Some of these men have been doing law for decades !!! There are lots of business you can start with even less than N10million and become a millionaire in less than 10 years.

Go and ask some of these Igbo's in ladipo and alaba how much they were settled by their bosses.I bet you none of them will tell you anything close to N5m and yet today some of them are worth hundreds of millions
ninety percent of them are doing nefarious act. One of you was caught last year as a car snatcher and he also owns a shop in Ladipo. They uses the shop to disguise as bisnessmen. We no know tribe who some dosen't engage in crime but igbos scored A1 in it. They can do anything for money and to the point of killing their mother or fathers. We caught an igbo boy in my town last year who was trying to use bread to eat the defecate of a woman who went to the bush and when caught he said if he had succeeded the woman will become so sick and die and then he will become rich. This same boy had a shop too. So you. No tribe who can't do business but when it comes to selling fake product, expire one, then their conscience will not made that possible but most igbos don't care. They almost killed their daughter the late prof of blessed memory who stop their wicked act of bringing fake and substandard drug to the country when he was the DG of nafdac. Go and check the top ten big time bisnesses in nigeria today and you will be amazed whose tribe dorminated.

You afonja soka entities make up all sorts of imaginary fake stories to discredit hardworking Igbo businessmen, probably because u people don't have the same brain to excel in businesses.

The NJC would only suspend the judges if there is substantial evidence that there are corrupt. If you read their correspondence to the DSS they stated clearly that the DSS could not substantiate it's claims against justice Pindiga


The NJC would not be stampeded into suspending the judges without proof

thank you for your comment Sir.

the President has showed he has no democratic traits....he is still the same dictator of 1983.

You are not a public official.

If you were, from time to time you would have needed to swear an affidavit in line with asset declaration.

Note, your contract with the government forbids you to run private business unless relating to farming in most cases.

So, except you had declared owning a farm, becoming a billionaire from nairapool, or had inherited large sums which can be proven, you my friend are a common criminal.

What is a crime in having huge lodgement? From what is been peddled about the DSS has nothing concrete on this judges. It is not a crime for someone to have huge lodgements or for them not to have touched their salaries for a very long time.

I am sure most of these Judges have other investments like so many other Nigerians.Who relies on just one source of income in this country?

It is the responsibility of he who alleges to prove.The DSS must be able to prove the monies were proceeds of a particular corrupt activity. You don't take someone's money and ask him to prove he didn't get it through corruption, the law doesn't work that way.I am however sure the judges would be ready ti explain alternative sources of their income but the law expects the DSS to prove that the monies were sourced from corruption and not the other way round
. I disagree with you here ; DSS says the judges have got monies more than judges should, if the judges think they should have such monies then they should prove it. Besides, the DSS claim to have overwhelming evidences and petitions against the judges, so they should quietly go and at least hear and see those evidences and deny or defend themselves if they feel they are being lied against instead of hiding under NJC to shy away from the Justice they should be upholding. Abi dem de fear their own court room?

Knowledge is key.......Please do a research on Code of Conducts for Judges. Your research outcome will bring light into your understanding of the current issues about the allegedly corrupted judges.

" A corrupt judge is more harmful to the society than a mad man who runs amok with a dagger in crowded street. The latter can be restrained physically but a corrupt judge deliberately destroys the moral foundation of society and causes incalculable distress to individuals through abusing his office while still being refered to as honorable"

Don't tell us that Buhari does not know what and where he is going. If he likes, let him arrest all the supreme court judges, he is not fighting corruption. What he is doing is to have his way thereby trying to hide his incompetence. Even if he remove all the judges, come 2019 election will still removed him. If he likes, let him replace the courts with his Fulani lawyers and take them as the new Judges.
If Buhari knows what he is doing let him go after Amaechi who is the greatest and highest financier of Buhari election.
Until these apc big thieves are arrested no body will take Buhari serious. What he is ding is to scarter the system and make a repacement with his co-thieves and those who will give favour come 2019.

Meanwhile here is a copy of the search warrant for justice Ademola circulating online
what is the meaning of showing us the warrant? The question is whether this warrant was giving to those judges before the arrest? Even the so call monies were not shown in a tape may have been dropped by the dss.. Buhari will never succeed in his fake fight against the opponent. He will fail. If he likes let him remove all this jidges and replace them with his Fulani Judges against 2019 elections, he will be removed. The style adopted in the apc election will never succeed.

Two more judges were yesterday arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS), taking the number of judges so far picked up to nine.

Justices Bashir Sukola and Ladan Manir of the Kaduna State High Court, were arrested in Kaduna and taken to the DSS Headquarters in Abuja at about 8.30pm.

A top source said they were immediately taken in for interrogation.

Six other judges are under probe.

The DSS, it was learnt yesterday, has frozen the accounts of some of the judges under investigation.

In some of the accounts are “huge lodgments”, a source said yesterday.

The agency has received more petitions against the judges. Many of the petitioners, it was learnt, are willing to testify against them.

There were strong indications last night that the judges might be arraigned in court next week because the DSS has set a deadline in order not to extend the investigation of the judges beyond this week.

All of them are to face trial, the source said.
Under probe are two Supreme Court Justices – Sylvester Ngwuta and Inyang Okoro – the suspended Presiding Justice of the Court of Appeal, Ilorin Division, Justice Mohammed Ladan Tsamiya, who was picked up in Sokoto; Justice Adeniyi Ademola (Federal High Court); the Chief Judge of Enugu State, Justice I. A. Umezulike; Justice Kabiru Auta of Kano State High Court; and Justice Muazu Pindiga (Gombe State High Court).

The source, who spoke in confidence because he is not allowed to talk to the media about the investigation, said: “Some accounts have been frozen through orders of the court. This affects some of the judges. Not all of them.

“We found some huge lodgements that are questionable in some accounts and in addition to that we also observed the inflow of their salaries over a long period without them making any withdrawal at all.

“What that means is that they don’t live on their salaries at all. Those accounts have been frozen but as I said not all of the judges are affected.”


On why the judges were yet to be charged to court, the source added: “We are waiting for the action of the NJC. We expect the NJC to suspend them, otherwise it’s like taking a sitting judge to court.

“In the Service, when anybody is being investigated for any serious crime, the first thing we do is to place such a person on suspension.

“After the investigation, such a person would face trial and get dismissed from service on conviction and later face prosecution in the law court.”

Asked what will happen if they are not suspended, the source quipped: “The NJC does not have the luxury not to suspend them.

“We wrote the NJC on Monday but we haven’t received any response.”


There has been a rumour of a hot exchange of words between the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed and the Director-General of the DSS, Mr. Lawan Daura on Monday during a session with the President. “There was no such meeting,” the source said.

The secret service is said to have discovered that a governor, who is sympathetic to the judges, was behind the online publications against the DG of DSS.

The source said: “There is no truth in that at all. There was never such a meeting. The President does not even have such luxury of time.

“Maybe what they are referring to was the visit of the Chief Justice to the DSS headquarters on Sunday afternoon.

“The CJN paid a solidarity visit to the detained judges and expressed some concern. He probably saw the DG too when he learnt that he was in his office at the time of his visit.

“The CJN did not even know that they would be released on bail later that Sunday evening.

“We know it is the handwork of a governor to launch vitriolic media attacks on the DSS. We also know those being used. But Nigeria is greater than all.”

The source gave insights into more petitions being received against the judges by those described as “victims” of bribe.

He expressed confidence that the trial of the judges might begin next week because the DSS has set a timeline to conclude the investigation on or before the end of the week.

The source said: “We are almost through with investigation. The ongoing investigation is not supposed to go beyond this week.

“We have written the NJC about what has happened and we expect the NJC to take some decisions about the affected judges this week. Once that is done, hopefully by next week or thereabouts, we should arraign them in court.

“For now more facts in the form of petitions are coming in about the judges. It’s like everyone who has had cause to go to court for one reason or the other has been a victim.

“Some victims have even indicated their readiness to testify in court.”

The source added that contrary to insinuations, steps were taken to accord the seven judges arrested at the weekend the desired respect before their arrest and while they were in custody.

The sourced added: “Justice Ademola Adeniyi requested that his lawyer should be present before his residence could be searched.

“The counsel came, examined the search warrant and confirmed the validity of the warrant. He thereafter asked the judge to cooperate with the DSS team.

“Some of the judges also allowed their lawyers to witness the search of their homes.”

I like the war against corruption but just don't understand how this government is going about it. They appear to be fighting corruption in a corrupt manner. In a meeting yesterday among top government officials including the president, the CJN, director of DSS the CJN was said to have accused the director of DSS of coming to him alongside the minister of transport, Rotimi Amaechi to request the CJN to interfare on some cases on the ground the president was interest in those cases. Folks, is there a worse corruption than this? Using the name of Mr president to pervert the course of justice. How can you get justice when corrupt people are the ones fighting corruption?

Let him fight corruption holistically. Infact he should start from his party & his financiers. Then we will take him seriously. All he is doing are the attributes of a dictator who go after opposition once they attain power. With the way things are going I hope they don't plunge this nation into crises because I know they will manipulate the 2019 elections to maintain their grip on power.
