Justice Ademola blames Attorney General for arrest, says he signed document at gunpoint

October 15, 2016Samuel Ogundipe

High Court

One of seven senior Nigerian judges arrested by the State Security Service, SSS, last weekend, Adeniyi Ademola, has accused the Attorney General, Abubakar Malami, of being behind his ordeal.

Mr. Ademola said the immediate reason for his arrest was his decision to grant bail to former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, and A pro-Biafra leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

But he cited a longstanding friction with Mr. Malami as a reason too.

In his letter to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Mahmud Mohammed, four days after the raid at his Abuja residence, Mr. Ademola said he was assaulted during the midnight operation by SSS operatives.

The SSS accuses Mr. Ademola and the other judges of corruption.

Mr. Ademola denied the allegation, and said in his letter that he was targeted because he ruled against the SSS in some controversial cases such as the ones involving Messrs. Dasuki and Kanu.

The two men are held by the SSS on separate charges of corruption and treason.

“The search of my residence was based on these allegations: “(i) Petition of Hon. Jenkins Duvie dated 4th of April 2016 to the National Judicial Council (NJC); (ii) Granting bail to Col. Sambo Dasuki and the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu. (iii) Using my office to secure my wife’s appointment as the Head of Civil Service Lagos State through Senator Bola Tinubu,” Mr. Ademola said.

The letter was first published by a news website, thebriefng.com. PREMIUM TIMES confirmed its authenticity.

Mr. Ademola said about 45 operatives of SSS stormed his residence and whisked him away in the dead of night, without telling him his offenses or presenting a warrant of arrest.

He said the SSS connived with the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami to use his decisions on the bench against him.

“What is more intriguing in this whole episode is that I see it as a vendetta/revenge from the Hon. Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN).

“Whilst I was in Kano between 2004-2008 as a Federal High Court judge, he was involved in a professional misconduct necessitating his arrest and detention by my order.

“However, with the intervention of Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Kano Branch, the allegation of misconduct was later withdrawn by me.

“Consequently, the National Judicial Council (NJC) referred Abubakar Malami (SAN) to the NBA Disciplinary Committee for disciplinary action,” Mr. Ademola said.

Mr. Ademola said the case cost Mr. Malami his initial prospects of becoming a senior advocate of Nigeria.

“It was as a result of this he was denied the Rank of SAN by the Legal Practitioners Privileges Committee for a period of four years until when he produced a fake letter of apology, purportedly addressed to me.

“It was then he was conferred with the rank. Since the above incident, Abubakar Malami (SAN) has threatened to revenge and swore to do anything to bring me down,” the judge said.

Mr. Ademola denied the allegations against him, including charges that he was in possession of unlicensed firearms.

Mr. Ademola provided details of how he was frightened after operatives arrived at his home in the middle of the night and how they conducted their operation before leaving the property in “shambles”.

“I saw at about 45 masked officers of the State Security Services, all heavily armed pointing their guns at me,” he said.

“They flashed a document purported to be a search warrant and ordered me to sign a document claiming that they had already conducted a search downstairs.

“They also added that I was totally under their control today as I have always made orders against them,” Mr. Ademola said.

Mr. Malami’s spokesman did not respond to PREMIUM TIMES’ request for comment on Saturday evening.

Mr. Ademola said operatives later presented him with a list of items that were found in his home which could be used as exhibits, but he initially declined to sign the paper.

“They threatened me if I did not sign it they would not leave me alone and whatever they did to me at that point would be recorded that I will not be alive to tell the story of what transpired between me and them that night.

“For fear and interest of my life, and unknown persons with masks on their faces, I collected the written items and signed the document,” Mr. Ademola said.

The judge said he has been putting up at a hotel in downtown Abuja and sought permission to proceed on leave during which he intended to pursue a remediation for alleged breach of his fundamental rights by the SSS.

”My Lord, with this infringement of my fundamental right, I seek for the leave to commence an action against the State Security Service to enforce my right that was breached,” Mr. Ademola said.

Supreme Court judges, Inyang Okoro and Sylvester Ngwuta were arrested in Abuja. Federal High Court judges, Mr. Ademola and Mohammed Tsamiya were also arrested in Abuja.

Others arrested included, Kabir Auta, Kano; Muazu Pindiga, Gombe; and Innocent Umezulike in Enugu.

The operatives were also involved in a botched attempt to arrest another judge in Port Harcourt.

All the seven judges were released on self-recognisance while agents prepare charges for their arraignment.

The clampdown has pitted the NJC against the Muhammadu Buhari government.

After three days of discussion, the body formally condemned the action of the SSS in a statement Thursday, vowing to reject any attempt to intimidate the judiciary.

The SSS saw no wrongdoing in its action, saying it found huge stash of money, denominated in naira and other foreign currencies, from the judges’ homes during the raid.

This story of Justice Ademola is unbelievable for the following reasons

(2). How does the position of Head of Service occupied by your wife in Lagos State affect DSS or Federal Government?

(3) Two other judges of FCT High Court also granted bail to Dasuki but they were not arrested. Do other judges arrested also granted Bail to Dasuki and Kanu?

(4) You were allowed to call your counsel and he came.

(5) You did not deny keeping huge amount of money at home.

This case will unravel like every other case the DSS and EFCC have bungled.

5 years from now, there will be zero convictions and NOBODY will go to jail.

In fact, in another 2 1/2 years, Buhari will be forced into retirement in Daura and the judges, Dasuki and Nnamdi Kanu will be walking freely.

I laughed after reading this funny story. If demola isn’t corrupt, why would he order the release of dasuki with more than 1000% undisputed evidence and self confession of fraud of billions of dollars? I read the whole folktale but he didn’t mention how he got the millions of foreign currencies found in his house and the bribes he got in cotonou, Togo and other nearby suburbs.

  Sheyman, its so sad that the constitution and law are being turned on their heads in this country. Why do you ask for bail when arrested by the police? Does the law not provide for an accused to be held within a specified period and then charged to court? When in court his plea is taken, bail follows if the judge gives bail conditions. Don’t worry, one day will find yourself in court and no bail will be granted to you.

    There have been judges passing judgements against opposition at random even when they (judges) are standing trials by EFCC. They want to be seen as playing good boy to the govt so they keep handing out embarrassing judgements to please the authorities. One heading a tribunal is even on trial for N10m bribery yet he has not been arrested. For as long as the other judge keeps on ruling against the opposition he is a good boy, so sad

  This ‘affects’ the FG because the ‘Lion of Bourdilon’ is gradually being declared persona-non-grata(by the FG cabal) in the party he was made to believe he was the ‘national leader’.

  Fair points. On the other hand Justice Ibrahim Auta, the Chief Judge of the federal high court ( who presided over the kangaroo court that sentenced Dele Giwa to death) was also implicated in the same bribe money obtained by Justice Ademola yet he was left alone. I hope for the sake of Nigria that Ademola J is wrong but if he is right then the DSS are in trouble and the fight against corruption is really just the ACN fighting the PDP.

Faith That Conquers

RE POSTED After 11 months and now.

Nigerians please and please obey and find solution to your problems.
There will remain confusion, disunity and immense hardship all through Buhari’s regime. Not my wish but what Nigerians will witness because Buhari has no good mission or vision for the country.

The only things that can change these things from continuing are:

1) Buhari must admit openly he has been manipulating the system instead of proffering solutions. This, he will never do.

2) After that, he must sincerely look for qualified Nigerians to assist his steering this ship of Nigeria instead of APC members who knew next to nothing about their ministries.

3) He must allow the judiciary and the national assembly stand each separately as independent arm of the government.

4) He must fight corruption not pretending he is not corrupt, but because they have all installed and benefited from corruption and God is not happy with any of them. The implication is there should be no sacred cows being protected directly or indirectly by him.

5) If Nigerians want God to intervene not minding Buhari, they must love and accept themselves as one people above ethnic or religious affiliations.

6) They must agree Buhari is no messiah to save Nigeria from its predicaments.

Finally, the choice is either in the hands of Nigerians to do the two things advice or continue to suffer all through Buhari’s regime or for Buhari to comply with the outlined instructions so that God can lead Nigeria out of its sufferings.///////

Premium Times Editor,

President BUHARI’s ‘War Against Corruption’ is total mess

President Buhari is taking Nigerians for a ride. He is not fighting corruption. He’s
flattering to deceive. President Buhari took five (5) whole months to select 21
Ministers. He said he was taking the most meticulous procedure to select
squeaky clean folks as Ministers. He’s now being exposed as a hypocrite.
According to Justice Adeniyi Ademola in this exposé, the person whom
President Buhari chose as attorney-general is a past jail bird.

Justice Ademola said it was he,
as the presiding judge, who sent Abubakar Malami – Buhari appointed
attorney general – to prison in Kano for grossly illicit conduct. It follows that
permanent records exist at the Nigerian prisons of Abubakar Malami –
which President Buhari could not have been unaware of before announcing
Abubakar Malami as his ‘meticulously’ selected attorney general and as Chief
Law Officer of Nigeria. What a scandal. What a shame on President Buhari’s
judgment.

We may never know the truth in all these, the fog is thick. The judiciary in Nigeria has mortally wounded herself, any sense of dignity is eroded on the platform of naked corruption. Not all judges are corrupt, but the good ones who have not sold their conscience or soil their fingers might never be known because no one will believe them if they so declare. It is a pity.

If Ademola could lie that he was in Benin when DSS came calling, how and why should we believe that 24 hours in DSS custody is not what led to all these fabrications? I care less for Malami but where everything fell apart is, how would he say that Malami presented a fake apology letter which led to him getting “SANed” and Ademola looked on?
This judge seems to me like a hardened crook, he had guns pointed at him and yet he could count how many masked men even as he said he was frightened. SR has posted the warrants of arrests and he should have verified before he lied yet again.

Germans spit on Buhari

The ill adviced President totally forgot that he is standing next to a woman who is a world leader. Here in Germany as in the rest of Europe, the issue of women’s right is a delicate one as women have come a long way fighting inequality in both society and at work place.

Without warning, a visibly angry Mrs Merkel (the German Chancellor) quickly ended the press conference to save the President further embarrassment.

The emancipation of women in Europe is a civil rights issue, that is why feminist groups in Germany immediately reacted to his outing as a hate speech and demanded his exit from their territory.

A German opposition leader called for his immediate expulsion from Germany, while a renowned German newspaper in its editorial, has this to say about our President.

_He is simply a dumb leader, hailed as the Messiah of Africa’s most populous democracy after winning election in 2015 His agenda of fighting corruption which was given a blessing by the West, especially former colonial master, England is very unpopular in his country as citizens are more concerned about the economic hardship and joblessness to his fight for financial recovery_.

It went ahead to say,… _when it comes to world issues, the former general has little knowledge of events of the moment and hardly articulates.The more you listen to him, the dumber you become_ -; Hard words, but written with some elements of sincerity. Germany has a woman as head of state.

Germany has mother with eight children as defence minister, (comnander of a powerful millitary force) something unthinkable in most parts of the world especially, Africa. The notion here is that, girls can be everything including being President .

National Security Agencies Act of 1986 (Decree 19)
(3) The State Security Service shall be charged with responsibility for-(a) the prevention and detection within Nigeria of any crime against the internal security of Nigeria;
(b) the protection and preservation of all non-military classified matters concerning the internal security of Nigeria; and
(c) such other responsibilities affecting internal security within Nigeria as the National Assembly or the President, as the case may be, may deem necessary.

The federal president has stated that corrupt judges are a threat to Nigerian national security. In compliance with the orders of the federal president and the extant laws granted to the federal president by the constitution, the DSS has the authority to act against corrupt judges.

“Where national security is threatened or there is the real likelihood of it being threatened, human rights or the individual right of those responsible take second place. Human rights or individual rights must be suspended until the national security can be protected or well taken care of”.

  One giant step by mr president towards fighting corruption. The judiciary should be cleaned up thoroughly if we really mean a corrupt free nigeria.

The raid and arrest took place between October 7, and 8, 2016; and all were released on October 8, 2016. Seven days after the fact, Mr. Ademola has come up with a concocted story of a long-standing misunderstanding between him (on one side) and Attorney General of Nigeria/DSS (on the other). Nonsense!, Why does it take SEVEN days for a learned judge to break the story to the public? In the court where he delivers judgments to the highest bidder, witnesses are NOT needed, but here in the court of public opinion, he must bring forth witnesses to corroborate his seemingly fictitious story of being targeted as a result of his numerous controversial court rulings and that he endorsed implicating list of items found in his house at gun-point. He did NOT categorically state that, the incriminating items found in house were planted by the DSS, neither, did he explain how they got to his house. What a judge!! A very poor job of concocting a story. Ademola must go. These are judges who notoriously ruined many states in Nigeria by setting election results aside and then imposing politicians who heavily bribed them as state governors and senators. He has a major responsibility to explain how he came about the money found in his house or convincingly explain how the money ended up in his house without his knowledge and how he signed at gun-point that the money was his!!

True Nigerian

Why am I not convinced by Justice Ademola’s story? Why has it taken him an entire week to come up with this story?

Above all, in all of Justice Ademola’s long tales, he failed to claim that the DSS did not find any incriminating thing in the house. Why that noisy silence on such a critical element in the entire saga?

Justice Ademola, did the DSS find any huge amount of cash in your house? If so, what were you doing with the cash? Why are they in your house? How did they get into your house? These are the questions, my corrupt friend.

Now, it is possible that the DSS made an audio and video recording of the operations. If they did, Ademola may have just told a “s2upid” lie that will further expose his rottenness as a judge.
Du Covenant

That is a Judge lying in broad day light!. What about the phone call with his house maids suggesting he was not at home?. Did the AGF also plant the money found in his house?. These people have been comfortable within the Nigerian context and could not care less what happens to ordinary citizens. I am glad these judges have experienced what fellow citizens experience on a regular basis. An unequal society is a dangerous one to live in.

I don’t doubt this judge’s culpability! Moreover, he has proven that he is not courageous but cowardly; how can such a judge dispense justice without fear or favour if it is true that he signed the document under durex?

      Pls tell me what has come out of our murdered Attorney General, chief Bola Ige.
      Nigeria has got no political will to get justice for those who died in the process of service.
      What about the soldiers who died in the name of our sovereignty? The top officials are there sitting on there gratuity/pention….. that is needed to take care of their widows, children, and……

Lying ‘Justice’ Ademola. The usual Nigerian way of defence playing different cards. The issue is how did you come about the huge sums of money and landed property documents found on you? Period.
- Bee
  
  Honestly speaking,I wonder what gave anybody the guts to assume himself clean and shout
  corruption to others in the media. Are you clean of corruption?
  
  As it stays now, what Justice Ademola has stated above are undoubtedly known and accredited
  facts. The corruption you are shouting of remains a mere allegation, which
  could be True, false, or fabricated.
  
  Even if the Judiciary is so corrupt as you are claiming, the illiterate DSS and the self-acclaimed
  Noble Judge of the federation, the only world leader that was attested man of
  honor and integrity by Obama, Ban Ki Moon etc. according to Lai Mohammed, the Man
  who is so upright that his wife belongs to the Kitchen, living room and the
  other room, Buhari ,can never be a replacement. You are simply establishing Anarchy
  Mr. Malami, Daura, DSS and Buhari. Better be reminded, you are not immune to the
  effects of the Anarchy you are establishing. Thanks.
  - tony10
    
    The issue is did Justice Ademola collect a bribe or not? Period. Ademola can come up with any excuse in the media the Nigeria way hoping that people like you would believe anything. You are so funny that you believe Ademola statement but chose to ignore DSS allegations. What makes you believe Ademola is right and DSS is wrong? How about the judge who admitted he collected bribe even rolling on the floor on tape and NJC cleared him just because he promised to return the money? That one too a lie? As a judge Ademola is even not supposed to be talking to the press but be prepared to defend himself in court and prove DSS wrong. This even shows that he is trying to play media game knowing fully well evidence against him is huge. How about the unlicensed gun found in his house? What would he say if somebody is being prosecuted in his court for unlicensed gun? What stops him from getting a license as a judge if he needed it for honest self defence? The problem with people like you is that you think you have to criticise everything as opposition which normally gives you away as phonies. Even a retired supreme court justice told Channels TV that that judge should have been dismissed and prosecuted including those that are just being retired when allegations are proven against them. Judiciary cannot be claiming immunity not given them in constitution. Which anarchy are you establishing? Have you ever seen how special marshals operate in US? Even Scotland Yard in UK? I have experienced how raids are conducted in UK ( with the best police in the world) and they only said sorry after breaking our doors at 4.00 AM on false intelligence. Nigerians always think ignorantly that things are done differently elsewhere other than Nigeria. As for Obama and Ban , I am not interested in what they may have said about Buhari. They are not my role models and I do not draw inspirations from them. Nigeria cultures believe women belong in the kitchen. I know self righteous and hypocrites would be crying wolf.
    - Bee
      
      So how are you convinced upfront that Justice Ademola collected bribe without trial? That
      is the question. In as much as there has not been trial of any sought, the DSS
      as the prosecutors deserves no right of going to the media to shout of any
      evidence rather than taking those overwhelming evidence they claimed to have to
      court to obtain conviction. You cannot have it both ways. List I forget I hope
      we don’t end up asking for secret trial and masking of witnesses or even end up
      withdrawing the case this time around.

Mr. Judge, your integrity is at stake here, so I would expect you to address the allegations of corruption with the first and every opportunity you get rather than spend previous time telling your 2004 stories. I would expect you to say something like this: “I did not, have never, will never collect bribe as an honourable judge of the federal republic of Nigeria”. “I have never and will never engage in any act of corruption”. “I have absolutely no link property / properties being associated with”. “In all my twenty-something years as a judge, I have earned only my legal entitlements and have live strictly within my honest means”. “I am therefore demanding that the law enforcement agents charge this mater to court with immediate effect so I can clear my good name and hard-earned reputation”.
Why don’t you do this first then after that you can tell us the award-winning story of the federal high court judge who served in northern Nigeria many many years ago, and the delinquent lawyer who crossed his path more than a decade ago.

Corruption, as it is in Nigeria, is a well established culture, rooted down in the decades of traditional impunity.

The fruit, as we see it today, is stealing, nepotism, graft, lack of patriotism, mediocritic/eye service, ethnocentrism, i-dont-care attitude, greed e.t.c

Corruption, indeed, is not stealing as defined by GEJ. It is not limited to stealing alone. What about those who didn’t steal but collect bribes from those who didn’t steal?
Thus, it is share narrow-minded to limit corruption to just stealing alone!

WHAT, THEN, IS CORRUPTION?

Before the definition, let’s look at this analysis:
A wrong definition in itself is “corruption”. How?
WE DON’T SEE THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE, WE CAN ONLY SEE THINGS THE WAY WE ARE!!!

The right definition if corruption is the key to prevention of abuse of methods of fight against it. If you don’t know a sickness we give a wrong diagnosis and prescription!

WHAT DO I CALL CORRUPTION?
CORRUPTION IS A CULTURE! AND EVERY CULTURE HAS TRADITIONS.

All traditional practices put together can simply be called your culture. In this case, our traditional practices are these vices: stealing, bribery, nepotism, ethnocentrism, litering of environment etc. We are either guilty of one or the other if we conduct a simple self-search. EVEN THE PRESIDENT is GUILTY OF AT LEAST ONE OF THESE, i did not say all.

ANYONE who os corrupt will do one vice or the other. But the most notorious of all is stealing.

CORRUPTION IS LIKE A FATHER OF MANY CHILDREN. JUST AS ANY GIVEN CULTURE HAS MANY TRADITIONS. SO THE “FATHER” IS NOT SAME AS HIS CHILDREN, BUT WHEN WE SEE THE BEHAVIOR OF THE “CHILDREN”
WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THERE “FATHER”

So, if I or GEJ say “CORRUPTION IS NOT STEALING” hope you are not offended and don’t just jump into prejudicial conclusions.

CORRUPTION IS THE FATHER OF STEALING (NA HIM BE STEALING PAPA). SO STEALING IS NOT CORRUPTION.

CONCLUSIVELY, WHAT MADE MEN STEAL AND DO OTHER EVILS LIVES IN THEM. I CALL THAT THING CORRUPTION. TO BE MORE ACCURATE, I CALL IT IMMORALITY (IN SECULAR DEFINITION), AND SIN( AS GOD SEES IT).

How do we fight immorality effectively?
How do we fight sin?

KILL THE TRADITION OF IMPUNITY AT ALL LEVELS.
LET GOOD WORKS BE PRAISED AND REWARDED OPENLY
LET ALL BE EQUAL BEFORE THE LAW; SAME LAW FOR SAME PEOPLE: HIGH OR LOW, BIG OR SMALL, MALE OR FEMALE, RICH OR POOR.

    My privilege as Nigerian-licensed Solicitor abroad was breached by Justice Adeniyi Ademola
    of the Federal High Court, Abuja, who is reported by his stewards to have fled upstairs
    immediately the SSS team arrived his gate. According to his stewards, Justice Admola
    instructed and said whilst fleeing upstairs that the stewards should tell lies to SSS
    that he – Justice Ademola – has traveled out of Abuja to Benin city in Edo state.
    His stewards did as instructed.
    
    But the SSS insisted that the stewards should phone Justice Ademola in their presence to be sure.
    They did and Justice Ademola repeated the lies on phone that he was answering the phone call
    from Benin city in Edo state, whereas he was upstairs; locked in his bedroom.
    
    With GPS tracking the SSS located where Justice Ademola was hiding – right inside the house-
    and the SSS operatives moved to break the door to his bedroom where the Judge was hiding,
    arrested him and bundled him straight into prison.

Why are you using the wrong photo for the arrested Justice Ademola! This is lazy journalism. What you have is his grand father’s photo- a highly respected judicial icon who must be turning in his grave as his name is being desecrated by his grandson. How disgraceful! The explanation being given the younger Ademola is ridculous -hogwash!

The senior lawyers jumping in the defence of the suspected judges are a whole bunch of nuissance and corruption enablers. They are always hand in gloves with some judges to pervert the course of justice, which is inimical to the social and economic progress of our nation. They will pay for their wrongdoings here or hereafter. Their ‘cash for justice’ style is all too well known. They lack the intellect of the bar and bench of yesteryears. No decent person would respect these lawyers who have high jacked the leadership of the bar. While Nigerian are complaining about the poor state of the judicial process, the fatcat lawyers are hell bent on maintaining the status quo. Pity, the judiciary is so messed up. In which court(s) are these suspected judges going to be tried? This administration has their hands full.

  Premium Times Editor,
  
  President BUHARI’s ‘War Against Corruption’ is total mess
  
  President Buhari is taking Nigerians for a ride. He is not fighting corruption. He’s
  flattering to deceive. President Buhari took five (5) whole months to select 21
  Ministers. He said he was taking the most meticulous procedure to select
  squeaky clean folks as Ministers. He’s now being exposed as a hypocrite.
  According to Justice Adeniyi Ademola in this exposé, the person whom
  President Buhari chose as attorney-general is a past jail bird.
  
  Justice Ademola said it was he,
  as the presiding judge, who sent Abubakar Malami – Buhari appointed
  attorney general – to prison in Kano for grossly illicit conduct. It follows that
  permanent records exist at the Nigerian prisons of Abubakar Malami –
  which President Buhari could not have been unaware of before announcing
  Abubakar Malami as his ‘meticulously’ selected attorney general and as Chief
  Law Officer of Nigeria. What a scandal. What a shame on President Buhari’s
  judgment.

      Nigerians like hasty conclusions…. please do not believe the judge as well as the DSS guys. this is pure distraction from the reality

I was not there. I don’t know if there was gunpoint or not.
What I know is that RULE OF LAW does not include euros, dollars, yen and pound sterling
hidden under the bed of a judge. There is no INDEPENDENCE OF THE JUDICIARY in that.
A judge cannot turn his bedroom into bureau de change and talk of separation of powers.

  ‘I was not there’ that should have been the end of your sentence.
THE RULE

Only the Sai Barbarians will justify the SSS (or DSS) after reading this. So, our Attorney General and Minister for Justice was a jail bird? I thought Buhari spent 6 months just to appoint the “best” as ministers? “SAI BARBARIANS”, over to you

This buffoon must tell me that Malami planted all the money found in his house. Secondly you swore to an oath that you will deliver justice equitably and fairly under any circumstance, but you failed at the most critical point. You signed your own death warrant. Truly truly, those that the gods want to kill they first make mad. Criminal justice, you are in hot pepper soup.
- Netanyahu
  
  Planted money…..
  Did you see any money? Or was any money displayed for you, gullible Nigerians? Why not wait for this case in court. Just be patient.
  - Mufu Ola
    
    Sorry Mr gullible.The money is supposed to be displayed at the Abuja stadium! Some guys are so daft!!
- partafamilias trippi
  
  Yea, Same money recovered just like the Trillions of dollars that the government told us has been recovered and yet we are deep into a recession and the government of running shelter skelter looking for where to borrow even $10m. Common sense is that sense which is not so common because most Nigerians don’t seem to have it.
- abodes_124
  
  Yes Malami gave it to the DSS to plant. They have to prove in court that it is Ademola’s money. Even if it is not Malamis money it will not be easy to prove it is Ademola’s.
Olusamjide

This man is just trying to drag other people into his personal problem. What has Tinubu got to do with your problem with SSS. You also bring Kanu and Dasuki issue to curry sympathy from East and North, and West. You are a big liar even a kindergarten kid will find holes in your defense

Criminal judge would always look for escape route.

  Yes, but not this time. They got him.
Rommel

Rigmarole has started,we witnessed the games played by Rickey Tarfa when he was caught in the web,these shameless human beings cannot even have the humility to apologize but instead,they are unwilling to even repent because they can no longer distinguish between evil and good,can any reasonable person approach any court manned by this man expecting justice?
- princegab
  
  I for one would not be surprised when the judges will be acquitted on technicalities. Reason being that, though the judges are corrupt, those controlling the dss are corrupt too. They formed the core of pmb’s inner circle. AGF and his co-travelers are in self preservation mould, they took up the job of EFCC in hope to “kill 2 birds with one stone”. Another thing to consider is that the judiciary machinary is already in self-pity mode, all hands on deck 24/7 to birth technicalities; for, justices must be trampled with mercy.
  Masses are the beneficiary though, which everyway it goes.
Rommel

Pay as you go and Kalo Kalo judges

I hope his confessional statement/signing is video taped .
Umar

Nonesense, why didnt he say so before his arrest? What of the CASH found in his house. Shut up and face the corruption charges. Nodiversion can save you.
Cleartruth

Truth is coming out now gradually. I told the gullible yoruba e-rats that were celebrating the assault on judges to wait and hear from the other side so as to have a clear picture of things because daura dss has an antecedent of telling lies. The daura dss up till now has not shown the world the evidence of the money and the cars they claimed to have recovered from the judges . But the gullible yoruba e-rats won’t wait. They went into frenzy…
- Chisom Stanley Nnodimele
  
  What do you expect the judge to say? Can we read between the lines? We call that the last resort of a common man. These are called made up stories for saving his face sake. How many innocent victims do you think this judge has convicted knowingly?
- Mufu Ola
  
  Do you expect the accused judges to come out dancing & singing “yes, it’s true I’m corrupt”? You’re a supreme gullible with a rat brain.

Mr Ademola, I will be disappointed if you dont go to jail.

  Go to jail for ruling against DSS?

    Go to jail for corruption. I dont care about whatever ruling… let him go to court to defend himself.

  Kpele he is not going anywhere. they had their chance they have blown it with gestapo tactics.

    What is kpele? What language is that?

      Kpele means I am sorry. Origiginally Yoruba but practically part of Nigerian lingua franca. I am so soory , I presumed you were Nigerian.. In any event you do not need to ask anyone questions these days – just google.
larro ejele

To me..after deep thoughts about this saga…and with this latest rant from this justice of the law..it could only mean one thing…after their days in court, i bet they settle down to downloading and watching videos of the good old Pele, Maradonna and perhaps our very beloved Jay Jay okocha and the act of dribbling and artful dodging…these skills are second to none. If well perfected….its now time for them to practice..

stingdman

What a flimsy excuse. Did you collect bribe or not? Were monies that you did not work for found in your house? Don’t distract our attention from the issues at hand. Face your thievery behavior and perversion of Justice suffered in your hands by lawful electorates
- abodes_124
  
  DSS not smart at all.. Whatever evidence they gathered in his house will be denied and will not be admissible in court because of the way they went about it. It is so easy to entrap a bribe taking Judge with incontrovertible evidence. We are really poorly served by our law enforcement agents from the Police all the way up now to the DSS
  - Ikenna Okwuchi
    
    Good point bro, their incompetence is only exceeded by their imbecility.
    - Michael
      
      No evidence that they are incompetent at all. Learn to wait for the true facts to come out instead of making assumptions based on hearsay and what corrupt lawyers like Olisa Agbakoba and the other morons tell you.
Chinedu

We are beginning to have a seeming balance in the tales. The judges can now see how impoverished Nigerians are being made to endorse fabricated stories brought to their courts by men of our security agencies. This could be why this present bizarre scenario. But the facts to my mind are these:1 the judges are accused of corruption in the course of their jobs; stacking various monies in their homes. 2. The judges homes were raided at about midnight .3. The NBA and NJC both bodies regulating legal and judicial practice in Nigeria have condemned the procedure taken by the sss in this matter. I will advocate for the sss to pursue the matter procedurally to its logical conclusion while the attorney general be taken back to the disciplinary committee of the NBA for his role in this Saga. My humble submission. God bless us.
- Michael
  
  You started off well ( particularly since your user name suggests that you would be the typical PDP / Anti APC type) but then went on to say that the AG should be brought before the disciplinary committee of the NBA. By that statement you exposed your bias. What evidence have you got that the AG did anything wrong?
Truth is bitter

Are we sure DSS are not the one who went to the houses of these judges with the so call exhibits (money and gun) to discredit them?
- SAM .A
  
  Doubting Thomas swallow your bitter pill , and bury your conspiratorial tendency in the recess of your mind . We all see it ,Justice Yinusa is an example , where did he get N2 billion as a Nigerian Judge . Why did your moronic brain nor spring the same conspiracy when the news came out . We know you , we know where u come from , in your part of Nigeria , corruption is business.This anti corruption train is UNSTOPPABLE , It is going to crush the corrupt and their sympathizers .We are matching forward to a New Nigeria without filthy corrupt mind like yours.
Chisom Stanley Nnodimele

A chief Judge that swore to an oath to defend and up hold the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria coming up with such a rubbish saying is a disgrace to we the people whom the constitution refers to. What a country we have? Where the rule of Law applies, he should have been suspended.
SAM .A

Justice Adeniyi Ademola can blackmail the DSS all he wants , we are looking forward for you to tell us how you have been taken those multibillion Naira bribes under gun threat . It will be in open court , all Nigerians will hear and see it .
Mama Kay

These criminals hiding under the wig of law will never stop their lying habits and selling justice to the highest bidder.

You have just announced to the world that you are a coward, otherwise, why did you not read what you signed as a lawyer?

Must all this criminals or looters talk about witch-hunt? The reason for your arrest is that you give favourable judgement to the highest giver of money and that is corruption Oga criminal sir, Dasuki said the same thing about Buhari and we all know that if it was another person that was national security adviser the same faith would be done to the person. The question is you looted public funds and the judge collected bribe the law is not meant for common criminal or a common man sir, go and answer your criminal case!!!
- abodes_124
  
  So Nnamdi Kanu and Dasuki [whose accounts are all frozen] gave him more money than the APC.
Ogidiolu

The thing that surprises me the most is that Nigerians are only calling for jailing of these corrupt officials. I don’t think we are sufferring very well yet. When the suffer reaches a very nice level then our sense will return and we will demand that all these dirty people be EXECUTED. We are still just joking with corruption. Jail keh. You must be joking.
Dr Pat Kolawole Awosan

If justice Ademola, is among the suspected bribery culprit judges well! judge Ademola, must be removed by the NJC from the bench.Corruption crimes can not be disguised or cover-up.Any judge or justice found to be involved in bribes for favourable judgement scheme must be removed as NJC appears toi be ineffective about corruption crimes accused judges/justices.
- abodes_124
  
  Oga Doc, you assert boldly that if he is a ‘suspected bribery culprit’ he ‘must be removed’. Like your Leader before you still cannot make the distinction between suspicion and conviction. Not quite sure what you are doctor of .. Hopefully not one of medicine as your patients will not survive from faulty assessments, diagnosis and treatment
