Peter Odili's Wife, Justice Mary, Begged Supreme Court Judges with N5bn for Governor Wike (See Details)

Revelations are pouring in about our justice is being sold by corrupt judges and justices in the highest level of our judiciary. Brilliant lawyers can no longer win cases any more. Only SANs who collect Billions from politicians who have looted Nigeria and bribe judges are winning cases.

According to Sahara Reporters, they just obtained a full list of Nigerian judges facing a nationwide clampdown by the Department of State Security (DSS). Shocking revelations...

The document, which formed the basis for the clampdown on the judges, contains explanations as to why the cleansing of the judiciary should commence with the judges.

"Pursuant to the current administration's drive to fight corruption at all levels, and following public revulsion at some section of the judiciary on acts bordering on dishonesty, corruption, and abuse of judicial process, a profile of some senior judicial officers alleged to be involved in corrupt practices has been compiled", the report prepared by the DSS stated.

The document explains in graphic detail how Supreme Court justices were compromised during the election petition ruling relating to Governor Nysom Wike of Rivers state.

Although only two judges of the Supreme Court have so far been arrested by the DSS, the documents named a full panel of Supreme Court justices that sat to decide the Rivers state election case.

The document stated that the Supreme Court judgement which gave Governor Wike victory against the Court of Appeal ruling which had reversed Governor Wike's election was delivered on January 27, 2016, and the full judgement further delivered on February 12, 2016, by a panel that was led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Muhammad Mahmud. 

Other panel members named included Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, Nwali Sylvester Ngwuta, Kumai Byang Akaahs, Kudirat Motonmori Olatokumbo Kekere-Ekun, John Inyang Okoro and Amiru Sanusi. Justice Kekere-Ekun delivered a unanimous decision validating Wike's election.

The document reveals that CJN constituted the panel on the very day of the judgement in an attempt to frustrate those waiting to induce members of the panel. 

It also reveals that despite the strategy adopted by the Chief Justice, the panel received monetary inducement through Justice Mary Odili who, although a member of the Court, was not on the panel. 

Justice Odili, according to the confidential report, became dramatic and reportedly wept before her colleagues on the panel, saying if Wike were not returned as governor, she would prematurely become a widow as her husband, Peter Odili, a former governor of the state, is Wike’s godfather and would have a heart attack [if Wike is sacked as governor over the fraudulent Rivers election].

Governor Wike publicly acknowledged the role of the Odilis in restoring his mandate as governor. During a thanksgiving to mark his victory, he said that had the election been nullified, he would not have re-contested, claiming he was close having a heart attack as his blood pressure was rising.

The report stated that money had been offered to the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, who rejected it, saying she feared that all eyes would be on her.

Hopefully, following these revelations, the judiciary will be thoroughly cleansed of corrupt elements.
