Emirship tussle: NBA fumes as CJN summons FHC, Kano CJs over conflicting orders

•NBA demands probe of Judges, lawyers for misconduct

“There is strong indication that the National Judicial Council will conduct an emergency meeting next week where the subject Judges are likely to be invited and subjected to serious investigations.”On its part, the NBA decried that conducts of counsel and the Courts in the handling of the proceedings which culminated in the orders issued by the FHC, the KSHC and demanded the immediate probe of both judges and the lawyers involved in the cases that occasioned the conflicting court orders.

“For a country whose legal resources and expertise have for several decades been exported and positively impacted not only the African continent but the world at large, it is completely unacceptable that the processes of our courts would be deployed in the manner we have witnessed in the last couple of days, on a subject matter that is as clear as chieftaincy dispute.

“I therefore call on the respective heads of the Courts of the Judges concerned, to take immediate steps to look into their conducts with the view to finding any possible abuse of their judicial offices and file a report with the National Judicial Council for necessary action. “I have consistently maintained that the institution of the Judiciary must be guarded jealously by all including the other arms of Government , because the existence, peace, growth, development of any nation is intricately connected with the primary responsibility of the judiciary which is the dispensation of Justice.

“The respect, in which the legal profession in any country is held, is the best indicator of the freedom enjoyed by that country. “This decisive action is a preemptive strategy aimed at averting any potential breakdown of law and order orchestrated by adversaries of the state. In a statement by the spokesperson of the command, SP Abdullahi Haruna, the CP said violators would be made to face the full wrath of the law.

“In the same vein, the Police Command has placed its fully kitted, equipped and motivated personnel on ‘red alerts’ to ruthlessly deal with the situation as any form of security threats in the State would not be tolerated.
