Rich People In Nigeria Buy Judgment - Senate Leader, Lawan

 

 

Senate Leader, Ahmad Lawan, on Thursday raised the alarm over the alarming rate at which some super rich Nigerians buy judgment to the detriment of the less privileged.

He stated this when the upper chamber was considering the appointment of Justice Abubakar Musa Sadeeq, as the president, Customary Court of Appeal, FCT Abuja.

Lawan said, “Ours is a society where people who have so much money buy judgments. I think that is not the type of society that we want.

“We want a society where those at the lowest line; the vulnerable, the disadvantaged can go to courts and get judgment because they deserve to get those judgments regardless of their socioeconomic status.

“Judiciary, you are expected by Nigerians to be firm, to be fair, to be committed to those ideals that the founding fathers of this country worked and died for; that is to make life better for every Nigerian.”
