Our nation woke up a few days back with the sensational news of arrest of supreme court judges for alleged corruption in a coordinated sting operation. Huge sums of money in different currencies was alleged to have been found in their possession.

First of all, what is a sting operation? Webster’s dictionary defines a sting operation as a complicated and clever plan that is meant to deceive someone especially in order to catch criminals. It is an elaborate confidence game specifically worked by undercover police in order to trap criminals. From this we draw a first conclusion that these judges are criminals. If indeed there is incontrovertible evidence that these judges are corrupt criminals, the best option would have been to present evidence to NJC, who in turn would sanction them. The operation carried out, definitely was not a sting operation but arrogant show of brute force whose only achievement is debasing of the last bastion of hope of the oppressed with its attendant resultant effect of further alienating the same foreign investors we desperately need for economic growth.

This so called sting operation was carried out in the night and millions of naira; thousands of dollars, pounds and euro was found in the judges’ possession. The questions begging for answers are, how many of these DSS operatives were involved in the operation and how much time did they spend counting the money to have confirmed same? Do we have a scenario here where the huge sum is mentioned to enrage citizens knowing the present state of our economy, and the most newsworthy news is news about sleaze and embezzlement of public funds.

I read a post allegedly from the DSS in which the organisation explained processes leading up to their operation. Among others, they claimed one of the judges collected bribe money from a supermarket while another travelled to a West African country for same purpose of bribe collection. They claimed such information was garnered from discreetly tailing them. Wouldn’t nabbing these judges at such points therefore, have convinced us beyond doubt that these judges are indeed corrupt? Rather their manner of approach to an otherwise laudable effort at fighting corruption, has given so much room for doubt, insinuations and a portrayal of an inexperienced infantile watchdog.

Then Buhari should have shown the world his certificate instead of wasting millions hiring SANS. The plaintiff in the case was given life threat and he dropped the case to save his life. Why didn't DSS investigate that allegation. How many court orders has Buhari disobeyed. The day Nemesis will visit Buhari on this injustice and hypocrisy in the name of fighting corruption it will be disastrous. Let him start from himself, wife and his kitchen cabinets. Rubbish.

eehya

This is not a Democracy.

We are running a Government of Cattle Gracers and Fulani Herdsmen Hooliganism.

RUBBISH POST!U didn't arrest an armed robber at d point of robbery does nt exclude him frm been arrested in subsequent time.whether arrested in Ghana or arrested in his residence doesn't matter provided he has been arrested

Very soon Our Military will join Bokoharam, ISWA and ISIS to fight The Avengers like their Ghana Counterparts. 503 Ghana Military have declared for Bokoharam.

Gradually Nigeria is becoming a poo courtesy of d man at the helms of affair.
Its well

beware of those who put on d " holier dan thou" garment for they ar most often d most corrupt pipul d world can eva imagine. FACT.
any body who claims he will create an "utopia" free of corruption will end up creating a repressive society full of wickedness.

What is the Role of IGP and The Police in all these?

Corrupt politicians and their supporters who incidentally are also victims of their criminality can cry all they long as they wish, the fact is they can't decide the manner and sequence the fight on corruption will be executed.

Their noise making is just what it is - noise making.

Nepa certificate arrest SAN.....chaiiiii
