cktheluckyman:Clutching at straws I see.  You love defending ignoble acts let's see if you can beat this. The repugnant, putrid smell from the Judiciary would be put to a halt. Defiant judges would be dragged out of their beds until they begin to act in a way and manner that is expected of them by the populace. They would be treated like the common criminals they are and heaven would not fall. Take that to the bank. |

kings09:Sorry to say, you are not educated! Not one bit. You lot screaming start with the executives as well, you all are sick!. Pray, tell me, If Buhari starts with the executives, who would judge the case? Isnt it the same corrupt judges he is trying to fish out? I am even disappointed in Buhari for making this step late. This should have been the first case he would take care of. Corrupt judges are worse than the devil. If we have corrupt judges, how do you want looters to be jailed? How do you want the so called corrupt executives to be jailed, please use your head. |

THE DSS AND THEIR PHANTOM DOLLARS onyebuchi-ememanka A few months ago and in my usual Buhari passion, I was one of those that celebrated those phantom dollar discoveries. The DSS or is it the EFCC had gone to town with the news of the discovery of One Million Dollars in raw cash hidden inside the “soak away” of the former Director of Budget of the Nigeria Airforce in his house at Badagry. I celebrated the “mega discovery”. I was at my grammatical best and as usual, I was joined by the army of my fellow Buhari supporters. Meanwhile, as I celebrated, I never saw any evidence anywhere. No pictures, no statements from the suspects but it didn’t matter. This is Buhari after all, the anti corruption Chutzpah. Even when Eric Uchenna Chimara sent me an inbox asking me to check well before I celebrate, I ignored him. Till today, no one saw any dollar anywhere. I am amazed at what we celebrate. As a Buhari supporter, I understand the psychology of the average Buhari supporter. We are starved of action. Daily we seek something to celebrate about our fabled warlord and so, whatever we hear, we enter town. We don’t think, we don’t ask questions. Don’t blame us. It’s our cross. We will carry it. Even my fellow Buhari supporter and brother, Ugo Aladum in his desperation to confer legitimacy on the actions of the DSS quoted the words of the Presidential Aide on Prosecution, Okoi Obono Obla and added the title (SAN) to his name. In his wild goose chase, he forgot that Obla is not a SAN. Aladum made the Cross River born politician and lawyer a SAN. Just like the DSS took over the job of the NJC in the investigation of judges, Aladum took over the job of the Legal Practitioners Privileges Committee in conferring the title of SAN on people. In his mind, that’s the only way to legitimize what our man and his men did. Once a SAN speaks law, it’s final. Don’t blame him. Pity him. He is my comrade in the Buhari army. That’s our lot. We grope in the dark for something to celebrate. What of the Dieziani billions? Where are they? The billions found inside one phantom vault inside the Akwa Ibom State Government House nko? What of the Dasuki billions? People saw a typed document and went to town. No signatures, no name of any officer and no evidence of where the document emanated from. But it doesn’t matter. Once Angel Buhari is involved, it must be true…somehow. Till date, none of these judges have spoken. No one has heard their voices. Yet we have passed judgment on them. Justice Adeniyi lied. That’s the other story. He said he was not at home but his cell phone signal gave him away. My friends laugh and celebrate. Ask them the source of that story and they will tell you to forget it. These are grown men and women o! This Buhari passion is dangerously infectious. Believe me. On CHANNELS TV, during their 8pm news last night, a transcription of the dialogue between Justice Adeniyi and the DSS when they stormed his house was shown. Anyone who listened will recall that. The man asked them who they were and they said DSS. Open the door. The Judge said…I NEED TO CALL MY LAWYER, and the DSS MAN replied ARE YOU NOT A LAWYER? and the Judge said I AM NOT A LAWYER, I AM A JUDGE OF THE FEDERAL HIGH COURT. This exchange was shown on TV last night. Only the good Lord knows where the story of the man saying he was not at home came from. Be careful what you believe. We are dealing with Judges here. Wait until you hear their own side of the story. Have you seen any pictures of any money seized? Do you think that the DSS will waste time in showing such money if they had it? Judges are not street boys that have no brains. In the judiciary, you will find the most brilliant men God created. They are not saints. There may be cases against them but don’t gloat in a hurry. Wait till you hear both sides of the story. Again, finding money in the house of a judge is no conclusive proof of crime. Judges are not poor people by any standard. They were lawyers before joining the Bench. A good number of them were successful lawyers and had invested. Apart from being well paid, lots of them do other things. They deliver lectures both at home and abroad. They speak at international fora and they get handsome honorarium. They write books and contribute to learned journals. They get paid for these. Since no one is sure of how much was exactly found in their homes, I suggest we wait. The DSS said they found evidence of landed property and in their minds, they are evidence of crime. This is very ridiculous. A Judge is so poor that he can’t own property? Even a Justice of the Supreme Court? Chai! A Supreme Court Justice has been in the judiciary for at 25 years minimum. They are well paid. They have wives who are professionals in their own fields. Some of their wives are successful businesswomen. Most of them have successful children in different professions across the world. This is not the first time I am saying this. When some months ago, the DSS with the support of the action starved social media Army went to town with the news that jewelries worth billions of Naira were found in the bedroom of Dieziani Alison Madueke plus documents showing ownership of houses, and as people danced, I reminded us that Dieziani didn’t join government from the streets. She was and remains the first woman to become an Executive Director at Shell. If you understand the oil industry, you will know that an ED at SHELL should own jewelry and houses. Again, she is the wife of a man who was Military Governor of the old Imo and Anambra states. A man who commanded several key commands of the Nigerian Navy and later became Chief of Naval Staff. Such a woman can never be poor even if she were a full time housewife. Again, she is the daughter of a key traditional ruler in Bayelsa State with huge cash. She didn’t attend any Nigerian University. She studied abroad. The daughter of a poor man cannot do that. My point was finding jewelry in the house of such a woman is no conclusive proof of crime. It will be interesting when this case will come to court, that is, if it will ever come. It will be interesting to see how these men of law will stand in the dock and take pleas before their brother Judges. Buhari and his DSS apparatchik may have won this initial battle but will they win this war? Let’s wait and see. By the early hours of this morning, they had released Justice Ngwuta of the Supreme Court and Justice Pindiga. Don’t celebrate too early. Is it not the same DSS that told us of the discovery of a certain shallow grave somewhere in Isuikwuato with scores of dead bodies of Fulani herdsmen buried there? Till date and months after, no one has seen any grave nor any bodies. 1 Like |

See all these legal mumbo jumbo being used by an ordinary judicial council to forestall a "federal govt" investigation. I have said it once,Nigeria needs a very strong hand because corruption is fighting back. The same legal maradonna that has kept 100% of charged politicians to still be walking freely after many years.Due process my ass!The same process that will make NJC to be writing legal maradonna till eternity. I am starting to appreciate this PMB now. This has never been done in the history of Nigeria. |

I am not against the arrest of the judges but the manner and way it was done is too crude. In addition, we are destroying our image before the international community. The DSS themselves are also corrupt if not among the most corrupt. It is a case of thieves probing thieves. The FG is also corrupt. Where is the 3.4 trillion naira recovered loots? Where are the returned Abacha's loot? Why are we still importing fuel when we are supposed to fix our refineries? Right now, we are buying refined petroleum products from Ghana. Are these not signs of corruption? The Secretary to the FG spent 270 million naira clearing grass in IDP camp. Why has he not been arrested? No arrest has been done to those who diverted 69 trailers of rice meant for the IDP camp. No arrest has been made on the herdsmen that have taken over several communities in Benue state. The corruption fight is one sided. They only arrest those not on their side. This in itself is corruption. What about the $700 million dollars deposited by Amechi in a foreign account? Why is he not been probed? Things are getting worse as the day goes by. They should focus on fixing the economy. They should not use all their energy on fighting corruption. You can't completely rule out corruption. It is inherent in the nature of sinful man. As I am speaking to you, police men still collect bribes on the highway. They still collect huge bails. Nigeria is not a producing country. This is where our major problem is. We should declare a state of emergency in Agriculture and manufacturing sectors. Importation of fuel must stop. Let us speak out and tell the government what they should do. Any government that cannot fix our refineries is corrupt because they are gaining from the current structure. CBN is making selected few rich by selling dollars at official rates. These individuals resell to the black market. This is corruption. A president that has no certificate is corrupt. Inec that screened him is corrupt. So, let's deal with the issue of corruption in a more fair and just way why not losing focus of our real issue - we are not a producing nation. This is our problem. 1 Like |

cktheluckyman:You need to go back to school. Go and read if the whole system of law professional practice or the third arm of government was single-handedly developed by the lawyers who now in Nigeria arrogantly carried the stupid bigman syndrome into the third arm of government. Even in America which we copied our democracy from, the citizens have a stake through the jury system and the American society and democracy is not at the mercy of the shenanigans of the lawyers. Go back to school, baby lawyer, it's the third arm of government because of the plurality of stakeholders not a birthright or meal ticket of one professional group. An accountant or economist will never dubiously equate his professional interest as the interest of an arm of government. It was Nigerians who carelessly abandoned their third arm of government to lawyers, we will fight to retrieve it and it has started. Go ahead and ask those corrupt judges if they have been released. With the way this case is going, some of them will end up committing suicide like their American counterpart caught for fraud. We have hundreds of professional groups none had committed the coup lawyers did in an arm of government. It's our arm of government, it's our judiciary not the Judiciary of the corrupt lawyers. Buhari should take back our judiciary and third arm of government from the lawyers,their NJC and NBA 1 Like |

Fantastically corrupt NJC should be ashamed for not observing elementary rules of official letter writing. It is wrong to address official letters to appointees of government be it Ministers, DGs or whoever, with their names included, since they can be removed from office at anytime and such letters will be unattended to. But it is safe to use the names of elected officials like the President, Governor and members of the National Assembly, in official letters to them as their removal goes through a process which gives enough time to attend to such letters officially. This must have been the point Daura was raising in his reply to NJC!! |

You will soon see the cases of judges the presided over cases won by pdp are delt with while those of Apc is glorified.

kahal29:What further disgrace do you want to be meted out to them that's more than what they received from DSS? Do you know that the DSS action has damaged their careers? How will they be able to preside over a case after this? What if tomorrow after investigation, the judges are declared innocent? Will DSS restore their battered dignity and respect of office? These and many more are the reason why that good conscience people are criticizing the manner of their arrest. Nobody is saying corrupt judges should not be tried, but by doing so, procedural rules should be followed and rule of law observed. Moreover, the NJC (which is a body constitutional established to discipline and sanction judges and others in the legal profession) has an internal mechanism of dealing with this kind of case devoid of media frenzy and public opprobrium as was witnessed with the DSS arrest. The actions of DSS has damaged the confidence in the bench and this is not good for the smooth running of govt. Only time will tell! |

The corrupt judges must be probed and prosecuted and those that are convicted among them should be punished by imprisonment, fines and suspension. Those who are judging others should be judged more strictly if they are breaking the laws they pretend to be enforcing. Looters are looters and thieves are thieves whether they are judges or lawyers or lawmakers or president and so on and should also be treated as criminals and even more wicked criminals. Do we as a country not know these things? Should anyone in Nigeria be protecting any corrupt persons or people?
