Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), has hailed the judgment handed over to Walter Onnoghen, former Chief Justice of Nigeria, by the Code of Conduct Tribunal, describing it as well-deserved.

In a chat with Daily Independent, Sagay said the punishment given to Onnoghen would send a strong signal to other corrupt judges and other public officials that it was no longer business as usual under the Muhammadu Buhari administration.

“It is well-deserved and it has established the point I made from the beginning, when this case first started, that nobody is above the law.

“This will be a warning to everybody, in the judiciary and other sectors of public service, that this country is not a lawless entity. A Daniel has come to judgement.”

However, Afenifere, the pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, said it was not surprised by the verdict.

Yinka Odumakin, the group’s national publicity secretary, however, said it was not the end of the road for Onnoghen.

“Well, I don’t think anybody can be surprised at the verdict passed on Onnoghen today. If you listened to his counsel, such as Wole Olanipekun, Awomolo, and others have all expressed serious reservations about the way they were going about the whole business.

“I don’t think it’s the end of the road. There are still options which I think Justice Onnoghen will take.”

No matter whose ox is gored, it's a well deserved punishment



You guys know i usually do not celebrate "First to Comment" but i have to celebrate this one because it happened on a day Our Lord Jesus Christ died so that we can be set free.

I wish you all a day with sober reflections.

Your time is coming Professor sir

I'm sure your own cupboard has its skeletons we are yet too see...don't rejoice yet.

The day of reckoning is coming to all the saboteurs of our collective progress as a Nation.

Is it true Onnoghen followed Atiku to Dubai and said even if he lost election, Supreme court will give it to him?

Of course!

If there's a more painful punishment, we all know he deserves much more than that..

We making progress...
When the case started they were screaming witch hunt... Now it's he deserves it....


Pdp caused the fall of Cjn

OK, noted

Na everybody get him own time...

Na who get belle dey Bleep, nobody knew Linda Ikeji was fucking till she nor fit hide her belle again.

One day your own yansh go open when power shift

Why take Onnoghen case very serious more than other pending more corrupt case??

Sagay can keep running his mouth over the small change he's getting from this corrupt administration. The day APC goes and it will be soon, someone somewhere will dig up sagays file and open the pages.

Babachir lawal did more than this at the onset of this administration, but where is he today to talk about corruption?

BTW, I didn't bother to read the OP poo from oily lips Sagay.

Please, anyone miffed at the situation should avail themselves to stand in Onoghens stead. Simple.

Na so

claptrap

Like you are clean yourself. Hypocrites

The Nigerian judiciary has become subject of ridicule

Long in coming.He escaped the noose of The ESO JSC Panel Report only to continue in his corrupt ways at The Bench until his filthy cup ran over. His conscience was so hardened he didn’t know his pant hung out to dry and for all to see long time back! It was only yesterday in court when he received his just dessert that he asked a photojournalist whether his pant was the object of the lens! He looked every inch not remorseful! Sad to say!!

Not the issue here. His own day is sure to come if he is also corrupt and does not change his ways. Same for me. Same for you. Same for all!

Buhari in his usual self chose to apply 'insecticide' because it is ONOGHEN, a southern Christian as opposed to the 'deodorant' approach to Magu, Danladi, etc.
