, charged with the murder of the Chief Security Officer of the University of Nigeria , Christopher Ogbonna.
At the arraignment of Ezeazu and Ugwu on a two-count charge of conspiracy and murder before Enugu State High Court on July 21, 2003, the trial judge rejected their request for bail. Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, in the lead judgment, reviewed the circumstances under which the vacation judge granted bail to Ezeazu and held that the judge ignored necessary factors in granting bail to the defendant.
“I believe that when the accused later jumped bail and he refused to make himself available for his trial, the judge should have realised that he has to cover his face in shame for his failure to exercise his discretion on the bail application, both judicially and judiciously.
The erring judge if he is still in service should be fished out and disciplined.
‘I shall say nothing more on this & let conscience of said judge continue to deal with him either in retirement or still in service.He is,however,not on trial’:Vacation Judge granted bail to a suspect arraigned before another judge.Suspect escaped. SC can’t sanction erring Judge.
