a monstrous tyrant to deal a decisive blow to it, which the rule of law wit it's loopholes cannot fight. Your questions should be are there corruption in the judiciary? Are justice served to highest bidders?

Are there Nigerians with lesser offence serving long terms imprisonment with hard labour while looters are given a part in the back and possible national honour?
I hope you still remember the pension fray thief who was asked to pay 500k for embezzling 25 billion naira?

Why do we queue behind corrupt elements because of tribe, religion and party while our oppressors don't observe ethnicity or religious divide when looting?

See the way Wike hurriedly came to the aid of a northern federal judge in Rivers state and the police commissioner who helped thwarted the DSS raid a yoruba man...all United by corruption.

My dear, eskwe the rule of law...these people, politicians and judges do not observe the principle of rule of law when they oppressing Nigerians, but when the FG might is poised against them, they will play to ethnic, religious and party sentiment.

Nigerian youths should join the FG in this fight, cos corruption is the reason we have no motor able road, world class health centres, unemployment etc and sadly one of the victims o corruption is calling the president a dictator for daring to go after evil men and perverter of justice.

bfire:


Really, this is pathetic

Do you agree there's corruption in the system?

Do you also know that these type of character exhibited by the judges is against national interest

Talking about 1983/85, what really happened? Do you know; were you even born?
Those were the years Nigerians were getting back their sanity.

Presently, there's no sanity and respect for the incoming generation. It's not about today but tomorrow generation. We must get our sanity back.

Besides, has any of the judges or politicians so ever accused denied that all d money found in their possession was a lie

I have a serious problem with corruption, but it doesnt mean things should be done in a wrong manner. You see you people rush off to start defending what is wrong just because it was perpetuated by Buhari and his private thugs. Very soon Nigerians will be arrested for offenses such as bearing semblance with a criminal, I hope you would defend Buhari then if you are arrested.

TheGoodJoe:


When you say wrong manner, what do you mean? The reports show that the arrest were done in a right manner. So I wonder why you still critique.

blazhykowskyi:


chief wailer. is arrest equal to conviction?

they were arrested, not convicted Ok?

blazhykowskyi:


you were told that they they got warrant.

what is your main grouse? what does it matter if they were arrested by the police, dss or army?

dealslip:


Sir, did I touch a sore part? I am sorry if I did. You see you are a hypocrite

Abdulmumin Jibrin has been crying like a canary bird night and day, almost begging the EFCC and police to arrest him with enough evidence, what has the DSS done about it, he was suspended for half a year and threats to his life. Buhari hasnt said a word, if that isnt corruption then I would need help to understand what corruption means. Some one follows the rule of law and even gives exact amount embezzled with documents to back it up. He is suspended, DSS insults the rule of law and they are hailed as super men. nonsense

When the presidency went after saraki and co, was it not your kind that led protest siting infringement on the legislators' independence?...Even carrying placards to that effect? You never address he issue I raise regarding benevolent dictator. You know tell me with the widespread and pervasive corruption, how will the rule of law help when the makers and interpreters of laws are both crooks?
You talking about Dogara, did buhari tell you he ever wanted Dogara and saraki? We're it's not PDP legislators and evil elements within the apc that connive to foist both leaders of two houses on us? Now you ranting like a barren woman on this forum. Even God don't deal with evil doers at same time or is there anywhere it written down that dealing with looters has to carry quota system or federal character? Have you ever carry out placards against the lynching of petty thieves or those young Nigerians who are giving long term jails for minor offences?
For Nigeria to be rid of corruption and their empathizers like you, we have to resort to China system, storm every corrupt judges house and lynch them like petty thieves

dealslip:


Unfortunately I couldn't make much out of what you said because you are incoherent. This judges are of mixed tribes with higher number of northerner so all this quota and federal character babblings doesn't apply here. I never mentioned Dogara so your rantings doesn't make sense. Very soon people like you will be lynched for doing legimate things like walking on the road.

NB: You need the Queens Premier book 1& 2 and Brighter Grammar, I can barely understand you.

cyrilamx:
I think when you were taught English language, you slipped the classes when they were teaching deductive reasoning...who did Jubril mostly accused as u pointed out in your outburst? Is it not the leadership and who is the main person if not Dogara?

Must you mention him by name before I know the person you referring to? You are your prejudicial wailer who careless about romancing with the devil as long as you get what you want.
Dear am a pragmatist, I am not limited by letters of the rule of law rather by its spirit. If petty thieves can be lynched and yet you never carried placard in condemnation of this barbarian treatment, in fairness and equity such style ought to be meted to those who commercialise justice.

Splinz:

Chief zombie, does an arrest also means that the accused is already guilty of the alleged crime?

Yes, they were arrested and remain innocent untill proven otherwise! So zombie-in-chief, spare us your ignorance by desisting from tagging the accused persons as currupt and thieves when no trace of it has been established by a court of law! Got it!

One thing is certain from your post, you dont even understand what you are saying. I equally doubt you were borne in the days of Abacha. I have a serious problem with corruption, but it doesnt mean things should be done in a wrong manner. You see you people rush off to start defending what is wrong just because it was perpetuated by Buhari and his private thugs. Very soon Nigerians will be arrested for offenses such as bearing semblance with a criminal, I hope you would defend Buhari then if you are arrested. Jibrin has been crying night and day, he hasnt be arrested alongside those he accused, he has provided all the evidence that there was corruption, we didnt hear anything from DSS, so why all the Kungfu styled arrest. You my dear are an hypocrite.

1. Little girl, I was already in Uni during the days of Abacha. So tell me more
2. The question you failed to answer is simple. Show us what section of the constitution or law was breached by this arrest. Otherwise every other things you said is pure jargon.
3. I wonder what you mean by people defending what is wrong. That corrupt judges were arrested or what? We should then question your moral compass.
4. Buhari and his thugs? Interesting! the same "thugs" GEJ surreptitiously used for hatchet jobs...... I remember the days when these thugs could not decipher between INEC database and INEC website. When Marilyn Ogar reflected a DSS that was anything but professional, a DSS spokesperson that said El-Rufai was arrested for wandering (a law that had been expunged from our books)......or is it Ekpeyong who did not understand the meaning of a land-locked state........
5. Nigerians would be arrested for bearing semblance with a criminal? Please stop being ridiculous. You're just making credible discuss look pedestrian with your reasoning. How is that related to corrupt judges arrested? Yet you say you have a serious problem with corruption
6. .....and how does Jibrin's case invalidate the arrest of these judges. This is what happens when you're out of excuses. So because they have not arrested Jibrin and co, they should have left the judges alone? Your opinions are simply case of corruption fighting back........don't worry, Jibrin's case will be addressed pretty soon

Guy no dey form Lawyer for Nairaland here. The Judges were allegedly under investigation for allegedly taking bribes to deliver judgement in favour of the bribe givers.

In fact according to the last comment allegedly made by the "Anonymous top source in the DSS"; they went to the NJC to present the case of a Judge who was bribed #200million to influence a case but the alleged judge didn't deliver on the Job.

NJC is statutorily forged exclusively to appropriate disciplinary measures on Judges strictly with respect to unethical behaviour with respect to handling of Court cases/proceedings within the Judiciary as an Independent arm of Government.

There is no other agency qualified by law to do so. So to even be typing all this mumbo jumbo, is proof of lack of understanding of the Basics of the Judiciary as a whole as an arm of government.

The reason why everyone will and should blame Buhari for this madness, is because the DSS went out of it brief as statutorily prescribed by law - an action only the President can sanction - because it intends to play up the case as a matter of National security.

You think the NJC was forged out of foolishness?? Because you think you will have more experience as a pen lawyer compared to a judge in arguing/forging/preparing a defence in court

Unfortunately, after all this political sommersault, they will still have to go back to NJC as no court in the land is qualified to entertain such an ill-forged matter.

And only a foolish lawyer, who doesn't know what to do with his license to practice law, w ill say he wants to go and prosecute Sitting supreme court justices for unethical conduct (bribery) relating to court cases............

Kukukikikaka..............I laugh in Daura

‘’By our own analysis, the rot in the political scene – election rigging, inter and intra-party crises and election petition trial from tribunal to Supreme Court – gave rise to the deep corruption in the judiciary.

In the economic sphere, Nigeria lost cases to foreign investors due to the collusion of judges with foreigners, leading to the loss of hundreds of billions of Naira by the country, among them, the Malabo Oil deal where the country lost over $2 billion. “We have the mandate not only to pre-empt and prevent but also to take necessary actions to bring the culprits of economic and financial crimes to book

“Let it be known that anybody whose action can create hardship for the rest of Nigerians must be stopped by us before the crime is committed and there is no other agency that is as capable of doing that as the DSS,’’

Look, it may interest you to know that one of the two Supreme Court judges in our custody has a property worth N1.5 billion in one of the South-South states. If we may ask, where did he get the money to set up such project?”

The official also pointed out that another judge, who is being detained and questioned, disguised as a shopper in one of the supermarkets and ended up collecting bribes in Dollars from a ‘client’ only to be caught on CCTV camera.

Judicial Officers from the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) to High Court Judges do not enjoy any special protection from criminal proceedings and processes..........Effiong Inibehe https://www.thecable.ng/crackdown-judicial-officers-separating-law-sentiments

he official expressed regret that the National Judicial Council, NJC, which had the responsibility to track and punish corrupt judges, had tended to condone evil being perpetrated by the corrupt elements, citing the cases of three indicted judges as example.

The NJC, having been satisfied that the three judges demanded and collected heavy bribes, merely recommended the retirement of the one who took a bribe of N200 million and asked him to be paying back in bits to the complainant. So, we ask, what happens to the proceeds of crimes? No answer was given until we stepped in.

This is what I said

* Bro...in your heart if hearts... are these arrests political or
not??
If they are not, why have they not arrested The Chief of

Please stop the the insults and be honest.*

Wtf are you talking about??

Your talking a lot but ain't saying anything.

The point is that the DSS is wrong.

For your mind now you are making sense. abeg move one side my friend. rubbish. constitutional lawyers have been condemning the act. stay there and be forming na me sabi pass. rubbish, talking about Uni in Abacha's days. I dont have a problem with arresting the judges but not in an illegal manner. the NJC is where this should have originated from. Jibrin has been crying night and day with evidence no one has even invited him. You pretend to know yet you know nothing. mtshewww

is it mandatory for law enforcement agencies to go through the disciplinary instrumentality of the NJC before taking actions against the erring judicial officer?

There is nothing in the provisions of Paragraph 21 of the Third Schedule to the Constitution that precludes law enforcement agencies from investigating, arresting, detaining or prosecuting a judicial officer in Nigeria for alleged corrupt practices or for other sundry offences. It is my view that a contrary interpretation will have the inescapable effect of conferring an extra-constitutional immunity on judicial officers.https://www.thecable.ng/crackdown-judicial-officers-separating-law-sentiments

1. This is what happens when you send your brain on holiday and allow people to do thinking for you. You're young (I hazard a guess), you should be smart to think and not just gobble up things because "constitutional lawyers" says this or that. I asked you a simple question. Show us in law what sections of constitution or Act was contravened by the DSS.

2. The NJC is where this should have originated from? Sometimes some of you lot just throws gaffes without seeking facts. The laws are clear. The DSS needs no permission of the NJC before carrying out investigation and subsequent arrest of judges found to have contravened the law and such within the remit of the DSS. In my assumption that you're too laid-back to read beyond headlines, let me quote of the "constitutional lawyers" interpretation

Puppet or whatever your name is, carry your frustration somewhere else. I know you do not have a job that is why your outrage is more than that of the arrested judges. You sound like those that argue at newspaper stands. Reeling out useless statement that confirms you are a wannabe political commentator and constitutional lawyer. Go get a life for your depressed and frustrated soul.

mapet:


This is simply the reflection of a typical unintelligent girl. I wonder how you end up comparing my "outrage" to that of the arrested judges....which ones? if I may ask?, because as at now, there's been no report of outrage of arrested judges. I guess you picked that up from your memories of 1984/85 shey?

Wannabe Political commentator and constitutional lawyer? Chei!!!! e pain am!!!! I must say I'm winding up an interesting day putting a daft and unintelligent soul to the confines and cesspit of the "ignoramuses".
