This is what I've been saying in my previous posts regarding this issue
A judge can deliberately commit murder and you tell us it's the CJN that must first investigate him. That's ludicrous!

Nigerians are so corrupt that all arms of government just manipulate the constitution to their defense.

CJN only have investigative power over judicial matters but this issue is entirely a Code of Conduct Tribunal matter

ogene007:

He can be suspended and go for his trial with CCT. Under suspension, he still remained a public officer but under suspension. This is just a failed attempt to confuse Buhari's uninformed followers the more. The NJC remains the body who can investigate and recommend for trial.

rexwalters:
You can't investigate yourself neither can you be a judge in your own case,the CJ must vacate his position for judicial due process to take it's course. Special prosecutor Robert Muller is investigating the President of the United States not the Attorney General. The CJ as a matter of due process & rule of law must vacate his position immediately.

I stopped taking this man serious since he started working for Buhari. You can't work for any thief in Nigeria - hiding under the name of a Politician and defense of Immunity and have sense.

Funny worr drew me to him was his name. Even though I dont know the meaning, it was catchy.

Nigeria is going. Perdition is even an understatement.

Racoon:
-1).The ICPC/police gave silly silly reason why they cant arrest or prosecute Kemi Adeosun.

-2).EFCC have also given reason why Maina could not be arrested/prosecuted.Now they're also telling a bewildered nation why the DSS-indicted APC party chair should not be investigated.

-3).Prof.Sagay have justified why Madam Kemi should continue in her forgery/perjury criminality.

-4).Obono-Obla have justified why Abdulrasheed Maina should be retained back then by the government.

-5).President Buhari have defended & exornerated Lawal Babachir/Ibrahim Magu/NHIS Sec & now the almighty Ganduje babanriga bullion van dollar bribe scandal even calling him a "responsible" corrupt man with integrity.)

-6).Lawal Daura have defended why Ayo Oke(NIA/Ikoyi-gate) and Ita Epenyong should never be investigated by the EFCC.

[b]-7).The presidency have exonerated Aisha #2.5B "gifts" Scandal, VP Osinbajo's 5.58B NEMA scandal, Ahmed Sirika's #1.5B imaginary "Air Nigeria" scam.

Pls argue with your brain as far as this govt.is concerned.


I personally stopped taking Sagay serious since Sagay defended Kemi Adeosun NYSC certificate forgery scandal and Obono-Obla defended the Abdulrasheed Maina scandal.

I am not happy with people opposed to the CJN trial. They are just confused. Why is he afraid to face trial if he is innocent. Nobody is above the law. He has no immunity and should prove his innocence.
Let us not make mistake in this country. There is a strong corruption in the judiciary. This is the reason why we are not making any headway in the fight against corruption. Mistake over this will affect this country for a long time.
People are saying NJC. NJC my foot. How can a case against the head of NJC be taken to the same NJC where he appoints almost all the members of the so called group.
The CJN should have known better. He should be an authority in legal matters. Let us keep sentiment aside.

rhidollah:

it's like saying a corruption case against buhari should be taken to Fec or a case against saraki or Dogara should be taken to nass

funshybam:
Sagay's position is entirely illogical and untrue.

If NJC finds him guilty, NJC will recommend that he be removed as CJN.

Removal as CJN is entirely different from being sacked from public service as a judge...

Onnoghen can then be tried after NJC's recommendation

Friend01:

All these cases you have mentioned; are they what we are dealing with? Why do people like diverting attention.

We are discussing about rice and beans you are talking about amala and ewedu.Does it make sense to you!?Onneoghen's case is hot on the table stop using your clandestine tactics to contort the story.Is the CJN guilty or not.This is the point of discussion.

NJC can only come in when u commit an offence while doing your job as a judge

Did you read this at all?

Ivoryd1:


You too ask yourself IF THERE IS SENSE IN WHAT YOU WROTE(((Onnoghen can then be tried after NJC's recommendation.))....can he be tried without being partial by the very people he appointed.......let's be sensible in our judgment na......i dont know how old you are, but I suppose you will be old enough if not older than me , yet you're making such illogical statement

Summary
INTRODUCTION:
This appeal borders on Criminal Prosecution of a serving Judicial Officer.
FACTS:
This is an appeal against the decision of the High Court of Lagos State; coram AKINTOYE, J., delivered on 23rd June, 2017, against the Appellant's Notice of Preliminary Objection dated and filed on the 13th June, 2017 challenging the jurisdiction of the Court to entertain and determine the instant information against the Appellant.
The Appellant was by a 14 Count information dated 8th June, 2017 charged for offences ranging from unlawful enrichment by a public officer to making false information contrary to Section 82(a) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, No. 11, 2011 and Section 39(2) (a) of the EFCC (Establishment) Act, 2004. The Appellant upon being served with the information filed a Notice of Preliminary Objection challenging the jurisdiction of the trial Court to hear the case against him mainly on the ground that conditions precedent to the filing of the information had not been fulfilled. In its Ruling delivered on the 23rd June, 2017, the trial Court dismissed the preliminary objection.
Miffed with said Ruling, the Appellant appealed to the Court of Appeal.
ISSUES:
Appellant distilled two issues viz:
"1. Whether the lower Court can validly exercise criminal jurisdiction over a sitting judicial officer (the Appellant) whilst still occupying such office without first satisfying the condition precedent of subjecting such judicial officer to the disciplinary jurisdiction of the National Judicial Council as provided for in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended).
2. Whether in view of the constitutionally guaranteed doctrine of independence of the Judiciary, the lower Court is right in reaching the conclusion that the executive arm of government (acting through the  EFCC or any other authority) can directly prosecute a sitting judicial officer without first following due process as provided for in the Constitution by first referring the matter by way of petition to the National Judicial Council." 
Respondent formulated a lone issue viz:
"Whether in view of the facts and circumstances of this case, it can be said that the learned trial judge lack the requisite jurisdiction to hear and determine the information dated and filed on the 8th day of June, 2017."
DECISION/HELD:
In a unanimous decision, the appeal was allowed. The Ruling of the Lagos State High Court delivered on 23rd June 2017, was set aside. The preliminary objection filed on 13th June, 2017 by the Appellant was upheld and Charge No.LD/4769C/2017 was struck out.

I tell the real hive of corrupt elements in our society resides in the judiciary. These elements have formed a cult like clique of 'one for all and all for one. '
You see the way even the NBA rose frantically to his defense.

Where lies our hopes in this country?

We're doom if certain ppl don't stand up for what's right in this case

You are wrong.A judge cannot be tried for any offend without going though the NJC.It is not only when there are doing their jobs as a judge.The CCB and the EFCC lost their cases against supreme court Judge Sylvester Ngwuta because of this same reason.

The judgment of the lagos division of the appeal court remains the law until it is set aside.

That is the position of the law!!! President and Governors have immunity even if they commit murder

They don't have immunity . This is well known and you not suppose to be asking this kind of question at this age.

theoldpretender:
Indeed, inspite of its defects, the Court of Appeal judgment in the Nganjiwa’s case expressly limited reference to the NJC only to cases of a judicial officers’ misconduct in court whilst exercising his authority as judge in case before him in court.

“According to the court: ‘It must be expressly stated that if a Judicial officer commits theft, fraud, murder or manslaughter, arson and the likes, which are crimes committed outside the scope of performance of his official functions, he may be arrested, interrogated and prosecuted accordingly by the State directly without recourse to the NJC. These classes of criminal act are not envisaged and captured by the provisions of paragraph 21, Part One of the Third Schedule.’

“This demonstrates the hollowness and invalidity of the argument that every offence committed by a judicial officer must first be brought before the NJC, before the law enforcement agencies can entertain it.”



In other words, the Chief Justice can be brought before the CCB since the crime he is accused of (having undeclared assets) was committed outside the scope of performance of his official conduct.

So, the Chief Justice's trial in the Code of Conduct Bureau is IN ORDER.


Personally speaking, I think that there should be no trial...too close to the election. I also think there is politics involved here. But...the CJN got himself into this mess by not declaring his assets. Sorry guys...but political persecution or no...high time we stopped excusing corruption.
