The NJC is the highest judicial authourity in the country!! It can suspend any Judge from sitting including the CCT chairman.

adaweezy:

Judicial authorities and seniority usually make a lower court step aside while a matter is being appealed at a higher court but that as changed as only the judgement can be suspended according to S305 of the ACJA

chukwudi44:


Nope dear!! It is called rule of law!! The stupid CCT chairman should just wait for the supreme court to adjudicate on the matters of jurisdction!! What exactly is he in a hurry for?

cornoil:
Yeah Saraki could be guilty no doubt, but the CCT judge is not following the way it has always been with when a matter is in supreme Court, the lower court has to wait or respect the higher court. Saraki could as well lose in Supreme Court, why is CCT judge in haste?

[s]There is nothing like time been wasted under the law dear!!! Judicial regulations stipulates that the CC should suspend the trial until the supreme court finally adjudicates on the matter!!!An inferior court cannot br sitting side by side with the supreme court !! That is judicial rascality of the highest order!! I hope the NJC descends heavily on the CCT chair!! We cant have such compromised men manning our benches.[/s]

The argument is that they don't know when the Supreme court will rule hence time will be wasted but if the CCT continues with the trial, they can give a judgement and stay the judgement until the Supreme Court give judgement which is in order.

20pounds:



That will amount to an affront on the judiciary.

I don't want to know whether Saraki is guilty or not, but the CCT is really stting a bad precedent and I congratulate the SANs for having the courage to walk out on him. We need to preserve the sanctity and independence of the Jusdiciary.

Why is the CCT in a hurry to proceed to trial? Even a first year Law student knows that the right thing to do is for the CCT to suspend actions during the pendency of the matter at the apex Court. I am sure their Lordships at the Supreme Court are very angry with the CCT for such disposition, but if they come down hard on Justice Umar, the public(who are ignorant of the law) will say the Justices of the Supreme Court had been compromised.

Can you now see how external influence impedes the wheel of Justice?

agabusta:


But why are u guys castigating the CCT chairman as planned by Saraki's media team??

The CCT chairman did not give his ruling from abstraction. He relied on an updated Nigerian law which says such trial can go on!

Just that if a judgement emanates from it, it will not be executed until the higher court dispense the issues before it.

This from Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015.

How come you guys are overlooking this and heaping loads of criticisms on the Chairman.

The defence of Saraki knows this! They are just trying to intimidate the CCT, appeal to the emotions of people not having deep knowledge of the law and entirely frustrating that case on technicalities and not the substantive issue.

bensonlee770:
This is a ploy to frustrate and intimidate the CCT Chairman.
Saraki definitely knows he is guilty of the allegations against him.
Nobody is above the Law.
It is high time Saraki submitted himself to trial and cleared his name.

When the Rivers state elections tribunal moved to Abj, Wike went to appeal court and subsequently to the supreme court. Did the tribunal stop their proceedings?
