Judges’ Arrest “deeply Regrettable, Distressing” - Chief Justice Of Nigeria by tnewsr(op): 2:12pm On Oct 10, 2016

The head of Nigeria’s judiciary, Mahmud Mohammed, has described the mode of arrest of seven judges as “deeply regrettable.”

The judges were arrested between Friday night and Saturday morning.

Speaking at a valedictory session for a Justice Suleiman Galadima of the Supreme Court in Abuja , Mr. Mohammed urged Nigerians to pray for the country.

“It is indeed very saddening and deeply regrettable, the distressing and unfortunate incident which occurred on Friday 7 October and Saturday 8 October, 2016,” he said.

The Chief Justice said an emergency meeting of the National Judicial Council, “which will take place tomorrow, will comprehensively look into the matter.”

“Furthermore, I must express my sincere appreciation to the executive of the Nigerian Bar Association ably led by the President, Abubakar Mahmoud and indeed all members of the legal profession for their prompt action and continued support,” he said.

The arrested judges by the SSS include John Okoro and Sylvester Nguta of the Supreme Court, Namdi Dimgba and Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court, Abuja; Kabiru Auta, from Kano; Muazu Pindiga in Gombe, and a former Chief Judge of Enugu State, Innocent Umezulike.

An SSS official had told PREMIUM TIMES that the agency could commence the prosecution of the judges from today.

See arrogance,thanking NBA who is in cohort with the criminal judges. If he's not one of them, these man should be apologizing to Nigerians who have borne years of corruption in the Judiciary.
Nigerians will recover their country from your brothers ,NJC or no NJC. This is a serious indictment on you, Mr CJN and as a matter of fact, you lack what it takes to lead the NJC . These obscene culture of paying judges retired or suspended for committing crimes will be resisted vehemently. Corrupt judges must be jailed you can keep your paddy paddy NJC. Shiorr.

The issue of corrupt judges is not a New thing.
Many have been deprived of justice by the actions of these well protected judges until now.

The thing is ,NJC as a body has failed to cleanse the judiciary of corruption. they are shielding their colleagues.

For how long should that continue because of due process.

We are being raped because of the so called due process.

The police arrested some suspected armed robbers that have been disturbing my area since last week while they were busy drinking at a local bar in the midnight .

Should the police have waited till morning before they were arrested.?

Even the Chief Justice Of Nigeria has condemned the action but a set of people will keep praising Buhari's undemocratic attitude until when it turns against them.

When Buhari's undemocratic attitude turns against them, you will see this set of traitors shouting Southern Unity.
