Racoon:
You now see the kind of sanctimonious lawless & criminal saints people Nigeria have under this useless APC govt ?

Keep quiet, most of you commenting here do not know the law that established CCT. The CCT does not belong to NJC neither did it take its instructions from CJN. CCT does not report to NJC hence, the only authority that's answerable to is the presidency as the Chairman has rightly said

PaChukwudi44:

On Saturday you will still lose pachukwudi cos you always lose

coolcharm:
So, how does a man who didn't take judicial oath recommend the removal of the CJN?

Let's put it in the right perspective. The presidency tried the CJN, the presidency found him guilty, the presidency suspended him.

That is a loopsided operation, and an abuse of power.

Did you bother to read before commenting?

Lolz...just imagine the lawless idiots we have in power...

Monday is almost here let's see how it goes

And he who pays the piper dictates the tune.

Therefore it is safe to say he was told what to do and he did just as told!

dicefrost:
So many illegalities and irregularities in many places in this country. That 1999 military constitution needs serious review. So if the cct chairman is not a judge, can he then convict and pass sentence to a person before him?

CCT can find the offender guilty but cannot jail the offender. The punishment it is allowed to impose are: removal from office, ban from holding public office for 10 years and forfeiture of illegal assets.

Unlike other courts where a person cannot be tried twice for the same offence, the constitution prescribed that after the conviction by the CCT, the offender can be taken to regular courts for prosecution of criminal aspects of the case so that he can be jailed.

Anyone found guilty by the CCT cannot be pardoned by the president or governor unlike in other court cases.

He is rght the CCT tribunal was set up by the executive under an executive order and is not an ordinary court which was why the court of appeal threw out the suite of Onnoghen and asked him to go and face his charges.

Only the President can handle the CCT judge.

Sonoyom:

The man is quite right. The constitution talks about his terms of service in relation to civil service rules not judicial service.

The only protection that the constitution gives him against removal, is the same protection it gives Auditor-General who is also answerable to the president.

@ bolded. Constitution says the president supported by two-third majority of the senate.

helinues:


Broda, comprehension issue here... I cant help any further

Serious comprehension issues, because there is nowhere in the article where the Acting CJN was reported to have said he is not a judicial officer like you said. That is impossible.

It helps to understand and comprehend before hurrying to comment.

helinues:


That he is not a judicial officer

But acting in the capacity of Chief Justice of Nigeria

Probably you read something differently

Even if we're both not a lawyer,but you should be able to deduce from the report that this man made a point that justify his defense. Please read it over again if you actually didn't understand before commenting.

Some ppl are just too dull and fail to realise that the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) is a small unit under the executive; it is therefore not a part of the judiciary even though members of the tribunal including the chairman may be members of the judicial profession.

Why don't u reason with sense, even if the CCT is an executive court, the members are lawyers, and they can be sanctioned or disciplined by their profession

Tetehjewels:

Yes. For CCT Chairman and members, Schedule 5 Clause 17(3) of the constitution prescribes that the president can only remove any of them by support of two-third majority of each of the Houses of the National Assembly (not just the senate as I wrote earlier).

That settles it then

It is very sad that over 60% of our youth don't read to understand anymore but rather choose to be bias in their understanding of any report. What I expect those who are castigating the ACJN to do is to actually verify his claim to know if truly the CJN only took official oath and not judicial oath which made them a subject of the executive. I think CJN, IG, chief of air staff etc are subject to the executive but silent to the public knowledge as so. I stand to be corrected.

DonFreshmoney:

Not when what they are being disciplined or sanctioned for is directly concerning the CCT.

They have no Jurisdiction when it comes to that.

Falana already declared it that No court in Nigeria can stop what the CCT is doing

His boss Buhari requested for the exparte order and he obliged immediately mainly for fear of being procecuted for the allegations of bribery hanging on him. As it is today there appears to be no check on the conduct of the Chairman of CCT, meaning that whoever only the precedency desires would be prosecuted at the CCT.

The Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Danladi Umar, says he is not a judicial officer and is therefore not answerable to any institution but the Presidency.

He, therefore, rejected the authority of the National Judicial Council and the Federal Judicial Service Commission.

Wait, is this a personal attack or you just decided to support blindly?

A lot of you simply occupy first to comment position to display zero understanding of anything you read

It is a known fact that most of the northern elites don't respond to anyone or query except the President's. Only southern rag boys are tossed like coins by the different arms of govt.

#Richdad

Thank you Mr Richdad for this beautiful and simple observation. Its only northern appointees that always claim I report to the presidency whenever they have committed infractions of the law. More than enough examples to cited. one of such is Prof Usman who preside as the executive secretary of NHIS. What kind of country is this .

helinues:

Nothing personal, just take correction and move on bros.

The CCT chairman Umar said he wasn't a judicial officer, not the Acting CJN Tanko like you erroneously said.

That's why the comprehension issue was called out in the first place.
