The Chief Justice of Nigeria says the panel will be reconstituted; whether it's only one, or two that's removed, who knows/cares. But most likely, it will be a new set of judges.

By the way, CJN is not under the control of the President, I hope you guys know that.

Which SANS are you talking about? Hope you are not reffering to the cash and carry Lawyer, Ozakhome, who's been known to call white black and black white whenever it suits the purpose of his benefactors.

blackpanda:
I am beginning to see Ozekhome as a clog in the wheels of progress of Nigeria. He always manages to twist law and facts to support illegality.

Perhaps those kidnappers should have done the needful

lanrefront1:
They will probably not.

It is clearly established that the ruling is against the New Administrative Law on stay of proceedings. The CJN is not under the control of the executive like the Attorney General.

Then, disbanding the panel is not a decision that the CJN must have arrived at lightly. It's possible that he may be privy to some information you and I don't have the privilege of knowing.

Remember the Rivers State Election tribunal chairman that was changed by the CJN. Later it came out that there was evidence of him being compromised that was brought to the knowledge of the CJN. The man never came out to say it's a lie.

If a judgment inconsistent with the constitution is allowed to stay because of one person, then it becomes part of our laws, as it will always be sighted as precedence by any other politicians being brough before the Code of Conduct Tribunal.

Guess the CJN doesn't want to go down in history as the CJN under whose tenure the gains of Nigeria's Administrative Law on stay of proceedings was taken 10 years backwards.

sammhi:
obviously, PMB and CJN does not like the judgement...they want the judgement to go certain way ..which it did not and so had to do this ....

I just taya.

You are accused of stealing money.

Instead of coming out to say "i did not steal money"

You are going to court to say u should not be tried and it is amazing some people still support that nonsense

kolomax:
like how he follow due process in removing justice Salami. Just keep shut if you can't comprehend the article

TheAdvocate:
Unfortunately for yu, that's not Saraki's case before the Supreme Court. His case is that due process was not followed in his arraignment before the CCT.

dammytosh:
It is unfortunate for you that when you are accused of stealing, instead of concentrating on defending your self you go to court and say due process is not followed.

Unfortunately for you , you can't because that is meant for the extremely rich politicians not you.

chukwudi44:
There would no such suits if due process was followed in the arraignment in the first place!!! Until the right things are done, saraki's trial will remain in the cooler.

Benwems:
Kolomax, as your name implies. You are mad. Justices Salami was disgraced, as a phone call between him and tinubu was intercepted. When he accepted to declare a candidate of acn in one of the south west states (I think osun or oyo) winner through the back door by accepting 10million dollars bribe. I dont have time to exchanges words with a slowpoke like you. So i would reply you again.

bonechamberlain:
why is the panel being reconstituted, in as much as I want corruption to be fought, the fg/judiciary should not make it so obvious that it is fighting saraki, why the rush to try him.

ishiamu:
This news will vex my nigga chukwudi44

lanrefront1:
I think your question has already been answered. The panel is being reconstituted because it's judgement cannot be allowed to stand, because it is an illegality and it portends danger for our justice system. The New Administrative Law of stay of proceedings represents a great progress in our justice system, that is corrupt politicians will no longer be able to use that weakness to prolong their trial which runs into several years until the government gets tired. The case of Abachas son went for over ten years due to various interlocutory injunctions and all sorts.

This ruling by the supreme court takes all that away in one stride and take things backwards to like 10 to 15 years ago.

bonechamberlain:
so u are saying a "supreme Court" justice gave an illegal judgement

lanrefront1:
No, I'm not saying so; the Chief Justice of Nigeria is saying so, after several learned lawyers and SANS like Femi Falana etc. raised alarm over the issue and the danger it portends for our justice system if allowed to subsist.

Make no mistake about it, the goal of the CJN is to upturn the ruling. Why else would CJN be going through the trouble of reconstituting another panel?

It's not about Saraki, it's about safeguarding the entire justice system. If the ruling or grant is allowed to stay, by precedent it become part of law, which many future cases will continue exploiting. This is the Supreme Court and not and High court.



The decision to disband the panel, according to judiciary sources, is partly due to the outcry generated by the Supreme Court’s ruling and the imminent retirement of Justice Fabiyi from the bench on November 25.

Eminent lawyers, including Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), Chief Folake Solanke (SAN), Chief Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN), Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), Jiti Ogunye and Malachy Ugwummadu, had described the Supreme Court’s ruling as contravening provisions of sections 306 and 369 of the new Administration of Criminal Justice Act.

The ACJA prohibits granting of a stay of proceedings in criminal cases.

. let us be careful in this country, remember its the supreme Court we are talking about, if the cries of "eminent lawyers", can make the cjn to disband a legally constituted panel, then we are in trouble, cause any govt can come into power and get some "eminent lawyers" on its side asking them to cry out loud on any case that doesn't favour the govt, thereby putting pressure on the cjn to form another or reconstitute the panel. we should not be playing politics with the judiciary especially at the highest level " the supreme Court".

lanrefront1:
The CJN is not a small boy, both literally and professionaly that he will be bullies by cry of a few SANS. If what the SANS are saying is wrong, rubbish, holds no water, he wouldn't be bothered. He will just siddon and be looking at them.

I think you read the article and see the reasons the CJN stated for taking the action it is taking .

And it is exactly because it's the Supreme Court we are talking about, that the CJN cannot allow the ruling to subsist without upturning it. Don't you get that? Whatever the supreme court does is binding on every court of law in Nigeria and becomes part of the law of the land!!!

bonechamberlain:
this is Nigeria where appointments are made using sentiments, so expect the cjn to bulge to powerful people especially when he knows they can influence his removal.
