How can a man with such solemn responsibility be so corrupt and you are here talking balderdash?

Justice Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen was suspended based on Court Order

DeRuggedProf:
I am only disappointed in the REDEEMED PASTOR who should have since resigned.

I am leaving REDEEMED because of oSINbajo.

The CCT or the Supreme Court itself cannot give an order suspending or removing a judge. It has no such powers. The constitution is CLEAR on how a judge can be removed or suspended even when they CONTRAVENE code of conduct: through recommendation of the NJC or 2/3 majority of Senate.

Moreover, this same CCT has bee ordered to stay proceedings by a superior court- the Court of Appeal.

Good try.

Well, the CJN happens to be the Chairman NJC, and this is the loophole that made it legally possible for his suspension.

Problem - CORRUPTION

What does cut the head of the snake mean?

A very comparable idiom is "to cut the head off the snake" It means to stop a larger problem by aiming at the source - often the leader, or a major culprit. The implication is that the rest of the problem will naturally die off without that source.

Three arms of Govt - Executive, Judiciary and the Legislature.

- Senate President - Leader of the Legislative Arm of Govt - Saraki
- CJN, Leader of the Judiciary - Onnoghen
- Executive . President Buhari

And Trust Buhari, he will complete Jonathan’s projects , whether it is the Abuja mono- rail , the Abuja - Kaduna rail, the Nnamdi Azikiwe Musoleum, the second Niger Bridge or even the abandoned PDP secretariat building site.

Did you hear yourself...our own person indeed. Is he the one feeding you and your family?

He is corrupt and was removed. Period!

What do you mean by 'Buhari is wasting his time'?.........Onnoghen is gone.

CJN position is based on seniority so your talk of '16 years' bla bla makes no sense at all.

Are you a professor of law? Sagay and Osinbajo are.

the same cct that has a court of appeal ruling by that states it cannot try any judicial officer not even the CJN without recourse to the NJC.see

INTRODUCTION:
This appeal borders on Criminal Prosecution of a serving Judicial Officer.
FACTS:
This is an appeal against the decision of the High Court of Lagos State; coram AKINTOYE, J., delivered on 23rd June, 2017, against the Appellant's Notice of Preliminary Objection dated and filed on the 13th June, 2017 challenging the jurisdiction of the Court to entertain and determine the instant information against the Appellant.
The Appellant was by a 14 Count information dated 8th June, 2017 charged for offences ranging from unlawful enrichment by a public officer to making false information contrary to Section 82(a) of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, No. 11, 2011 and Section 39(2) (a) of the EFCC (Establishment) Act, 2004. The Appellant upon being served with the information filed a Notice of Preliminary Objection challenging the jurisdiction of the trial Court to hear the case against him mainly on the ground that conditions precedent to the filing of the information had not been fulfilled. In its Ruling delivered on the 23rd June, 2017, the trial Court dismissed the preliminary objection.
Miffed with said Ruling, the Appellant appealed to the Court of Appeal.
ISSUES:
Appellant distilled two issues viz:
"1. Whether the lower Court can validly exercise criminal jurisdiction over a sitting judicial officer (the Appellant) whilst still occupying such office without first satisfying the condition precedent of subjecting such judicial officer to the disciplinary jurisdiction of the National Judicial Council as provided for in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended).
2. Whether in view of the constitutionally guaranteed doctrine of independence of the Judiciary, the lower Court is right in reaching the conclusion that the executive arm of government (acting through the  EFCC or any other authority) can directly prosecute a sitting judicial officer without first following due process as provided for in the Constitution by first referring the matter by way of petition to the National Judicial Council." 
Respondent formulated a lone issue viz:
"Whether in view of the facts and circumstances of this case, it can be said that the learned trial judge lack the requisite jurisdiction to hear and determine the information dated and filed on the 8th day of June, 2017."
DECISION/HELD:
In a unanimous decision, the appeal was allowed. The Ruling of the Lagos State High Court delivered on 23rd June 2017, was set aside. The preliminary objection filed on 13th June, 2017 by the Appellant was upheld and Charge No.LD/4769C/2017 was struck out.   Back

I think you missed this clause:

18. Exemption

(1) The President may by order exempt any cadre of public officers from the provisions of this Act if it appears to him that their position in the public service is below the rank which it considers appropriate for the application of those provisions.

(2) The President may by order confer on the Bureau such additional powers as may appear to it to be necessary to enable it to discharge more effectively the functions conferred upon it under this Act.


*Keyword* President can confer additional powers on the CCT by order (spoken or executive) and President can by order grant exemption. So Presidential powers are in play here with the CCT. The President of Nigeria is constitutionally greater than NJC. So if he has so determined that the CCT should continue trial by the recommendation of the CCT, then so be it. All this social media noise won't save the CJN at this time, in fact it's causing him more damage than good. Because if the matter had not been brought to social media, it could have been easily swept under the carpet, but now the CJN will have to face the music. He himself knows it, that's why he has been quiet. They have used social media to put the man in more trouble. SMH!

you are a criminal you this man

CCT can't even sack a high court judge let alone CJN.


Buhari knows he will lose the election so he wants to destroy the country first.
