Clueless lazy government always putting the cart before the horse. They probably carried the whole thing out to raise money, scare the judges or in a move to plant new APC judges in the courts. I won't be surprised to hear that the whole thing was stage managed. Its a pity |

lookmangiw: I think u miss his point. Corruption or bribery as this case is involves many parties. It takes two to complete a bribe transaction. If u picked up d judges, who gave d bribe? If the people who gave d bribe are not part of this sting operation, what is d big evidence? I also pointed somewhere that for there to be a bribe, there must be a case. What is the case and who paid d bribe? The law is tricky and considering it has gone indefinite, he has a point. Confusion has entered. 2 Likes |

ZanyABC:God will surely preserve that beautifull mind of yours.Nigerians are just too emotional when they hear the word CORRUPTION,and our security officers know this and they use it to fool the nation.DSS and EFCC are terrible investigators that is why they cannot convict anyone for corruption because they lack the intellectual ability to search deep for evidence. 1 Like |

ZanyABC: this was my position on this and as usual. people called me brown envelop writer. well for this nicely crafted position THE JUDGES' ABDUCTION AND THE PUERILE LIES FROM THE DSS: Regardless of your political affiliation, if you have any stake in the country called Nigeria, last Friday night's abduction of Judges of the High Court, Appeal Court and Supreme Court by Operatives of the Nigeria Secret Police known as the DSS over allegation of corruption should give every Nigerian a cause for concern. The barbaric manner the whole operation was conducted suggests that rather than an attempt to cleanse the judiciary of corrupt Judges, it was a clear case of vendetta by the Muhammadu Buhari-led executive arm of the government against another independent arm. A betting man would bet that this is nothing but a ploy to get back at some judges who have given unfavourable judgements against the APC like in the elections petition cases, the DSS as in the case of Nnamdi Kanu where Justice Ademola ordered the DSS to release the IPOB leader unconditionally and the Executive arm of government in general like the ongoing corruption cases where judges have refused to do Buhari's bidding of jailing suspects even without enough evidence. Personally, I am not even pained by the actual act of breaking the doors to the houses of sitting Judges and abducting them in the middle of the night as much as I am pained by the moronic, imbecilic, idiotic and puerile defense put up by the DSS as justification for their action. If the DSS guys had not insulted our intelligence further with that trash they released in the name of press statement to justify their action, I would have just taken this as just another of Mr Buhari's tyranny. But no, the DSS had to prove they actually think our brains are all in recession by releasing that bundle of badly constructed, terribly packaged puerile lies known as press statement. Let's look at the so called defense put up by the DSS: First, they said it was a sting operation, yet, thesame DSS claimed the affected Judges have been previously invited to their offices and questioned. I am putting it to the DSS that it is either they do not know the meaning of a sting operation or they think we, Nigerians, do not know the meaning. For avoidance of doubt, a sting operation is a deceptive operation aimed at catching a person in the act of committing a crime. It usually involve a law enforcement officer or a cooperative member of the public posing as a criminal partner or a potential victim to the targeted 'suspect' with a view to encouraging the target to go on with the criminal act so he could be caught in a red-handed position committing the crime. This method is commonly used by the FBI with recorded audio and video evidence of the said target committing the said crime. There are two things we need to take out here: One is that it is designed primarily to catch the target in the act of committing the said crime with more than enough audio and video evidence such that even if you were to allow the suspect try himself as the judge, he will have no choice but to convict himself due to the volume of watertight evidence at your disposal. And two, the targets are never aware that they are even under investigation. If you tip the target off by inviting him for questioning before or in the middle of the sting operation, you will have defeated the purpose of the operation as such a target will now take extra measures to cover his track having known you are now on his trail. From the above, it can be deduced that it is either the DSS were lying to themselves or they were lying to us. Either way, they were not being honest when they claimed the illegal arrest of the Judges was part of a sting operation and still claimed the judges had been previously invited for questioning in their offices. Does it not strike anyone as odd that the DSS claimed to have surveilled those judges for months, yet, they ended up raiding the wrong house and beating up an innocent man before realising the warrant they had was for another house?? Also in that press statement, the DSS claimed that the unnamed Portharcourt Judge had $2million in his house even when they clearly stated that the River state governor, Nyesom Wike and his group prevented them (the DSS) from gaining access to the Judge's house and later moved the money. You are the DSS. You came to Portharcourt to arrest a judge in a Gestapo style at an ungodly hour. The governor being the chief security officer of the state mobilized people and stopped you from carrying out your roguery. You were denied access to the Judge's house. Yet, somehow, you still knew the judge had $2m in his house which was later moved by the governor and "a sister agency" (the police) according to you. This is the 8th wonder of the world! How did the DSS manage to count the money to know it was $2m since they were prevented from entering the house?? Quite frankly, this would be fantastically funny if it wasn't such a crying shame. It takes a man whose brain has been in recession from birth to believe these puerile lies from the DSS. Since the DSS which is statutorily in charge of crimes and actions bothering on national security has become the EFCC responsible for corruption cases, when is the agency moving against President Buhari's chief of staff; Abba Kyari who allegedly collected N500million bribe to help MTN reduce their fine?? When will the DSS conduct another sting operation against the SGF who used 270million just to cut grasses growing around hunger-ravaged malnourished IDPs?? Or has the DSS not heard those cases? No amount of sophistry will obliterate the fact that the action of the DSS is criminal. You don't invade people's homes in the middle of the night, break their doors as though you were a criminal gang, subject their innocent wives and children to emotional trauma before abducting them only to start bandying around outrageous and mind-blowing figures as the amount you recovered from the criminal operation and expect Nigerians to roll out the drum for you. You cannot break one law to enforce another law. You cannot knowingly break the law and hope that mentioning earthquakic figures will blind us to your thuggery. It doesn't work that way. Luckily for me, I don't even have a door. So if they come to abduct me, they won't see any door to break neither will they see any brother to manhandle. Democracy is all about procedures. There are laid down Procedures in handling cases of corruption cases involving Judges. The judiciary is an independent arm of govt. As the DSS, you are a branch of the Executive. If you have a case against any judge, you petition the NJC. It is the NJC that will look into the matter and if it deems your case credible enough, it will retire that judge compulsorily and recommend him/her for prosecution. That is only when you the DSS or the police can institute criminal proceedings against the said Judge. The biggest tragedy in all of these is hearing some so called youths utter garbage like, "what is a judge doing with $2m in his house?" Those mentally slow intellectually malnourished simpletons have not seen any $2million ooo. They just heard the DSS say it and that is all. No proof that any money was even recovered and was actually recovered from those judges. All we have is the word of the DSS and nothing more. Yet, those intellectually kwashiorkored youths are already jumping up and down calling for the heads of those Judges. These are the same gullible lots who believed 90million pounds was recovered from Diezani Allison Madueke, Billions of naira recovered from a soakaway pit in the house of one service chief, another billions recovered from ex governors in Dubai and yet another billions upon billions of naira recovered from looters but before the eyes of these gullible youths, thesame govt that claimed to have recovered all these monies is now crying that the country is broke. How gullible can some people be?? This govt knows we have so many gullible youths who would swallow anything hook, line and sinker as long as they hear "corruption" and "billions" or "trillions". So after hearing the condemnation that trailed their action, the DSS quickly went to their coven and came back with their normal line of, "We recovered so so and so billions of naira and millions of dollars in the houses of these judges". Supposedly well lettered adults want me to believe that learned Justices of the highest court in the land would be so dumb to collect bribe from politicians in hard currencies and still leave those monies in their houses even when they were supposed to know the DSS was on their trail having previously invited them for questioning as claimed by the Agency. Honestly, some people need to have their certificates withdrawn and the awarding institutions sanctioned. While you are celebrating this idiocy, just pause and ask yourself: If Justices of the Supreme Court can be humiliated in this manner by the DSS just on mere suspicion, what kind of treatment do you think you, an ordinary man will get from thesame DSS?? Just so we are clear, no one is saying there is no corruption in the judiciary or that corrupt judges should not be prosecuted. All I am saying is that this particular operation by the DSS doesn't seem like an operation against corrupt Judges. The Buhari administration should stop trying to fool us with the sham that is the anti-graft war. When this government wants to fight corruption, we will know. For now, I have enormous reasons to believe justifiably that this government is still aiding and abetting corruption by friends, families and close associates of president Buhari. Who released ex-governor Timipre Sylva's 148 houses to him after withdrawing all corruption cases against him simply because he donated generously to Buhari's Presidential campaign?? Who defended General Buratai after SaharaReporters exposed his Dubai properties?? Who aided and abetted stint illegal recruitments into CBN, FIRS etc?? Who is protecting Justice Okon Abang?? C'mmon, we are no fools! When this hurricane that is the Buhari-led APC government wants to fight corruption, we will know. For now, he is doing a great job destroying all the critical institutions upon which Democracy has been built. Gradually, Buhari is making Tyrants like Idi Amin, Adolf Hitler and others look like saints. Even Stalin's Russia wasn't this bad!!! The legislature has since been bullied into submission. Now it is the turn of the Judiciary. Perhaps, when he is done destroying the two arms of government that are supposed to checkmate his tyranny, he will now proceed to running the country like a full-blown dictatorship. I have said it before and it bears repeating now, the glory of democracy is fading away with the unpopular policies of Muhammadu Buhari as the President of Nigeria. People are dying of sufferings and miseries, and God Almighty would judge you and I for continue to pretend about the pains Nigerians are cruelly undergoing. Argue all you want, lie to yourself if it makes you feel better, call me prophet of doom if that will help cure the economic recession just like your mental recession, but the truth remains that, this country will never survive Buhari's 4 year tenure if we continue on the part of self-destruct by refusing to insist on quality Democratic Tenets and Dividends and speaking truth to our government. This is less than 2years of this administration but all we have achieved is sinking sands of Recession. Ask yourself, if it is this bad when we have not even reached half of his 4 year term, how will it be by the time we get to 2019? Perhaps by the end of Buhari's 4 year term in 2019, if we all don't die of hunger before then, we might be too weak trying to afford one 'unsquare' meal a day that we won't even have the strength to ask Buhari to respect our laws. May God Almighty continue to Bless Nigeria and may Buhari take corrections so that we can succeed as a Nation. Patriotism is the act of voting in a Government and helping it to succeed by holding it accountable for the Security and Welfare of the State; that is what I am purposed to serve. May Buhari Succeed Rightfully. 6 Likes |

ZanyABC: And almost 200 people liked this crap you put up? Well, most of your country is made up of very backwards people so, of course, they think you just dropped some serious knowledge. Of course video and audio evidence would've been perfect, but bearing in mind that sophistication in simple things like criminal investigation is something your country lacks, other forms of evidence will do perfectly well to attain a conviction. One of those somethings is called "CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE". Meaning: The Judges will have to explain how they came about such sums if it is not commensurate with their declared earnings/tax returns/asset declarations. Do you know how many of your brothers (when I was a Federal Prosecutor) I sent to Prison for eons even though they were never caught on wire taps, video, or even had an atom of Heroin or Credit Card in their possession? TONS!!! Simple things like: "Why were you in Ghana at so and so time? The Government alleges, based on its investigation-that you went there to receive bribes- prove to us that wasn't why you went go to Ghana". Remember that huge sums, vehicles, and choice properties have been recovered; how do the Judges explain away their acquisitions? In other Nations, this would be a slam dunk case and a few of the Judges would have taken the honorable way out and committed suicide. But this is Nigeria we're talking about after all. A country where crime, deceit, lies and theft is an accepted part of the culture like killing innocent people when a local chief passes away. Nigerians are so smart theyre incredibly stu*pid. 1 Like 1 Share |

The trial of seven suspected corrupt judges earlier slated for today has been shifted till next week. The shift, according to top security officials involved in the matter, is to attend to new information thrown up by aggrieved litigants, who claimed that they lost huge sums of money to the suspects. The source disclosed that since the suspects were arrested and their names made public by the Department of State Service, DSS, aggrieved victims of the suspects’ financial misdeeds had been coming forward with stunning revelations against them.” The agency said it could not overlook the new evidence being volunteered by Nigerians against the suspects and would only arraign them after going through the new petitions brought against the judges. One of the top officials said: “We are almost through with the investigation of the judges. The ongoing investigation is not supposed to go beyond this week. “We have written the National Judicial Council, NJC, about what has happened and we expect it to take some decisions on the affected judges this week. “Once that is done, hopefully, by next week or thereabout, we should arraign them in court. For now, more facts in the form of petitions are trickling in about the judges. It’s like everyone who had cause to go to court for one reason or the other had been a victim. “More facts are trickling in and we cannot ignore them. It is our statutory responsibility to investigate painstakingly, every complaint. Some victims have even indicated their readiness to testify in court. “We assure the public that we will do a thorough job. We are investigating all the properties linked to them. “The kind of things we observe as regards the forms they submitted to the Code of Conduct Bureau is another kettle of fish. NJC keeps mum Meantime, NJC rounded-off the emergency meeting it convened over the arrest of the judges, last night. Vanguard learned, last night, that though the Council has fully deliberated on the matter, it decided to keep mum until, today. A source said: “There is rumour that they might be arraigned before the end of the week, possible tomorrow (today). I believe that is what has delayed release of NJC’s position on the issue.” 1 Like |
