Apparently you are very naive with the law, so i wont argue with you, what i will say is

Take the Man to court and lets see the court confirm him guilty stop delay tactics nd adjournment upon adjournment

the matter in which the plea of the defendant has not even been taken in the charge, you're talking about adjournment upon adjournment, hmmm 🤔 all bow to the Delaw of our time 🤣🤣🤣

masterfactor:
You are the one that is delusional, do you think war is based on statistics. Some of you need to read the The ART OF WAR before coming to nairaland to just type anything that comes to ur mind without reasoning.

I now understand the source of your problems, you're using ART OF WAR , a book written in 18th century as guide book and manual of war for arrows and chariots battle, in year 2026, the Year of missiles and drones? You case is indeed more pathetic than I thought!

ddippset:
Don't mind those clowns.

Would you be surprised considering the kind of person who is leading this government?

They better get verifiable digital evidence of the tapping instead of planting tapping machines in people's houses.

I guessed you were there when they were conducting the search?

ddippset:
It's not by recovering wire tapping equipment.

Show digital evidence that Ribadu's phone was tapped.

Wayo Wayo criminal minded Government thinking we are iiidiots.

Your uncle don confessed say he do am , shikena!

reddingtonblack:
Are you believing those ediot, what gadget ?? 🤣 Is it El rufai that is tapping call by himself why will he keep such gadget in his own residential house

El rufai is now hacker hacker 🤣 Shebi una don get evidence take him to court nd stop delay tactics

Very senselezz set of people ... They will arrest nd be asking you to show them evidence you are a criminal

Bro , the man has already confessed to the crime,if you knew anything about it too kindly do the same and stop hiding behind a finger 🤞

oluwaseyi0:
I know they will finally find way to implicate him

ADC better open their transfer window to replace him, El Rufai is a gonna

Unfortunately he sold himself out too cheap, Northerner politicians thinking they can get away with loose month

Deep down I believe this man didn't even do it, he probably just had an insider that relate things to him, but he wants to feel on top the world hence saying nonsense

Thank God you heard him when he said it, so what else?

Kalashnikov49:
So these are people that will give TINUBU votes in SE?

I thought the dot Nation didn't have electoral value?

So una dey love SE now, because north don discharge una abi?

Jokers

calm down! This are the good people of South Eastern State, they are different from the tribal bigots , I'm also from the south east,we can't continue to be in opposition all the time, City boy is performing excellently well so why not support him to consolidate the political gains of the south east states instead of shouting we no go gree all the time.

Buccalcavity2:
My opinion. El rufai is very useless. I admired his revenue turnaround in Kd and praised him...but he makes some inflamatory statements that shows that he isnt a statesman but a closet terrorist. He only covers his extremism up with grammer.
I cant forget the video where he said he had schemed it to the next 4 governors to ensure no christain becomes Kd governor. Haba! an ex governor?
Same with this NSA phone bugging statement...."i know it is illegal but we listen to them".... an ex governor?
Very stupid utterance.

I now understand why his children are always talking senseless online,a situation of like the father like the son.

AMINDA:
Elrufai has given the EFCC assignment as they continue to peruse through the hard copies of meticulously documented transactions dating back to his time as FCT Minister right down to the end of his tenure as governor. They can take all the time in the world. When he's done, he will go to court and eat up the watery DSS charges for lunch. He is not new to this game. Man is only experiencing deja vu. He has been here before.

he is going to learn his good lesson this time, thank God we all heard him when he said he and others had tapped in to the NSA and other key govt officials phones and are always listening to their conversations. Believe me he is not coming back soon.

Maxymilliano:
Was the phone truly tapped? If I say I stole your phone but your phone was never stolen does that make me a thief and punishable for theft of your phone which was not actually stolen?

what are you saying dude? The word "tapped" indicated that it was done without the knowledge and consent of the owner, Elrufai talk too much and now his running mouth don put am for wahalla.

Onanuga is a power drunk executive ra-sc-al.
No multi ethnic state should have such rampaging tribalist anywhere near the sit of power. Dude is full of village hate and sees his problems as being caused by anyone not from the same ethnic stock like him.
So petty minded and very narrow minded in his ways. His relevance in Nigerias politics begins and ends with this rudderless regime. Matter of time before he is swiftly swept into political oblivion where he rightly belongs..

@Seun

Once again using his forum to allow open bashing of muslims and islam.

Thread said Taliban, and all of a sudden every commenter is saying muslims.

Knowing fully well, there are people with cultural beliefs, that have nothing to do with islam but they happen to be muslims.

Not necessarily all Talibans are even muslims.

These dog whistle Islamphobia threads should stop in 2026.

The Taliban was created by osama bin ladin who claimed he was wagging jihads against the infidel and they're known for their principles worldwide and Afghanistan is a Muslim nation practicing Islamic religion so tell me how you want to exonerate Islam from this ? Instead of supporting the condemnation of this devilish laws, you're here shouting islamphobia

This is the reality of what shari'a is all about, for those of you advocating for the introduction of Sharia, I believed you're learning from the chaos facing ithe country practicing sharia

If you people like paired obi with any one in the north just to spite and frustrate atiku chances of emerging as a presidential candidates, tinubu wIll still win as usual.

emmabest2000:
No one should mention village people here

who else could remotely manipulate this young man to do this if no be them?

Only foolish people still listen to Elrufai, a man that is without any integrity and bandits sympathizer.

WhizdomXX:
Lol those are Obi and Atiku stronghold, aside Kogi and Kwara. Yes Yoruba Christains.

this people voted against tinubu in the last election because of the Muslim/Muslim tickets, if tinubu could retraced his step and pick a Christian running mate , he would surely capture this areas and don't forget the block votes from the Yorubas and south south people , couple with the votes from good people of South Eastern part.

Zehdbe:
did you just list all these states and say they are majorly christian. where are you from?

I'm from the north and contact Google for further confirmation, everything is not about fura & nunu spot gist

AMINDA:
Which is one of the main reasons why the North may not vote Tinubu if he settles for a Northern Christian Vice because even his faith appears to be for political reasons. The North trusts a Muslim because having the ability to keep to one's promise is one of the hallmark of a muslim. That's the only way they can feel their interests would be protected. Hard as we may pretend, the North votes based on religion, the Southwest vote based on ethnicity, the Southeast vote based on sentiments and the Southsouth vote based on interests.

there are lots of Christians in the north that would vote for Tinubu, state like plateau, gombe, Taraba , adamawa, southern part of kaduna, southern part of kebbi,kogi state , kwara state apart from ilorin are majorly Christians, they would vote massively for Tinubu for identitying with them , hausas , fulanis or kanuris may eat their votes if they like.

franchasofficia:
How does this video make any sense?


This guys are just deceiving themselves.


If they spotted them moving in large numbers, what stopped them from calling for air raid on the terrorists?


Is there any sign the terrorists where neutralized or destroyed in the so called yeye ambush video?

The most reasonable comment today

I now understand why this man was sacked as a special adviser, even my niece of 5 years old no fit dey reason like a monkey like this

advocatejare:
Nigerians and confusion are 5 and 6

Some people can never see anything good in this government even if it’s glaring to them, just because their preferred candidate did not win the last election.

As Nigeria is getting better, may those not happy with the the improvement continue to suffer heart breaks and sadness.

Nigeria shall be great!

Ase wa!, Ise! , Amin na , Amen !

obi4eze:
Very true. In fact, it is an act of patriotism to kick Tinubu out of the seat which was gotten by deceit.

wait till 2031 to do that bro, this man called tinubu is actually doing well at the moment.

Cherrybae:
The court order s prima facie, unconstitutional and a nullity..

Coordinate Jurisdiction Problem.

A High Court:
Cannot restrain a Chief Judge of a State in the performance of constitutional duties

Especially where the Chief Judge is administrative head of that same court system

Such an order offends:
Judicial hierarchy
Comity
Institutional independence.

Tell them to go and challenged the order at the court of appeal, it's not in their mouth or yours to determine the constitutionality or otherwise of a court order.

Cherrybae:
We the Rivers Youth Movement have read with total dismay on social media and numerous News outlet a purported court Order restraining the chief judge from carrying out its constitutional duties.

Below is a properly cited, structured, and analytical Nigerian constitutional law treatment of the question whether a court can stop a Chief Judge from carrying out constitutional duties, with specific constitutional provisions.
1. Constitutional Status of a Chief Judge

(a) Source of Authority
The office of the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) and Chief Judge of a State is created by the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
Relevant provisions:
Section 231 – Chief Justice of Nigeria
Section 256 – Chief Judge of a State
Section 271 – Appointment of State Chief Judge
Section 292 – Removal of judicial officers

A Chief Judge’s powers are constitutional, not derived from statute or executive discretion.

2. General Rule: Courts Cannot Restrain Constitutional Duties

Legal Principle

A court cannot issue an injunction restraining a Chief Judge from performing constitutional or administrative judicial functions.
This principle is anchored on:
Separation of powers
Independence of the judiciary
Hierarchy and comity within the judicial system
A court of coordinate or lower jurisdiction lacks competence to restrain a constitutional judicial officer.

3. Exclusive Disciplinary Authority of the NJC

Constitutional Basis

Section 153(1)(i) – Establishes the National Judicial Council (NJC)
Paragraph 21, Third Schedule – Vests disciplinary control over judicial officers in the NJC

The NJC has exclusive power to: Investigate allegations
Recommend suspension or removal
Exercise disciplinary control

4. Leading Authority: Elelu-Habeeb v. A.G. Federation

Elelu-Habeeb v. A.G. Federation (2012) 13 NWLR (Pt. 1318) 423 (SC)

Facts:

The Governor of Kwara State suspended the Chief Judge without NJC involvement.
Supreme Court held:
Suspension or removal of a Chief Judge without NJC recommendation is unconstitutional
The NJC’s role is mandatory
Any action bypassing NJC is null and void

Key Ratio:

“The National Judicial Council is the only body constitutionally empowered to exercise disciplinary control over judicial officers.

Implication:

If even the Governor and House of Assembly cannot suspend a Chief Judge without the NJC, a court cannot do so by injunction.

5. Courts Cannot Assume NJC’s Role

NJC v. Aladejana (2014) 14 NWLR (Pt. 1426) 570

The Supreme Court reaffirmed that:
Disciplinary powers over judges lie exclusively with the NJC
Courts cannot usurp this role

6. Limits of Judicial Intervention

What Courts MAY Do

A court may:
Interpret constitutional provisions

Declare actions unconstitutional

Enforce NJC recommendations

Review due process after NJC action

What Courts MAY NOT Do

A court may not:
Suspend a Chief Judge

Stop assignment of cases

Restrain administrative control of courts

Issue ex parte orders preventing performance of duties
Any such order is a nullity.

Relevant Supporting Authorities

A.G. Federation v. Abubakar (2007) 10 NWLR (Pt. 1041) 1
The Supreme Court warned against: Judicial interference that destabilizes constitutional governance.
Military Gov. of Lagos State v. Ojukwu (1986) 1 NWLR (Pt. 18) 621
Affirms supremacy of the Constitution and due process.

Practical Application

Example Scenario
If a litigant obtains:
An ex parte order restraining a Chief Judge from swearing in judges or assigning case

Legal Effect:

Order is void ab initio

Constitutes abuse of court process
Liable to be set aside on appeal or by the issuing court

Summary

Legal Position
Court stopping Chief Judge’s duties

❌ Not allowed
NJC disciplinary role

✔ Exclusive
Court enforcing NJC decision

✔ Allowed
Suspension without NJC

❌ Unconstitutional
Injunction against CJ
❌ Nullity

FinalConclusion

✔ A Nigerian court cannot stop a Chief Judge from carrying out constitutional duties.

✔ Only the NJC can discipline or recommend removal.

❌ Any court order restraining a Chief Judge without NJC involvement is unconstitutional and void.

Based on the above, we hereby call on the NJC as a matter of National interest to sanction the judge who issued the restraining order.

We further call on Gov Fubara and hus Deputy to appear before the 7 man panel to be constituted by the chief Judge and defend all allegations.

We wish to warn that if within 72hrs, the NJC fails to sanction the Judge, we vow to shutdown all operations in Rivers state, All industries. Schools. Markets, shops. Banks will be shutdown until our demands are implemented.

It is rather ironic to describe Dele Momodu as a “big fish” with electoral value when he cannot command enough support to win an election even among his siblings, let alone his family members.

big fish indeed! Bunch of clowns

But Davido, please try to always patronise condom warehouses, we won’t have to be dealing with this kind of thing every year. January is too young fa.

If this is true, I would advise the mum to look elsewhere for the paternity of her daughter. Perhaps the father isn’t doing well, father na father.

someone said he didn't have anything to do with the lady but was forced to conduct DNA tests by his father, you're here advertising condoms.
