Executive intimidation from criminal cases? This is not a case of the Chief justice having an affair with his secretary which the Judicial council may frown upon.

The FG cannot convict you if they cannot prove a case against you, why then is the CJ worried?

AstralBody:
dream on, we know ur type. U support evil. We knew what the demon was trying to do,to remove a southern n put a northern,who is second in command to d CJN. Go n tell Buhari ur master,that d CJN is going nowhere.

MadamExcellency:
This is not even a criminal case. He wasn't charged with fraudulent enrichment of himself from proceed of crime nor taking bribe.

Non declaration of assets and operating foreign accounts though illegal are not a criminal cases.

Guestlander:
If they are not criminal cases which I doubt, then the FG should hands off the case and let the concerned institutions do their job.

Guestlander:
I don't care where he come from, if he committed a crime then he must go to jail.
These people have no business presiding over any prosecution if they are not bound by the same rules.

The CJN is not worried.Due process must be followed.If the petitioner has his facts then he should approach the NJC.

ORIENTATION101:
Nigerian laws re so inconsistent, there is no immunity for chief judge why cant he be tried without NJC input.

Nigerian laws re so inconsistent, there is no immunity for chief judge why cant he be tried without NJC input. will NJC listen to pettions filled against its chairman. So chief judge admitting to perjury should be left off the hook because a useless judiciary body was not notified .federal govt should dig deeper the pdp judge has more skeletons in his cupboard .his bromance with opposition party chieftains is unacceptable. Since he began as chief judge pdp has not lost any case at the supreme despite huge evidences of wrong doing.onnoghen is the last card pdp re holding to win election.

Why don't you explain the due process to us right now? The CJ has been accused of a crime, what should happen next?

eagleeye2:
The foreign accounts are domiciled here in Nigeria(so no offense there) . The problem here is that he omitted it from his assets declaration form.

MadamExcellency:
There is no accusation of perjury. Stop manufacturing allegations.

Failing to update ones assets declaration form is not perjury. It is CCB work to take the form back to him for update before CCB can accuse him of negligence and breach of his duty as a public Officer

MadamExcellency:
From what I understand from CJN statement, he has declared his assets in 2006 prior to opening those accounts and should have gone back to update the Assets declaration form to reflect the later.

And secondly, I deduced that he included those accounts in the latest Assets declaration form before assuming the office of CJN

Correct me if I am wrong

Guestlander:
The National Judicial council shouldn't have the power to investigate criminal cases. If this is about ethics alone, then it is understandable. If the Chief Justice commits murder or rape someone, will the police wait for the Judicial council to investigate and sanction him first?

If this is the law, then it must be discarded A.S.A.P

AstralBody:
So u are saying the CJN has been convicted, without any law to such by d law court? U people reason like an illiterate,just like Buhari. Has Buhari declared his assets? Didn't he promised Nigerians to do that?
CJN is not going anywhere,u n ur demonic party can wail on!
Buhari is a failure, never reenforced it.

PaChukwudi44:
Well they have the powers.Bihari is only making a fool of himself.Such laws were instituted to protect the judiciary from executive intimidation like Buhari is trying to now do.

DerrickzB:
You are a funny zombie.. just read what you wrote!! So you do not know the judiciary is an arm of govt and hence has it's own procedures abi!! Smh.. u lots are like you slave master

eagleeye2:
What should have happened next is petition the NJC, who will investigate the matter and recommend that their member in this case the CJN should vacate the bench. The legislative arm will then look into this if it merits the removal of the CJN, will recommend that the executive (president) removes the CJN from the bench. Only after that can the prosecutor arraign the CJN in court.
This, I agree is a long process but it is the due process to follow.
So, all this brouhaha is uncalled for.

alezzy13:
Isn't it funny, an administration with the largest number of lawyers in our nation's history with up to 3 SANs keeps making a mockery of our judicial process.

Of course the CJN is not without blame. As the nation's no 1 judicial officer shouldn't he know the implication of lying about his assets?

PaChukwudi44:
Are you testing what has already been decided at the appeal court at the CCT? The way it is now only the supreme court can adjudicate on this matter.

pryme:
Before the sting operation on Judges, there were countless petitions against the Judges submitted to the NJC, yet those petitions were ignored by the NJC, hence the DSS took matters into their hands and choir boys started singing,
so are you saying a corrupt judge is free to preside over sensitive matters like the election tribunals till when ever the NJC feels the corrupt judge is due for investigation?
And come to think of it who is the chairman of the NJC,

This is why corruption thrives because democracy is easily manipulated in Nigeria.

Nigeria is not ripe for democracy.

The appeal court has already ruled on the matter.Take the CJN to the CCT and get the case thrown out.The appeal court is far higher than the CCT.
