Judicial Mischievousness!!!

When the Sex for Marks Professor from OAU Ife was exposed the University authorities promptly probed and suspended him until he was jailed by a court! The University Professors and ASSU did not threaten nor blackmail the University Authority, Judiciary nor Government in Defense of their erring colleague!


But every time a Judicial Officer is nabbed committing a crime or indulging in Corruption you find Lawyers shamelessly ganging up to harass and Blackmail the Government in his defense as if becoming a Lawyer or a Judge comes with inbuilt immunity from Investigations and prosecution!

Say No to a Rogues Infested Judiciary because the Judiciary is meant to serve as the last hope of the common man and not the Comfort Arena of the Big Thieves and the Corrupt!!

When EFCC boss was indicted by DSS on corruption and gross misconduct ,did he resign or step aside?

That's exactly why they will discipline Tanko tomorrow

ABia cj was suspended some time ago by the gov orji and another judge was appointed this happened without due process,NJC ordered that the cj be reinstated and sanctioned the judge that accepted “a stolen good”


They might sanction tanko.

Looking at another twist to the Islamization of Nigeria .the judiciary has a sharia judge and a PhD in Islamic studies as a cj of a secular country like Nigeria.

I knew buhari will Islamise nigeria,but I didn’t know how.

Fuckuignos:
Has anyone seen a press release from PDP and NBA condemning the actions of CJN Onnoghen for once since all of this started? Anyone?

Judges are not meant to grant interview or make press release,u no hear that one?

For now no one can say what happened about non declearation of assets until onoghen speaks !

All what you re hearing is not from onoghen.

It will be a wrong signal for our democracy if the cjn always have it in mind that he can be sacked unilaterally for the president,his loyalty will always be with him and his judgement will be in Favour of the president.


There is a reason for separation of power by baron demontesque .

Did he site any constitution to back up his point?

Nonsense

We can’t wait to kick out this tyrant.

And if you are a buhari supporter reading my post

Thunder fire you!.

Toodiiii

Any popular supporter of pdp and apc should hide their head in shame and don’t comment on this thread.

As for the supporters of other candidates,it’s sad that the big two disregard all Nigerians.

I feel sad for atiku boycott because I expect more than that.

I don’t feel anything for the dullard,he who is down fears no fall.infact he has gained some people to his side by not participating.


But morality aside and speaking politics ,it will be politically naive to expect or insist atiku should come,because of there will be a tag team effort to embarrass him being a former vp.

Nice move politically,bad move morally.


This is politics and not morality.

From the NBA Chairman, Akure Branch:

RE: ARRAIGNMENT OF HIS LORDSHIP, HON. JUSTICE WALTER SAMUEL ONNOGHEN, CJN:
LET THE LAW BE THE GUIDE.

Divergent reactions have greeted the news filtering in that the the Chief Justice of Nigeria, His Lorsship, Hon. Justice Walter Samuel Onnoghen will be arraigned before the Code of Conduct Bureau on Monday 14th January. Surprisingly, these reactions, coming from lawyers, are not based on law as it is. Most opinions and condemnations being voiced out are based on emotions, sentiments, political affiliation and all you can think of but law.

The starting point is to examine the proposed charge(s) against His Lordship. From reports made available, the CJN is alleged to have maintained foreign accounts and domiciliary accounts in foreign currency; His Lordship is alleged to have failed to declare his assets in violation of the Code of Conduct for Public Officers.

The second step is to examine the provisions of the law as it relates to the allegation about to be turned charges against His Lordship, the Hon. CJN.

Now, Schedule V, Part 1, of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended provides in paragraph 11 thereof as follows:

11.1. "Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, every public officer shall within three months after the coming into force of this Code of Conduct or immediately after taking office and thereafter -
a. at the end of every four years; and
b. at the end of his term of office, submit to the Code of Conduct Bureau a written declaration of all his properties, assets, and liabilities and those of his unmarried children under the age of eighteen years.

11.2. Any statement in such declaration that is found to be false by any authority or person authorised in that behalf to verify it shall be deemed to be a breach of this Code."

The same law provides that no public officer shall maintain any foreign account.

The third step is to enquire whether these constitutional provisions apply to the Chief Justice of the Federation and the answer can only be found in the law.

Schedule V part ii of the 1999 Constitution as amended provides for the categories of persons recognised by law as public officers. These includes

5. "Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justices of the Supreme Court, President and Justices of the Court of Appeal, all other judicial officers and all staff of courts of law."

It is thus without much ado that one can safely submit that the Chief Justice of Nigeria, His Lordship Hon. Justice Walter Samuel Onnoghen is a Public Officer. His Lordship is also bound by the provisions of the Code of Conduct for Public Officers as contained in the Constitution of the Federal Republic.

The fourth step is to examine the law as to what step could be taken by the Federal Government, through the Attorney General of the Federation when there is a breach or an alleged breach of any of these provisions.

Paragraph 12 of part 1 if the fifth schedule to the 1999 constitution provides:

12. "Any allegation that a public officer has committed a breach of or has not complied with the provisions of this Code shall be made to the Code of Conduct Bureau."

Now what is the AGF proposing to do? Nothing but complying with the law. Then why the hullabaloo? Those who oppose the step being taken by the Federal Government have advanced basically three arguments. First, they claim that independence of the judiciary is paramount. They have however forgotten to differentiate between the person of Mr. Hon. Justice Walter Samuel Onnoghen as a Nigerian who is not above the law and who could commit offence: a Nigerian who is not immuned and who is not better than many others His Lordship had tried and sentenced. The proponents of independence of the judiciary have failed, whether by commission or commission, to see that the office of the CJN is what is meant by judicial independence and not the person in the office. They have refused to appreciate the necessity of subjecting every person to equal treatment before the law, knowing that failure to so do portends great risk to our commonwealth.

The second reason being put forward by defenders of His Lordship, Hon. Justice Walter Samuel Onnoghen CJN is that the timing of the arraignment is suspect. According to them, the proposed charge is akin to an attempt by the ruling political party to compromise Election Petitions. This argument, every trained legal mind who agree, is fallacious. An offence can only be reported and tried when discovered. The GJN must be prepared to face and stand trial. And the burden is on His Lordship to prove his innocence as Paragraph 11.3, Part 1 of Schedule V of the 1999 Constitution deems a defendants guilty until contrary is proved.

11.3. "Any property or assets acquired by a public officer after any declaration required under this Constitution and which is not fairly attributable to income, gift, or loan approved by this Code shall be deemed to have been acquired in breach of this Code unless the contrary is proved.

Admittedly, the premise upon which the third argument is based is true but the conclusion drawn therefrom is false. The premise of the argument is that the Federal Government cannot remove the CJN without following due process, that is through the JSC. Yes, that is the law and it has received judicial backing in the case of NGANJIWA v. FRN, However, the conclusion drawn by anti-prosecution of Hon. Justice Walter Samuel Onnoghen CJN is fallacious. Hon. Justice Walter Samuel Onnoghen CJN cannot be removed except by recommendations of the National Judicial Service Commiasion. His Lordship can however be prosecured by the Code of Conduct Bureau and a conviction by the Bureau can be a basis for NJC's recommendation for removal.

Let us allow the rule of law and not the law of rulers. Hon. Justice Walter Samuel Onnoghen is just another Nigerian who should subject himself to laws that govern all Nigerians.

solutionmi:
small small IPOB is becoming a political party.

That’s how it’s supposed to be

NessaBoo:
Please let's always try to reason beyond sentiments, the CJN has admitted he forgot to make declaration of his assets, he also faulted himself that he did not include his standard chartered bank accounts in SCN 000014 because he believed they were not opened.(Ignorance is not an excuse to escape liability for violating the law) as a Chief Justice, he knows this.

Now a balance of N3, 221,807.05, $164,804.82, 55,154.56 Euros were respectively found in those accounts and he has been scheduled for arraignment at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, just as the law stipulates, and everybody is raising propaganda on his behalf, when the man himself is not.
The CJN has the resources to defend himself abeg.

If the opposition had been the one to level this allegations against the CJN and Buhari failed to do anything, you guys would still cite his failure to act this close to elections, because the CJN is an ally he wants to use at Tribunals.

Zombie show me the video where he said so.

Anybody that doesn’t reflect on this or pick up a note to jot a few things is sick.

I have taken time to relate this to my personal life,and I want you to do so.

TAO11:
How is a yoruba vote against a yoruba man (agbaje) a tribalist one?

Guy be realistic. The vote was obviously what it was -- a vote against PDP regardless of who the candidate was.

It was an Afront to some people that the igbos wants to dictate leadership in the state,in other to set the agenda in motion,the oba,rilwan fired the first shot by declearing that igbos will be thrown into the lagoon...

Let me stop there because I smell hypocrisy or amnesi or both in you.

There’s something wrong with the North population it’s seems to me like it’s the combination of Niger and Chad. Something isn’t right

Let’s do censors.

If u re Igbo and you are reading from SE click share

If u re Igbo and you are reading from Outside SE click like

Me that I hardly know any Igbo man in s/e.

Most of them will divide votes where they are for atiku favour.

Look at Lagos 2015 election ,most igbos votes for agbaje while most Yoruba votes for ambode,it was a strictly tribal contest that u hardly see a Yoruba voting for agbaje.
But at the end ambode won by 800k to 650k.
Same with gej and buhari... igbos are dividing votes.

But in south east it’s a uniform identity.

Dirty pigs!

greedy woman that wanted to marry a rich man.

why are women like this?

they will always want to marry people thrice as rich as them...a girl earning 100k wants to marry a boy a person earning 300k.

200k for 600k
600k for 1.8m
2m for 6m

and the list goes on .but men will marry for love and to help,i think men should begin to have a rethink.
