Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa (SAN), a Lagos-based legal practitioner and human rights activist on Thursday said judges must be careful not to subject themselves to public ridicule over some pronouncements they make especially as regards political matters.

In a chat with DAILY INDEPENDENT, Adegboruwa, while reacting to the ruling by Federal High Court In Kano which set aside a ruling of the FCT High Court suspending the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole said courts of coordinate jurisdiction issuing inconsistent orders on the same subject matter is worrisome.

His words “I just believe that the judiciary needs to tread cautiously in respect of political matters because of the wrong impression that it is creating in the minds of the general public. When you approach a court and you can get an injunction in one day.

You can file an appeal and the appeal can be heard in one day; when we lawyers who come to court know that ordinarily, it takes two weeks before you even assign a case. And for an appeal to be heard can take up to two months in the ordinary cases.

“So, I believe that courts of coordinate jurisdiction issuing different and inconsistent orders in respect of the same subject matter are opening up the judiciary to ridicule and it should be avoided.

“I have not seen the details of these orders but if is true that one court restrained him and another reinstates him in respect of the same case, it is quite very worrisome. Our judges must be very careful not to expose themselves to undue public ridicule.”

Shari'a jurisprudence is the new legal framework.

Daily Independent should not go to only Adegoruwa (a known anti-Oshiomhole and Asiwaju) should as well go to Obasike and Fayemi for interpretation of the law. Awon oloribu!
