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. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/saraki-loses-fundamental-rights-suit-in-court/ CC: Lalasticlala, OAM4J, Afam4eva |

eph12: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 ![]() |
frankyychiji:Lol. Not really, just voicing my opinion. It's a frivolous suit filed against a Judge. No be Judge go sit on the case?? |
chukwudi44:This comedian has come again? ![]() All your submissions are usually wrong. And you'll start screaming Appeal court, then later...supreme court! After the supreme court ruled against your silly unreasonable argument, you then go into a mourning hibernation. You are nothing but a comic relief ![]() |
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. |
That is a beautiful legal explanation. Although the law is an ass and can be twisted as desired. |
Kundagarten:Who are the unnoticed 'we'? |
sunnyb0b0: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. |
Revelation4: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. ![]() |
changeagent: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. |

Correct! |
moscobabs:Saraki's team went to file another case at the High court in Lagos seeking to cancel his trial again. |
20pounds: agabusta: |
cornoil: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. |
chukwudi44: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. Pls grow up old man. |
Why do people find it hard to get it into their heads that peeps from the NW, NC and NE always bear similar names. You selfish lots prefers to lump the whole North as one but conveniently is of the opinion that the south is made up of 3 regions. |
Tunami:They actually wanted to launder that cash out. The excuse of buying weapons was just a cover in case the attempt fails. That is the exact reason their arguments are contradictory and disjointed. Only God knows the other such money laundering operations that was successful. |
story story |
officialnaija:Why this arm twisting of the judiciary |
These people should go and prepare for re-run abeg. What is all these shenanigans for? This Wike thinks he can intimidate the judiciary. With the way he is sponsoring different attacks against the judiciary, he will soon shoot himself in the foot. |
PassingShot:The actions of Wike is a great embarrassment. |
Sowell28:Quite educative. |
PedroJP: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. And pls do tell, why are u bringing Igbo/Yoruba into this matter?? Did u see anything Igbo/Yoruba on my earlier post? |
fr3do: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. |
carnegiefan:How come it's so difficult for u people to see from his (Tonyebarcanista) own perspective. He stated it clearly that it is not logical for u to refer to the entire PH as Igweocha. He said if u say a part of it, you may be correct. Is that enough concession?? |
chukwudi44:Shut up Oga. Stop using idea. You specifically only mentioned 120 days for the supreme court. |
Congrats to the handsome Ooni. |
Ugomba:You are wrong. There are ijaws in Ondo state in Ese Odo LGA. In Ondo state, after the news is broadcast in English, it is then broadcast in Yoruba and Ijaw. |
chukwudi44:After the Appeal court ruling the illegal Governor will have to step aside. Be guided! |
