Error of law:
You said that the only ground for divorce is that the petitioner ought to prove that the marriage has broken down irretrievably. This is correct as section 15 of the MCA provides.

But you are wrong when you said 'other grounds for divorce'. There is only one ground. The 'other grounds...' that you listed are merely facts to show that the marriage has broken down irretrievably.

Kingbuhari:
haba this our little sister's and their own version of Igbo language... which one be Obi
Ezeagwuna ? in english translation it means king of prostitutes TUFIAKWA

It shows that you don't know the Igbo language. Prostitute means 'akwuna' and not 'agwuna'.

Ezeagwuna means simply 'king will not end' or 'king will not finish'. agwuna means don't finish.

If you are Igbo, then you are a disgrace to the tribe. Go and learn the language.

mikezuruki:
Mumu freeze does not know the difference sef. Instead of "prophecies", mumu dey write "prophesies". Na so e dey start. Small Small.

I bet you, up to 70% of Nigerians don't know the difference between 'propheCy' and 'propheSy'.

nuisance-causing ipod attack dog that is what you are.

How you cowardly evaded the issue is annoying. It shows how disappointed you are that your supposed gallant president feared coming to Enugu because of IPOB's threat.

What a coward president you have!!!

I won't insult you because I don't know you.

matex97:
online ranting is easy.try go block Buhari for border btw enugu state and her neighbouring state

fool!!! Did your dullard president come to Enugu again?

I told you we don't need him and our threats made him not to come. He ran away like a dog with his tail between his legs.

iyke926:
The head is not flat. Name please

a voice in the background says 'na Yoruba'.

I blame the Duara dullard.

I blame the Yollowba people that voted for this disaster.

After voting for this president, they have all resorted to stealing, armed robbery and ritual killings.

Name Checkers Association of Nigeria (NCAN) Enugu branch. We heard a voice saying 'na Yoruba'. So we have confirmed that the criminal is from our sophisticated brown roof brethren.

We don't want to see that dullard in Enugu State.

He has nothing to offer except failures.

The Sultan is in Enugu now, Buhari is to visit Enugu on Thursday, is there any underground work going on in Enugu and orchestrated by the Fulani?

We don't need Buhari here biko.

The people that fabricated the lies against Jonathan are today organising solidarity rallies to defend their leader who has become a victim in the hands of the tiger he decorated to spite Jonathan. Their complain was marginalisation. They easily forgot that Jonathan, after the 2011 election, asked their leader Tinubu to nominate ministers from the South West. He refused because of the fear that they will become powerful in the PDP govt and abandon
him. He also directed the Reps from South West to reject a Yoruba woman and vote Tambuwal from Sokoto. Under Obasanjo, Nigeria was ranked between 2nd and 3rd by Transparency International on corruption. Nigeria moved to
between 132nd and 136th in the TI ranking, yet, tribal hatred made them ignore this facts speak and told lies against a gentleman.

egbonnla:
This allegation coming from Oke who was once an APC member is highly significant.......PMB may be sincere but the people he surrounded himself with are devious and worst than PDP. These people who are presently profiteering from APC government will do anything to remain in power.......Every day we kept hearing of billions of naira being released for capital projects........without any economical impact on the lives of Nigerians

Who maybe sincere?Buhari?Lol. PMB is very insincere otherwise he would have fired people like Amaechi, Dambazzu after such evidence of corrupt practices against them were presented.

If he is sincere, after receiving this letter from Oke, he should investigate it. But do you know what?, he will so much pretend that he didn't hear this. He is only after witch-hunting the opposition.

He is a very insincere and corrupt man.

I tink is cuncurent. So we are looking at say 7yrs

You are the only one to make a reasonable comment here.

the sentences run concurrently not consecutively. So the highest sentence there being 3years, is the period he will be in jail.

Nigerians don't read till the end or they simply don't understand.

Thousands of lawyers have stormed the streets of Abuja, in protest of the alleged continued disobedience of court orders by the State Security Service, SSS.


The lawyers, supported by members of the civil society community, have stormed the Federal High Court Headquarters in Maitama, the Attorney General’s office,
National Human Rights Commission.

They are currently heading to the Three
Arms Zone, which hosts the Aso Rock
presidential villa, Supreme Court and the
National Assembly, a witness said.

The lawyers say judges must not step down from cases involving the SSS as that would amount to victory for tyranny and intimidation.

They are also demanding that all judiciary workers to go on strike until the SSS obeys all pending judgements and Orders.

The Roads leading to Aso Rock have been barricaded and there is palpable tension as the protesters meet heavy resistance from security agents who are blocking the
protesters who are insisting on marching
into Aso Rock,” a witness told PREMIUM TIMES.


The standoff is happening on the Road
leading to the Three Arms Zone. The SSS has been accused of disobeying several court orders since 2015. The most notable cases involve the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, and the leader of the pro-Biafra group, Nnamdi
Kanu.

Some judges have recently stood down from cases involving the SSS, following the arrest seven senior judges on allegation of corruption.

More details later.

18TH OCTOBER, 2016

My Lord, The Hon. the Chief Justice of Nigeria & Chairman, National Judicial Council Supreme Court Complex
ABUJA

My Lord
INVASION OF MY HOUSE IN THE
NIGHT, PLANTING OF HUGE SUMS OF
MONEY IN DIFFERENT CURRENCIES,
PURPORTED RECOVERY OF THE MONEY,
CARTING AWAY OF MY DOCUMENTS AND
OTHER VALUABLE ITEMS AND MY
SUBSEQUENT ABDUCTION BY MASKED
OPERATIVES OF THE DSS BETWEEN
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7TH AND SATURDAY,
OCTOBER 8TH, 2016

1. Some days before Friday, 7th October, 2016 I started feeling symptoms of malaria attack. Any
malaria drug keeps me drowsy and
sleeping for days and since I had to
go to work I decided to hang on until
Friday to take the drug after work.

2. I returned from work late Friday
afternoon, had a meal and took the
medication I got from Dr. Ukah of the
Supreme Court Medical Centre. By
7.30 pm I was already in bed having
switched off my hand sets. After a
little while my house maid knocked on
the door to my bedroom. I reluctantly
dragged myself to the door. She told
me that a group of people wanted to
see me. I told her to inform whoever
wanted to see me that night that I
do not see visitors in the night, that
they could come to see me in day
time. I went back to sleep.

I could not tell how long later that I heard
knocks on the door. I ignored the
knocks but when my house girl
continued knocking on the door I
managed to get up and opened the
door. She told me that some people
said that the President sent them to
me. I got out of the room to find
that a large number of people some
of whom wore face masks and hand
gloves were everywhere in the ground
floor. I told my house maid to ask the
people to meet me in my study next
door to the bedroom.

3. They rushed into my study, one of
them said his name was John. He
flashed a card to me and showed me
what he said was a search warrant.
My vision was blurred as a result of
the malaria and the drug I took. They
had drawn guns. I was terrified and I
thought they had a more sinister
mission than a mere search. I made
to know whether the Chief Justice of
Nigeria knew of their mission. One of
them contemptuously spat “Who is
Chief Judge of Nigeria”. I brought
out my handset to call the Chief
Registrar of the Supreme Court, they
would not let me do so. Rather they
collected my three phones and
another phone that I had discarded. I
lay down on the seat in the parlour
downstairs while they turned
everything upside down on the ground
floor.

When they finished downstairs they
demanded that I should show them
the rooms on the next floor. Again I
had to lie down on the seat in the
room while they turned everything
upside down. I had to go to another
seat when they want to upturn the
seat I occupied. One of them saw the
sum of forty thousand naira
(N40,000.00) and one thousand naira
notes in one of the drawers. He was
excited and called their lead who saw
the money and said “This is not the
kind of money we came to pick”. They
left the N40,000.000.

4. In the next bedroom I lay on the
bed out of sight of the wardrobe from
which they brought some boxes and
brief cases and travelling bags. All
the bags and briefcases and travelling
bags except one contained only
magazines, papers and some old
clothing. Some were empty. Only one
small bag was locked with a padlock
and this was the only bag that
contained money. They directed me to
come over and remove the padlock. I
retrieved the key from the side
pocket of the bag and removed the
padlock and returned to my bed. They
put the bags together by the toilet
door. They called me again and asked
me whether the bags were my
property and I answered they were
my property. None of the bags were
neither opened in my presence nor in
the presence of my housemaid who
was the only person in the house with
me at all material times.

5. Some of them stayed in the room
while I took them to my study. At this
time I became very dizzy and I had to
return to lie down on a seat in the
parlour and a man with a gun and a
face mask stood over me while I
dozed. He followed each time I went
to the toilet. Another one followed
my housemaid each time I asked her
for water. There was no way out of
the house. They were at all doors.
Those searching and those outside the
house went into the house through
the main door, kitchen door and back
doors. They went in and out of every
room including the room in which the
bags were kept. I dozed
intermittently but my house girl was
kept sitting on the steps and was
able to observe them coming through
the kitchen door but she could not
see those who came from back doors,
took the second steps and went in
and out of the rooms on the upper
floor.

6. After many hours they came down
to the sitting room downstairs and
told me they were going to bring
down the bags. I was speechless when I saw them bringing out huge bundles of different currencies from the bags that had contained only magazine papers and
old clothes and some were empty.

Some were contained in multi-
coloured plastic bags which they tore
and discarded. They put the money in
different bags and brief cases and
then proceeded to count a large
amount of N5, N10, N20 and N50
notes which was the change I
returned each time I went to shop
over the years. They kept waking me
up to ask how I came about the small
denomination of naira notes. No one
asked me any question about the huge
sums of money they put in the bags.

7. One of them came to where I was
lying down and ordered me to sit up.
One of the gun men who stood a few
feet from me came and stood next to
me with his gun drawn. I was ordered
to sign a paper which they said
contained a list of what they were
taking away. Confronted with the
life-threatening situation I made an
instant mental decision that it was
better for me to comply with their
orders and stay alive to tell my story
rather than get shot and killed on
the pretext that I attacked them or
that I tried to escape. I signed the
paper and wrote my name as ordered.
No one told me what offence I was
alleged to have committed. No one
told me of any petition or allegation
against me.

8. The only bag that contained money
was the small bag i locked with a
padlock which I unlocked when ordered
to do so. The bag contained the sum
of $25,000, £10 = = and a brown
envelope containing the sum of
N710,000 which was a monthly
allowance paid to me for September
2016. In the brief case, which I carry
to my office daily, I had the sum of
N300,000 and some loose change. The
above are the only sums of money
taken from me along with my phones,
papers and other household items. I
do not know how they came about the
huge sums of money I saw for the
first time in my parlour on the early
hours of Saturday, 8th October, 2016.

The various sums of money alleged to
have been recovered from me were
said to be in the social media in the
early hours of Saturday, 8thOctober,
2016 when the invaders were yet to
complete their search.

9. They took me away in their vehicle
but before they drove away they
ordered my housemaid to get in and
lock the house and not to ever come
out or let anyone into the house. It was
when I saw DSS in the premises into
which they drove me that I realized
my invaders were agents of a Federal
Government Department. Prior to
getting into the premises I thought
that the invaders were even armed
robbers or kidnappers, more so when
I was not questioned by anyone about
anything.

10. Then I became much more
disturbed not only for myself but for
the future of this great Nation,
Nigeria. I could not convince myself
that any agency of the Federal
Government, in a democratic setting,
could for any undisclosed reason
violate the rights of a Nigerian
citizen, a Judicial Officer and Justice
of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, for
that matter with such impunity. I
thought that the democratic
government had been overthrown and
the Constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended)
abolished or suspended.

11. Then the next phase of the
ordeal started. I was taken to a room
where I met my learned brother, Hon.
Justice John Inyang Okoro, JSC. He
looked spent and so were other
Judicial Officers both serving, sacked
and retired. No one told me anything
or asked me any question till late in
the night when they drove from over
one hour to a place they called villa.
They took Justice Okoro and myself
into a room that contained only a bed
with a discarded, stained old mattress
and both of us had to share it for
the night. There was no towel, no
soap and worst of all there was no
toilet paper. We slept in our clothes,
went under the tap and used our
handkerchiefs in place of towels.

12. The next day, Sunday, we were
driven back to the office. I was taken
to a room where two operatives fired
questions at me in quick succession. I
answered as much as I could in the
circumstances. I pleaded with them to
tell me why I was abducted and
detained and subjected to endless
questioning.I also asked why everyone
kept mute over the huge sums of
money allegedly recovered in my house
but none of the two men would
answer my question. We were allowed
to go home Sunday night only as a
result of the intervention of the
Hon. Chief Justice of Nigeria, the
Hon. Justice Mahmud Mohammed,
GCON. We were ordered to return on
Monday and since then we have been
reporting daily to them.

13. On Friday last week, I was
ordered to report by 10 am. Justice
Okoro and I were required to appear
before the Judiciary Committee of
the Senate. We told our stories to
the Senators and rushed from them
to meet our interrogators. On one
particular occasion, I was taken to,
and locked up, in their different
rooms. Each room had only a table
and a set of chairs and I was kept
for about one and half hours in each
room. No one was with me in any of
the rooms.

14. My Noble Lord, I am a victim of my
own resolve never to violate my
sacred oath of office as a Judicial
Officer. Politicians and their
collaborators have been hunting me on
that account. It started in Ebonyi
State where I was falsely accused
before a panel set up by NJC in
August 2000. It was replicated in 2009
when I was pulled from my Division,
Calabar, to preside over a motion filed
by Senator Andy Uba seeking to be a
Governor without going through the
process of election. In each case I
was exonerated.

15. My present plight started
sometime between 2013 and 2014. I
represented the then Chief Justice of
Nigeria in an event organised in the
International Conference
Centre.Hon. Rotimi Amaechi came in
late and sat next to me at the high
table. He introduced himself to me
and we exchanged contacts. A few
weeks after, Fayose’s case was
determined in the Court of Appeal.
Amaechi called me by 6.45 am. He said
he had come to see me but was told I
had left for my office. When he said
he would return in the evening, I
demanded to know what he wanted
but he would not tell me. He did not
come that evening but came the
following morning when I was already
prepared to go to work.

He begged me to ensure that Fayose’s election was set aside and another election ordered for his friend Fayemi to
contest. I told him I would not help
him and that even if I am on the
panel I have only my one vote.

16. After the Rivers State
Governorship election was determined
by the Court of Appeal, he called to
tell me his ears were full and he
would like to tell me what he heard. I
told him I was out of Abuja at the
time. On my return he came in the
evening and even before he sat down
he barked “You have seen Wike”. I
asked him whether that was a
question or a statement. Then he
made a call and asked me to speak
with someone. The man he called said
he was a DSS man. We exchanged
greetings and I handed the phone to
him. Next, he said “Oga is not
happy”. I asked him who is the
unhappy “Oga” and he answered
“Buhari”. I retorted “go and talk to
his wife”. He got very angry, and
left, remarking “we shall see”
several times.

17. Your Lordship may recall one
morning when I pleaded not be on the
Panel for Rivers Appeal. Your Lordship
said I was already on the Panel and
asked me to explain why I made the
request to be excluded. When I
explained what transpired the
previous night, Your Lordship told me
Amaechi had also attempted to
influence other Justices. My Lord, on
the day we heard the appeal with
your Lordship presiding, we were
allowed lunch break at 4.20 pm. The
moment I got into my Chambers he,
Amaechi, called. When he told who
was calling, I said to him, “Your
Excellency, you want to issue more
threats”? He replied “Have you been
threatened before?” I replied “I know
a threat when I hear one even if
veiled. In any case I will not talk to
you” and I switched off my phone.

18. The people who failed in their
attempt to destroy me in Ebonyi in
2000 and in Enugu in Andy Uba’s case
in the Court of Appeal, Enugu in 2009
are now supplying Amaechi with
information to fight me for my
negative response to his demands,
especially my answer to his statement
that “Oga was not happy”.This
infuriated him and as he stormed out
he said he would deal with the
situation.

19. The incident I will narrate below
may or may not bear on this case.
When the Governorship Election
appeal from my State, Ebonyi, came
to the Court of Appeal, one Mr.
Igwenyi, a Senior staff of Federal
Judicial Service Commission came to
my Chambers and told me that the
former Governor of Abia State, Dr.
Ogbonnaya Onu had pleaded with him
to convince me to see him, Dr. Onu. I
asked him to call Dr. Onu; he did and I
wanted to know why he wanted to see
me. He said it was confidential. I
asked when he wanted to see me and
he said he would like me to come in
the evening. I told Igwenyi that he
would have to take me to Dr. Onu in
his car and bring me back. I had
wanted him to listen to what Dr. Onu
had to say but when we arrived, Dr
Onu put him in a different room.

He asked me whether I know the Hon.
President of the Court of Appeal and
I told him that His Lordship was my
Presiding Justice in the Court of
Appeal, Benin Division. He asked of my
relationship with the PJA and I said
it was cordial. He nodded his head
several times in apparent
satisfaction.

20. He told me that the candidate for
the Labour Party was ready to switch
over to APC if he could help him win
the appeal in the Court of Appeal and
that in appreciation of the
undertaking to come over to his
party, he had obtained the services
of three Justices of the Court of
Appeal to ensure victory for Labour
Party. He said he needed one to
convince the PJA to include his three
Justices of the Court of Appeal in the
five-man panel to hear the appeal. I
told him I would not help him and that
I could not in good conscience convey
such request even to a Customary
Court Judge.

He was disappointed and asked me whether I knew the husband of the PJA. I told him I did not know the man. I bid him good night and left. Igwenyi joined me in the
passage and when he drove me back
to my home I told him what Dr. Onu
wanted. Igwenyi apologised to me and
assured me that he would not have
bothered me if he had known what
Dr. Onu wanted me to do.

21. In addition to the above I have
been subjected to visits to the DSS
offices. I was made to stay idle for
the whole day, without food or even
water. On 17thOctober, 2016 I went
to the DSS office to collect my
passports as directed. I was to be
there by 10 am but I arrived by 9.30
am and I was assured that I would
return to my office in no time. I was
kept there till 3.45 pm before I was
questioned on the passports till 5.00
pm. After that, one of them took the
passports to his boss.

He returned an hour later, handed me my passports and told me he had finished with me but that only the man in whose office
I was could let me go. I was only
allowed to go about 10 pm with a
warning to report at 10 am on
18thOctober 2016. From 9.30 am to 10
pm I was not given water or food.

22. I am on my way to the DSS office
and who knows if and when I will be
allowed to leave the place.

23. My Lord, the facts stated herein
can be verified.

24. Attached is an Affidavit deposed
by me in the Supreme Court Registry
to this effect.

Yours faithfully
