They still dey ground dey collide

Would you rather "they collide" in the air?

Yeah. I hope some thing positive happens

Some of these men in black are satanic.

I tell you. Even those who pose as "friends", I never let them know where I live

He is not a lawyer, his post hardly qualifies for the views of a part three law student. Issues of attending court by an accused person is basic criminal law. Although one may say that the CCT may be liberal in such matters but not when the accused is on bail, which is one contract with the court that breach of has severe consequence for his liberties and reputation.
There are a lot of jokers on nairaland , take them serious for amusement only.

Thank you very much. Your advice taken. Will sit back and amuse myself at peoples deliberate show of ignorance.

lawflec:
if u really are a lawyer then you ought to desist from name calling. You merely correct if it's wrong and as a gentle man that you ought to be, cite the relevant laws that mandates him to be in court. But to take the direct opposite of and drag the nobility of the profession to disrepute is uncalled for here... No offence pls.

"If I am really a lawyer?". I'll refrain from being pulled down to your abysmal level. It's a faceless forum so slanderous and libelous comments can unfortunately slip by. Your cup of tea anyway. I have nothing else to say to you. Nairaland is definitely not what it used to be ages ago. The quality of discussions and informed debates have plummeted to an all time low. Tantrums, insults and out right misinformation is bandied as the truth and official position and attempts to put things in proper perspective is met most times with insults. Oh well....

lawflec:
election petition are criminal. Secondly, no law in Nigeria mandates an accused to be in court after the writs have been exchanged except to give evidence of which he can refuse and remain silent. Compelling him to appear in court is a violation of section 41 of the constitution.

I hate to say this but its apparent you are either a student or a quack. If you are a lawyer then there is a big problem because you will deliberately lead your Clients' to a blind alley. Nairalanders beware. Since you are audacious I have a duty to alert every one on this forum not to take you seriously. I have put in 15 solid years in this profession to the glory of God. Are there other lawyers in this forum? This guy needs to be put in check!

My thoughts exactly. I am as confused about the whole thing as you are. No official statement, nothing....it possible he was given administrative bail. But next logical question would be...For supposed treason?

meforyou1:
well to me it is very simple. We caught him red handed in one abakiliki roads issue.

Ok

meforyou1:
mind you, ngeneukwenu is male. A very fooliish idiotic boy

Well I have always thought she was female but thanks all the same. Would rather not dabble into this contentious subject.

lawflec:
Not at all. Dsp will not preside, it will be Saraki. Firstly, Amechi and others would be screened tomorrow not Wednesday.
Secondly, if the screening is on Wednesday, he can. still preside because the judicial interpretation of section 36 is that an accused must be represented during his trial either in person or through a legal practitioner of his choice. And it implies. Both in civil or criminal matters. That is why even in election petitions the respondent must not be in court. However, Saraki being an intelligent man would rather go to court than sit in the house and watch Amechi loose his bid to become a minster.

Please permit me to correct you there sir. Election petitions are civil in nature thus Petitioners and Respondents need not necessarily appear except to give evidence. However in Criminal matters the Accused MUST appear in person no matter how HIGHLY placed. The CCT has ruled that it has criminal jurisdiction so how is it for you that Saraki can elect not to attend? I find your position strange with due respect to you. Thank you

Rumours Conjectures and Speculation from unknown and unverifiable sources. Until the Judgment is read and we see the reasons adduced by their Lordships in arriving at their Judgment (which ever way it goes) I would not join the speculators club.

huche:
What are they waiting for??

These things do happen and it's not a strange occurrence to us in the field. There are several reasons why the Judgment could not be ready. But it definitely would be read when their Lordships are set to do so. But because this matter has political undertone from inception all kinds of meanings and conjectures would begin to fly around as reasons for the delay when it might not be exactly so. To the uninformed, the legal profession is one of the most misunderstood.

Very well then, we await the Judgment when ready

With the kind permission of the MODS, I hope this is the right section to post this.
I have observed silently that most times forumites have legal issues or challenges and do not seem to know what their legal remedies and or options are in most cases. Most times they post the issues here and the advise they're given are wide off the mark.
All would like to do is enlighten us as much as my time would permit on not too complicated legal challenges or burning issues you all may need clarifications on. Other colleagues are welcome to rub minds with me here as the idea is to learn from each others experiences.
If the MODs find this ok, then lets proceed. I am not available here 24/7 but be assured I would pop in here at least twice daily to see what issues are up for discussion. Thanks

From Oshodi MMIA is some 15 minutes drive if traffic is free flowing. You can't miss it. You can get a bus from Oshodi to the airport

NgeneUkwenu:
Thank you for affirming my position!

You are welcome madam

NgeneUkwenu:
In criminal cases, the accused must be present and also sit in the dock until the trial is over. So he will be attending court anytime the case is called.

.
This is the official position. It's what the law says and not what some of you think"ought to happen". In ALL criminal trials the accused person MUST be present. If he cannot due to ill health perhaps, his lawyer must tender a medical report in support. No other excuse will be tenable including ministerial screening. Thank you

adeaks:
In theory, he has to appear in court to face his trial but I fully expect him not to appear in court that day. This is a man who twice had bench warrants issued against him and nothing happened. Saraki would also say that he has a pressing national assignment and because of that he can't afford to appear in court.
Truth is that he is higher than the court. The CCT is like a dog that can only bark without biting.

You definitely can't be serious. Please don't misinform others here. The kind of stuff I read on naira land these days....smh

May his soul rest in peace. Just like Sly of Classic FM, both deaths were shockers for me.

Please contact a seasoned solicitor there to guide you through the process so that your hard earned funds is not scammed off you. I have come across several people who think investment in property is just similar to buying a shirt in the market and can be done without the input of a competent professional. Good luck sir.

While not degrading the idea behind your services I thought the IG has instructed that officers of the NPF be recalled form escort services for VIPs and non deserving citizens?

The defilement of under age children is now an unfortunate "epidemic" if I may put it this way. Hardly a day passes with out this sordid news.

Good evening sir. We just spoke. Would revert before Close of Business tomorrow God willing. Thanks

Enforcement of Fundamental Human Rights and Claims for damages loading.....

newheartub:

But police could hav used a polite way

NgeneUkwenu:
Jonathan is a common criminal! Even Akpabio has also disowned him!

"Common Criminal"? This is too harsh my sister. Mind you I am not a fan of GEj.

meforyou1:
do u think u know about the Nigerian Army more than me?

Are you a soldier? This is a face less forum. We can meet to identify ourselves privately and you might be pleasantly surprised

I still repeat. If the Police Divisional Command and Area E command BOTH in Festac couldn't deploy immediately to rout a few rag tag gun men, then too bad

meforyou1:
what do you mean? Is armed robbery not a crime worthy of Airforce attention? Watch 9/11 documentary. When about 2 or 3 aircrafts were missing, an airport officer phoned the military and told them that civil aviation suspects a missing plane was high jacked and was heading to Washington and asked them to scramble jet bombers. They did that immediately. they did not wait for authorization from the commander in chief or from the chairman joint chiefs of staff. Difficult situations deserve quick thinking.

This is Nigeria and not that documentary you are watching. If you were in the military as a commanding officer in Lagos and on that day the robbers struck festival town you DARE deploy as little as 5 men without AUTHORIZATION from your superiors, by now you'd be in hand cuffs under going interrogation by the DMI. You think the various Army Navy and Airforce commanders in Lagos were FOOLS on the day of that robbery? Do you know better than them? Learn before you criticize oga mi.
