Sherifat Solebo, a judge of the Lagos State Special Offences Court in Ikeja, on Wednesday objected to an attempt to disrupt proceedings in her courtroom by a task force of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), Ikeja Branch.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Dele Oloke, NBA Chairman, Ikeja Branch, had at 10:17 a.m., led the task force to stop proceedings in Mrs Solebo’s courtroom in an attempt to enforce the court boycott directive by the NBA.

“I will not entertain any interruption. We know the rules of court; Mr Oloke, be properly guided.

“The National Judicial Council (NJC) has not directed that judges should not sit; the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria has not shut the door.

“I am still in charge of this court, Mr Oloke; what you are doing is contemptuous,” the judge warned.

Following the warning, the chairman left the court after instructing lawyers in the courtroom to obey the boycott directive.

Okowa Campaign AD

Speaking to NAN later, Mr Oloke frowned at lawyers’ flouting of the directive.

He said the court boycott should be obeyed by every responsible lawyer.

He said: “I was at the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the NBA under its President, Mr Paul Usoro, and we resolved that we should embark on a two-day symbolic boycott of courts.

“Every responsible lawyer should abide by it.

“It is playing to the gallery to say that your clients are important; we also have clients. When systems collapse, everybody will be blamed.

“When we abandon our work to protect the institution we belong to, and some lawyers refuse to cooperate with us, we will do something about it, I can assure you.”

NAN reports that some other judges at the Ikeja High Court Complex also sat in spite of the boycott directive.

At 9.56a.m., the NBA task force was unable to stop proceedings in the courtroom of Justice Sururat Soladoye of an Ikeja Domestic Violence and Sexual Offences Court – within the Ikeja High Court Complex.

The judge was about to rise when the team stormed her courtroom.

Proceedings in the courtroom of Justice Mojisola Dada of a Special Offences Court – also within the complex – could also not be disrupted at 10.42a.m. by Mr Oloke’s team.

The judge was delivering a judgment at the time and had to finish it.

The NBA had at its NEC meeting on Monday resolved to embark on a boycott of courts on January 29 and January 30 to protest the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen.

Mr Onnoghen was suspended on Jan. 25, following an allegation of non-declaration of assets.

He was charged before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) on January 14, on six-count charge.

President Muhammadu Buhari suspended Mr Onnoghen following an order by the CCT. He appointed Justice Tanko Mohammed as the Acting CJN.




Many judges at the court complex equally adjudicated over cases on Tuesday from when the boycott directive took effect.

Activities at the court complex were reduced, but many judges sat.

Justices Mojisola Dada, Oluwatoyin Taiwo and Olusola Williams of the Ikeja Special Offences Court adjudicated over cases, while lawyers and litigants were seated in Mrs Solebo’s courtroom as at 10.50a.m., awaiting the judge’s arrival.

At the Domestic Violence and Sexual Offences Court, Justice Sururat Soladoye began sitting at 9.00a.m. and was still adjudicating matters as at 11.15a.m.

In Justice Sybil Nwaka’s courtroom, lawyers and litigants were awaiting her arrival.

At the Ikeja High Court, Justice Hakeem Oshodi presided over proceedings in his courtroom which was half filled with lawyers and litigants.

Justices Obafemi Adamson, Raliatu Adebiyi and Josephine Oyefeso sat briefly in their courtrooms. (NAN)

This is typically the problem all Nigerians have. They clearly lack the capacity to fight for something they believe in. Just look at the flimsy excuse of saying your clients are important. What if the same executive brings down the whole judiciary into nothing but a dog that can only bark and not bite will your clients still be important?
Its clear we have crossed the red line into pure unadulterated dictatorship and they are talking about clients. All right thinking persons should come out and fight this illegality.
We are not saying onnoghen is innocent all we are saying is the right channels must be followed in having him removed. We must resist those vampires hiding behind the brain dead President and show them they cannot bully everyone into submission. What stops them from waking up one day and telling you your rights have been suspended on the altar of national security or whatever? We have been seeing the traces and warning people but the zombified goons and their minions have refused to listen. It may favour you now but the same situation will surely return like a boomerang to bite you in the butt tomorrow.

1) At this juncture it is common sense for Onnoghen to resign

2) It's wisdom for NBA not to be seen protecting unethical practice and respect the institution so as not to be classified as clowns.

3) The role NBA has played so far in the unfolding of events has shown that they're either bought already or President Buhari was right about them and I think many of them hiding will be fished out soon.

4) It's disappointing that those that are expected to protect and uphold the rule of law are the ones behaving like miscreants and learned tout.

5) NBA is gradually reducing its self worth and respect and I think they should listen to their higher rank at the NJC.

6) The law bodies and legal personalities protesting in support of Onnoghen should give Nigerians a clue that the judiciary system is indeed messed up.

7) Nigerians can see reasons why cases are taking years in court and no single prosecution by the factors revealing itself naturally as a result of the suspension Onnoghen
