The National Judicial Council is chaired by the Chief Justice. He cannot be a judge in his own case.

Furthermore, the NJC process is merely administrative, and therefore cannot supersede the criminal process.

So says the professor of law.

but the supreme court has not ruled on the matter, therefore the appeal court ruling stands...

they should have sent the petition to the NJC.

The NJC is chaired by the CJN, and he cannot be (or be perceived) to be a judge in his own case.

Furthermore, while you are correct about the inexplicable ruling of the Court of Appeal being stare decisis for lower courts (but not for other divisions of the Court of Appeal), one would expect that decision (which is presently being appealed) to be overturned on appeal (albeit the Supreme Court is also headed by the now self-interested CJN) because the Constitution clearly conveys the prosecutorial authority of the federal government solely on the Attorney-General and no one else. In effect, any recommendation for the federal government to prosecute (or not prosecute) any person rests solely with the AG, and therefore that Court of Appeal’s ruling is inconsistent with the Constitution (and thus in violation thereof) as it effectively usurps the prosecutorial authority of the AG under the Constitution.

DeOTR:
Where is tenet of innocence until proven guilty if you've pronounced him guilty without trial?

The right thing should done. That's why we have a guide, the constitution. We cannot begin to operate outside the permit of the written law of the land simply because we feel it's right.
If the judicial council tries him and says he has no case to answer, that's the final.
After all, the President was heard defending a man caught on tape taking bribe. If dogs don't eat dogs in the executive, they should not term it as corruption if the same thing is done in other arms of government.

If Buhari wants things to work the way it is in sane countries he should champion the restructuring of the country, but unfortunately, he himself doesn't believe in it.
We won't allow the executive to pocket the judiciary under the pretense of fighting corruption. It won't happen.

who is the head of the NJC? Is it not the same CJN? He don't need to be a judge in his case. These events points out the very need to re-examine the constitution for possible alterations. I don't see why this is causing too much noise. If the FG is not in line with the procedure it is taking, it now fall on the CCT to decline jurisdiction on this issue stating the appropriate reason , simple. The CCT is not a branch of the executive but a court under the judiciary.

well said. however, the executive should thread with caution while prosecuting the CJN because of the political undertone of wanting to replace a minority Christian southerner with a Muslim northerner ahead of the 2019 election. also bearing in mind that the same attorney general who has the sole right to prosecute has looked the other way in cases involving appointees of the executive arm or government. cases involving a former SGF and a former finance minister and many others readily come to mind.

AmazingELixir:
You still don't get it...my apologies for underestimating the severity of situation.

If you ain't this daft you would have come to the understanding that the issue at stake here is the office of the CJN (the head of the judicial arm of government) and not the infraction committed.

What the learned lawyer and other senior lawyers across the country have established and in line with the provision of the constitution which establishes the separation of power within the arms of government, the CJN can only be tried in any court after the recommendation of the NJC and a two-thirds assent of the national assembly to removal him from office.

CCB has no authority to try the CJN except with the recommendation of the NJC and the executive has no such powers either to remove him except with the NA two-thirds vote.

I don't expect you to understand this because you're B-Zoned or simply put a Zombie

Nice tutorial for him.Hope his brain can assimilate that

My brother if the destruction is the kind that ensure the pump price of petrol is less than #100, bag of brown beans in benin is #12k compared to #42k that it is now, bag of rice is #6k compared to #16k (whey people even dey talk say E don come down to #16k. Chai! 16k na down abi na up? ), dollar is #205 black market compared to #365 now black market, Motor from Mile 2 park to benin is #1,850 compared to #2,950, phone in callers on TV shows/stations can criticise Mr President without the station attracting #500,000 to #10,000,000 fine from bastard NBC under totori from lai mohammed the information minister.

Where we don't have to be afraid that Mr President is a tribalistic fellow and not just President of the 95% who voted him in, where people are not afraid to leave jos town or maiduguri town after 6.30pm, Chai!

Where armed forces personnel who died protecting their country from ISIS/ISWAP are not denied by their government. They will send you to fight ISWAP, when you pass on in active combat, today's government will tell your family that it was Okada accident that killed you and refuse to Honour your sacrifice with a ceremonial burial party or military aguilette and will give your family 48hrs to vacate the barracks.

A government thatwill not signs laws increasing the number of years non-NDA graduates will be promoted but refuse to pay the amount they ought to receive and the military can't protest like civil servants.

That will not blackmail judges and arrest arbitrarily and trigger media trials knowing the code of conduct for senior judicial officials does not permit them to speak freely to the press without running to NJC for permission which they rarely give .......My brother may that kind of destruction follow me, my life and my destiny.

But if you are among the people that claim that 3years of Buhari is far a better blessing than the last few years under PDP (be it Obasanjo, Yar adua or Jonathan), then may the good Lord Run your life and destiny the way Buhari has run this country in the last 3 and the half years...... angry

No need for the crude and uncouth personal attacks and insults, just because of a difference of opinion.

Nonetheless, in law, there are criminal, civil and administrative processes. Administrative processes (such as hearings before the Medical and Dental Council, the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee, the Securities and Exchange Commission, etc) do not rise to the level of criminal (or even civil) processes. The latter are govern by statutory and/or common law, while the former is merely governed by administrative guidelines, rules and regulations. Accordingly, where there is any inconsistency, actual laws are granted supremacy (hence “supersede”). Meanwhile, no need to thank me for the free education and enlightenment ( grin

Totally agree.

Technical ‘justice’ is undermined where perceived to lack moral (or popular) authority.
