Coalition raises alarm over alleged move by politicians to blackmail judiciary

The Coalition Against Corruption and Injustice, CACI, in Nigeria, has raised concerns over alleged plots by some desperate politicians to compromise the independence of the Nigerian judiciary.

This followed a recent call by a group, Joint Action for Democracy, JAD, demanding the removal of Justice John Tsoho, Justice Peter Lifu, and Justice James Omotosho due to the political crisis rocking Rivers State.

DAILY POST reports that the three justices had in recent times issued orders regarding the crisis in Rivers State.

Reacting to the call for their removal, the coalition in a statement signed by Prince Livinus Itodo, accused loyalists of the Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara of masterminding the call.

According to the statement, the call by the Joint Action for Democracy, JAD, “is a thinly veiled attempt to undermine the judiciary’s integrity.”

The statement read: “The judiciary is a sacred institution, essential to our democratic system. Its independence and impartiality are non-negotiable. If we allow politicians’ tactics to succeed, the consequences will be far-reaching.

“The judiciary’s integrity will be compromised, leading to widespread disillusionment with the justice system. The independence of the judiciary is crucial to our democratic system.

“Compromising this independence will have devastating consequences for our democracy. A compromised judiciary will create an environment where injustice thrives and the rule of law is disregarded.”
