Why Afe Babalola Is Angry With Buhari

afe-babalola-muhammadu-buhariEminent lawyer, Chief Afe Babalola (SAN) is not happy with President Muhammadu Buhari’s government… “There is nowhere in the world you try a sitting judge. You don’t take a sitting judge to court and even the law stipulates that no court process can be served after 7pm. It is when the judges are sacked that you take them to court for prosecution. We are not opposed to the fight against corruption, but that due process must be followed.”

“The DSS has no right to take over the responsibility of the police. If people have evidence against judges, they should report to the NJC. How can you arrest a sitting judge and take him before a magistrate to try him?”
