The Friday’s judgment of the Supreme Court which nullified the trial and conviction of a former governor of Abia State, Orji Kalu, will cause an automatic reversal of gains already recorded in at leas

t 50 criminal cases pending or concluded at various High Courts, findings byThe progress recorded in the over 50 cases are attributable to the authorities given to about eight Justices of the Court of Appeal to return to their previous positions as High Court judges to conclude the cases which they were handling before their elevation to the higher bench.

The apex court had since 2017 validated Section 306 of ACJA which barred stay of proceedings in criminal trial. Justice Ejembi Eko delivered the apex court’s lead judgment and other members of the panel, comprising, Justices Rhodes-Vivour, Mary Odili, Olukayode Ariwoola, Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, Inyang Okoro and Amina Augie consented.

It can affect 100 cases it does not matter. Whatever is done in a wrong manner and against justice must be thrown out. ACJ act was made to favour prosecution.

👆👆👆We can never be seen as a serious country! The Supreme Court missed the opportunity to be CREATIVE and further deepen our constitutional jurisprudence. This is a marked difference between 'Law', strictly speaking, and 'Justice'.....

Some of the provisions of ACJ act are meant to protect the interests of the prosecution not minding whether its fair or not. Such provisions encourages corruption, why should a judge already promoted to a high court come back to conclude a case at lower court if not for interest.

This Supreme Court, as it is presently constituted, is far worse than our notoriously inconsistent High Courts. Only the Appeal Courts seem to have maintained a semblance of propriety and incorrigibility.

This country ppl and their wickedness... So now 50 other criminals would escape justice just like that... Eheeeennnn.... Is that one now good? If you are the EFCC chairman, life no go tire you? Waiting come be d end of all the bribe u no collect
