What baffles me is the impunity ...Very true indeed. What baffles me is the impunity with which the so called Attorney General parades himself. <br />In recent times we have had more than a few legal somersaults, not least being the ruling handed down by His Lordship Justice Marcel Awokulehin in the case of James Onanefe Ibori. While the country is still reeling from the shock of that ruling, another, and even more perfidious unconstitutionality is about to be perpetrated i.e having the outgoing Chief Justice swear in his succesor. How much lower can we sink?<br />As a student of Constitutional Law, i am all too aware of what sort of message these sort of acts send out to the world as a whole. Judges do not make Law, but their rulings and judgements form the basis of the Common Law from which all other law have their origin. A situation therefore where otherwise respected judges soil their robes for a bowl of porridge is not only heart rending, but utimately sinful beyond pardon. Nigeria has reached the stage where very drastic measures need to be put in place, people MUST be punished to the full extent of the dictates of the Law otherwise our children, grand children and indeed generations not yet conceived will curse our memory for leaving behind a society best described by Thomas Hobbs.Isioma Louisanoreply@blogger.com
