PaChukwudi44:
What makes him corrupt? Because he refused to do APC's bidding?

But he did his pockets bidding by lining it with large sums of undeclared monies and undeclared assets which he said HE FORGOT to declare.

I want to ask you a question since you enjoy defending an error.

IN LAW, IS IGNORANCE AN EXCUSE?

That Pa whoever he is, is just hopeless

This Buhari regime is useless.The thing is that all this mumu blackmail will never make him resign.

How can a government agency go through someone's financial history and goes ahead to leak it to the press without carrying out any investigations!!!?

It is not a crime to deposit money in bank.It is not a crime to invest your money.It is not a crime to legitimately acquire FG's property.

This mimu.blackmails will not work.

Justice Onnogen will remain the CJN whether the APC likes it or not

So the fact that a Judge has funds that cannot be explained in his accounts doesn't worry you. Funds that mean at some point he must have perverted justice one way or another. And mind you, someone of his Calibre would have presided over cases that would have indirect effects on you and I. But all you're worried about is why they are looking into his accounts. It's such a pity.

CJN controlling millions of dollars
Politicians dey pay sha.

2015 elections in Rivers, AkwaIbom and Abia annulled by the Election petition tribunal and Court of Appeal, but judged to be free and fair by the Supreme Court of Corruption.
Wike don pay.

Na why Wike and South South governors dey defend Onnoghen as if he's a member of PDP.

PDP has corrupted the entire arms of govt in Nigeria. From National Assembly to Civil service to Judiciary.
When Justice Ayo Salami exposed their rigging in 2007 and caused PDP to lose Edo, Ekiti, Ondo and Osun states, they forced him out of office and amended the law to force guber polls petition to reach supreme court.

Almost everything wrong with Nigeria today is PDP, including the corrupted citizens that come out to defend corruption.

Sorry sir, PDP is not only the corrupt party in Nigeria, APC is still doing same, they are all the same, let's take Lagos for example, how do one explain the level of corruption going on there?

tesppidd:
Sometimes media trial is very welcomed especially in a country like Nigeria where defenders of corruption like you abound.

If these evidences are genuine then I support the media trial 100 percent.

What I do not support is media trial with poor court trial.

What is needed is presenting a strong case in the courts as well.

A whole lot of common Nigerians get media trails and judgements in the streets. They get beaten and lynched.


It's so pathetic for people like Chukwudi who call Amaechi and Tinubu corrupt all day and night (without trial) and then are now complaining of media trials.

You wanted to sound intelligent but you revealed to us that you have a dumb skull just like terms, you be Olodo rapata!

Anywhere you have too much media trial, you'll defintely have a poor court trial as you'll help the accused and his defense block all loopholes and win the case. Secondly no sound judge wants to read opinions that may be bias their minds from newspapers relating to a case they are handling. That's why sane people do not comment subjudicially on cases that are already in court.

I know that these facts may be too heavy for your 2KB zombierudeen skull to process but I'll hope against hope that you understand at least 1% of this truism.

forward a letter to the NJC and stop this nonsense, he can only explain to the NJC, that is the law, what u are doing is like taking a soldier to court, it wont work

obembet:
Even though I don't like buhari leadership style, but Judiciary cause Nigeria problem. If u still #1000, this people will give u 20yrs in jail but steal #2bilion, give them #500m, they will set u dress and ask u to pay a fine of #10000. If we have good judiciary, obanikori, omishore, fayose, akpabio, amechi, ibb, aregbe, tinubu, obj etc are suppose to spend the life in prison.

You need to work on your grammar and tenses, it is steal and not still.

The question is why didn't he declare the funds if they are not questionable . Its not a crime to deposit money in bank even if the money is ill gotten right?Go and check the functions of NFIU.

PaChukwudi44:
So every legal practitioner should be as miserable as this failed lawyer who couldn't even make $10k in 50 years?

That is how ignorant you are. Ranting over the Internet exposing your dumbness. There is a different between a Judge which is equivalent to being a civil servant all your life to a Lawyer who is into private practice and hence can comfortably make billions as a private business man. Judges have codes of conduct guiding them on involvement in private practice. Stop being a fool, stop supporting animals turning our country into a mess. Maybe because u are being paid a stipend to be a nuisance unto yourself.

So he was also supposed to declare his account history? Its like you didn't understand the report.The balance in the accounts were declared in 2016.There are just blabbing about his accounts history

buchilino:
ALL THESE MEDIA TRIALS MUST STOP. IF D MAN IS CORRUPT AS DEY(APC) CLAIMS, Y NOT PUT HIM ON TRIAL IN A COURT INSTEAD.

Isn't that what the 35 SANs are trying to prevent? To put him on trial?

Anything hidden to man is not hidden to God and we shall all account for our deeds before Him.

Pls can we see buhari's and his cabinets acct statement right from when they assumed office in 2015?

As dumb as you are you didn't km now Onnoggen was in private practice for over 10 years?

God bless you. Please explain to them, they don't even realize they are defending their own tormentors.

The statement say's some investigators MAY HAVE FOUND SOME CASH,not that they have FOUND SOME CASH,to me there some certain post people should not comment on

Stop spewing nonsense. How can Tinubu or others intervene when Tinubu was alleged to be the chief architect of her trouble in order to fight Amosun?

Interesting times are here.
A civil servant, who has no other business.
Has not touched his salary for years.
He has forgotten $3m in account.
Bought 55 houses.
See, if CJN does not go quietly, he will pull the roof down on our justice system.
The Body of Benchers, the NBA and COBAN, should plead with him to have mercy on them.
AGF Malami is bent on opening books.
What we see from here is not good for the sight.
Believe us, those black coats and suits are about to go darker!

A corrupt judge is worse than a madman with a knife running amok in the marketplace."

God bless you for this great words.
It's a shame to see some so called youths supporting criminals.

CJN, LAWYERS AND US
A Chief Justice That Has Always Lived Above His Means And Now, Nemesis By Annie Orji The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen is facing the battle of his political carreer. He was one of the judges indicted for corruption and recommended for dismissal by the the Justice Kayode Eso Panel set up by the Sani Abacha military regime to probe incessant allegations of judicial corruption in 1994. Justice Onnoghen was then a judge in the Cross River State high court where he was accused of selling justice to the highest bidder. Luckily for Justice Onnoghen he had been promoted to the Court of Appeal when the implementation of the recommendation of the Eso Panel was carried out against only judges of high courts across the country. As the leopard never changes its colour Justice Onnoghen has continued with corrupt practices. The judge has not been able to account for the millions of Naira, Pounds Sterling, Dollars and Euros in his bank accounts. The money is so much for a serving judge that Justice Onnoghen did not declare some of his bank accounts as required by law. Hence, the Chief Justice was charged with failure to false declaration and failure to declare his assets containing hundreds of over $3 million of dollars before the Code of Conduct Tribunal last week. It has also been alleged that for 18 months the Chief Justice did not withdraw from his salary account, suggesting that he was spending bribe money. Although the petition was received by the Code of Conduct from an ex aide of President Buhari on January 9, 2019. A team of officials from the Code of Conduct Bureau visited the Chief Justice on January 10. When confronted with the fact that he did not declare his assets as stipulated as stipulated by the Constitution the Chief Justice said that he "forgot" to have done so. He therefore pleaded for the "understanding and cooperation" of the Code of Conduct Bureau officials. The official promised to cooperate but asked the Chief Justice to write a statement under caution. He did so in his own handwriting where he admitted that he "forgot" to declare his assets. Based on the admission by the Chief Justice that he did not declare his assets the Bureau quickly prepared a charge and filed it before the Code of Conduct Tribunal on January 11. The Tribunal fixed the case for the arraignment of the Chief Justice for January 15. To avoid the disgrace of being arraigned at the Tribunal the Chief Justice was advised to stay away from the proceedings of the Tribunal which he did. In a counter move, the legal team of the Chief Justice informed the Tribunal that their client had not been served with the charge sheet. The case was adjourned to January 22 for hearing after which proper service would have been effected on the Chief Justice. Meanwhile, a case filed on Monday, January 15 at the federal high court to stop the trial of the Chief Justice through two NGOs were assigned to a judge, Justice N. E. Maha, a newly appointed judge in the court. We have confirmed that Justice Maha is very close to the Chief Justice as a former staff in the office of the Legal Practioners Privileges Committee located in the Supreme Court complex in Abuja. The Committee is headed by the Chief Justice. Within minutes of receiving the file of the new suit it was heard by Justice Maha who quickly granted a motion ex parte in the case. The judge restrained the Code of Conduct Tribunal from proceeding to hear the charge against the Chief Justice until the hearing of the motion on notice. Not sure that the order of Justice Maha was sufficient to shield him from prosecution before the Code of Conduct Tribunal the Chief Justice planned another strategy. He held a meeting with Justice Babatunde Adejumo, the President of the National Industrial Court whose wife, Justice Abimbola Adejumo had delivered the judgment in the case of Nganjiwa v Federal Republic of Nigeria which ruled that all corruption cases involving judges should be reported to the National Judicial Council which is headed by the Chief Justice. The judgment was delivered to prevent the arrest and prosecution of judges as was witnessed in 2016 when about 10 judges were arrested and charged to court for corruption. At the end of the meeting which held in Abuja last Sunday the embattled Chief Justice asked Justice Adejumo to get an order to prevent his arrest by the police, efcc or icpc. A case was filed the following day at the National Industrial Court . It was hurriedly assigned to Justice Sanusi Kano by Justice Adejumo. The case was heard by Justice who granted an order restraining the Police from arresting the Chief Justice pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice. The judge also stopped the trial of the Chief Justice by the Code of Conduct Tribunal. Lawyers and judges are asking if the Chief Justice has become an employee to have his case decided at the National Industrial Court established to hear only trade union and labour matters. In a desperate move to save Chief Justice Walter Onnoghen from prosecution and compulsory retirement the Body of SenIor Advocates of Nigeria (BOSAN) had called an emergency meeting of Senior Advocates of Nigeria to hold at the Lagos campus of the Nigerian Law School at 11 am on Saturday, 19th day of January 2019. But the communique of the meeting was prepared in advance and surreptitiously passed to the secretariat of the body for adoption at the meeting. The meeting was poorly attended by senior advocates. But the few members of the body who attended the meeting kicked against the move to use the BOSAN to condemn the trial of the Chief Justice whose conduct was criticised at the meeting by many senior advocates. It was the view of the majority of those who attended the meeting that while the procedure adopted by the Executive in charging the Chief Justice before the Code of Conduct Tribunal is procedurally wrong they wondered when forgetfulness became a defence to a criminal offence in Nigeria. The suggestion that the N1.4 billion money laundering charge filed against the NBA president, Mr. Paul Usoro SAN by the efcc be tabled for discussion was unanimously rejected by members of BOSAN. It was a very somber meeting as members expressed concern over the damage being done to the reputation of the legal profession by senior judges and lawyers. In order not to be accused of covering the Chief Justice who cannot explain the sources of the local and foreign currencies in his declared and undeclared bank accounts the BOSAN dropped the prepared communique and issued another one which tactically called for caution by all the parties concerned. The communique was signed by Professor Ben Nwabueze SAN and Seyi Sowemimo SAN, the Chairman and Secretary respectively of BOSAN. Even though the federal government has denied the reported plan to arrest the Chief Justice, the National Financial Intelligence Unit has frozen his accounts under the Presidential Executive Order No 6 of 2018. An application has already been filed in court to have the Chief Justice removed from office since he has ignored the call of the federal government to call it quits.[/quote]

IN LAW, IS IGNORANCE AN EXCUSE?

You are the one ignorant of the law.Go and read section 3(d) of the CCB act. The CJN did not break any law

PaChukwudi44:
And who said the funds cannot be explained? What poo are you smoking?

Then what's your gripe with the system asking its officers questions? You can go back to the trash you're smoking now.

PaChukwudi44:
You are the one ignorant of the law.Go and read section 3(d) of the CCB act. The CJN did not break any law

So he broke no law by not declaring monies and assets under his possession despite him confessing that he truly did not?

Ol boy quietly get out of here and stop jumping around like a kangaroo in the defence of a man who has owned up to his own ommission

PaChukwudi44:
As dumb as you are you didn't km now Onnoggen was in private practice for over 10 years?

10 years and he was making so much and still rushing for a stipend of public service. Dumb ass

PaChukwudi44:
All this mumu investigators why not conclude your investigations before going to the media.There is nothing wrong with the CJN having investments.In fact judges are supposed to invest so as not to fall to temptation by accepting bribes.

All this media trial is hogwash.If you think you have a smoking gun then take it to the NJC.

I've read some reviews and opinions which seem to express the ideas that the FG want to make this a media trial. The NJC the BAR and many in the senate have decided to engage in protectionism and the first to way to remove the toga of immunity these parties have placed on the CJN is to expose him.

What is clear now is that the CJN is corrupt, he has enriched himself unduly and is has a moral burden on him to either withdraw himself from that position or be totally disgraced and end up in jail 2 years down the line. He is 68 now and must resign at 70years. If Buhari/Osinbajo win the general elections next month he'll have hell to pay before their 4 years is over.

PaChukwudi44:
Sorry Onnoggen is not responsible for your poverty.Everyone cannot be financially dumb like Buhari witg only 50 cows from 1980 to 2015

you are a Fool. Onnoghen is one of people contributing to poverty in Nigeria through their corruption and pervasion of justice

Election money from PDP/Atiku/Saraki/Wike for manipulating election court judgement...Onnoghen must go

wow.... corruption every where.. Probe him please... if found guilty lock him up inside that kirikiri .. Jonathan set should be probed oh, Obj , Atiku , all of them. They should be killed

Guestlander:
Isn't that what the 35 SANs are trying to prevent? To put him on trial?

I SAID COURT NOT CCT. IF D GOVT HAVE COMPILING EVIDENCE AGAINST D CJN, LET HIM HIRE 1000 LAWYERS IT WOULDNT HELP HIM. BUT MY TAKE IN ALL THESE, IS DAT D FG IS PLAYING MEDIA PROPAGANDA.

PaChukwudi44:

The law makes it clear the kind of activities a judicial officer can engage in. He has gone very foul of the law. There is a moral burden on the NJC , NBA and all other civil society bodies who truly want corruption to end in Nigeria.
