NOW THAT SUPREME COURT HAS REVERSED ITSELF OVER SARAKI - IT'S OVER TO GOD!

The First Supreme Court Judgment!

On Friday, 5th February, 2016, the Supreme Court's Seven-man Panel, presided over by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, unanimously ruled in its judgment that Saraki's appeal against the jurisdiction of the CCT and the competence of the charges, lacked merit. Justice Walter Onnoghen, who delivered the lead judgment, dismissed all Saraki's seven grounds of appeal, affirming that the charges instituted against him were valid and that the tribunal was validly constituted with requisite jurisdiction to try him!

The Second Supreme Court Judgement - Two Years Later!

On Friday, 6th July, 2018, the Supreme Court of Nigeria deliver another judgement which favoured Saraki and finally put the criminal against case to permanent REST! The learned judges unanimously dismissed the false assets declaration charges against him before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), and vacated an earlier Court of Appeal's judgement which ordered the defendant to return and face three of the initial 13 counts at the lower court!

IF SARAKI HAD BEEN FOUND GUILTY!

The specified punishment which the Code of Conduct Tribunal may impose on a person convicted of charges of false declaration of assets and other related offences under the Fifth Schedule, Part I, Section 18(1) (2) (a)(b)(c) are as follows:

(1) Vacation of office or seat in any legislative house as the case may be,

(2) Disqualification from membership of a

any public office for a period not exceeding ten years, and

(3) Seizure and forfeiture to the State of any property acquired in abuse or corruption of office and

(4) 18 (3-7) which state that the sanctions mentioned above shall be without prejudice to the penalties that may be imposed by any law where the conduct is also a criminal offence.

(5) That guilty persons shall have right of appeal but that nothing shall prejudice the prosecution of such officer or preclude him/her from being prosecuted for an offence in a court of law and that

(6) the provisions of the Constitution relating to prerogative of mercy shall not apply to any punishment imposed in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 18(1-7).

Legislators are empowered to make laws for the peace, order and good government of the Federation and not to contradict the Constitution according to Section 4 ((9)!
"Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow" Isa 50:11(KJV).
THY WILL BE DONE IN NIGERIA AS IT IS IN HEAVEN O LORD!
