I think Justice Vikram Nath would decline leave to appeal in almost every case. Yet, one would rarely find a lawyer devastated by his decision. That is a great art, which every judge should emulate. Justice Vikram Nath certainly has in the back of his mind Dr. Ambedkar’s words:...

Nnamdi Kanu is trending because his trial has been adjourned indefinitely. Barely 48hrs after he said no one should beg Tinubu, on his behalf. Because agitating Biafra is not a crime. He rejected the adjournment by Justice Binta Nyako. Lectured the court, alleged Nyako wants to exchange his head. September 24th, 2024, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu rejected and openly accused Justice Binta Nyako of being an unprofessional, bias Justice who actively disobeys the rule of law. Then asked her to remove herself from his trial. She admitted and transferred his case file to Justice Tosho. Justice Tosho rejected it and sent it back to Justice Nyako. MNK insisted he isn’t confident in Justice Nyako handling his case. That, if there is no one willing to handle his case in Abuja. Then, his trial should be moved to the South East. Since his alleged offense of “Treason” affects the South East, not the North. Then, they should be well equipped to handle the trial accordingly. Today in court, Justice Nyako appeared again and was ready to proceed with the case at the Federal High Court Abuja. As prosecution was looking to begin, MNK’s lawyer opposed, saying they are not here for trial. Justice Nyako then said, she initially recused herself from the case, but she was assigned back by the Chief Judge. That, they’d need to file a reassignment motion. As Kanu’s lawyers and the prosecution were arguing the need for such. Nnamdi Kanu demanded to speak. He said, he’s only in court out of respect. That, Nyako no longer has jurisdiction over his case. And he doesn’t understand why they always turn the law upside down when it comes to his case. He argued that, since Nyako had officially recused herself from his case. Then, the Chief Judge can’t impose, instead appeal. Kanu insisted Nyako is unprofessional and bias. Kanu said “If the Chief Judge disagrees, he should appeal the decision. You cannot preside over this case, not now, not today, not ever. You stand recused and you must leave my case. I don’t need you in my case. You are biased. Tell the Chief Judge that Nnamdi Kanu said so. This is not a court of law. This is a shrine to injustice and i will not subject myself to it”. After his submission, the prosecutor still wanted the court to go ahead with trial. MNK interrupted saying “Because of money they are paying you from the AGF’s office, a grown-up man like you is here supporting evil. The rule of law says you should go on appeal. The same Chief Judge, writing this stupid memo, I have recused him before. He sat on appeal, I took him to NJC and recused him. Why is he insisting on this one? He wants to embarrass your lordship by asking her to sit on this case.” Then Justice Nyako, decided Adjourn the case indefinitely due to the situation of things. Kanu again; “You have no jurisdiction to adjourn anything. None whatsoever. You cannot make an order without jurisdiction. The memo from the Chief Judge cannot confer jurisdiction upon you” Kanu insists they deliberately ignore the law due to their bias against him. That him agitating for Biafra is his right, that somehow they’ve changed his charge from treason to terrorism. He remains defiant, against Justice Nyako handling his trial. He alleged that Justice Nyako has reached some sort of agreement to give his head in exchange for the freedom of her husband and son, who are facing a criminal case. Hinting that Nyako never truely left the case. Basically, he just wants the court to obey the Nigerian constitution. He has been in detention since 2021. But Nigerians fear it has become political and he may need to be submissive, otherwise his pride will keep him incarcerated indefinitely. • Pay for what you use.

Finally Justice Yashwant Varma has resigned - a year after that fateful fire in his outhouse. It is a tragedy that a judge with a once enviable reputation for integrity and intellect and seemingly destined for elevation to the Apex Court did not resign in March last year itself. His belated resignation comes in the wake of a damning report of a 3-judge inquiry, 2 inevitable rebuffs by the Supreme Court of misconceived petitions filed by him in that Court and impeachment proceedings in Parliament that were closing in on him. While he was undoubtedly entitled to all that due process afforded him, he would have served his own cause and particularly that of the noble institution he was a part of by resigning at the earliest given the very stark circumstances of the case. Without being invidious, it is significant that Justice Varma resigned soon after the accession of Justice Surya Kant to the office of Chief Justice Of India: the latter has revealed a steely determination to wipe clean the judiciary’s Augean stables. The next step is to expose and punish those lawyer fixers in the legal system who have made a career for themselves by knowing the judge rather than the law, those whose palms they have greased or subverted in other ways, the powerful Godfather who appoints judges prone to bribery and finally that shadowy figure who provides the financial and other wherewithal that destroys judicial conscience and renders the courts a playground for gamers, sharks and HAWALA operators.

.Ted Cruz hitting the bullseye during Pam Bondi’s AG confirmation hearing: “I thought the exchange just a moment ago with Senator Hirono was illustrative. She asked you how you would respond if the President asked you to target his political enemies. It's rather striking, because it's not a hypothetical. It has happened over the last four years and I think perhaps the most tragic legacy of the Biden-Harris administration has been the politicization and the weaponization of the United States Department of Justice and we don't need to ask hypothetically, because Joe Biden publicly mused and allowed The New York Times to report it, calling on Merrick Garland, ‘why will he not prosecute Trump more quickly?’ And Merrick Garland, sadly, he sat in that chair and promised to be apolitical, and he broke that promise almost the instant he walked into the Department of Justice. If you look on the west pediment of the Supreme Court of the United States, just above the entrance, there's a simple yet profound forward phrase, ‘Equal justice under law.’ We have seen, over the last four years, a Department of Justice that systematically targeted the political opponents of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and that systematically protected his friends and allies and it is tragic to see the loss of confidence in the American people in the Department of Justice and in the FBI. I would note I don't think there's an institution in America who has lost more respect from the American people than the FBI has in the last four years. That is a grotesque violation of the obligation of the Department of Justice and the FBI...I want to be clear for folks at home, I don't want a Republican Department of Justice. I don't want a Democrat Department of Justice. I want a Department of Justice that follows the damn law, and I think the American people do too. That shouldn't be too much to expect.”
