The charges against the CJN are dead on arrival as I’m of the opinion that someone is trying to embarrass not only the government of Nigeria but the entire nation by turning us to a full fledge banana republic.
Nigeria is a country govern by our sacred constitutions and prescribed rules and regulations.
The charge against the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen is dead on arrival in view of the case of Nganjiwa v FRN (2017) LPELR 43391 wherein the Court of Appeal held that a judicial officer who has not been investigated by the National Judicial Council and sanctioned for misconduct cannot be arraigned in any criminal court in Nigeria.
Furthermore, there is a procedure for the removal of CJN under Section 292 of the Constitution. It’s by Senate Resolution. So, one need to ask where is the order to vacate his seat is coming from.
Where’s the Chief legal officer of the federation who ought to advice our government properly and save us from this embarrassment?
My colleagues in other jurisdiction have been calling and not that I’m bereft of what to say but I’m ashamed that this’s happening to me, my profession, our judiciary and the entire country, how did you want me to go abroad or here to perfect agreement with those that will regard us as lawless.
Im afraid as it’s either the Hon. Attorney General of Federation, Mr. Abubakar Malami, SAN is incompetent or forgetful of the simple content of the Constitution.
Notice is hereby given to the Attorney General of the Federation to invoke his power under Section 221 to enter Nolle Proseque to abate this latest prosecutorial jiggery pokery.
