A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Oba Maduabuchi, has disclosed how corruption started in the country’s judiciary.
Speaking during an interview on Arise Television monitored by Daily Post on Wednesday, Maduabuchi said the judiciary does not corrupt itself, stressing that it is the people that corrupt it.
He admitted that there is corruption in the judiciary, emphasizing that it started from politicians who are desperate and in 2003 when the PDP wanted to retain power by all means.
“We call it all eyes on the judiciary. Even, whenever the judiciary hold meetings or conferences, that’s the first thing the senior judges warn against. Don’t spoil our name any further, we are getting it bad all over the place.
“Let me just say that the judiciary does not corrupt itself, it is people who go to corrupt the judiciary. It’s litigants that corrupt the judges.
“Maybe they it some lawyers. You know there are two types of lawyers; lawyers that know the law and lawyers that know the judge.
“So if you are a lawyer they know the law, you limit yourself to the business in the courtroom. But if you are one of those that know the judge, when you are charging fees, you also include the one you will pass on to the judge,” he said.
