DSS Offered Bribe, Threatened Me, Then I Was Sacked From Rivers Tribunal – Justi by IkennaNweke(m): 1:51pm On Feb 14, 2016 |
Justice Muazu Pindiga, the former chairman of the Rivers state governorship petitions tribunal who was removed under questionable circumstances has spoken up about the ordeal he went through just before he was dismissed as judge of the tribunal. According to Premium Times News, Pindiga availed that two weeks before he was dismissed, he was threatened.He also revealed that soon after, there was an attempt to bribe him and later on he was sacked. He said: “Two weeks before I was removed as chairman of the Tribunal, I got a call from an unknown number, asking for an appointment for us to meet in Kaduna. And I asked, what for? “And the caller said, it’s on a need to know basis. That the details of the meeting would be made known to me in Kaduna. And I declined. “The next was a call from the DSS, saying they were all expecting me at meeting in Kaduna. And demanded why I turned down the appointment. And I said, I’m a chairman of a Tribunal, and do not have the luxury to attend meetings. Especially one without an agenda. “And the caller from DSS said there was a petition of fraud against me, in a case I handled in Kaduna in 2009. And I asked him to charge me accordingly, in line with the extant laws. “I was called again by another caller; who apologised to me, on behalf of the DSS. And offered to compensate me for the harassment I received from the DSS, and rescheduled another meeting, in Kaduna. And I declined again. “And the next was a letter removing me as the Chairman of the Rivers State governorship petitions tribunal, and replacing me with Justice Ambrosa. As is the practice, I offered to brief Justice Ambrosa, on the proceedings so far, but he said that won’t be necessary that he has been following the case. “Now, on the judgement delivered by Justice Ambrosa; it will be unethical and unprofessional to denigrate, or condemn the judgement of a contemporary colleague. “However, the Supreme Court has said, that for an election to be annulled, the petitioner has to prove that elections didn’t hold at the polling units, where the winner was returned elected. And I’m not sure that the Ambrosa’s judgement arrived through that route,” he reportedly narrated in the Facebook post 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Serving judges, as a matter of professional conduct and ethics, do not grant interviews to the press. So this purported interview is a HOAX. PDP and Wike trying to justify the travesty that was the Supreme Court judgment on Rivers State. 2 Likes 1 Share |

BlackMerchant: I just had to quote your foolishness again. Was the justice not replaced? Was the tribunal not relocated from Rivers to Abuja? You partisan goat. When will you understand that politics is not like football where you stick to your useless relegation level club?

APCzombie: Naturally, I don't respond to trolls, not to talk of thrash but let me set the records straight for those who might be swayed by your ignorance: A judge does not grant interviews. It is a matter of professional conduct that can attract disciplinary measures against an erring judge. His Lordship, Pindiga, is a current judge. Even though he had a grouse with his removal as Chairman of the Tribunal, he cannot come out and speak to the press about this removal. Because he was not removed as a judge but a chairman of a tribunal, he still comes under the disciplinary field of the law profession. The highest he can do, should he want to vent his displeasure in a public manner, is to do that via a public lecture or during a valedictory session for a retiring judge, as the CJN recently did. Even at that, he can only make oblique references to the incident, not a direct reference to it, as the CJN did. As to whether the judgment of the tribunal was procured or not, that is left for anybody to believe or not to believe. It is not my business. My business is that the interview is a hoax and must not be disbelieved by reasonable people, except trolls. Shikena. |

Even if the Judge didn't speak up, the manner he was removed was so curious just like the reshuffling of Judges just because 3 of them had at different occasions granted bail to Dasuki and KANU. Now the govt had succeeded to install judges that will do their bidding. It is too obvious that APC is deceiving us. 6 Likes |

talktimi: Yes, it was, and it is being recirculated now after the Supreme Court judgment. When it first came out, I read it and I remembered that it was disputed at the time. Have you even wondered why the op did not cite a source or url of the interview? Because it is fake. |

BlackMerchant: The only fake thing here is your weak argument. You are hinging your straw man argument on the lame excuse that judges do not grant press interviews. That is a big lie as the. Press gag is reatricted to if a case is pending in court. The justice raised alarm after he was forced out of the case and this was long before the Supreme Court ruling. Did you even hear him comment on the proceedings? The judge only commented on circumstances surrounding him being relieved from the case Make you know henceforth that you are not talking to illiterate Tajus and adamus. 4 Likes |
