The campaign of pull it down syndrome has shifted to Edgar now.

Anyone APC can't control or manipulate is in trouble because the media will be sent to wage a pen war and character assassination against the person.

Kí ló tú kù tí o sọ? Ẹ́ni ta bẹ́ lórí, to ṣẹnu wúyẹ́. What next. This is the Real Next Level

Because that is what you all want all along unfortunately,
no maze to steal in the court,
no quorum needed to be formed,
no defection to remove him,
no DSS to block his house,
no gangs to rub and kill for him

It is late now malam

Yesterday it was PDP that sponsored Boko Haram, today, it is foreign element. This is the true definition of confusion.

Why changing a man that is performing because of politics? At least for getting rid of Badoo and other ritual killings, Edgar is the best for Lagos policing.

Power pass power. My mind is telling me that Tinubu may loose Lagos after which he will be dealt at the Federal level.

Can't you see that he is the odd one among them? The reason they want to get rid of him.

He probably has a case with EFCC. By their defections, you shall know them.

Saraki telling him "So, we meet again?"

The Federal High Court in Abuja has stopped the Federal Government’s plan to arraign the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, before the Code of Conduct Tribunal.

The Federal Government through the Code of Conduct Bureau filed six counts of non-declaration of assets against the CJN on Friday.

He was due for arraignment before the CCT on Monday but he was absent from court.



But ruling on two separate ex parte applications on Monday, Justice N.E Maha, ordered parties to maintain status quo till January 17.

He ruled in the two different suits that the defendants should be served with all the papers filed and they should appear in court at the next hearing.

One of the two suits marked FHC/ABJ/CS/27/2019 was filed by incorporated ‎trustees of the Centre for Justice and Peace Initiative.

Those joined as defendants in the suit, the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, the Chairman of CCT, Danladi Umar; the National Judicial Council, the Inspector-General of Police, ‎Mr. Ibrahim Idris, and the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki.

‎The other suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/28/2019 was filed by the incorporated ‎trustees of the International Association of Students Economists and Management.

The suit has as the defendants, Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Malami; the CCT, the CCB, the Chairman of CCT, Umar; and the Inspector-General of Police, ‎Idris.

While the ex parte application in the suit FHC/ABJ/CS/27/2019 was moved by Mr. R.A Lawal-Rabana (SAN), before Justice Maha on Monday, the ex parte application filed in the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/28/2019 ‎was moved by Mr. Jeph Njikonye.

The applications were being filed before the Federal High Court in Abuja while the CCT proceedings where Onnoghen was being expected to be arraigned was ongoing.

‎Justice Onnoghen was however absent at the CCT proceedings forcing the tribunal to adjourn till January 22.

But Justice Maha ruled at the Federal High Court on Monday that no steps should be taken in respect of the trial until January 17 when all parties to the two suits should return to court for the hearing of the plaintiffs’ motion on notice.

‎The hearing took place shortly after the CCT proceedings ended on Monday.

Enjoy your day.

Thank you.
From
UDEMS.

We warned them and still warning them now. But will not hear.
Let me ask the BMC and Buhari supporters, apart from the feeling that your party is winning, your religion is being promoted and protected, (for those who are Muslim), he is your tribe's man, what other personal things do you or your community benefit from Buhari?

victordaimond:
i think you are a lawyer coz that is what actually happened it has been adjourned to Jan 22

You are right but a new wig (junior lawyer) can predict the outcome of the case. It is just a waste of time and money. The intention is just to shame and ridicule the CJN.

▶Chair poses a question as to whether Defendant is not aware of charge

SolutionMee:


No peace for the guilty. This clearly shows that the man is guilty of the allegation charged against him. Hence, the arrival of 90+ lawyers.

I'm now beginning to think that Buhari is trying effortlessly to revive the reputation and international image of this country, while majority of Nigerians were making void his positive inputs.

My fellow countrymen, please think.

Don't say what you are not sure of. The charge was served on his PA and the law says he must be served personally.

His lordship will not come. His lawyer will file a Preliminary Objection today to challenge the jurisdiction of the tribunal. They will make it orally but the tribunal will ask them to formally file it. Matter will be adjourned for them to regularise and will continue like that until the election is over.

We shall see the end. Hope badoo will not return

That one? Mteew

Naija tí su mi, ẹ wá fún mi ní visa às sang by one musician, (I am tired of Nigeria, come and give me visa).
This is the beginning of anarchy.

bluecircle470:
You’re all poor political analyst. His redeployment is due to the nurtw fight last week at the sky power ground at ikeja.

Did they tell you that he caused the fight?

He is loyal and a friend to Ambode, he can't be trusted with Lagos rigging plan. Buhari is not ready to go anywhere.

Mock prophecy
APC may postpone the election from February to March because Jonathan did it before.

My mind is telling me that it is the EFCC that is winning "souls" for APC. Unfortunately, they forgot that Buhari does not forgives. After the election they will all plead for sympathy when their tormentor starts with them.

Now I know why they claimed their site was hacked. Probably to claim that hacker published it on their site or to prevent us from reading it from their site.

The king can do no wrong. If it is from APC, it is in order. It is a party of saints.

CilicMarin:
Is he not a Nigerian again? Do you expect the petition to come from Governor Wike his paymaster?

The question is: can he prove his innocence?

What if it is just a smokescreen to get him out? Bukola Saraki on my mind.

It is well with Nigeria. Let the Lord arise against all the enemies of this country.

ISI Hijab Crisis: Court Allows Traditionalists, Others To Join Suit

..urge parties to consider amicable resolution

JUSTICE Ladiran Akintola of the Oyo State High Court sitting at Ringroad, Ibadan on Friday granted leave to two other parties to join the suit filed by 14 students of the International School Ibadan (ISI) on behalf of the ISI Muslim Parents Forum to contest the restriction of use of hijab on uniforms within the school after the claimant indicated they had no objection to the application.

The 14 pupils (all minors) filed the suit against the University of Ibadan, ISI, Mrs Phebean Olowe, the ISI principal and Professor Abideen Adeyinka Aderinto, the chairman board of governors of the ISI to ask for court orders for the enforcement of their fundamental rights to freedom of thought, conscience and religion and freedom from discrimination, right to dignity of human persons and right to education.

The parties allowed to join the suit as co-respondents are Tunde Olutayo Aro, on behalf of his daughter, Iteoluwakishi Aro, the 2017/2018 social perfect of the school and Babalawo Awosanmi Abe for his children Fatunmishe Abe and Fawoke Abe on behalf of members of traditionalist parents forum of ISI.

Babalawo Abe in his applying joins the suit stated that his children who are traditionalists and Ifa worshippers were stopped from freely practising their religion by preventing them from entering the school premises for adorning traditional beads, a sign of their faith because it was not part of the prescribed school uniform.

The purpose of joining the suit according to him is to seek redress and enforce the alienable rights of association and allow traditionalists represent their religious beliefs through adornment in the school which is the same rights being sought to be enforced by the Muslim Parents forum.

Also, two other parties indicated their interest to join the suit; the secular parents’ forum and the body of Alumni. The two bodies informed the court that they will file the necessary processes before the next sitting on the matter.

Before adjourning the matter for the other parties to file their papers, Justice Akintola urged the parties not to heat up the polity unnecessarily and explore options of an amicable settlement.

“We are all Nigerians, we met this nation peaceful and we must ensure that it remains so. We owe the nation that duty. We should all not unnecessarily heat up the polity. I am talking to all the parties.

“I believe an amicable resolution is best. Don’t let us further divide ourselves. Don’t overheat the polity. I want parties to sleep over this, meet and resolve the issue,” Justice Akintola stated.

The case was adjourned till February 20, 2019, for mention with an order that all interested parties file the necessary documents before the date.
