Moferere:


Which right? Only the STATE can institute a criminal case.

Okeke's certificate is questionable

That's actually not true. Any aggrieved Nigerian can file a direct criminal suit. It's only a charge at the High Court that needs fiat of the AG.

Politics / Re: No Record Of Obasa As A Lawyer In Our Registry - Supreme Court by TheAdvocate(m): 12:33pm On Jul 28, 2020
LegendHero:
The Supreme Court stated in the letter that:

He is at liberty to come to this honorable court with his Call to bar and qualifying certificates for enrollment.


Could it be the lawyers have to enroll to be included in the Rolls of Legal Practitioner record?

That's the practice. Immediately you are called to the bar by the Body of Benchers, you carry your call to bar certificate to the Supreme Court for enrollment. It's possible to have a lawyer practicing without being enrolled. Some of them found out this during the verification.

In 2007 during my call, I went straight from Law School Bwari to the Supreme Court and my name was written in a book we call "Book of Life".

Before I clicked this

I was blaming the boy why he did not state it was a parody account

lo and behold, he did

Thats why I have been scared yesterday when High Court said FRSC can impound any car

I know our security agencies and over zealousness

Is Jonathan aware and did he ask for the arrest?



You clearly do not know what a parody account is

You dont

Not under Nigerian law. I challenge you to quote the relevant Nigerian law in favour of the fact that one can operate a parody account in the name of someone and using the person's photograph.
Properties / Re: What Is Your Worst Experience With A Tenant? by TheAdvocate(m): 5:18pm On Jun 10, 2020
Dpsychologist:
What is Your Worst Experience with a Tenant?

As there are terrible experiences with landlords there are also terrible experiences with tenants. Today i will like to share a worst experience with a tenant.

My dad happens to be a landlord so we have met alot of tenants.

There was a stubborn tenant that rented a 3 bedroom flat worth 300k. He told my dad he will pay 250k now when he has the remaining he will pay. That's when the notoreity started. The tenant refused to pay the 50k, despite my dad's constant reminder.

When his rent expires he said he will soon pay that he needs more time, that he wants to pay everything at once. The next time my dad ask him, he said he is in financial crises all this was while i was in school. When i came back for end of semester break i still heard that the man hasn't paid his rent. I began pressuring my dad to collect this rent, the tenant has spent over 5months without paying a dime. My dad said the man lost his uncle and went for burial recently. Thats when i realize he has been given excuse to my dad for a very long time.

After sometimes i told my dad not to allow the man stay one more month without paying. My dad threaten to bring the police and take him to court. The man blocked my dad number, then my dad called him with another number when he picked and discover it was my dad he claim he didnt see my dad's initial call that he was sick. The man then switched off his phone.

We decided to go to meet the man together with a lawyer but he was not around. I placed a 2month notice and that he must pay for the months he has stayed in the house. After a week the man called with a new number pleading that he should not be evicted. He asked for my dad's account number so that he will pay. The man send 50k only. My dad told him he just completed his last year rent and will have to pay for the current year. The man refused. After the two months my dad changed the door lock thereby preventing him from getting inside even though his stuffs are inside.

After a month, a woman from the Neighborhood told my dad that the man we evicted is still living in the house. He usually comes in late at around 11-12pm and goes out around 7am. The next day we arrived there few minutes past 6 but the man has already gone. We discover that he changed the lock to the house. We end up confiscating all his properties and emptied his room. Till today he is yet to be found.

I have others stories about other tenants but i will love to hear your story. Over to you.

What is your worst experience with a tenant?

You cannot lock or change locks on a tenant. Such can only be done by order of court and it's the court bailiffs that can effect that. You actually perpetuated an illegality Bros.

In Adamawa state 60% of the population are Christians but for Kano state, this is indeed news.

Crime / Re: EFCC To Go After Those Using POS Machines Illegally by TheAdvocate(m): 2:30pm On Jun 14, 2019
EFCC cannot insist that banks should freeze any account on the basis of a letter of investigation.

The only situation where the banks are expected to freeze an account is only when there is an order of court to that effect.

EFCC should obey the law too. The days of arbitrary freezing of accounts on flimsy and foolish reasons are over.

adebayo201:
I don't get it. How can you take a suspect to prison when he/she has not been convicted



This country ehn.

In Nigeria, an accused person, if not released on bail is usually taken to prison custody unless the prosecution make a special request that the accused remains in its custody if investigation is ongoing or lawyer to the accused make a special request to the judge that his client remains in the custody of the arresting authority. Prison is not for convicts alone. There is portion in prison for awaiting trial and another for convicts.

I am a lawyer and therefore I know this.

NonsoWow:
The judiciary has become lawless that is why I don't blame Buhari for disrespecting some of their judgements. Why should an FCT court make this illegal order far away from Bauchi when there is an election petition tribunal set up for these things? Should an FCT high court even dabble into any matter outside its jurisdiction(FCT) at all? The NJC should sit up. This lawlessness of the judiciary is getting out of control.

You have little or no understanding of the law. The Federal High Court have one jurisdiction and that's Nigeria. It's divided into judicial divisions for administrative reasons and purposes only.

PoliticsNigeria:
@POLITICSNGR

Information reaching the PoliticsNGR newsdesk on Friday afternoon reveals that activist, Deji Adeyanju has been remanded in prison custody till February 6th, 2019.

A chief magistrate court in Kano state remanded Adeyanju in prison custody after taking his plea

The police arrested Mr Adeyanju on December 13, accusing him of being complicit in a murder case in 2000.Adeyanju was discharged and acquitted by the Kano State High Court after a trial that lasted between 2005 and 2009.

Adeyanju was arraigned before Justice Hassan Fagge early Friday morning. He stated that he lacked the power to hear the murder charges brought against the political activist by the police but ordered that he remains in prison until February 6 when a higher court will be available for a hearing into the matter.

Adeyanju has been moved to Kano Prisons.

https://politicsngr.com/breaking-deji-adeyanju-remanded-prison-till-february/

Foolish magistrate.
You don't have power to try the offence and that means you cannot order him to prison. Its illegal to detain someone using the court under holding charge. I am aware that there is always a High Court judge sitting as vacation judge.

Unease pervades the atmosphere at Imo state Judiciary as Justice Chukwujieze Ogu of the Ubulu Magistrate's Court in Oru West LGA of the state was reportedly killed after been abducted by some unknown persons on Thursday 29th November, 2018.

Justice Ogu until his gruesome death distinguished himself as lawyer par excellence and is known for his impartial judgments.
Justice Chukwujieze Ogu is the first son of the renowned lawyer: Barrister Remy C. Ogu.

He hails from Umuakunne, Ezimba Ihitte-Uboma of Imo state and studied law at Imo state University Owerri.

May His Soul Rest in Peace.

He is a magistrate and not a justice. Justices are titles used by superior court judges from High Court and above. He is a magistrate and of the lower bench. Make the necessary corrections. Your post is misleading as it is sir.
