\n
A group, Advocacy for Justice and Good Governance (AJGG) has called for the prosecution of the Kano State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Haruna Isa Dederi for accusing Justices of the Appeal Court of corruption.<\/p>\n
Its coordinator, Francis Nzeoke, in a statement issued Saturday, asked the Commissioner to come forward and give the specifics on who the actual corrupt judges he was referring to are.<\/p>\n
DAILY POST recalls that Dederi had on Wednesday appeared on Channels Television programme \u2018Sunrise Daily\u2019 where he made allegations about the justices of the Appeal Court.<\/p>\n
The Coordinator claimed that the recent development in Kano over the election litigations has been making officials of the state government threaten, harass judges and malign the judiciary.<\/p>\n
Nzeoke stressed that the group alongside other NGOs would speak out against any attempt by politicians to bully judges and justices.<\/p>\n
He called on the Nigerian Bar Association to ensure that appropriate disciplinary measures are taken against its erring members.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are calling on the authorities to question Dederi so that he provides evidence of all the allegations he made on Channels Television. If he cannot, he should be arrested and prosecuted.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are worried about the turn of events in recent times where politicians lose cases in the court and resort to dishing out threats on justices. It is a bad omen for our democracy and the rule of law, \u201d the group said<\/p>\n
