Drama In Court As Judge Asks Maina To Stop Looking At Him

Okon stated this when he was about to rule on the application for bail filed by Maina's lawyer , Ahmed Raji. The court registrar in an attempt to amplify the directive of the judge, further compounded the matter as he asked Maina to look at the prosecution, who brought him to court.

There was a mild drama at the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Friday as presiding judge, Justice Abang Okon, told the embattled former Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, to stop looking at him.

Okon stated this when he was about to rule on the application for bail filed by Maina's lawyer , Ahmed Raji.

Okon said, "Please I don't want the 1st defendant to look at me when I am delivering my ruling so that I can concentrate."

The court registrar in an attempt to amplify the directive of the judge, further compounded the matter as he asked Maina to look at the prosecution, who brought him to court.

The judge later continued with his ruling as he ordered the defendant to be remanded in prison custody.

For those planning on living abroad please do not follow this Judge’s stance. In Western countries, eyes contact is highly regarded and appropriated. As a matter of fact if you don’t make eyes contact, you are seen as being disrespectful, bad mannered, disgusted at the other person and trying to cover lies or lack confidence.
When you take a cultural competence course in US, one of the things they teach is to be aware that Africans would try to avoid eyes contact. They teach the students this so that they do not miss understand this avoidance as bad manners.

FrLukas:


You do know that America is not the only country in the abroad

Some other abroad, it is rude to stare at people in the eyes.

sonnie10:

This is true for most Western countries like I said.
Arabs might be different.

FrLukas:


True and it's different in some Asian countries too.
