Goodness gracious! When did the Executive become so daring and lawless enough to attack the Judiciary in this dastardly manner? They have toyed with the Legislature and now it's time to address Buhari's headache a.k.a the Judiciary?

Is this the new era of intimidation and impunity since goddamn arseholes consciously voted for in 2015? Is this the kind of gestapo governance they crave and desire? Where is democracy, separation of powers and simple, basic courtesy and respect for the rule of law?
How can they knock down gates to gain access to and arrest a serving judge? What else is left before the sham of a constitution we operate is suspended?

Your last sentence, suspension of the constitution will amount to a coup d'etat. I believe the President won't do that.

Very interesting.

The DSS will not move against these Judge's,if there are no proof of them collecting bribes.

These are Judges,and not ordinary Nigerians. So for the Security men to publicly move against them this way,would show they have gathered tangible evidences.

The Judiciary is the most protected Arm of any Government,and I hope to God the DSS are sure of what they are doing.

If these Judges have been compromised,then the National Judicial Council should not only Debar them,but they should be jailed for a long time for bringing the legal system to a disrepute.

I stand with the fight against corrupt Judges.

--Modified-

Just read that Governor Wike,after hearing these two Judges were getting picked up,personally drove to another Judge's house in Port-Harcourt and prevented the DSS from picking the Judge up.

-How did Wike know that Judge will be picked by the DSS?

-What made Wike know instinctively that the Government will be interested in that Judge?

-Why would a Governor race in his Pyjamas(heard they brought clothes for him to wear later) to prevent the DSS from picking the Judge,if he has nothing to fear?

Summary.

I think the Judiciary has a very corrupt cabal,that sells Judgement to the highest bidder,and the DSS just rounded all of them up this night.

If it is proven that Wike,just like others influenced this Judge's with bribes to retain the Governorship seat,then his matter will be revisited by the law.

And I think that is why he ran nearly naked,to the judge house to prevent the DSS from taking him away.

you are a proper mumu, is Wide not the chief security officer of the state?

RZArecta:
There's something infinitely and explicitly wrong with APC zombies, it borders on madness. This scenario of "storming" judges houses only happens in a dictatorship and unfortunately we've been hoodwinked into allowing a known tyrant come back to power.

I knew the Buhari junta wouldn't allow a 5% take over from Malami since its only the NJC that can nominate his replacement but I didn't know how they would go about it, I didn't know the obvious dunderhead Buhari would stoop this low in a democracy under the guise of fighting corruption just to have his satanic ways. Oh how we pray for another 1985 to happen quick before Nero burns the republic down with his madness

Lol see ranting of a typical wailer, Where are you when those judges are collect bribe? where are you when those judge keep granting bail to looters of our commonwealth? bro sorry you can keep ranting Buhari is on a right track.

Mind you most of those are arrested are Northerner and Swesterners.

Wtf is standard abeg?
I've been seeing it frequently now

APCmyheart:



Exactly, They keep granting looter bail.

Until you expunge the provisions for bail from the statute books and the Constitution, ur postulations smack of complete ignorance, political servitude and nothing else. Every accused person has rights and is innocent until proven guilty. What makes a person a looters? EFCC and Buhari pronouncements or final judgment of courts? Have you not heard that he who alleges must prove? The judiciary serves to preserve the dignity of Nigerian citizens and not at the pleasure of any government in power.

Kgdavid:


that duty lies with the National Assembly

The arms check themselves.... this night bust up is the equivalent of a judge unilaterally issuing buhari quit notice with no charge against him. .. let there be due process, clear for all to see. Not under cloak of darkness

kenny987:


Are u for real? So ur quoting me earlier was just the quintessential empty barrel making the loudest noise because they taught u small government that u never even grasped its application? Go and read up on th disciplinary functions of the National Judicial Council and then procedures for arrest and detention in the ACJA. I will not spoon-feed u with links. I referred u earlier to the 3 judges recently removed by the NJC. Read up and get back to me.

Lawyers don't do links, they do statute and rule books.

Madam, i first asked you for a title (of a publication, act, etc) before i asked for a link.

I don't live in Nigeria so i'm not conversant with the specifics of the workings of the Nigerian Judiciary. I have read up on the cases of the dismissed judges and they are fundamentally different from this one, in the fact that in those cases, private individuals made petitions against the judges, but here we are talking about the DSS, a body under the executive.

Are you saying that the ONLY way to ever arrest a judge in Nigeria is after investigation by the National Judicial Council? This sounds highly unlikely as it is undemocratic and contrary to principles of checks and balances. If this were so, then a corrupt judiciary could never be checked! Anyway, i'll continue looking at the other sources you mentioned, and be right back.

bcashy:


my brother look ur back, dem dey ur back ooooooooooooooo . They will soon come for u quoting laws that dont exist . Buhari no even get their time................no name dey never call am but the man just dey do im own dey go..............Make God help am

That's how it suppose to be, You don't care about what people say.

Your last sentence, suspension of the constitution will amount to a coup d'etat. I believe the President won't do that.

My question there was, what else is left before that suspension if the he already picks n chooses what provisions of our laws to obey or disregard? There are so many things people beloved buhari would or wouldn't do. What is the position today?

It is not out of the realm of possibility because buhari has been a military person from his formative years till date. He cannot function in a democratic setting without absolute power to kill abd destroy perceived enemies at will. He does not understand why anyone should criticize him n go free when a gun can easily cow dissenting voices and kill stubborn ones. He's not given to cerebral tendencies, just brawn, blood and gore peppered with a haughty self-righteousness and vindictiveness.

But what happen when the same judiciary is corrupt who will curb them?

adconline:

What an arrogant display of congenital idiocy! Are there charges against those judges?

They are corrupt, we have thousand of judges in Nigeria why is it that it's this few they went after? reason with you brain.

CecyAdrian:


It happens in every sane country. Nigeria is not the first

ALISMILE:
wailers re jus nauseating. U accuse EFCC of lAck of success forgeting its same judges taking bribes frm thieves re the ones frustrating criminal cases in court.
It is only in Nigeria criminals plead to go to court because they know they ll alws get their way there.
Wailers can wail until their deaths but we voted for Buhari to sanitise nigeriA.

APCmyheart:


Mr man stop yarning thrash, Most of those judges are so corrupt that no matter what they will still favor the higher bidder, Most of them belong to same cult so we need a IRON hand.

APCmyheart:


What is this one saying, Nigeria need a iron hand my dear, Calmness does not solve everything.

So abducting judges in the dead of the night is the way to go about fighting corruption now?

You lots are just too ignorant to understand the dangers of such actions in a democracy.

Absolute rubbish. Woke fits the FG. We have seen them intimidate every sector like u saw in Edo election, senate, house of reps, inconclusive inec in kogi , part of rivers. Pls bro be reasonable .

Kgdavid:


What do you know of governance, separation of powers and the rule of law? Let me inform you that separation of powers is incomplete without checks and balances. Do you know what that principle is?

And who told you a serving judge cannot be legally arrested? If you are ignorant of the law, must you expose yourself for all to see?

Don;t mind him bro, Many people just comment based on what they tell them, Many people who are protesting in Edo state now don't what they are doing they are only being brain washed.

Did you just mean to say the arms should check themselves by themselves? That cannot happen.

Now here's why your analogy is not even remotely correct:

1. Judiciary cannot check executive. that is the function of the legislative

2. the legislature can arbitrarily summon the executive before them, provided there is consensus

3. The judges were arrested just last night. It is too soon to cry about due process because arrest is only stage one of the process. Due process would be for them to be informed of the charges against them, taken to court, etc

Oga the CJN and the judiciary council definitely know about this, Who sacked 3 judges lat week?

eboigbe22:


anything wey go bring kworupt judges to order, is welcomed

Hybrid Zombie......

Which of the corruption are you talking about

FG/SSG that uses N270 to clear grass at IDP camp, diversion of more than 70 trailers load of rice meant IDP

Danbazzau that was exposes for collecting N1 billion per month & with properties littered in Abj

Burutai that was director of procurement during the arms purchase & with properties at Dubai

Fashola's website of N78 million, boreholes of N139 million

FG returning of 48 houses @ Abj to Timipre Sylvia

State governors that gave stolen funds to Buhari for his presidential campaign

The list is endless.....so what is your own definition of corruption??

I said they watch each other's backs.... read well
The judiciary interpretes the law correctly if the executive wants to over reach itself... that is how it checks the executive my friend.
If you have any case, why go breaking people's fences in the night Is there no better and more clear way to do this in public glare? What are they hiding? Coincidentally these are the judges interpreting the law differently from them. Just great.
I really confused at what you are promoting in the name of law.

[s][/s]



Your opinion changes nothing. Their houses havs been invaded and they will be locked up so as to serve as lessons to other judges not to undermine the powers of the executive. The judges have never ruled in favor of buhari ever since be began several trials. Do you expect him to fold his hands and watch? That is why he is the commander in chief of armed forces. He can get whatever he wants

i feel nothing but pity for you to have such an opinion of how your country should be run. if you want to be associated with tyranny and wrong democratic practices, shame on you. this is not what we voted him in for.

So all that is paining you is that they broke into their homes? You and i were not on ground, s how can yu tell whether or not such force was necessary?

What is essential and open for discussion here, is the fact that they were arrested. Should they have been r should they not have been?

If you have no issues with their actual arrest, then you and i have nothing to discuss here.

I wonder the kind of country we are where all we believe in is been so sentimental and shy away from the truth because of some clueless politicians who are only after their pockets. U formulated your own lies against ur fellow brother cos of ur party differences. Well I'm neither a PDP nor APC supporter but I think we should not deferm characters because we wanna make sense. And i also smell injustice, dictatorship and nepotism in this present administration but God will take control. Good day

Which mumu democracy walk out of Nigeria? you mean he one that give space for looting? The one that support stealing as it's not corruption?

U pple and hypocrisy is sometin else! So u want pple who re corrupt to be given parts on their backs becos they re Judges? When EFCC cases fail in court u run to Nairaland to scream 'Buhari has failed in his Anti corruption war', 'Not a single person has been convicted in court'. I know ur kinds.
This is the exact reason we voted Buhari.

If a judge house is invaded with sledgehammer,what will you do when your house is invaded with policemen in your area.Your brain has been relegated to division 3

The first person to comment on this news is just a fool. Judges are well respected people in the country and needs to be treated as such,if the so called DSS thinks the have done something wrong,they should have invited them first than to invade their houses.

I know that you will still vote for APC again in 2019,so enjoy what you have voted for,believe me in 2018 APC will try and make you people see as if they are working as they will try as much as the can to make things change,just to confuse you again to vote for them in 2019 which you people will do again and cry for the rest of your life
