Saraki loses fundamental rights suit in court



The Senate President, Bukola Saraki lost another legal battle Friday as a Federal High Court in Lagos, struck out a suit filed by him to seek the enforcement of his fundamental human rights.

The presiding Judge, Justice Ibrahim Buba in a short ruling, declined jurisdiction to entertain the suit.

Saraki had in his suit through his lawyer, Mr Ajibola Oluyede, on Sept. 30 asked for the protection of the court to guarantee his fundamental rights against “political victimization”.

Joined as respondents in the suit are: The Attorney General of the Federation, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,EFCC and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, ICPC.

Other respondents are: Inspector General of Police, Code of Conduct Bureau, Code of Conduct Tribunal and Justice Danladi Umar.

Also joined are: Mr Ataedze Adza, Mr Sam Saba, Mr Mohammed Diri and Mr M.S Hassan.

Before now, Oluyede had brought an ex-parte application before the court, but Justice Buba ordered that the respondents be put on notice.

The Judge also raised the issue of jurisdiction and ordered counsel to address him on whether it had jurisdiction to hear the suit or not.

When the matter came up, Counsel to Saraki informed the court that all parties to the suit had been respectively served with the court processes.

Buba however, told counsels to address the court on the issue of jurisdiction.

Same way Saraki can send a representative to CCT while he continues with the work he was elected to do
Nope. Saraki's case is a criminal case filed by the Agency constitutional empowered to do that. In criminal cases, you have to take your plea yourself.

This case filed against the CCT chairman 'in name' also seemed like a criminal case. The only issue is just that it was filed by a civil society and may be a Civil case except if security agencies takes over the case.

But until security agencies takes over the case, it is still a civil suit and the CCT chairman may not necessarily make himself available in court but can be validly and legally represented by his counsel.

...you are welcome grin

This is an exercise in futility. They are trying to fight the calm, wise, young and handsome judge.

This is one thing I really like about well educated Northerners, they are usually very calm and exude confidence & wisdom.

They tried same nonsense with Jega and he took them to the cleaners.

Someone should pls remind this Ozeokome that the era of getting ambiguous and silly injunctions is over. Many thanks to the current CJN.

The court will attend to the case properly and the CCT chairman will send a legal representative, while he continues his work diligently.

Someone should also pls ask this Ozeokome (fake SAN) what happened to all the frivolous suits he filed in a feigned support for the PDP during GEJ's pathetic era??

Did he emerge successful in say just one of them?!!

Unserious hungry attention-seeking lawyer.

Let's assume the process of the PDP primaries was flawed, did Aisha ask the tribunal to disqualify Ishaku based on that reason? Did she present the validity of the PDP candidate as reason for her yo be declared winner on initiating the action?
When cases are filed in court, lawyers are very cunny.

They usually seek for a plethora of reliefs. The court usually considers their request one at a time.

This definitely must have been one of the reliefs sought by the APC in the case.

Wike also tried to do that in the Rivers Tribunal but he was unable to substantially prove that.

Baba that is the work of smart lawyers. Identify loopholes and then take advantage of it!

GEJ caused this. Instead of him to allow PDP primaries to be free and fair; he was busy manipulating and moving primary election to Abuja.

This is a victory for democracy!

Any president that intends to manipulate a primary election by moving it to Abuja will think twice before doing that. grin

PDP don suffer. GEJ instead of allowing PDP primaries to be free and fair; was busy manipulating and moving some primary elections to Abuja.

I hope his eyes don clear now. His manipulative and undemocratic tendencies crashed the PDP.

For him to personally go thru a presidential primary election that was certain he was going to win, he cowardly refused. Forming smart.

Even Obasanjo despite all his gra gra, submitted himself to party primaries.

because of GEJ, a lot of other people were also clamoring for automatic tickets. Even in those places where primaries even held, it was grossly manipulated.

And some hypocrites will still come and be yarning nonsense that GEJ is democratic. They are just living in self-denial and need to have their head examined.

If not that Obanikoro was placated & promised ministerial slot, he would even had succeeded in nullifying the Lagos PDP primaries at Lagos High Court.

That will amount to an affront on the judiciary.

I don't want to know whether Saraki is guilty or not, but the CCT is really stting a bad precedent and I congratulate the SANs for having the courage to walk out on him. We need to preserve the sanctity and independence of the Jusdiciary.

Why is the CCT in a hurry to proceed to trial? Even a first year Law student knows that the right thing to do is for the CCT to suspend actions during the pendency of the matter at the apex Court. I am sure their Lordships at the Supreme Court are very angry with the CCT for such disposition, but if they come down hard on Justice Umar, the public(who are ignorant of the law) will say the Justices of the Supreme Court had been compromised.

Can you now see how external influence impedes the wheel of Justice?
agabusta:
But why are u guys castigating the CCT chairman as planned by Saraki's media team??

The CCT chairman did not give his ruling from abstraction. He relied on an updated Nigerian law which says such trial can go on!

Just that if a judgement emanates from it, it will not be executed until the higher court dispense the issues before it.

This from Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015.

How come you guys are overlooking this and heaping loads of criticisms on the Chairman.

The defence of Saraki knows this! They are just trying to intimidate the CCT, appeal to the emotions of people not having deep knowledge of the law and entirely frustrating that case on technicalities and not the substantive issue.

Are u too partisan not to see that your line of argument has been overtaken by Administration of Criminal Justice Act of 2015 which says a criminal case can go on even despite the pedency of an issue before a superior court only that the judgement emanating from such case will not be executed until the issue at the supreme court is dispensed with.

For crying out loud, the tribunal in those two states have only ordered for a re-run which we all expect to be far more free, fair and credible than the charade of April 11, 2015. And if your candidates are truly the people's choice, they will still win the election.


If PDP think they csn rely on outright lies and false publications through trentonline and breaking times to wrestle power from APC, it is then save to say they actually need the free tutorials offered by Lai Muhammed.
The actions of Wike is a great embarrassment.

Sowell28:
There's nothing like Efik/Ibibio language or Efik ibibio nation. Ibibio is not Annang,Efik is not Ibibio,and vice versa. It is ignorant to assume otherwise. Oron,Efik,Annang and Ibibio are different nations and are simply linguistic neighbors similar to (Swedish,Finnish,Danish and Norwegian ) or (North Korean,South Korean,Singaporean,Taiwanese,Japanese) . Finnish,Danish and Norwegian have similarities which ,while Swedish is a little more exclusive. African nations especially in west and central Africa settled in smaller landmasses. Eastern and southern African nations settled in Larger landmasses due to the somewhat arid nature of those lands which incurs Normadism. For example,Namibia or Botswana are each as large as Nigeria,but Have only two tribes and population of 1.2 and 1 million respectively.
The Population ratio between the nations contained within the Akwa Ibom/Crossriver region are as follows :
Ibibio - 100
Annang - 87
Oron - 80
Efik - 70
Eket (Ibibio)- 50
Ibeno (Oron)- 25

70% of the natural resources in the region are contained within Oron territory.And that makes Oron nation (Okobo,Oron,Bakassi,Mbo,Udung Uko,UrueOffong/Oruko) one of the wealthiest nations in the entire world if it were autonomous. Oron nation is two and half times larger than Singapore. Oron union was the first national Union in nigeria founded in 1924. Oronian Population is estimated at 1.1 million

Oron is a nation and Igbo is a nation.Oron will not be a part of igbo nation (biafra).
Quite educative.

Do u even know the meaning of contradiction?

Do u know the meaning of a community?

Do u know the meaning of evolution?

For your information, communities evolve over time based on certain interests and similarities.

The language of the Niger delta seems to be Pidgin English. That is the lingua fraca in that area. This is also kind of evolving to be their language asides the individual indigenous languages.

As per your assertions about where the tag Niger delta comes from, kindly refer to my earlier post.

I don't understand what you mean by 'people of the Niger delta'
Do u know the meaning of a Delta?

Do u know a River called Niger?

If the different people indigenous to the Delta of the Niger decide to refer to themselves collectively as Peoples of Niger Delta, how does that concern you? Why are u insisting they should stop calling themselves that?

Are they not wise and sensible enough to know the right way to refer to themselves? Or are you saying otherwise?

These communities have recognised that they face a common issue and has decided to refer to themselves in a unifying way. What is the big deal in that? Is it not better to be a whole community (Niger Delta) and be peaceful, than chanting individual tribal superiority which causes endless conflicts.

I'm with them on this, let them call themselves Niger delta and see themselves as one over there, it will be of immense benefits to them.


So far no one is putting a gun on their head to call themselves Niger Delta. This should not be a big deal.
