Contempt of court

Mindlog:
He went to defend his client's case and ended up a correctional facility!

HE MIGHT BE A DEFENDER OF ONE ZOOGERIA

The name of the Magistrate is Ibrahim Mohammed

Vinny Gambini �

Barrywilly:
It was wrong for the lawyer to be interrupting the magistrate while delivering his ruling. The best option is to appeal the ruling on the basis of his perceived wrongs. He deserved what he got even though it was wrong for the magistrate to take law into his own hand. You cannot be an accuser and the judge at the same time.

do u know how to read. Forcing a lie on the lawyer

Under this current administration we should all be expecting the unexpected..

It is finished!! This is what happens when sharia scholars are made judges. God please break Nigeria for us before it turns bloody!

The Magistrate must be a sadist or something is fishy, if not why should he not listening to plea of other barristers, imagine if such Magistrate is given opportunity to be judge at Supreme Court. Nonsense, are you sure that he passed hisl aw school just like our presidio whom we are still searching for his WAEC since 2015

Maybe me sef I go dey arrest dos people wey dey challenge me be dat aswear

share for the magistrate and like for oga lawyer

Thats what you get from a system that has been headed by corruption CJN

Power pass power.

Only in Zoo Nigeria, their eye will soon clear

e no reach 2 yrs na. 2 months to d lawyer is just like going to understudy the prison facility

BigSarah:
is that legal? No physical assault....

Contempt of court is actually a criminal offense... Punishable by a heavy fine or jail term!

There are rules now how can you accuse a judge of collecting bribe... Even if u go accuse am no be when he dey on seat

Quality20:
e no reach 2 yrs na. 2 months to d lawyer is must like going to understudy the prison facility

He will likely not go anywhere near the jail tbh... It will be converted to a fine payable in full or in parts.

Be calming down please... This happens everywhere in the world! To be held in contempt by a judge is quite serious and punishable by fine or jail term. Research it.

This is clearly an Abuse of power, why can't the magistrate simply report him to njc so that the lawyer can be sanctioned instead of sending him to suleja prisons

It hasn't even come to that.
The magistrate can give him a warning.
However, the issue that the magistrate misquoted him must be investigated.

Queenlovely:
it is normal.

It is called.contempt of court.

do you know what it means to be a judge? I have been close to major judges in Nigeria and know their stress.

Nigerians are very stubborn people, we don't obey law or follow process.

even abroad they jail lawyers for contempt of court.

As if the judge is not a Nigerian

So if dem arrange and Kpai ds one now, pple go dey say kinni kan abi?

Judiciary is an important pillar of democracy. If people are allowed to get away with disobeying or scandalizing the courts, it will not be possible for the Judiciary to function effectively. Therefore, we have a Contempt of Courts Act, 1971.

2. Contempt of court is of two types: (1) Civil Contempt, and (2) Criminal Contempt. Civil contempt means disobedience of any judgment or the order of the court given in an individual case. Criminal Contempt means scandalizing or lowering the dignity of the court, or interfering with or obstructing the administration of justice. Criminal contempt is taken more seriously by the courts, while in case of civil contempt the offender is generally let off if he obeys the order already given by the court and shows his regrets.

3. Punishment for contempt of court is six months imprisonment or fine up to 200,000or both. Only High Court and Supreme Court can punish for their own contempt or the contempt of a lower court. Thanks!!!

the story is looking as if the magistrate used the available opportunity to take his own pound of flesh for an old beef

Not I will advise you visit court proceedings regularly to understand how the law works, in the eye of the law no emotions they only follow what the law says, many time prosecutors and IPO are sent to jail for lack of competence even unlooker who don’t conduct themselves in court also visit prison regularly this is the law and Emotions is not involved for you to deliver justice you must see facts

you are absolutely correct,contempt of court is a judicial power bestowed on a trial judge/magistrate to punish whoever obstruct normal court proceedings.Judges don't normally listen to pleas whenever they exercise dis powers,it serve as detriment to others.To be a migistrate is not a day job.
