Actually, the judge has the power to sentence him. The ACJA empowers the elevated judge to sit on this part heard criminal matter. Thus, a high court judge that has been elevated to Appeal court can conclude on cases he was already handling as a judge of the high court.
This is an inferior law to the constitution

Supreme court judges are no longer reliable. Nobody argued whether he stole the money or not, they just got paid to focus on technicalities bordering on jurisdiction to set him free.
Fighting corruption indeed.


He wasn't set free. His conviction was nullified and fresh trials ordered.

Supreme Court order for retrial.
He has not been acquitted. He is to start his trial afresh.
He still have cases to answer. The emphasis is necessary.

There's a very big chance that he'll walk free this time around. Why should his conviction be nullified for such trivial technicalities?

Stop deceiving yourself; nobody gets the position of a Nigerian president on a platter

The Yorubas were compensated in Obasanjo because MKO Abiola didn't get a chance to rule when his election was anuled

Niger Delta ex-militants blew up many pipelines in their region to snag a spot at the presidency. Later, Jonathan was controversially booted out.

Nigeria's north used insurgency to undermine the system and get compensated in the person of Buhari. Today, the region is still trying to recover from the ruins.

My point is, you have to pay a price to get that position. If the Igbos don't build intertribal bridge, stop feeling like superhumans, cease the agitation for secession and end online name callings, the quest to get a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction will remain a mirage.

Till then..

By saying he is innocent. Basically he is entitled to compensation worth billions & d FG would have to pay it.
LOL.
The court didn't exonerate him, they just nullified the sentence because the judge who passed it was not permitted to operate at the Federal High Court - in which the judgement was delivered. the case is still active, but has to be presided over by another eligible justice.

But Sha na Naija we dey!!

SC technically freed OUK. The retrial would be a mere formality. OUK is in the good books of the powers that be, and will be very relevant in APC's bid to gain grounds in the SE.

So not that he was not guilty of the crime but he was freed because of technicality. The TV series Suits need to come learn from the thieves we call judges here.

There is a fact in what he is saying.
The IPOB has been a menace to Nigerian government. They have to be nipped in the bud. The owners of Nigeria may want to give the presidency to the igbos.

There most loyal servant in the South East are Orji Uzor Kalu and Rocha's Okorocha.
This two are completely loyal to the caliphate. That's why IPOB don't use eye see them.


The owners of Nigeria is Northern Nigeria, whether you like it or not. They are the most beneficial of Nigeria.
And they know how to control power. They have the population to install anyone.
Southern Nigeria has no direction, they are not united, and they have Les votes compared to the North.

If the North throws there weight behind there servants in the East. No part of Nigeria can stop that person from winning.

And mind you. The North is very very careful of who occupies that seat. They guard it very jealously. Only who they trust they give power to.

I don't doubt it.

Read the bolded part below. The court didn't say he's not guilty.

Justice Eko explained that the declaration was on the ground that Justice Mohammed Idris was already a Justice of the Court of Appeal, as at the time he delivered the judgment sentencing the appellants.

He held that a Justice of the Court of Appeal cannot operate as a judge of the Federal High Court.

The apex court, therefore, ordered the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court to reassign the case for trial.
