The NBA President in a statement he personally signed and issued on Wednesday after the National Judicial Council 102nd Statutory Meeting, said that Senator Bulkachuwa in his statements on Monday clearly admitted that he perverted and interfered with the due administration of justice in Nigeria, hence, he must be investigated and prosecuted.
“And I must thank particularly, my wife, whose freedom and independence I encroached upon while she was in office, and she has been very tolerant and accepted my encroachment, and extended her help to my colleagues...", before he was interrupted by the former Senate President, Senator Ahmad Lawan, who told him, “I don’t think this is a good idea going towards this direction.”
Maikyau further said, “Notwithstanding however, given the office held by his wife which he clearly mentioned in his remarks, no one would be left in doubt as to the sort of help he either succeeded or did not succeed in securing for his colleagues, with whom he had since become good friends and still remain good friends. These colleagues, according to him, only ‘thanked me for what I have done with words of mouth, that was all’.
Maikyau said that at the NJC 102nd meeting, “I took the liberty of my membership of the Council to complain about the rather disgusting and despicable conduct of Senator Bulkachuwa, which was a direct attack on the integrity of the Judiciary. The NJC condemned the actions of the Senator in the strongest terms as an affront to the integrity and independence of the Judiciary.
