Justice Okoro Vs Amaechi : Serap Raises 7 Questions For Njc by suasmablow(m): 11:07am On Oct 23, 2016 |
The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, (SERAP) has reacted to the bribery allegation of Justice Inyang Okoro against the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi. SERAP's reaction was contained in an open letter sent to justice Mahmud Mohammed, Chief Justice of Nigeria in his capacity as the Chairman of the National Judicial Council (NJC). The group is seeking explanations on what “he and the NJC knew or had reason to know regarding the report to them on 1st February, 2016 by Justice John Inyang Okoro, Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria on the alleged visit by Mr Rotimi Amaechi, Minister of Transportation to the official residence of Justice Okoro to allegedly discuss election Appeals in respect of Rivers State, Akwa Ibom State and Abia State.” In the letter signed by its executive director Adetokunbo Mumuni, SERAP posed the following seven (7) questions: 1. Is it correct to suggest that Justice Okoro reported to you and the NJC on 1st February, 2016 his alleged meeting at his official residence with Mr Rotimi Amaechi? Was Justice Okoro’s report documented by your Lordship and the NJC? If so, Nigerians would like to hear from your Lordship and the NJC whether Justice Okoro’s report was ever discussed, and what action, if any, was taken by your Lordship and the NJC to respond to the allegations raised in his report?” 2. Is it fair to suggest that your Lordship and the NJC knew, or had reason to know, that the alleged visit by Mr Amaechi to Justice Okoro’s official residence would constitute a case of political interference in the judicial system and a corruption offence under Nigerian laws and the UN Convention against Corruption to which Nigeria is a state party?” 3. After the alleged visit was brought to the attention of your Lordship and the NJC, did your Lordship and the NJC take any step to promptly and thoroughly investigate the matter further? 4. Would your Lordship and the NJC agree that the alleged visit to Justice Okoro’s official residence to discuss election Appeals has seriously undermined the public trust and confidence in the judiciary, and the image of the judiciary as the last hope of the common man?” 5. Is it correct to suggest that it is part of the inherent and implicit constitutional duties of the NJC to ensure that the judiciary as a whole does not lay itself open to the risk of political interference, manipulation and coercion to act in a certain way? Is it also correct to suggest that such duties require the NJC to promptly and thoroughly investigate allegations of political interference in the judicial system, that is, when those in political power allegedly use their influence to force or induce judges to act and rule according to their interests and not in accordance with the application of the law?” 6. Would your Lordship and the NJC accept that the alleged visit by Mr Amaechi to the official residence of Justice Okoro to allegedly discuss election Appeals was motivated, facilitated and encouraged by the apparent failure by the NJC to ensure, as part of its inherent and implicit constitutional duties: (1) that system was in place to ensure prompt and thorough investigation of allegations of political interference in the judicial system and where there is prima facie evidence, to refer such allegations to appropriate anti corruption commissions and agencies for further investigation and possible prosecution, in strict accordance with the standards of national laws and international law including the UN Convention against Corruption; (2) that any such system was operating in a continuous and effective manner?” 7. Would your Lordship and the NJC proceed to establish a system to ensure prompt and thorough investigation of allegations of political interference in the judicial system, and then ensure that through such system the alleged visit of Mr Amaechi to Justice Okoro’s official residence is promptly and thoroughly investigated by the NJC, and where there is prima facie evidence of political interference, that the matter is promptly referred to appropriate anti corruption commissions and agencies for further investigation and possible prosecution?” The letter ended by saying that “Nigerians are eagerly awaiting clarifications from your Lordship and the NJC on the issues raised above.” Recall that Justice Okoro had implicated Amaechi, Onu, Pastor Ukpong and Umana in his recent letter to the CJN.

He who alleges, Must Prove....Amaechi has nothing to do here...Justice Okoro should provide a documented eveidence where Amaechi Visited him, and letter he wrote to the Chief Justice informing of such a Visit..And The CJN should provide Nigerians the action he took, when such matter was "reported" to him.. 7 Likes 1 Share |

drshrewd:This is really funny. With all the heavy evidence that has been submitted against Amaechi. We even remember once Magu said no petition against APC stalwarts had been received by his agency (the EFCC). The next day, a petition against Amaechi stamped as received by the EFCC appeared and got circulated on the internet. Magu who was gleefully talking to the press the day before about receiving no petitions suddenly kept mute, and he has largely kept mute up till today concerning such issues. I think it is actually a shame. Anybody can say whatever they feel but the truth is that the public is seeing these things and it is painting the individuals involved in bad light. ............ Modified ............ I remember now that it was Reuben Abatti that posted the EFCC-stamped document the next day on twitter and it went viral. I now see part of the motivation for detaining him. He has just been released but his name has still not been mentioned in any corruption case. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

coolscott: [b] ;Dhahahaa I laugh in kankia. ![]() ![]() ![]() As regard to the other cock and bull story you are talking about. Ameachi presented the so called justice umereji led report to the senate during his screening pointing out that he was never indicted in the report and none could utter a word. ![]() the best governor my state will for ever miss check out this difference between him and the idiot we now have as governor Amaechi built hundreds of world class modern schools across the state. employed and train over 13,000 teachers to man the schools. Made it free of charge for the public providing books, school uniforms, sandals, and other kits free of charge to the students. wike the New Rivers came in and allow those beautiful schools to be overgrown by weeds and grasses, allowed the world class facilities in those school to rot, add a school fees of N11,000 lipsrsealed Amaechi built over a hundred health institution with world class facilities across the state. train and employed over 400 doctors to man them. made the institution absolute free of charge for the public. Wike came in relegated his predecessor's dream adding premium charges for services in those institution albeit allowing the facilities in the institution to decay Amaechi came in and give human capital development another meaning by Ramping the RSSDA activities to unprecedented level. sending hundred every year on scholarship in the best universities abroad. this he started in 2007 when he assume office___remember there was huge global recession during this period in addition to militancy activities and oil price was in all time low. Wike came, not only did he stopped it but he unceremoniously send all scholars abroad home with the guise that there is recession. Amaechi revolutionize the agro sector with his songhire farm initiative, several agro plantation such as banana plantation, cassava plantation, palm plantation, etc, fish farms, poultry, pigry, etc. wike came in instead of consolidating on these wonder exploits he instead he was hell bent on destroying them. the huge banana plantation in Tai was gutted by mysterious fire, the buguma fish farm abandoned, so also all other agro stride by Amaechi were destroyed___ no wonder the Agric commissioner in Rivers (93.7 Saturday talk of the town program) while on live Radio 2wks ago said she have no idea how much was budgeted for agriculture ministry shocked In terms of Infrastructure, before Amaechi came in there were barely any dualised state owned road with sub drainage system (just 2 without sub-drainage system.) Amaechi came and redefine road construction in Rivers State with expanded dualised roads, sub drainage system with pedestrian walk way. Wike came in and started doing open gutter with very low quality patched up roads sad Amaechi came and stopped the pervading rascality tax regime characterized by various levies such as matching ground, various permit (operational, stove, gas, TV, etc) spear headed by the so called Obio Akpor boys the home town of the present governor. Now that that one of the very boys is in the government house there is no name we have not heard in the guise of tax (effluence discharge__punished for using gen set, fire tax__can say a word undecided, development tax sad etc)[/b] 2 Likes |

It is left for them to prove their innocence in the court of law unlike the verbal way they are currently accusing the transport minister without any concrete evidence |

It is a pity to observe that SERAP is senile. Should have known that is of bribe is always in secrecy. When Apc bribed judges who imposed Aregbeshol, Fayemi and oshiomohle nothing spoil but when these set of judges refused to carry out Apc bidding buhari and daura result to invading their homes corruptly. Njc cannot be made to explain events between individual judge and corrupt ministers |
