arresa:The funny thing about this your judicial "sanitisation" is that the case will still be decided by the judiciary. After the gestapo action by the DSS they will still come to court. There is corruption across the three levels of governance. Buhari's chief of staff has been clearing grass for over N270M,te mindless rigging of the edo election etc The executive is also guilty of influencing judges.It has been using judges like the shameless Okon Abang to destabilize the PDP |

I am firmly against corruption but do not support the 'show of force' against the judges. As a matter of fact, I don't think law enforcement agencies should ever use force against anyone except the suspect resists arrest. That being said, I find it hard to understand why the DSS adopt the commando style arrest in the middle of the night when they could have extended an invitation to these judges like they do to the politicians. Also, it is not a crime to keep money at home, it is only a crime if the money is the product of an illegal transaction. That being said, I still support the fight against corruption but only within the dictates of the law. |

subnormal:PLS WHAT SHOW OF FORCE ARE YOU REFERRING TO? WHY DID THE JUDGES NOT OPEN THE DOORS IN PEACE WHEN ASKED TO DO SO? IF THEY HAD OPENED THE DOOR WILL THE DSS HAVE ANY NEED TO FORCE THE DOOR OPEN? HOW CAN A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE BE OBSTRUCTING LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS? SHAME ON OUR COUNTRY. ALL THESE HULABALOO ABOUT MANNER OF ARREST WOULD HAVE BEEN UNNECESSARY IF THEY HAD SIMPLY OPENED THE DOOR AND COOPERATED |

afla:These guys were sleeping when a lot of guys with guns showed up at their doors. What would you do if you are in their shoes? We all know the antecedents of our security agencies, the judges' hesitation may be linked to concerns about the safety of their family should our untrained men with guns get in. I am not trying to defend their actions but I would have made calls to their superiors to verify they are truly from the DSS before opening my door |

subnormal:Stop deceiving yourself, you love corruption because your rant made no sense. Law enforcements areasting criminal suspects is stamdaed everywhere on the surface of the earth so why should it be different in Nigeria.? In the USA where you copy copy and borrowed democracy from, the FBI corruption unit arrest and prosecute corrupt judges everyday. |

OneManLegion:If you had any sense left in that thick skull, you would have understood that I'm of the opinion that these people should be tried properly in the court of law, and not on the media. The last time I checked, the law says that an accused is assumed innocent until proven otherwise. Of course you wouldn't understand all these. You're a slowpoke after all. |

arresa:I clearly stated that I support the fight against corruption but not the harassment of suspects. You can make arrests without intimidating the suspects and that extends to any suspect, accused of any crime, not just the judges. Have you ever been harassed by our law enforcement officials? P.S. I do not support corruption or engage in it, I worked for everything I own and live within my means. Pls desist from making unfounded accusations |

subnormal:There is a clear difference between arrest and embarrassment. The judges were arrested and the word harass is your own ignorant terminology for what happened unless you have detailed stories of harassment that's yet to be reported anywhere. I know your type, you love corruption so much that you come up with your own silly stories and excuses and spin to justify your corrupt nature and support for corruption. |

arresa:So what do you term showing up at ungodly hours with guns and kicking down the doors of persons who in the eyes of the law are innocent until proven guilty. The correct procedure is investigate, arrest and charge to court at the earliest opportunity. The judges are yet to be arraigned in court and we have seen this before haven't we? This anti-corruption war has been on for more than a year and we are yet to see a single conviction, don't you think it's time to take a more cerebral approach? The 'arrest and shame in the press' approach is clearly not yielding any result. Mr aresa, stop accusing me of loving corruption when you have no proof to justify such claims. |

BASIC GUIDE TO ARGUING EITHER IN FAVOUR OR AGAINST THE RECENT ARRESTS OF SOME JUDICIAL OFFICERS BY THE DSS. Before you argue either in favour of the recent arrests of some judicial officers by the DSS, it is important that most of you know the following facts. They will guide you to argue intelligently and intelligibly. This is my part of contribution to the change agenda. 1. No judicial officer has immunity against, arrest, search, investigation and/or prosecution in respect of an allegation of crime. 2. The National Judicial Commission (NJC) is responsible for the appointment, discipline/punishment of judicial officers only in respect of breach of judicial ethics, and not crime. 3. Even where a judicial officer has been sanctioned by the NJC for any misconduct, the state still reserves the right to prosecute the erring officer if his misconduct amounts to a crime. 4. The Administration of Criminal Justice Act (2015) is the procedural law that guides the activities of all federal investigating and prosecutorial agencies like the police, EFCC, ICPC, DSSS,etc., as well as the Federal High Court, High Court of the FCT, National Industrial Court, Code of Conduct Tribunal, etc. 5. Any action taken by any prosecutorial agency either during investigation or prosecution must be in line with the ACJA 4. Under the ACJA, there is no time limit or time frame when a person can be arrested. There is no day that a person cannot be arrested. 5. Sections 12 (2) & 13 ACJA give a law officer the power to break into and out of any house for the purpose of arresting a suspect who fails to let the arresting officer in. 6. Section 43 (1) ACJA states: "A warrant of arrest may be executed on any day, including a Sunday or public holiday." 7. The person arresting may not necessarily be the person to prosecute. A private person may arrest a suspect and hand him over to a prosecuting authority(Section 23 ACJA). 8. A person may be arrested notwithstanding that the person arresting him is not in possession of an arrest warrant on demand, but can show the warrant as soon as practicable. Section 44 ACJA. 9. "A warrant of arrest issued by a Federal High Court sitting anywhere may be executed in any part of Nigeria." Section 47 (1) ACJA. 10. A search warrant can be executed by anyone to whom it is directed (Section 147 ACJA). 11. "A search warrant may be issued and executed at any time on any day, including a Sunday or public holiday."(Section 148). 12. Apart from the President, vice president, Governor and a Deputy Governor, no other person has immunity from arrest and/or prosecution. 9/10/16 Bro Chuks Ubani |

bettercreature:It is not the duty of the JCN to prosecute. In a sane society, the DSS or whatever would have presented the evidence to the JCN. They will investigate the allegations and recommend the removal of the judges. After their removal from office, the DSS or whoever can then prosecute for the criminal aspects of their actions. Buhari will leave and the judiciary will still be there. If the above procedure was adopted, the institution will not stigmatized while yet punishing the culprits. The judiciary stood against the tyranny of the military, if we allow them to destroy it, we are in trouble. |

Everyone including the CJN, NBA are not defending corrupt judges. All they are saying is fight corruption & other societal vices in line with the dictates of the Nigerian constitution. |
