….demands increase of S-Court Justices to 21 By Ikechukwu Nnochiri ABUJA—–The Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Wednesday, urged President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure that his fight against corruption is conducted within the ambit of the law. NBA which is the umbrella body of legal practitioners in the country, decried what it termed over-zealousness by security agencies currently engaged in the prosecution of alleged corrupt persons, who it said had by their conduct, exhibited little regard for the due process of the law. The National President of the association, Mr. Augustine Alegeh, SAN, who spoke at a valedictory court session that was held in honour of Justice Muhammad Muntaka-Coomassie who bowed out of the Supreme Court bench upon clocking the 70 years mandatory retirement age, bemoaned that recently, “security operatives moved inside a court room to arrest a suspect”. “We wondered why they could not wait for the person to step out of the court before executing the arrest. While we commend the ongoing effort to rid the nation of corruption, what we are saying is that the fight must be conducted within the law. ”The NBA does not condone corruption, our point is that the war can be conducted within the armbit of the law and civility. “Certainly, it can be won without breaching the principles of rule of law upon which our democracy is built”, the NBA President added. On the issue of corruption within the Judiciary, the NBA, acknowledged that there are “bad eggs” within the bar and the bench, saying it will henceforth, “petition any Judicial Officer involved in or suspected to be involved in any Corrupt or fraudulent transaction to the appropriate quarters for action”. Alegeh said: “The NBA condemns in its entirety the generalisation and/or categorization of the Judiciary as being corrupt and an impediment to the zero corruption policy of the present administration. “While acknowledging that there may be a few bad eggs in the system, the NBA restates unequivocally that the categorization of the entire Judiciary as corrupt is a misconception and will stand solidly behind the Judiciary in any attempt to intimidate or harrass its personnel. Besides, the legal body used the opportunity to call for an increase of Supreme Court Justices to 21, in line with the provisions of section 230(2)(b) of the 1999 constitution, as amended.It noted that the retirement of Justice Muntaka-Coomassie Wednesday has further reduced the number of Justices of the apex court to 15. In his valedictory speech, Justice Muntaka-Coomassie, called for more funding for the Judiciary, even as he advocated for more respect for the office of the Chief Justice of Nigeria during government functions. On his part, the CJN, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, extolled the virtues of Justice Muntaka-Coomassie who he said rendered thirty-eight years of meritorious service to the Judiciary. source: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/02/you-must-fight-corruption-within-armbit-of-law-nba-tells-buhari/ 1 Like |

Truth is Buhari feels the fight against corruption will be slow if the law is followed,hence his resort to some pattern perceived as dictatorial. Wot he feels is that the law provides a shield for the corrupt, but I WS never like DAT wen I WS in Asorock. Sooner than Later he will be overwhelmwd by what I saw while I was at Aso rock.

When the custodians of the law are corrupt. To some extend some of our law might not be necessary in combating corruption. Imagine someone stole billions and he was granted bail of less than a million. Gerrarahia mehhnn!!! |

I belong to NBA, but sincerely, they are not worthy to advice the President or the Law Enforcement or how to fight corruption. A Senior Advocate of Nigeria was arrested for a criminal offence with damning revelations from Sahara Reporters and NBA is yet to commence disciplinary proceedings. NBA criticised the Senators for accompanying Saraki to tribunal but is supporting it's SANs who accompanied an accused Tarfa to court. I pray EFCC investigates NBA soon. All the practicing fees I have been paying needs to be vomited by the yam eaters. God Bless GMB 2 Likes |

“security operatives moved inside a court room to arrest a suspect”.. Tonyebarcanista i read one of ur use.less articles when i haven't registered,where u said "Dasuki and Kanu" where "simply re-arrested" after they were granted bail,in ur bid to exhibit ur usual 'crapy' psuedo-intellectual supernova and defend Buharis uselessness and lawlessness.

Clean your dirty house first and quit crying. Disgusting unpatriotic thieves and enablers.. Sadly, the judiciary is our last defense against looters, but with bad judiciary, we are doomed forever. |
