I wonder what the hullabaloo is all about. Some persons suspected of corruption were arrested and here we are making issues out of it. I have hear many people rely on separation of powers to criticize the actions of the DSS, I wonder whether executing the law is not part of the functions of the executive. Some have based their criticism on the time of carrying out the arrest, I wonder whether there are times in day/ night that the law prohibits arrest from being made. Under S.308 the constitution, there is no immunity cover for judges. Some highly placed persons have argued the judges ought to have been invited and not arrested. Which law prohibits arrest but prescribes invitation for persons where there are hard evidences indicating that crime is being committed. It is expected that judges leave above board and must be treated like criminals when they descend to that realm. 1 Like |

koboko69: Lol. Just apprise yourself with the correct facts and laws before stepping out to argue. No doubt, you must have read it but you applied it outta context. Any person can arrest, the police can arrest without warrants too but all is made subject to the strength of due process. Be informed. |

Phace: Please retiring justices that are almost at the twilight of their careers, and asking one to refund the money he collected installmentally is in your opinion 'good enough' punishments? Please Mr. don't play technicalities here, because while we are at it, their corrupt actions have real and horrible consequences on Nigerians. If they collected bribes, they should all be handed over for prosecution and actually prosecuted. I don't see how retiring an alleged corrupt judge is hardly any punishment for his crimes, it seems more like a slap on the wrist. So tell me why they won't continue taking bribes? For an institution that prides itself as the hope of the common man, they sure don't inspire any hope. Fortunately, the DSS will not use the same tactics as the NJC, because they are trained differently, that's why I've been asking if the DSS broke any laws, by arresting the judges based on their investigations. If so what part of their actions contravene the Nigerian constitution. If you're a legal practitioner, you should be able to point us to the facts! So we can be enlightened. We want corruption to go, but we don't want a breakdown of law and order, so let's get the technicalities out of the way, and get to the nitty gritty of the matter.... 4 Likes |

koboko69:Don't mind all those supporters of Anti-arrest who think a judge is a saint of justice. If a poor man could be stormed for arrest on his bed by the police in the middle of the night, who is a judge alleged to have taking part in eating our national yam?? 2 Likes |

sucess001: Unbelievable conclusion and inference from you right there. If you are a member of the NBA as you claimed, then I shudder at the thought of you representing a client with your uninhibited support for the jumentous actions of these individuals. Your line of argument to justify the corrupt judges is filipendulous, to say the least, and you wonder why the Nigerian law profession is not respected anymore like the days of yore. Just like a mumpsimus, the NJC has been corrupt by the infection warranted by the people constitutes it. It is a futile effort expecting the NJC to adjudicate this matter because of the caliber of people involved. 3 Likes |

Any country whose executive starts toying with separation of powers and starts justifying unlawful raids in the guise of arrest while flaunting laid down rules of how to tackle the judiciary is sliding into tyranny. Nigeria is fast descending into tyranny. The fight against corruption is highly targeted and selective. While some of the most corrupt Nigerians like Amechi and Tinubu are overlooked and rewarded with positions despite gross evidence against them, others in the opposition are being hounded to death. We then wonder why our economy is not making any progress. Buhari is replaying the same old script that led to his ousting as military president. The fight against corruption is supported but must not be selective and must be done under the rule of law. |

cyprex: Nice. But the power of the DSS to arrest is limited to only such offences provided by the Act that created them. Under such offences, siphoning of public funds is not among them. Hence, their arrest is outside the law. Besides, the NJC is the body with the disciplinary powers over judges and justices and still remains so. It is not part of the judiciary. The main crux of the whole argument is that uncouthed arrest could tell on the courts as the last hope of these helpless masses the FG has been tossing around. |

koboko69: Sir, Its a waste of time arguing with some pathological mofos. The internet is the most approachable, most affordable institution of learning at primary, medium, higher levels etc. There is hardly a subject under the sun that you will not find abundant resources online needed to equip yourself for a debate, be it in academic, political, ''beer parlour'', name it. If only some of us could spend half the time used propagating hatred, bigotry, spewing rubbish, exhibitting unpardonable ignorances online to research into matters online and then make informed opinion before joining online frays,ours will be a better society. The DSS acted within the ambit of the law and its mandate and this should be clear to all except a ''charge and bail'' few that hijacked the body of a very noble profession. Where a suspect is resisting entry into any property, abode, villa etc, the DSS has the right to apply reasonable force to gain entry. |

kaycodes: Like I said, you have to be wary of your facts. Two justices were compulsorily retired: Justices Mohammed Tsamiya and then, Justice A. Umezurike. The former was alleged to have DEMANDED sums of money prior to the judgement of a particular suit, while the latter was charged of malicious handling of a suit hence their retirement. Not one of them collected money from anyone except the third Justice Kabiru Auta, who now must be in police custody. So I don't know where you got your fact that the justices were asked to return looted sums instalmentaly. Moreover, the powers of the DSS like I've poured out over this thread is limited to only matters concerning internal security and the protection of the government, not financial crimes handling. They should leav that for the EFCC and ICPC. Its not about tactics; its about rule of law. |

koboko69:DSS is primarily concerned with Homeland security. EFCC and ICPC for financial crimes. Why should a serving judge should be arrested by over 500 DSS and Police officers by that time. Are they terrorists or insurgents?? Say what ever you like but would you say same if either of the judges was your dad and wasn't treated fairly? Why did they not get invited like everyone else? Why is their case aan exception? This has all the trappings of intimidation and victimization. And just for the record your the dumb person here. |

Phace: I for one wouldn't muddle up facts while explaining a situation, and would gladly elaborate on the point(s) I've made if it seems ambiguous. Although in reality, the Laws of nature do not always double as natural laws, but one law has proven its validity beyond science. Every action has an opposite reaction. The DSS made a clear point of its disapproval of the way an appeal court judge was merely retired by the NJC and told to pay the #200 million embezzled in installments. Like seriously? Someone took a bribe of #200 million, and the only punishment is refunding the money? Where is the punishment in that? The legal definition of punishment is: "The imposition of hardship in response to misconduct.". Where is the hardship in paying in installments, considering the relative value of money over time, inflation and other factors are taken into consideration? The NJC appears as haughty in its disdain for reality as the fabled elephant on his coronation. The issue at hand is not the legality of the decisions of the DSS, which is very legal. Its as simple as this; an NJC riddled with ridiculous outcomes of cases handed over to them cannot simply be entrusted with the cleansing of the rot in the judiciary. 1 Like |

[quote author=koboko69 post=50067156][b]1. I have never seen any where in the constitution where there is a stipulated time for arrest. As a matter of fact, u can be arrested anytime, any where and any day. Arresting by 1am, 4am, 12pm or on to of your olosho is inconsequential. 2. I have never seen any where in the constitution, where a serving Judge or a lawyer can not be arrested. This is more like saying they have immunity. 3. As a matter of fact, one can be arrested with or without a warrant, on suspicion on a criminal offence against the federal or state laws. E.g Bribery and Corruption. 4. The SSS takes their time to actually screen these clowns before confirmation of their appointments. This simply means their actions and inactions can be a threat to national security. If SSS screens them,why can't they be arrested by the same SSS? In view of the above, the propaganda of tyranny and subversion of the rule of law, being propagated against this government by the wailing dundees, is a deliberate attempt to gag the present government from performing her constitutional duties. It is also a way of meeting up with their ever unendind wailing demand since the disgrace of an incumbent president loosing to the opposition.[/b] Are u a Dundee?
