The Muslim Rights Concern group has announced its support for the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Nkanu Onnoghen.

President Muhammadu Buhari suspended Justice Walter Onnoghen as the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) earlier today and swore in Justice Muhammed Tanko as the Acting CJN. This followed an exparte motion granted by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) on Wednesday 23rd January, 2019.

Reacting barely two hours after the suspension of the former CJN, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) described the suspension as timely and necessary in order to safeguard democracy. MURIC’s reaction was contained in a terse statement issued and signed by the director of the human rights organization, Professor Ishaq Akintola, on Friday 25th January, 2019.

According to MURIC, “The former CJN has lost the confidence of Nigerians. He has seriously tarnished the image of the judiciary. No serious government can retain such a character at the helm of its judicial system. Those who sit on the bench must choose between being gold merchants or agents of the bureau de change and being lords temporal.

“It is too dangerous to approach a general election with a character like the former CJN breathing down the neck of Nigerian judges. A man who is in love with bales of foreign currencies and wads of naira cannot have the courage to look away if tempted again. Onnoghen can only benefit corrupt candidates, opposition parties who have benefited and are still benefiting most from corruption as well as unscrupulous litigants who are hoping to get crooked court decisions.

“We therefore give his suspension full backing and unreserved support. Mr. President has acted in the interest of Nigeria and to preserve the good name of the judiciary. Whoever thinks otherwise should have a good explanation of where those strange lodgements into Onnoghen’s accounts came from. The fate of the former CJN should serve as a lesson for Nigerian judges. The judiciary must be fully integrated into the war against corruption if this country is going to be rid of corruption”."

ogun kee una


all of una

Apc will ruin Nigeria

These enemies of Nigerian will be blown away soonest. Abacha did worse.

The second most renowned terrorist organization didn't disappoint as usual. Always supporting their Leader in all tyrannical display in the discharge of his office.

in love with bales of dollars while leaving imbecilic Papa to pursue to Kobo upadan while foolishly defending him.

I support it also


Onnoghen did nothing to save Democracy under buhari administration especially when buhari was flouting court order. Let him suffer the same fate as Dansuki and Nnamdi Kanu.

It is a surety that thunder mixed with hottest lava from honolulu will eventually fire this rabid terroristic dog called Ishaq Akintola...

This is the same idiot masquerading as GOTV here on Nairaland to propagate their satanic taqiyya as they were taught by the brute rapist of a prophet..

Get ready to share the same room with the sahelian beast called buhari at guatanamo bay since you so much love him...


Imagine someone's father fa......Awon oloriburuku masa anfani dede...

If MUMURIC does not support this coup by buhari/APC who will??..afterall the upstart that was replaced is a sharia judge...

Meanwhile the joke of a lawyer who calls himself a 'Professor' and V.P looks on with his Trader-Moni scam he carries everywhere ..Fake Pastor.

We already know say MURIC na Buhari media support group
if tommorrow Buhari announce say him don ban MURIC, MURIC go come out come say dem support the ban on MURIC

Las las dem go sell dis country give Ghana for mere chicken change....

That is what a terrorist group will say

MURIC?

I would have been surprised if they didn't support illegality.

It’s official: Buhari is worse than Abacha.


Shame on lawyers of south south origin to watch Onnoghen removed for yet another Northern Muslim?

wayray!!!....You are obviously demented...CJN is very much innocent until proven otherwise by a court of law...Law is Law...Constitution is constitution...Only raven terrorist will support this aberration...You had better get more plate to give to your wandering hordes of hopeless offspring......The tap is about to turn off..

Aboki99:
11. In the midst of all these distracting events, the essential question of whether the accused CJN actually has a case to answer has been lost in the squabble over the form and nature of his trial. This should not be so.

It serves him right, some mugus here supporting him don't have 2k in their bank account while he stole of treasury in dollar's. Continue the good work Mr President.

Y

In as much as I also support the removal of Onnoghen, MURIC should shut that fvk up!

Stupid cowards who couldn't face Falz in court.

Next thing now, CAN would talk their own.

G

muric Abi na music mumu sha....They just spew trash anyhow...even tho I support suspension of cjn

;DSo PMB can suspend a sitting governor?


An insult to court of justice.


The cabals are in command

When you serve a useless "god", you will live a useless life.

February 2014, Mike Ozekhime reacts to the suspension of Sanusi by Jonathan.

Mike Ozekhome says Jonathan should have sacked Sanusi long ago.
Mike Ozekhome asserts that the CBN act which allows only two-thirds of the national assembly to remove the CBN governor only talks about removal not suspension.

See how layers and judicial persons are killing us in this country!

Where are we even heading as a country? How can a President who's supposed to uphold the rule of law circumvent it with impunity? Is this right? Everyone (literates and illiterates) is just quiet about the whole thing. Little wonder why Europeans do not take us seriously most of the time. We don't know our right as a citizen. We can't even speak as one as ethnicity and religion has divided us.

why not if North. Buhari has finally gotten us to reason along religious and tribal lines. Hardly does one make a statement, without someone else pointing out that the statement was made from religious or tribal angle.

What do you expect
