Nawa for court judgements of these days oooo! Imagine the EFCC Chairman, the IGP and army General all in prison! It's just funny to me.

Anyways, I wish them all a splendid vacation provided the judgements are honoured.

FreeStuffsNG:
They are giving unenforceable jankara judgements upandan.
check my signature for free stuffs!

You don't understand. All you are seeing is the surface. They would like them to disobey. E get why.

frankson1:





You didn't follow my comments on this. I never stated at any point that he can't be tried at all. The regular police can't arrest him and he can't be tried in the regular court.

He can only be tried in a regular court after dismissal which can only happen when he has been court-Martial and only by his superior.

Do you really understands what contempt proceedings mean
In contempt proceeding your all powerful general needed not to be arraigned formally before any regular Court before he can be committed.
You probably would have thought, the CJ who committed him, knows nothing about the Armed Forces Act, or perhaps have not read the Act establishing the institution (Military) which the COAS work with?
Mind you, the COAS was not accused of committing any crime that will warrant him going through the routine Court-Martialing procedures, but he was accused of being a contemptnor, which is a serious offence against the sanctitiy and the institution of the the Judiciary and the Rule of Law which the Court has the Constitutional powers to deal with.
You don't need to be a lawyer before you can appreciate some elementary legal stand points.

charlesdinho7:

i am a soldier. you cannot come up with such nonsense concerning the boss. if e easy, rise to his position. do you even know what it means to be called the chief of army staff? you better wake up from your slumber

You are not well-trained, no disrespect to you, but the military because you are all still learning your roles and duties in a democratic setting 24 years later. Our military has all become house guards and house girls. They have become outlaw service officers. The chief should have offered himself for arrest just to save guard the reputation of the Nigerian military. The world is watching the way they behave. Every government department has its functions.

In a sane country, you can go and arrest him and he can not resist arrest. Because everyone knows nobody is above the law. The soldiers that should be in barracks for training or battlefield are all one the road collecting illegal taxes from poor innocent civilians and citizens.
The military that is supposed to protect the weak and harmless citizens of Nigeria are the one terrorizing her citizens from order from above to please politicians and their wives. Look at all these things I've mentioned and tell me I am wrong. Perhaps I should have asked you what your role or duties are as a soldier.

Lawalabiodun:
Please, let's know once you get them arrested, enough of all this noise, EFCC, IGP, know nah chief of Army Staff.

May be they will hire Jack Bauer to do the work.

HardMirror:
almost all the comments here shows why the countrybis in a mess. A judge did her job and the masses are mocking her. Are the masses agreeing that these men are above the law?
Instead of supporting the judge they are here saying nonsense.
It is not a nairaland problem this just shows how hopeless nigeria is

Good of you bro for your contribution....

Drefaithful:


for your information CDS doesn't command troops, COAS commands Troops, CDS is like a ceremonial appointment that oversee the 3 sisters service.

Shey COAS dey cut hand for CDS

Yes or No?

babzo:


I left school a long time ago, I don't do homework anymore; I give it to my students.

Accept you are wrong on this one and let's move on.

I cannot be wrong about what is clearly written in history books of US presidents.

Some people dull sha

Don't mind the jesters, as if there are rule of law in Nigeria, Yahaya will even arrest the judge and nothing will happen. Useless animal kingdom.

SheikhMuniru:
Which police go arrest soldier?

ModCaller:

Bro, this is a simple matter. Name the case, name the President, name the year. Anyone of those 3, not even all 3. You are just beating about the bush.

NIGERIA IS NOT A CIVILIZED PLACE BASED ON DISREGARD OF LAW BY LAW MAKERS.

NIGERIA IS NOT A CIVILIZED PLACE LIKE US OR UK, BASED ON D DISREGARD OF RULE OF LAW BY LAW MAKERS IN GOVNC.
THE DAY A CIVILIAN STRUCTURE ARREST A SERVING ARMY GEN THEN IS BEGINING OF MUTINY BEST YOU DO TO A GEN IS RETIRE HIM BEFORE ISSUING A WARRANT AGAINST HIM.

OsinAmaka:


May be they will hire Jack Bauer to do the work.

BAUER NEVER ARRESTED A SERVING GENERAL

temitope27:
Nonsense judgement

How is it nonsense judgement?
Because tr army chief was involved?
He disobeyed the law! The Court has the right to bring him to order!

Military police nie go fit arrest them

SheikhMuniru:
Which police go arrest soldier?

I'm sure that even the judge that passed this sentence was laughing as he was saying it, or say April fool after passing this judgement.

They should stop making the law looking like commedy , it's reducing the trust the common man has for it

SheikhMuniru:
Which police go arrest soldier?

Not just police, they can be brought to book if they erred. Don't be a slow poke.

ModCaller:


You be goat if you can't do basic research.

Yes, it did happen. Go figure. We all have internet

you can easily quote this time

If you no be goat then Prove yourself. The onus is on you to show us when a sitting president in the US went against the Supreme Court ruling if that is even possible

I am waiting...you are a big fat liar

Prove yourself Mr goat

SheikhMuniru:
Which police go arrest soldier?

The military police would arrest them and then hand them over to the police
But guess what it can't happen...

Judolisco:
soon they won't be able to take cases to court

that is d sad state we are facing as a country...

PARADIZEPRIEST:
BAUER NEVER ARRESTED A SERVING GENERAL

He knows how to do his magic depending on the kind of Job.

HardMirror:
if the COAS rapes your wife and kills your children will you take him to court? Wont you want him to be sentenced? Are you saying the courts should not do their job?

u r missing the whole point.

Good news. Justice now coming back to Nigeria. Imagine those small uniform soldiers behaving like a Lord. They'll sit silent now as their bosses are being arrested. Everyone would sit tight.

SheikhMuniru:
Which police go arrest soldier?

MP....that's the work of a military police

It is good our Courts have started giving such orders, very soon it's implementation will start fully, it's a gradual process.

SheikhMuniru:
Which police go arrest soldier?

No be just soldier but the COAS

That ekuke barking is our last hope.

The loss of faith in that ekuke is the reason why Nigerians burn suspected thieves alive in our streets - only to sometimes find out later that the suspects were innocent.

The loss of faith in that ekuke is the reason why people have minor traffic accidents and instead of getting their insurance companies to sort things out - they come out of their cars and start brawling in the streets.

And so on.

That 'local dog' exists for a reason.

The question is, why did we loose faith on the judiciary, they allowed themselves to be messed up with under Buhari regime. During Yardua and GEJ tenure we know the power the judiciary wields but Buhari still used some of their members to render them powerless. So what do you want me ordinary man to say. They should sit up and live up to their standard

fawaz050:


Don't you think a judge would no better?

It depends in which country the judge is.

RolexOfGeneva:

This comment makes you sound like an illiterate. I've seen unruly soldiers been arrested.

Have you seen Chief of Army Staff arrested before?
