PATRIOTISM FROM CHIEF AJIBOLA ARIBISALA (SAN).

PATRIOTISM FROM CHIEF AJIBOLA ARIBISALA (SAN).
There is nothing that is unconstitutional about the raid of the residences of the judges by the operatives of DSS. This raid should have happened about five years ago. The corruption in the judiciary has got to a condemnable level. We lawyers know that something like this was bound to happen. It is happening rather too late. No law says a criminal cannot be dealt with. The NJC cannot even say that the DSS should not make arrests in the midnight. It is only when one has committed an offence or suspected to have committed an offence that such a person can be arrested. You can even be arrested on a Xmas day or New Year day. A lot of terrible things are happening in this country. One would have expected the NBA to have intervened and cried foul. When a judge was attacked in Ekiti some years ago, what did the NBA do? What could be more humiliating than a governor going to a courtroom to attack a judge? The same governor is the one leading those who are condemning the DSS. This is the same governor that beat up a judge. Then the NBA was silent. Why are they talking now? How can anybody defend a judge that money was found in his residence? Nobody keeps money at home. The monetary evidence is suggestive. The DSS simply acted on the petition received. The DSS acted based on the evidence. It was as a result of complaints. I don't think those condemning the DSS got it right. The DSS only went ahead to procure evidence. If they have told the judges they are coming, the judges would have cleared their houses and kept the evidence. Imagine a judge going to the supermarket to take money. Sometime ago, one of the judges collected N200m, the NJC only told him to pay it back in instalments. Is that not a pact? If you have been found to have collected a bribe, is the punishment to merely pay it back in instalments? It is very wrong. Please share this to all Nigerians who are not thieves and are not defenders of thieves.

Olisa Agbakoba Speaks On 2014 National Conference. “You were a delegate to the 2014 National Conference. Do you think there is something in that report that can benefit this country if considered and implemented?” Olisa Agbakoba was asked by his interviewer He said; “We have been having national conferences going back to the time of Ibrahim Babangida, Sani Abacha, and (Olusegun) Obasanjo. They didn’t create the conferences in order to promote the interest of Nigeria. They created the conferences for their own personal interests. IBB created it to find a way to become a civilian leader – it crashed. Abacha created it in order to become a civilian leader – he died. Obasanjo created his own in order to become a third-term leader – he failed. Goodluck Jonathan created his own in order to have a seven-year tenure and to avoid election – he failed. So, why should I recommend any of such reports?”. Punch July 9, 2017.
