Suspension of Walter Onnoghen by President Muhammadu Buhari violates global human rights standards, UN expert says.


The suspension of Nigeria's most senior judge by President Muhammadu Buhari broke international human rights standards on the independence of the judiciary and the separation of powers, a United Nations expert has said.

"International human rights standards provide that judges may be dismissed only on serious grounds of misconduct or incompetence," said Diego Garcia-Sayan, the UN special rapporteur on the independence of judges and lawyers, on Monday.

"Any decision to suspend or remove a judge from office should be fair and should be taken by an independent authority such as a judicial council or a court," he said in a statement.

Buhari, who was a military ruler in the 1980s and was voted into office in 2015, is hoping to win a new term in a presidential election scheduled to take place on Saturday.

The chief justice could preside over any dispute over the election result.

Nigeria's judiciary has helped resolve electoral disputes in past votes, some of which have been marred by violence and ballot rigging.

Garcia-Sayan, who is mandated by the UN Human Rights Council to investigate legal and judicial independence, said dismissing judges without following legal procedures or offering a chance to contest the decision was incompatible with the independence of the judiciary.

Buhari suspended Chief Justice Walter Onnoghen on January 25 following an order by a tribunal on public officials' conduct and replaced him with Ibrahim Tanko Mohammad.

But four courts superior to the tribunal had already ordered a stay of proceedings and the tribunal had previously said it lacked jurisdiction over cases involving judicial officers, Garcia-Sayan said.

The UN statement said some of the judges and the defence lawyers involved in Onnoghen's case had been subject to serious threats, pressures and interference.

'Attempted coup'
The move prompted anger among the country's civil society groups and opposition.

Last month, the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) decided to embark on a two-day warning boycott of all courts in Nigeria over Onnoghen's suspension.

The NBA and local civil society associations held protests in Abuja and southeast Enugu state to reject Onnoghen's suspension, calling it an "attempted coup against the Nigerian judiciary".

Critics say the suspension is an effort by Buhari to weaken Nigeria's judiciary and pave the way for his election to a second term in the February 16 vote.

Amid heightened tensions before the vote, observers warned against election-related violence.

Oil-rich Nigeria struggles with multiple security challenges, including the decade-old Boko Haram rebellion and Buhari's 2015 election was a rare peaceful transfer of power. Diplomats have urged the top candidates to sign a peace pledge.

Wasn't it the CCT that requested his removal?

That means the suspension is lawful according to the OP.

This is Nigeria where you can do virtually anything and get away with it...... Government oo CJN oo all of them don dey craze.....my prayer na say make God just kee them all at once

No one takes UN serious again.
Contrary to their stern warning and stand, America moved their embassy to Jerusalem nothing happens

SICK BITCH ASS UN..



SAI BABA BUHARI

This man had taken sides. He said only court or judicial commission can suspend. Yet he said four courts have said CCT has no right to hear case. Does he know Nigerian judicial system at all? Where was he when appeal court ruled that CCT is the only court that has right to hear the case? Those other courts, do they have superior privilege over appeal courts? This man has been paid by Atiku. I can't believe this is happening to UN that should be neutral in national affairs.

So taking huge bribes to deny the country justice is not against human rights.

They can go and allow massively corrupt judges to be chief judges in the their countries and the international courts.

For us Onnoghen is now facing the law and may end up in prison.

You are talking to someone with dead ears

Onneghe matter open every body eye say bubu plan is to rig election

A criminal cannot judge criminals. UN is mad.

Highly prematured and elementary

Can the UN allow someone like Onnoghen sit as a Judge of the ICJ?

Can the US allow someone like Onnoghen sit as a Judge of the US Supreme Court?

Can the UK allow Onnoghen sit as a Judge in the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom?

If they can, let them take Onnoghen, we dash them.

These people are very desperate to influence Our Election, UN have now officially Join Wailers Association, Buhari we will and nothing go happen
