Revelations are pouring in about our justice is being sold by corrupt
judges and justices in the highest level of our judiciary. Brilliant
lawyers can no longer win cases any more. Only SANs who collect Billions
from politicians who have looted Nigeria and bribe judges are winning
cases.
According to Sahara Reporters, they just obtained a full list of
Nigerian judges facing a nationwide clampdown by the Department of State
Security (DSS). Shocking revelations...
The document, which formed the basis for the clampdown on the judges,
contains explanations as to why the cleansing of the judiciary should
commence with the judges.
"Pursuant to the current administration's drive to fight corruption at
all levels, and following public revulsion at some section of the
judiciary on acts bordering on dishonesty, corruption, and abuse of
judicial process, a profile of some senior judicial officers alleged to
be involved in corrupt practices has been compiled", the report prepared
by the DSS stated.
The document explains in graphic detail how Supreme Court justices were
compromised during the election petition ruling relating to Governor
Nysom Wike of Rivers state.
Although only two judges of the Supreme Court have so far been arrested by the DSS, the documents named a full panel of Supreme Court justices that sat to decide the Rivers state election case.
The document stated that the Supreme Court judgement which gave Governor
Wike victory against the Court of Appeal ruling which had reversed
Governor Wike's election was delivered on January 27, 2016, and the full
judgement further delivered on February 12, 2016, by a panel that was
led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Muhammad Mahmud.
Other panel members named included Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, Nwali
Sylvester Ngwuta, Kumai Byang Akaahs, Kudirat Motonmori Olatokumbo
Kekere-Ekun, John Inyang Okoro and Amiru Sanusi. Justice Kekere-Ekun
delivered a unanimous decision validating Wike's election.
The document reveals that CJN constituted the panel on the very day of
the judgement in an attempt to frustrate those waiting to induce members
of the panel.
It also reveals that despite the strategy adopted by the Chief Justice, the panel received monetary inducement through Justice Mary Odili who, although a member of the Court, was not on the panel.
Justice Odili, according to the confidential report, became dramatic and reportedly wept before her colleagues on the panel,
saying if Wike were not returned as governor, she would prematurely
become a widow as her husband, Peter Odili, a former governor of the
state, is Wike’s godfather and would have a heart attack [if Wike is
sacked as governor over the fraudulent Rivers election].
Governor Wike publicly acknowledged the role of the Odilis in restoring
his mandate as governor. During a thanksgiving to mark his victory, he
said that had the election been nullified, he would not have
re-contested, claiming he was close having a heart attack as his blood
pressure was rising.
The report stated that money had been offered to the President of the
Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, who rejected it, saying she
feared that all eyes would be on her.
Hopefully, following these revelations, the judiciary will be thoroughly cleansed of corrupt elements.
