Gradually, I hope we will get to the point where our Judicial system will be completely sanitized. The court or judiciary should be the hope of the common man and not the fortress of wealthy criminals. Justice should not be for the highest bidder. All silks and ministers in the temple of justice are hereby served.

This is a landmark judgement.

Mods should please move this to headquarters to teach our people that the mill of justice may grind slowly but surely it grinds.

The Lagos State High Court in Ikeja has convicted a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Dr. Joseph Nwobike, of 12 counts bordering of perversion of the course of justice.

Justice Raliat Adebiyi, who pronounced the verdict on Monday morning, said the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission proved beyond reasonable doubts that the SAN was in constant communication with court officials to influence the assignment of his cases to his preferred judges.

The prosecutor, Rotimi Oyedepo, said the offence carries a prison term of two years, but the defence counsel, Mr. Wale Akoni (SAN), said sentence is at the judge’s discretion, and pleaded with Justice Adebiyi to temper justice with mercy.

The judge stood the case down, rose and went into her chambers.

Incompetent Judges. You lack the jurisdiction to do so, stand up for what's right(cos you ain't saint too). Igbo or no Igbo.

Biggest joke of the century.

So far as Awusa /Fulani refuses to go to school, and keeps on being at the Helm of power in this country, Justice is still far from near to the common man

Justice binta nyako nko?? ?

We are still far from there

But this is a good start , Perversion of Justice carries Life sentence in England, Two years is a joke , it's almost as if they thought it out before writing the constitution
