Nnamdi Kanu sacked 2 lawyers for their incompetence. They could not defend him against the treasonable felony charges and that's why he remain locked up

The same thing we have been saying!!! Accusing someone of owning properties or money is childish since that is in itself not a crime.Linking those properties or monies directly to proceeds from any criminal activities are where the DSS will be able to secure a conviction.

The DSS accused Justice Pindiga of receiving bribe from Gov Wike and using it to build properties without any iota of proof not even an oral one. How dumb can a government agency be?

People can't understand the pressures on these judges. Many litigants are bad loosers and once a matter is not decided in their favour, the begin to write petitions and in most cases on assumptions that the judges are compromised.
The same way we feel when a referee in match takes an action that we felt was wrong is the same way many look at the judges decisions. Some even accused the refree of being bribed by one of the teams.

StepTwo:
some of you few Igbos online make the entire tribe funny and sarcastic, shouldnt there be time for everything?

you've made wailing so irritating at the mention of Buhari's name all the time.

I dare you be intelligent enough to create threads criticising Buhari rather than spew his name all over the net, one cannot find a single thread without Buhari's name in it, even in Romance section you will still find Buhari's name more than Fynestboi and Tosyne2much




Na wetin?

Why can't you address the guy alone instead of bringing his tribe into it? Are you telling me that there are no Ibo's that support PMB or everybody in your own tribe supports PMB?
why can't you guys just shun tribalism? It is people like you who go abroad and shout racism but engage in tribalism which is even worse.

NJC are bunch of Corrupt clowns, shielding corrupt Judges since time immemorial

...... Did you even read the press statement?

The DSS acts first and then think afterwards.

Who ur grammar epp

Where are the misguided internet lawyers who were knocking me the other day for stating out facts, how market? Hope you fools have heard from the NJC lets processes be adhered to, anything short of it, is pure impunity.

Oh, NJC have shown that they are a citadel of corruption.

At the end of the Meeting, Council unanimously agreed to recommend Hon. Justice W. S. N. Onnoghen, CFR, as the most senior, suitable and competent Justice of the Supreme Court to President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, for appointment as the next Chief Justice of Nigeria to succeed Hon. Justice Mahmud Mohammed GCON who retires from office on 10th November, 2016.

This is the meat being fried undercover! And Booooooohari and his Daura SS lost!

IT MUST BE ONNOGHEN! Ghen Ghen!

I can see that Nigerians persist in believing lies fabricated by the DSS/FG against the Judges. It is good that the interpreters of the law a.k.a the Judiciary has made it clear that the DSS acted outside its jurisdiction and lied about having filed complaints or petitions against some of the judges arrested particularly d Supreme Court judges. There is no petition against them!

They also failed to provide evidence to back their claims against Justice Pindiga and still went ahead to raid his house. For what reason? In the event they even succeed in bringing him for trial before any court will it not be the same story and failure to prove allegations? So why the overbearing and unlawful attacks?

All this government through the DSS has succeeded in doing is tell everyone within and outside Nigeria that they are prepared to harass and intimidate the Judiciary that is supposed to be the neutral umpire for any disputes. They have also succeeded in exposing them to possible danger and threats even from litigants and their relatives whose criminal conducts landed them on the punitive side of the law through those judges.

Now it is obvious that there is nothing but a vendetta against the Judiciary from the Executive so even security operatives can no longer be trusted to carry out their duties when assigned to any of the judges. The judiciary has just been desecrated and raped in the most denigrating and clandestine manner and I wish the NJC even demanded an official apology from the Presidency and DSS for their reprehensible and illegal actions.

So your point is that the judiciary is faultless and incorruptible? Are you saying it's wrong to cleanse a judiciary that will gladly send a man to life imprisonment for stealing a goat but will hand out a fine of 750,000 for someone who told pension funds of 700mil.
Or need I remind you of the innocent souls languishing in prisons all over the country because the judges can't be bothered with giving them a fair hearing?
Or the innumerable tribunal cases where they uphold rigged elections and in turn encourage election malpractice
Lest I forget, it was a judge that allowed Ali Mustapha to go scot-free after being formerly sent to the gallows
So, what's the point here?

StepTwo:
that was highly predictable

Ur zombism is powered by the sun!

With all their days of meeting on this issue this is the crap they've come up with?

l was thinking that they might recommend Buhari or DSS boss to the National assembly for impeachment or sack and demand for the release of the ceased money, rather they are pledging their unalloyed support and loyalty to the Grandmaster President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR...... So disappointed

I am more disappointed in your written English. What is ceased money? You can't differentiate between seized and ceased and you are writing an epistle against learned folks? Focus more on your books Oga

it is not the work of the executive to cleanse the judiciary. it is the constitutional work of the NJC and they re doing a good damn job at it...rather...buhari is to uphold the constitution ...that is wat he swore to...meaning he should uphold the constitutional provision to allow NJC deal with judges but he hasnt...cant your brain process that?

word!

You need to be a lawyer or know someone who knows one to understand the level of corruption in the judiciary. Go to igbosere or the FHC Abuja and see how judges are exchanging Ghana must go bags. The NJC has done absolutely nothing! Before now to stem this tide of corruption. This is because these corrupt people have their friends and business partners sitting on the NJC. Extraordinary circumstances demand extraordinary measures. Justice Pindiger who was cleared by the NJC of corruption will now have to explain how he came about the money found in his possession after the DSS raid. Wike's involvement in this scandal has done nothing but convince me that our judges are indeed stinking with corruption.
Nigerians should realise that we are dealing with extremely dangerous, evil and corrupt people who will do anything to maintain the status quo. They have everything to lose in this war against corruption. That is why they will decend to the level wike did last week. Fayose is another thief that will rather bring down the entire Ekiti state than be caught.

No, the judiciary is not faultless or incorruptible that is why the NJC exists as the disciplinary body for the judiciary. Even the Minister of interior and the Human rights bodies are unanimous on the fact that the majority of persons locked up in jails are awaiting trial. In other words, they have not been brought before a court at all. That is solely the fault of the executive through the police.

Judges and lawyers are not excused but their individual unethical conducts is no reason to bring the entire arm of government into disrepute as was done by the DSS. That is a breach of democratic tenets and tells everyone including would-be investors that the judiciary which should dispense justice can be raided and its members arrested at any time because the executive is dissatisfied. It is obviously a development that can be abused and any judge can be arrested and intimidated with trumped up charges levelled against him.

The job of the NJC is to ensure that by the time such a person is sent before the public courts to stand trial, he would be a former judge and not have the stain of his misconduct rubbed off on the entire judiciary.

Understand it clearly that it is not the job or mandate of the executive to 'cleanse' the judiciary. How about it cleanses all the parastatals under its direct supervision from the OSGF that used 270 million to clear grass? Has any judgment of the Supreme Court or unchallenged judgment of the lower courts been reviewed and found to have been manifestly contrary to the letter and spirit of the law which may be a result financial inducement? Good thing d judiciary only interprets law made by the Legislature!

You are clearly supporting corruption, when will the judiciary do its job? In the year 3050? We elected Buhari to fight corruption and we want nothing less. We are looking forward to more of such raids on suspects to gather evidence and prosecute them, when there is no evidence they don't prosecute. That's the only way , you don't fight corruption with kid gloves.

. Justice Pindiger who was cleared by the NJC of corruption will now have to explain how he came about the money found in his possession after

you mean it is a crime for Justice Pindiga to keep his money in his own house? Since that is not a crime,it is now left for the DSS to prove that the money found in his house was proceeds of corruption.

The way the law works is this "It is the responsibility of he who alleges to prove beyond reasonable doubt" Justice Pindiga might have explanations for the monies found in his house but in law the onus is on the DSS to prove he stole the money or received it as bribe.

very funny. so asking that the constitution be upheld and pple tasked with the responsibility allowed to do so is corruption?

did you read the statement at all?
they freaking acted on all petitions and reached conclusions within the ambit of the law...


sooo i can just shoot someone i dont like and say....i suspect he is corrupt...thats also fightin corruption abi?

Failure or whatever your name is, first, you don't get to insult me...i assure you you don't wanna go down that road. Comment like you have a semblance of sanity... Even if you've been repeatedly told you don't.
Secondly, you talk about upholding the constitution, is subverting judgment and commercializing trials upholding of constitution, even by the very custodian of the constitution. No country can move forward if the judiciary is rotten. Democracy would become a joke and the ordinary man on the street would be doomed because his last hope, which is the judiciary has gone to the sewers

How exactly is he supporting corruption? So in your mind fighting corruption is allowing Buhari to use DSS to intimidate judges when the cases do not go his way? sorry for you we are not running a banana republic, the law envisaged that someone as crude a dictator like Buhari will come to power and made provisions to ensure separation of power between the three arms of Government.

If you know you don't like democracy then quickly pack your bags and head to North Korea

i actually want to go that route...try me.

so the judiciary is rotten because the executive and a nairalander says so?

As much as the process that led to the gestapo style invasion of the judges residences could have been avoided, NJC hasn't done much.
Not a single judge has faced prosecution since 2000. Yet Ibori walked freely in Nigeria but got nailed in the UK. That speaks volume of the 'incorruptible judges' in our hallowed chambers. You hear a line like ' the prosecution counsel didn't do enough'

Bureau de change judges going for the highest bidders, subverting judgements. So appalling to hear our next -to-god-judges are enmeshed in corrupt practices. For them, asking for bribe (worth #200M ) isn't a big deal; only needs to be cautioned.

Corruption is simply the 4th arm of government in Nigeria.
Posterity will judge. Continue to shield them NJC

Hahaha ...even the judiciary members themselves don't know which is right or wrong. Funny most of them even drafted the constitution in use.

StepTwo:
i dont know why the fuzz over all this, even some things that are clearly stated in the constitution are boycotted.


the ones that are not in the constitution are enforced in a combatant style.


many of us here do not even know if the DSS action was right or wrong based on constitution because we have the most useless judiciary in The world.


Itse Sagay ------- the arrest is legal

Kanu Agabi -------the arrest is illegal.

Femi Falana -------- I am just confused

Barr. Okechukwu --------the DSS are carrying the duties of the police.

It is audible to the deaf and obvious to the blind that the judiciary in the country has gotten extremely rotten...just like every other sector. But he danger here is that the judiciary is the final arbiter, they wield so much influence...we can't survive and grow with such a judicial system.
Thats why if a rich man assaults you, you can not take him to court, because you know you will lose. If a politician beats up your wife, you can not sue him knowing he would emerge victorious. So, where's the last hope of the common man! When will we start the transformation that we have always talked about?
If the NJC had been up and doing when they should, this issue would not have degenerated to this level.
The mode might have been a tad unconventional but it's longterm benefits outweighs the disadvantages

World over, even in the almighty USA, judges residences are routinely raided. The FBI or Scotland yard doesn't have any regard or respect for any corrupt judge. Why is it in Nigeria where we have a serious corruption epidemic that people are crying for us to respect the "big man" judge or the "judicial institution"
The saddest part of this is that the people who have been victims of this corruption, the Nigerian masses, are joining this stupid chrus of "respect the judiciary". It really saddens nt heart. A judge who is building an estate in Calabar with tax payers money (justice ngwuta) obtained from bribes has no self respect or regard for anyone. Why are you the Nigerian masses respecting such person?
