The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has accused the National Judicial Council, NJC, of bias in handling the case against the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen. IPOB in a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, alleged that the NJC goofed by finding the former Chief Justice of Nigeria guilty in the offences allegedly committed by the CJN when no competent court of law has found him guilty.

IPOB also alleged that NJC’s recommendation for the retirement of the former CJN was done out of fear and lack of courage to tell President Muhammadu Buhari what is the true position of the constitution and the law. “It is most unfortunate that the so-called NJC is a confused bunch which does not know its constitution or out of fear, has refused to insist that the government be held accountable to its dictates. “Which section in the constitution empowers the cabal led by the President to suspend the former CJN without any court conviction or recommendation of the NJC? “Again where in the constitution did Aso Rock derive the power to dismiss or suspend the Chief Justice of Nigeria?

NJC should bury its head in shame, especially when it is the body looked upon to organise the judiciary and discipline the legal practitioners. Shame on NJC for this unpardonable and avoidable blunder it committed. “According to the NJC, Justice Walter Onnoghen had lost the morality of authority to continue as Chief Justice of Nigeria over the litany of allegations bordering on misconduct. “The question is, when did mere allegation or accusation become a confirmation of guilt or misconduct? Who determined that he has lost the moral authority? Is it a properly constituted court of law or the cabal in Aso Rock running Nigeria that wants their own to take over the reins of the judiciary the same way they succeeded in taking over every other sphere of authority and governance in Nigeria?

“Why did NJC not wait in passing their guilty verdict to allow the CJN to be convicted of any of the alleged crimes? “The world can see and prove us right that Nigerian judges are bias and lack of understanding of the constitution and simple elementary law that one is not guilty until proven otherwise.” It is a shame on NJC members that with mere allegation they have padded the judgement of guilt on their fellow Judge and a respectable one for that matter, we will not be surprised to find out that the members of the NJC that passed that verdict may have been compromised by the people they are working for, the judiciary has ceased to be the last hope of the common man, and it is unfortunate.” Who did this to black people, why is it difficult for us to reason like human beings. Where is that cornerstone of justice that says presumption of innocence before proven guilty? “Have we all not seen how Fulani cabal in government are debasing not just, but our reasoning ability and our morality. “To understand why Onnoghen was removed, you have to, first of all, appreciate who the chairman of the same NJC that made the recommendation is. Let us look at the composition of the National Judicial Council as prescribed in the Nigerian Constitution.

NJC is chaired by the Chief Justice of Nigeria who shall be the Chairman; (the Fulani Tanko Muhammad.) “The same Chief Justice Tanko who now recommended that Onnoghen should leave the service while he himself is squeaky clean. “No wonder injustice pervades every layer of legal practice in Nigeria. If the parent body can be so parochial, deviant and evil, how much less those they are meant to hold in checks like Binta Nyako and other judges in Nigeria.”

The people of the country are too sentimental. Who amongst the people that have held positions of power are saints?

Nigeria has over 200m people living within and over 40m in diaspora. Nigeria keeps wallowing in poverty due to the great policies and no political will to implement?

We are already in fire. I always say it, I can't vote or like anybody that is currently or has served under the FG before.

If Nigeria will get it right, we need to stop the tribalism and take it by force from these crooks in power.

That wasn't una threat from the onset , that which you people threatened to do is what I am expecting

Wetin concern IPOB with Nigeria issue??

IPOB? The same one that collected money from PDP to end their election boycott? The same one with an idiiiotic leader who is hiding under a shade in London, while his stupid foot soldiers die daily in Aba? Same IPOB? Nahhhhh, una dey joke!


Asari Dokubo is better than Nnamdi Kanu. At least, he knows when to talk and when to keep quiet. Kanu is a full-fledged businessman, using innocent souls as bait.

Dem dey craze


Confused beings

Wetin concern IPOB for nigeria issue It is amazing how confused these people are. Surely mental illness can't have affected so many people all at once... can it?

If everyone is going to the right they will turn left. The moment everyone turns left they will turn right. I am sure the moment FG decides to forget about this whole issue, then Onnoghen will turn satan in their eyes. This is widescale madness.

IPOB is not in Nigeria so they should not comment on Nigerian issues...

Besides, would Biafra even appoint judges who have 'unexplained' issues with their accounts.?

I think Onnoghen was removed by political issues...but like Bill Clinton, he made things easy for his enemies.

Hmm

What concerns IBOBs with Nigeria issue?

Is it their NJC?

What is IPOB

Observing...

This is a sovereign matter concerning Nigeria. This is of no concern to Ipob. Are they Nigerians?

Useless IPOB. When the likes of El Zakzaki, Dasuki and other Northerners were arrested for corruption and breach of security these idiotic group in South East never made any comment

IPOB?? issorite. sheee atiku is stil from cameroun??

Forward your concerns to the BJC..

Biafra Judicial Council

Onnoghen's saga is a lesson to everyone of us. So long you exist, you have those who dont like u or want you out. But please never you play into their hand by giving them reasons to move against you. This simple law was the greatest undoing of Ex CJN Oono....

IPOB always on point. No organization will muster the will to condemn this illegality.
The NJC is a bunch of Buhari apende.

Shame on NJC for not being able to recommend the dismissal of Tanko Muhammad for going against the rules of the appointment of CGN.

You were definitely not in this country. They commented. for Dasuki, they said PMB was vindictive cos Dasuki arrested him in 1985 and also cos he was PDP mber. For El-Zazaki, they said he was a mber of Shiites sand cos PMB hates Shiites he is determined to exterminate them. They always comment only that it will be conspiratory �

Why must Afonjas be talking about peace, when their is injustice.
you guyz know that he is correct datz y u re saying watin concerns him
God bless IPOB!
Thunder must rape Afonja Wailers
