taharqa: My frnd dont just go there u hear. I hv personally made the concious decision to stay off debating this Salami issue cos of its possible extremely negative effect on d image and integrity of d judiciary, which is in all our interests. Howeva, dont behave as though Salami is clean in all dis. Salami was in communicatn at various times with oppositn politicians whose cases he was overseeing as head of d Appeal court (as proven by details of MTN call log); what was d judge discussing with dem about, just sharing sm of those beautiful yoruba greetings perhaps? Do u know sm of d CSOs who were vehemently supporting him last yr hv abandond him (eg Joe Odumakin's group)... Abeg guy, just let sm mata rest; it is to all our interest

“On August 18, the National Judicial Council (NJC) suspended the president of the Court of Appeal, Justice Ayo Isa Salami, after he refused the NJC's directive to apologize to the NJC and the chief justice of Nigeria, Justice Aloysius Katsina-Alu. Salanii had accused Katsina-Alu of interfering in the proceedings of the 2007 Sokoto State gubernatorial court case.

In an attempt to settle the dispute, the NJC set up three panels to investigate the disagreement. The panels declared neither justice was at fault, declared the issue resolved, and requested that Salami apologize to the NJC and Katsina-Alu. The Nigerian Bar Association reached contrary findings, and Salami refused to apologize. After the NJC suspended Salami, President Jonathan used his constitutional authority to recommend the compulsory retirement of Salami and appointed Justice Dalhatu Adamu as acting president of the Court of Appeals. The case raised questions regarding the partisan nature and level of independence within the judiciary. Salami appealed the ruling, and the court case continued at year's end”.

Demdem:

The same MTN call log which the NJC had listened to and found Salami not culpable. Is there any other log that incriminates salami in ur possesion that hasnt been handed over to NJC? I dont care if salami is sack today but those that were suppose to investigate him and would probably lead to criminal prosecution says he has done nothing wrong. Why do u prefer to stick with Oyinlola's position that salami is guilty but ignore the NJC's position?

Mavor: You are missing the point. What makes the US court superior to the Nigerian court? Ok, so if the US court rules in their favor, what happens? They will refuse to adhere to the Nigerian ruling?? In Nigeria!! Lol. If they have grievances and they have no confidence in the Nigerian judicial system, why not make their case through our very excellent media? Why not take it to the International Court of Arbitration?

taharqa: I hv told him to let dis rest, and am telling u d same tin...the NJC decision on d log was cos of d judiciary. Ask yrself what he was discussing with people whose case u are presiding (smthing that is not done in d judiciary) and why credible groups and individuals (myself inclusive) that were vehemently fighting for him initially hv eida publicly or discretely abandond him?.. Am not saying he did this or that wrong stuff, but there are certain he shldn't hv done and for d sake of judiciary we dont need to investigate furda into it since he has reportedly already decided to retire... Lets rest it
