Lawyers Avoid Some Courts Due To Corrupt Judges, Says SAN by LocalChamp: 1:45pm On Oct 14, 2016 |
Posted By: Joseph Jibueze on: October 13, 2016 A Senior Advocate of Nigerian (SAN) Mr Jibrin Okutepa, yesterday said some lawyers avoid taking their cases to some courts because of corrupt judges. He said those condemning the mode of arrest of two Supreme Court justices, a Federal High Court judge and others ignored the substance. Okutepa said: “When justice is bought and sold, there is no more hope for the society. What our society needs is an honest, trusted and trustworthy judiciary. Those of us who genuinely practice in our courts know what goes on in some courts. “Some of us don’t go to some judges’ courts, not because we don’t like doing our jobs, but because it appears you don’t know the law in some of these courts. The language of the judgment depends on what is offered and not the settled principle of law. “While I will always defend the judiciary, it will be difficult to offer the best of defence in favour of a judicial officer whose conduct and lifestyle suggests evidence of corruption. “It is my thinking that we need to decide and come to agreement on what we want as a people. Do we want undiluted and unpolluted stream of justice? Then we must have judicial officers who are above board.” According to him, a corrupt judge is a danger to the society, adding that lawyers must join hands to rid the judiciary of graft rather than shying away from the real issues. He said: “I am really bothered as to why we devoted arguments on the propriety or otherwise of the method used by DSS to expose corruption on the part of some judges of our superior courts. “I am not in position to say these gentlemen did or did not do what they were accused of. I am also not in a position to say the money recovered was theirs or planted. “But I am in a position to be worried as to why it had to be them that money was planted on. I am worried that we talk more of the process used to let the Nigerian public know that all is not well. Have we all not agreed that all is not well?” http://thenationonlineng.net/lawyers-avoid-courts-due-corrupt-judges-says-san/ 25 Likes 2 Shares

Am in total agreement to this logomaki.. However the fight against corruption must not only be done but must be seen to be done.. We can't keep starting things and refuse to finish them.. We all know its not easy to fight corruption on a full scale but when he have a clean judiciary which happens to be the last hope on earth for the masses.. We know we are heading somewhere at least #CORRUPTIONnotINmyCOUNTRY.. 4 Likes |

Before DSS-sympathetics realign this to suit their purpose, note that he beckoned on 'lawyers' like himself to resolve the situation. Not that what he is saying is strange though. It is hard to see a judge who doesn't favour certain lawyers; with or without the exchange of bribe. What do lawyers call it: 'favour bank' right? So, the degree and openess of it is what really makes it a crime, not its existence. It is everywhere. 1 Like |

They are gradually coming out to speak up. Whether the Wailing Chimps like it or not, the system MUST be cleansed. When they get their country, if they ever do, let them make the Albino Monkey in kuje its president, and Dasuki its SSG, and all the criminals indicted by EFCC major stakeholders, that is their business- this is Nigeria's business. 16 Likes 2 Shares |
