Justice Karibi whyte once said in a court proceeding that ''mere technicality which should not be allowed to defeat the course of justice. Learned Senior Advocate conceded that the defect in the originating summons merely rendered the summons irregular, but not illegal. Accordingly, the summons could only be set aside if there was a prompt objection raised by a party complaining about the irregularity''

Tanko's answer was at variance with the question.This is supposed to be the CJN.He answered like someone that was not listening to the question, someone who didn't understand the question or someone who didn't know the answer to the question.Kai, wahala dey ooo.

He actually answered very correctly.
Technicalities are foundations of laws anywhere in the world.
Pdp should get over the loss of this joker dancing senator. If the law says a judge has to be available and sign register in all tribunal sittings to deliver a fair amd just judgement anything different will be a nullity irrespective of the merit so be it

He did not, considering what the supreme court based it's judgement on.He was explaining technicality as if technicality means one being an expert in a given field.This is not what technicality is, as related to the supreme court judgment.Watch the video once more.

I am not a legal expert. But from my understanding, I thought technicality broadly relies on one party in a court process using an unusual procedure or perceived anomaly to overwhelm and discredit other otherwise powerful evidence or grounds in favour of another party. It could for example be that the charge/case was filed wrongly, error in collecting evidence, etc. Even though the case and or evidence themselves would have merit if they were presented following due process, etc.

Let the experts please enlighten us.

Bottom.line he said technicalities are part of our laws and we need to get used to it. Whether on the winning or losing side.

You weren't expecting the CJN to say that literally but we need a justice reform but in the mean time
Judgements are based off superior arguments.
If adeleke had prayed for a retrial the supreme court may have heard him but he was busy praying to be declared governor and that cannot happen

Re: Senator Abaribe Questions CJN Tanko Muhammad by Nobody: 4:09pm On Jul 18, 2019
I watched the video and Chief Justice Tanko was just trying to explain the technicalities in the context of the law and he was just giving a illustration based on the airplane to show people that if you are not an expert in a field you will not be able to handle some technical issue.

He was trying to tell us people perceive technicality issues differently in law and that should be only left to the legal expert to interpret.

So why are all these guys saying this Judge is a quota system Justice, coz I do not see anything wrong in his statement.

Seems a lot of Naija youth are truly lazy and can't even discern situation with their own mind and often follow the bandwagon.

The issue is not whether technicality is not part of our law, obviously it is.The issue is that a CJN could not define or explain to the layman what technicality in law means.

Enyinnaya Abaribe is a very intelligent man.

The CJN didn't understand the question, so he didn't answer it.

He was just beating about the bush.

The CJN got the terms all mixed up. He misconstrued expert opinion or evidence as the meaning of technicality. Technicality in law simply means a situation where a litigant gains advantage or victory which is not premised on the just adjudication of the substance or merits of the case. A typical example is where a litigant applies for the opponent to be foreclosed from filing a response to his motion on grounds that the opponent did not file his response within the time allowed or stipulated by the rules of court.

There's nothing new or strange about what happened. In fact, it's almost standard.

Justice Idris Legbo Kutigi appeared before the Senate for his confirmation hearing in 2007. I watched the session live on the NTA.

President Obasanjo had done his homework and the Senate had already agreed to confirm Justice Kutigi.

The senate president, Senator Ken Nnamani told Justice Kutigi that his CV was impressive and that he would be confirmed. However, Senator Nnamani said that they were going to ask Justice Kutigi some questions, so that he could advise and guide the Senate.


I can't remember if it was Senator Ibrahim Mantu or Senator Jonathan Zwingina, but one of them asked Justice Kutigi a question. Justice Kutigi spoke at length and ended up saying absolutely nothing.

The senator was surprised and he rephrased the question. Justice Kutigi dribbled on and on and ended up saying nothing. The senate president intervened. He told Justice Kutigi that they had already agreed to confirm him and that they simply want him to advise and guide the Senate and that his advice would help them to make better laws.

Again, Justice Kutigi spoke at length, but he still didn't answer the question. The senator and the senate president were shocked. Then the senate president asked him to go and they voted and confirmed his appointment.

I was laughing at home, but I was a little bit frustrated by the actions of the senators. I could understand what was happening and I couldn't understand why the senators couldn't understand what I understood.


Justice Kutigi did not want to answer the question because he didn't want his opinion to be on record because a similar issue might be before him in court in future.

I could understand this and I was wondering why the senators did not understand this simple point.

Justice Kutigi deliberately spoke off topic because he did not want to answer the question.

It is you who doesn't understate whole concept of the question. Honorable Chief Justice's response was meaningful and totally addressed the substance of the question. Okay

Technicality is just a very strict interpretation of the law.

Procedures are part of law and nothing unusual about them
An example of Unusual procedure might be the use of torture to get confession statement from a suspect . Another example is filling a case after the end of the statute of limitations.

But technicality is not the basis of law in normal circumstances but credible evidence.

Unusual procedure could be collecting evidence from an accused's house without a warrant. Evidence found in the house, however credible and overwhelming on its own, might be deemed inadmissible. The case might still be dismissed based on lack of evidence. This is an example of technicality prevailing where the procedure/process used in collecting evidence was unusual to the norm.

Anywhere in the world if a cop doesn't get a warrant or breaks into your house and finds the so called "murder weapon" that case will be thrown out as fast as it came of course based on the good old TECHNICALITIES
