The Supreme Court has quashed the judgement that convicted and sentenced the former governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor-Kalu to 12 years imprisonment.
The Supreme Court then proceeded to set aside the judgement that convicted the defendants and ordered a fresh trial of the defendants by another judge. The Supreme Court added that Justice Idris, having been elevated to the Court of Appeal before then, lacked the powers to return to sit as a High Court Judge.
We must learn to respect the decision of the supreme Court. They did not create the situation neither did they make the law, they only apply it. Because it doesn't favour our wish we will start calling them names. That's bad and unfair. Going on retrial is time wasting exercise.
Is the court not on vacation

I thought OUKtweets was going to win at the Appeal Court but no he got Tanko's SC Technical Judgement ----- Nullification of High Court Judgment based on the Judge having been promoted and being a member of Court of Appeal as at the time of passing judgement. Technicalities
For this naija everything is possible except death
Nigerian judiciary is a very useless and hopeless institution.
What do you expect when the head is rotten. Any system can only be fair when the head is a man or woman of integrity. We all know who is the head of supreme corruption, sorry Supreme Court and the way he came in as the head. Do you expect any good to come from him?
I think he has learned a little lesson, he told us that he will not defend his people anymore to appease the supreme leader and the Tyrant didn't mind that he has abandoned his people to follow him and jail him in a very compromised judiciary for 12 yrs.
Lol..

What do you expect from Supreme corruption? This country is a joker.

Controversy as NJC recommends relatives of Supreme Court judges, others to Buhari for appointmentsSome Nigerian lawyers have asked President Muhammadu Buhari to reject 33 candidates recommended to him by the National Judicial Council (NJC) for appointment as High Court judges of the Federal Capital Territory. Are the “relatives and others” Congolese? Corruption everywhere and someone will sit somewhere and make noise of fighting corruption, corruption kii you there This is very sad. If those who ordinarily should be willing to lay down their lifes in defence of justice and rule of law now go so low in recommending relatives as judges, what can we say other than it is finished !!! The country is gone, only the strongest survives.
