An emergency meeting of the National Judicial Council (NJC) has commenced in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

The meeting, which is ongoing, is convened as part of the moves to resolve the legal logjam arising from the suspension of Justice Water Onnoghen as the Chief Justice of Nigeria.

Channels Television gathered that neither the embattled Justice Onnoghen nor the acting CJN, Justice Ibrahim Mohammed, is expected to preside over the meeting.

President Muhammadu Buhari had on Friday last week suspended Justice Onnoghen as CJN on the strength of an order by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).

The order also required the President to swear in the next most senior justice of the Supreme Court as CJN, pending the determination of the suit against Justice Onnoghen.

The suspended CJN is facing charges of false assets declaration at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.

The suspension of Justice Onnoghen has triggered criticisms from various quarters, including the international community.

They raised concerns about the implication of the President’s action, especially coming close to the general elections.

Let's just pray the judiciary is not cowed.

Awol1:


Let's just pray the judiciary is not cowed.

I don't think the NJC can be cowed.

Truth is that the NJC will reverse the decision by Buhari but will recommend Onnoghen to step aside pending the investigation. This will also be equal to being suspended.

My opinion though.

That's it...and Tanko will be asked to proceed on compulsory retirement....whomever the next person is should be jogging...
My thoughts!

Why hold any meeting in the face of blatant & brazen corruption?

Our politicians fathers have now institutionalised corruption in Nigeria. Onnoghen's case shouldn't be contested as there's an admission of wrongdoing by the defendant (Onnoghen), therefore he should be facing prosecution with expectation of a custodial sentence.

In the same light, the executive arm has violated rules & flouted laws with regards to due process - arbitrary use of power.

The judiciary is twisted, the country is....

Phew!

Hmmm

Ok

Na dem sabi. One thing stands sure, the Judiciary must be cleansed and rid of corrupt Judges.

Onnoghen.

RIVERS LAWYERS PROTEST IN PORTHARCOURT THEN THIS HAPPENED

Let see how things unfold.

First and foremost the NJC must remember that this meeting is not about whether Onnoghen is corrupt or not but to find out where Buhari got his imaginary powers from to claim to suspend the Head of the Judiciary and where he got another imaginary power from to dare to replace him without any input from the NJC and the National assembly as enshrined in our constitution.

The out come of this meeting must be to uphold the constitutional status quo and to fix another date to hear the trumped up corruption charges against Justice Onnoghen and to decide the punitive measure for the unbecoming behaviour of Justice Tanko.

The NJC HAS THE POWERS TO INVESTIGATE.IT WILL CARRY OUT ITS OWN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONS AND DECIDE WHETHER TO INDICT OR EXONERATE ONNOGGEN

Tanko or Tanker is a goona. No matter wetin dem judge, I dey sure say Buhari dey go Daura

Their resolution will be more relevant than that of NBA.

Shehu sani sumed it up for me

Yinmu.


Even the sittings that house of representatives and assembly has been doing all this year has no impact on this country not to talk of this..

ok, we dey watch in black and white

what happens to the election tribunal judges that the Tanko guy has already sworn in?

FAREWELL IN ADVANCE TO INJUSTICE TANKO

President Buhari is a fraud! In order to carry out the Cabal's preconceived plan to destroy the CJN, Buhari predicated his suspension of the CJN on the directives of the CCT but the CCT never directed the President to suspend the CJN. Even at that, the order is on the face of it highly irregular and violates known and settled principles of law.

fighting corruption with corruption-that is the Nigerian way, criminals fighting other criminals- that is the nigerian way of fighting corruption.(How apt that Danladi Umar who has corruption cases to answer is sitting down in judgment over another man_ God did it that way to expose the hypocrisy, the fraud, the charade that this whole anti-corruption fight is).

if you think Buhari is fighting corruption go and read George Orwell's ANIMAL FARM and understand whats going on.

The fact remains that if this CJN were Hausa/Fulani Muslim based on verifiable precedence of how Buhari reacted to Ganduje, Baru, Maina, Kyari, Buratai and others accused of graft, the CJN will go scot free. The Exec Secretary of NHIS, Prof. Usman Yusuf was suspended by the Minister of health, for corrupt practices. what did Buhari do? Buhari REINSTATED him! Subsequently Yusuf was again suspended by the NHIS Governing Council. what did Yusuf do? he went and barricaded the office with MOPOL. why would he do that?of course he was doing that because he knew he had the support of the president. Garba Shehu went on air on Channels Tv and in defence of yusuf uttered the following words "…did the Board follow due process in suspending this gentleman (Yusuf)?…No, they haven’t”. ehen, so there is such a thing as due process?


When we cry out in Onnoghen's case insisting that due process must be followed some fools say we are bringing in unwarranted technicalities. Selective justice is a great threat and so odious a thing that it should be resisted by all. if Salisu commits a crime, he is patted on the back, but if Solomon commits the same crime he is swiftly taken to the gallows. Buhari negotiates with Boko Haram but swiftly deals with IPOB.

call me IPOB, i dont care. I detest injustice. I detest Buhari's double standards and his obvious hypocrisy


lets see how the NJC will handle Tanko who has himself blundered big time.
