Guess his tribe and win a prize.

ndcide:
Mchweew. It's as if this people don't want us to fight corruption.

If we don't kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria. Only the corrupt should worry. After all, no body came to the houses of the group SAN who issued this press release.

onomeasike:
Akuko. Ghana did it and their judiciary is not even as terrible as ours. Every corrupt judge should be killed by firing squad
No person let alone a corrupt judge is above the law.

LordVarys:
The Nigerian Bar Association on Saturday declared a state of emergency in the judiciary following the midnight arrest of some judges by the Department of State Services.

The declaration of the state of emergency was made on Saturday evening in Lagos by the NBA President, Abubakar Mahmoud (SAN).

Mahmoud addressed the press alongside four past presidents of the association – Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN), Dr. Olisa Agbakoba (SAN); Mr. J.B. Daudu (SAN) and Augustine Alegeh (SAN).



Others in attendance at the declaration, which held at Eko Hotel, Victoria Island, were Prof. Kayinsola Ajayi (SAN), Mr. Yusuf Ali (SAN), Mr. Dele Adesina (SAN), among others.

[b]Mahmoud said two Supreme Court justices, Inyang Okoro and Sylvester Ngwuta were “abducted”, with their families, adding that he had yet to have the full detail of other judges who could have been involved.

Mahmoud said the NBA condemned what it termed the Gestapo-style operation of the DSS.
He announced the constitution of an emergency or crisis management team, comprising past NBA presidents to engage with the government.

Mahmoud, who said it was not the responsibility of the DSS to arrest judges, described the DSS action as an unconstitutional means of intimidating the judiciary and undermining its independence.

The NBA President called on President Muhammadu Buhari to order the immediate release of the arrested judges, vowing that there would be consequences should the demand be ignored.

Mahmoud said, “I want to emphasise again that we are not under military rule and we cannot accept this unholy event and Gestapo-style operation.

“We, therefore, call on President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately caution all the  state security agencies and to respect the rule of law and to respect due process.

“Any issues affecting the judicial officers, there are established procedures for handling them and we demand that this constitutional process must be obeyed.

“Given the unfolding nature of the event and the seriousness of the situation, the NBA hereby declares a state of emergency as it affects the affairs of the judiciary and I hereby constitute a crisis management team, comprising all past presidents of the association.

“I want to, on behalf of the association, make the very following clear and unequivocal demands: we demand the immediate and unconditional release of all the judges abducted from about 9pm yesterday (Friday).

“The release must be done immediately and without any conditions. Two, we demand that the Department of State Services should limit itself to its statutory and constitutional responsibilities.

“I’ll be meeting with the CJN later tonight or tomorrow. There will be consequences should these demands are not met.”[/b]

Grundig:
As a respected SAN I'm surprised that VP osinbajo is keeping schtum!

Shouldnt he be working with the attorney general and advising tbe president on tbe best way to tackle issues?

I'm beginning to think osinbajo and namadi sambo are birds of same feather........sidon looks!

A very serious thing like this is not yet on Front Page but a useless APC, PDP Tugs story wit only 4 commenters is already on front page? Smh

As for those hailing the unforgivable act of DSS abduction of Supreme Court Jugdes which is the greatest act of impunity ever committed by the state agents. Make una continue, d fire wey una dey fan go one day consume all of una

TheGoodJoe:


What are people like you saying about the open support of corruption by the NJC? You guys are more bothered about the DSS arresting your Judges with bribe money in their possession, instead of fuming at the gross corruption in the Judiciary.


BAFFLING.

The SSS initially submitted parts of its findings to the regulatory body, the National Judicial Council. Officials said the SSS moved in after the council merely recommended two of the judges for retirement, and not prosecution.

The council also refused to cooperate with the SSS as the agency launched wider investigations into the cases for more evidence. The source explained that judges whose homes were raided include Adeniyi Ademola, and Nnamdi Dimgba of the Federal High Court in Abuja as well as Sylvester Ngwuta and John Okoro of the Supreme Court.

You are a stark illiterate and don't ever mention me in your life if you no nothing about how society runs. Go and get a copy of your laws and safe yourself from ignorance you blind and gullible fellow. Society thrives when laws are respected and not violated to punish alleged violators else it breeds anarchy.

Fvck off my mention you nitwit and poorly educated fellow

Izonpikin:
oboy...e go make sense ooo

drss:
i tell u

TheGoodJoe:


I will mention you for all I care. As a smart educated man who knows the rule of law, what part does a judge found with bribe money in his bed room account to the rule of law.

Abuse me for all I care. I wonder how an educated man who calls another illiterate goes around abusing.

egbonnla:
All of us (Wailers and Zombies) should be worried about the recent recklessness and lack of respect for the rule of law on part of he executive. We should not allow sentiments to becloud our sense of reasoning. The Judiciary is an independent arm of government and the last hope of the common man. Granted some few judges may be corrupted but the constitution has provided ways of treating cases of corrupted judges. The executive should have reported such judges to National Judicial Committee. The judges can then be prosecuted by the police if they are found guilty of criminal acts by NJC.
If we allow the Executive to muzzled the Judiciary, the president may become a dictator who can do any thing and get away with it. Our collective freedom may be taken....
