Much has been said about Onnoghen & Salami, but what hasn't been said is the factual truth about Salami's 2011 suspension, then removal. You hear: "PMB suspended Onnoghen, so what? GEJ also removed Salami". Let's separate wheat from chaff. Let's go >>> Issa thread》》》
Trouble started for the then straight shooting President of the Court of Appeal Justice Salami late first quarter of 2011. There was a background read to background at the time: politics. I'll return to it las las

Justice Salami was promoted to the Supreme Court, which he publicly refused. Many Nigerians wondered why a judge would refuse promotion to the Supreme Court- dream of all judges

He refused and subsequently alleged that he was being punished by CJN Katsina-Alu because he refused his request to pervert justice in a case involving two heavy weights in Sokoto- Matagakarda and Bafarawa

There was bedlam. The second highest serving judicial officer accusing the top gun of corruption. Nigeria became divided: pro-Salami v Pro- Katsina-Alu; PDP v AC(later ACN)

The bench was dragging itself on the political mud. NJC stepped in and appointed a panel to investigate the allegation of perversion of justice made by Justice Salami and sundry allegations of corruption made against Justice Salami

There were allegations of justice tampering in the governorship elections petitions of Ekiti and Osun states. Salami adversaries swore he took bribes to award both states to the opposition AC/ACN

The NJC investigation panel who was headed by the then Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Auta- the judge who sentenced Saro-Wiwa to death. The panel went to work. Justice Salami headed to court.

Before court papers and processes were settled, the panel submitted its report:
1) found the allegation of corruption made against Justice Salami untrue;
2) quashed Salami's promotion to the Supreme Court.
3) Held that Justice Salami lied against CJN Katsina-Alu; 4) Ordered that Justice Salami should apologize to CJN Katsina-Alu.


Justice Salami refused to render an apology and public said he wouldn't. At the Emergency Meeting of the NJC August 2011, the NJC suspended Justice Salami pursuant to what it says is its power under section 21 of 3rd schedule of the constitution

NJC relied on its powers to exercise disciplinary control over judges, suspension being a disciplinary procedure or power, outside the power to recommend removal of judicial officers to the President.

Further, NJC recommended the removal of Justice Salami to the President, who acted on the recommendation without delay kia kia. Meanwhile, Salami was still in court.


As it is today, questions were asked about the speed of action of the government, the then AGF Adoke pointed to the decision of the NJC and that the President was duty-bound to accept and execute the decision. Justice Salami's fate was sealed.

Adoke further told the media, quoting an unreported 2009 FHC Abuja judgment in Alimi v AGF that suspension comes within the disciplinary powers, that the NJC acted constitutionally, without government's interference.

However 8 months later, the NJC revisited Justice Salami's issue and by 11 to 7 votes recommended that Justice Salami should be reinstated.
Another round of legal debate ensued. An Abuja-based lawyer, Nzebu went to court to challenge the recommendation of the NJC, arguing that there's no provision in the constitution that allows for reinstatement after removal.

That when the NJC disposed off the issue in August 2011, it was no longer constitutionally competent to revisit the issue, even if its earlier decision was perverse. The AGF appeared to have sided with the legal argument

When he told the media after the FEC Meeting one Wednesday of May 2012 that the President would not be visiting Justice Salami's issue.
Political arguments continued, while conspiracy theories were woven around what happened in Ekiti and Osun states: the opposition insisted its mandates were stolen at the polls, and PDP screamed that the opposition bribed judges to claim states it won.

As usual you guys are being economical with the truth (is did not say you are lying)

How can the NJC recommend Suspension and dismissal at the same time? The NJC never recommended the dismissal odd Justice Ayoade Salami, it recommended his suspension pending the results of its investigations
After investigations it cleared justice Salami and recommended the lifting of the suspension.
Justice Salami was never sacked from the Appeal Court. After about 2 years of waiting to be reinstated by Jonathan, he frustratingly tendered his retirement letter. Justice Salami retired from the court of appeal, he was not sacked.

In principle Jonathan removed the President of the court of appeal by indefinite suspension.

Even the then minister of justice, Adoke did not say that justice Salami was sacked, the excuse that he gave was that the case was in court and so could not reinstate Salami until the court cases were over.

Why Jonathan won't reinstate Justice Salami – Attorney General Adoke
The Federal Government on Tuesday said it would not reinstate embattled Justice Ayo Salami until the court cases challenging his recall to office are resolved.

Speaking at a ministerial platform, a programme where cabinet ministers showcase their achievements in the last one year, the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Mohammed Adoke, said the Federal Government received the resolution of the National Judicial Council recalling Mr. Salami on Friday, May 18. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/5228-why_jonathan_can_t_reinstate_justice_salami.html
