Dasukigate:Justice Mahmud Mohammed denies being at war with Buhari, EFCC over court orders

contrary to claims that he had fallen out
with pres. Buhari over his refusal to obey court
orders granting bail to some suspects implicated
in the loot of $2.1b meant for arms
procurement, he was not at war with the
president or any agency of the government.
A top official said that though there were
concerns among judges that some of their
judgement in granting bail to suspects by some
government agencies, there was also annoyance
in the judiciary that many judges had aided and
abetted top government officials to loot the
treasury through frivolous orders and injunctions
which were against the interest of the country
and its people.
The senior official close to the CJN said:
“I don’t think that the CJN has issued any
statement on any court order relating to the
investigation of the arms cash, individuals
or groups since he believes that the courts
are well able to discharge their duties as
enshrined in the laws of Nigeria.
“Again, the thinking in the judiciary seems
to be that some judges misused their
offices to encourage some corrupt key
government functionaries to slip away to
foreign land with huge public funds under
the guise of seeking avant-garde medicare.
“If the question may be asked, was it the
CJN that ordered those judges to work
against the interest of Nigeria by granting
frivolous orders that enabled corrupt
Nigerian public officers to make away with
public funds?
“Let it be known that the CJN does not and
will never encourage any form of misdeed
having taken the oath of office to remain
incorruptible, just and firm in the discharge
of his duties to Nigeria and its people.
“I can tell you that the CJN is aware of the
frivolous orders being issued by some
judges and he cannot, therefore,
sympathise with people who threw their
integrity to the winds when they should
have done the right thing at the right time.”
