Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the federation and minister of justice, on Tuesday said the era when corrupt judges escaped justice was over.
Speaking in Lagos during the launch of ‘Go and sin no more’, a report of the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), Malami, who was represented by Abiodun Aikomo, one of his senior special assistants, said the current administration would ensure that judicial officials who abuse their offices are sent to jail.
“Corrupt judges will go to jail as the government of President Muhammadu Buhari will actively promote and ensure that corrupt judges are prosecuted and their illegally acquired assets are returned to the state,” Olukayode Majekodunmi, SERAP’s deputy executive director, quoted him as saying.
“Considering the pivotal role that they play in the administration of justice, it is important to ensure that Nigerian judges, like the proverbial Ceazer’s wife, are beyond reproach or even suspicion. Gone are the days when corrupt judges escaped from Justice in Nigeria!

“In line with the cardinal agenda of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, the office of the honourable attorney-general of the federation shall ensure that every appearance of corruption in the Judiciary is dealt among other measures through criminal prosecution and forfeiture to the state of illegally acquired assets.
“Acts of judicial impunity will also not be condoned, so that our Judges can be judicially accountable at all times in a corruption-free judiciary which is both independent and impartial. All these shall be achieved without violating the fundamental human rights of the persons involved, and in line with rule of law and international best practices.
“The judiciary’s one and only mandate should be to deliver justice without fear or favour, affection or ill-will. The world over, the rule of law, and separation of powers which are inseparable components of a democratic government, presupposes the existence of an independent and impartial judiciary.”

whole judicial system is proven corrupted to protect each other. U S Court of federal claims judge, came after me with vengeance to protect friends. But when table turned he stopped answering me back. He put judgment and submission against me in a hurry. He said I, was unable to file in federal court and dismissed saying barred. Now I, put default submissions clerks judgments and Court fail to answer submissions defaults clerks judgments. Never barred in state court but judges was corrupted. Now in federal court they file nothing but the lie I, was barred. Now they have nothing to lie about they don’t want to pay proven won case against judges, who protected 20.000 proven fraud contract car dealer that is also criminal. Swear under perjury that every word is true. The top chief justices is a total disgrace and should be facing criminal charges for their actions. What do I, need to do to get long over due justice from a crooked judicial system that stick together.
Sent from Yahoo Mail on AndroidChief justice Margaret M. Sweeney, of the u s court of federal claims administration of Justice was given to me. Need to collect on defaults Clerks Judgments and default submissions to fraud upon the court, submissions to obstruction of Justice, and judges act of professional misconduct. And Violation of the United States Constitution.
Law codes are given and proven also case law is proven in my favor. Defendants filed no papers in federal court. After 30 days all state judgment orders are void . state court will proceed no further. All judges and courts used state barred papers to dismiss case. Also judges said Res judicta was in my case and case couldn’t be refiled. Chapman Chevrolet a car dealer is one of the defendant and Arizona law title 10 sec 11 say car dealer not barred by Res judicta. The bottom line is clerk judgment entered in district court in Tucson and adjudged by Rosemarie Marquez, using state barred papers. In District Court in Phoenix clerk judgment is ordered and adjudged giving immunity to Rosemary Marquez. Lost of immunity Articles III of the construction and Rankin v. Howard in the u s court of appeals in San Francisco. All judges dismissal are void because all use void state papers. Now Margaret m. Sweeney, chief.justice administration of Justice win my case. Three months nothing from the court and claim need to be paid. Filed on Chapman Chevrolet for 20.000 proven fraud contract and all judges came to be attached by helping Chapman Chevrolet by lying saying I, was barred by Res judicta, but the truth is car dealer not barred by Res judicta. All defendants had was a lie and barred state papers. Roman Colter, swear under perjury that all is true. Also Res judicta consequences will not be applied to a void judgment. See law code. Two clerks judgment in District court in Tucson 4;17 00487tucrm. And in Phoenix District court five02599jjt. Lost of adjudged and Immunity and Article III of the Constitution and see Howard v Rankin in u s appeals court in San Francisco. Filed submission to default clerk judgment three months ago and no answer from court. U S Federal Court of Claims has fail to answer submissions clerks default and is now in default and claims need to be paid.
