NgeneUkwenu, I understand the need to fight corruption but we have to be careful not to arrogate absolute power to the executive. Ideally, investigators are to Invite suspects or indictees (without saying the reason for invitation) and when those invited refused to honor the invitation, arrest becomes justified. Secondly, to search the house of a citizen first requires a Search Warrant. I heard that DSS obtained search warrant (from Newspaper) which I'm not in position to verify or otherwise, but the search warrant are to be executed between the hours of 6am and 6pm according to our laws. But like I said in one thread, we have to be careful. Anyway, let the legal fireworks begin |

TonyeBarcanista: If criminal and corrupt judges should be invited, then armed robbers, kidnappers, drug dealers must also be invited before being arrested. Are judges above the law or do they have immunity? What is good for the goose is good for the gander and no crime is greater than the order. A crime is a crime. Corrupt Judges have been arrested in US by FBI (capital of democracy) and in Ghana. Condoning corrupt judges in the name of democracy is a rap.e of democracy in itself. 6 Likes |

So our solution for fighting corruption is violating human rights and the independence of the judiciary!? Some of these so called nairaland heavyweights are shallow thinkers with mediocre philosophy |

SuperS1Panther: Mynd44:They should have reported to Judicial Council (NJC), the body saddled with the responsibilities of investigating and sanctioning erring judges. Not invading their homes and extrajudicially apprehending them , this is just an attempt to blackmail and intimidate the Judiciary. |

blueto:Does NJC have the power to arrest and prosecute? Is corruption not a crime against the State, Talkless of a Judge being corrupt. Has NJC ever prosecuted any corrupt judge before in this nation? Based on SR report of yesternight, DSS reported the judges to NJC. That was the reason some of them were ''merely'' sacked last week. If armed robbers, kidnappers and drug traffickers can be apprehended at any time of the day, a corrupt judge should actually be dragged on the floor at any time of the day.. A corrupt Judge is worse than Lucifer. 2 Likes |

modath:The danger many supporters of pmb fall into is that one can back him on the anticorruption fight today and the very next month,these same judges being accused get all charges dropped and they continue sitting and enjoying their loot. It's only a fool that wudnt know that almost all judges at each level that av sat over election cases are at least multimillionaires and some billionaires and that they got their wealth thru bought court judgements. Does it also take rocket science to know someone like Wike who had himself admitted to visiting the CJN did so to find ways of bribing? Judicial cleansing was one of the govt arms many expected PMB to have started his fight on;but the old man lost valuable time doing nothing and what happened?The judges became more emboldened and carefree in their ruling for hire biz.Bizzarre,contradictory and 24hr case filing,hearing and even typed,reproduced judgements,started flying up and down. I hope this one is for real and that the Fulani man won't raise our hopes,only to dash it,wen we all queue up behind him again in this most needed fight. 3 Likes 3 Shares |

SaharaReporters has learnt from sources at the Department of State Security (DSS) that the overnight raid on the residences of some nine court judges, culminating in the arrest of several of them, came as a result of petitions and decisions of the National Judicial Council (NJC), a statutory body that regulates the activities of judges. However, two Supreme Court justices, John Inyang Okoro and Sylvanus Ngwuta, w[b]ere arrested in connection with the receipt of bribes from Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State[/b]. Justice Ngwuta reportedly traveled to Qatar to receive bribes that he shared with Justice Okoro and other justices in order to help Mr. Wike to win a case at the Supreme Court regarding his disputed election. During a search of his home Justice Ngwunta was in possession of N35,208m, $319,475, 25,890 pounds and 280 Euros The two judges have been linked with massive properties development in Abuja and Calabar. Justice Okoro is said to be building seven houses simultaneously in Calabar with the help of former Governor Godswill Akpabio and his predecessor Udom Emmanuel in Akwa Ibom state. Justice Okoro had N4.35m, $38,833 and 1000 Euros in his possession during his arrest this morning. One of the most dramatic scenes took place when the DSS team stormed the home of Justice Adeniyi Ademola. When the team ordered Justice Ademola to come out, the judge claimed he was not home, but his cellphone signal gave him away. He was subsequently arrested with at least N300 million found in different local and foreign currencies in his bedroom. Specifically the same of N54m cash, $171,779. 4,400 Euros, 1,010 Rupees, and 80 pounds was found in his residence. 1 Like |
