In a storyline pulled straight from some of TV’s most scandalous dramas, a North Carolina judge is going to the big house after attempting to bribe an FBI agent with a case of beer (Bud Light to exact). Arnold Ogden Jones II first approached agent Matthew Miller when he suspected that his wife was texting another man. Jones asked Miller if he could illegally obtain a transcript of those texts, and stressed the clandestine nature of what he was asking. “I want down low — see what you can do without drawing attention,” court records show Jones telling Miller. “This involves family, so I don’t want anyone to know.” When the topic of compensation arose, Jones asked Miller to name his price. Miller responded with “a couple cases of beer,” adding that “just to keep things simple, I’m a Bud Light guy.” “I can handle that!!!” Jones answered. What Jones didn’t know was that the he was being set up by the FBI from the get-go. Just one day after meeting with Miller to obtain a disk that he believed contained text message transcripts, Jones was arrested at his home. After a five day trial, it took the jury a brisk 30 minutes to convict Jones of superseding indictment with paying bribes, paying gratuities, and attempted corrupt influence of an official proceeding. The future does not look bright for Jones, who faces a whopping 37 years in prison. “The jury’s verdict affirms a bedrock principle of the rule of law,” said U.S. Attorney John Stuart. “No person holding a [position] of public trust in our legal system is permitted to subvert that system for his own personal objectives.” Jones meanwhile, has turned to religion to help him through this difficult time. “I’m facing a personal trial and engaged in a re-election campaign,” he wrote on Facebook mid-trial. “But on our journey we all face difficulties. We should never forget we don’t walk alone.” http://uk.complex.com/life/2016/10/a-north-carolina-judge-is-going-to-jail-for-bribing-the-fbi-with-a-case-of-beer?utm_campaign=complexmag%2Bsocialflow%2B10%2B2014&utm_source=googleplus&utm_medium=social

NBA asks arrested judges to excuse themselves from judicial functions The Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) appeared to have shifted from its earlier position on the arrest of judges recently by the department of State Security (DSS) over alleged corrupt practices. Speaking on Thursday during the valedictory session in honour of Justice Sotonye Denton West, Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal, NBA President, Abubakar Mahmoud (SAN), noted that in order to safeguard the sanctity of the judiciary, it has become necessary for the judges involved in the ongoing investigations to excuse themselves from further judicial functions. He also suggested that they may proceed on compulsory leave until their innocence is fully and completely established. He said: “It appears to the NBA that it is extremely important that the NJC takes very urgent steps to safeguard the public image and sanctity of the courts. “We therefore strongly recommend that, without prejudice to the innocence or otherwise of the judges involved in the ongoing investigations, they should be required to recuse themselves from further judicial functions or required to proceed on compulsory leave until their innocence is fully and completely established or until the conclusion of all judicial or disciplinary proceedings. “We believe this will be necessary in order to protect the sanctity and integrity of judicial processes that may involve the judges concerned and safeguard the public image of the institution. The NBA boss further said that it has set up a Task Force after its meeting with the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, as well as past and serving leaders of the bar, to urgently review the current developments and come up with clear specific recommendations on how best to clean up the nation’s judiciary and rebuild confidence of Nigerians. He added that the report is expected to be out in two weeks. The DSS had on October 7, arrested Justices Sylvester Ngwuta and John Okoro of the Supreme Court; Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court, Abuja, and Justice Muazu Pindiga of the Federal High Court, Gombe Division.

Without prejudice. This is an event that would take place in one city, Benin City, and the whole of Edo State gets an holiday.. For what exactly, to make people available for the event. Or make the day Sancrosant. When Queen Elizabeth was crowned, was there an holiday? Here in Lagos, the commercial, economic and traffic capital of Nigeria, you may not even now when the Oba of Lagos is crowned. No offence meant! I just feel we have too many holidays in Nigeria. |
