Is his name Magu or Mugu or does illiteracy run so deep in aso rock...
If a person is accused and charged to court, it is within the constitutional rights of the accused to seek legal advise from lawyers and be represented in court by a legal representative... What kind of system does EFCC and buhari want to run in the country, is it the boko haram method of judgement where an accused just has his head cut off once he is seen as gulity...

Salihu • 8 years ago

You are the Mugu, because you seems not to have red and properly understand what he said. My prayer to you is that may you fall in the hands of 419ers and after duping you heavily, one lawyer will come and use the legal technicalities Magu is talking about and turn you to a suspect and not complainant. May be only then you will understand what he is saying.

D.S. • 8 years ago

Maybe when the police arrest you and throw you in cell under the pretence of you breaking the law then claim you are guilty without you being taken to court then pass judgement on you thereafter shoot you ...all this while you will be screaming '' human right, human right, I need to see my lawyer''....then just before the police officer puts the trigger, you remember that you have no means of proving your innocence and will not have your day in court ....hmmmm ...then you will understand the importance of everyone having their day in court...the only body empowered to pronounce an accused guilty is the court of law... for the educated minds, they understand the importance of separation of powers between the cops, jury and executioners...tthis is not the era of judge dredd

This magun man shouldn't b allowed to open his terrible gob in public places for goodness sake. His type shouldn't b heading sensitive govt agencies in this modern times. What a disgrace.

Jacky • 8 years ago

Magu is absolutely the right man for the EFCC job. His intelligence and boldness can be seen in recent cases the commission is prosecuting. The NBA President; Mr Aleghe can pretend all he wants but the truth is that he doesn't support the anti-corruption war. The same NBA President who didn't see anything wrong when Joseph Daudu (SAN) publicly lampooned Justice Umar of the CCT and accused him of bias for his insistence on the trial of Bukola Saraki, has now turned around to accuse President Buhari of intimidating the Judiciary for the mere reason that Mr President said "the Judiciary is his main headache". But isn't the Judiciary a big problem for Nigeria?

The law is a trade, politics a trade, fuelsubsidying, a trade, importing and exporting a trade, forwarding and backwarding, a trade. All they that are involved in any trade in naija strive to make the best out of their trade; so called criminals not excepted. Besides, would the lawyer actually want to go for a cup of water instead of a bucketful when he needs to bathe? Everyone needs some share of the national cake - even they that are inside the efcc. Blink a moment and see what happens when you open your eyes. The efcc guys know sincerely that they are not wearing any immune shield against the virus that causes ''Pinch-the-Cake'' syndrome. Just that the chance hasn't slipped in yet.

if the criminals paid the lawyers to defend them there is nothing wrong with it. it is their profession to give best advise to their client. Magu was sacked because of corruption, before Buhari who glorify corruption people appoint him as EFCC chairman.

Rommel, what brought Jonathan into this matter?. Did Jonathan made your sisters your daughters?. Why the hate?

Rommel • 8 years ago

Well he used an expression that was used by a very credible international news media recently to describe president Jonathan,can you now see the linkage?

D.S. • 8 years ago

A credible international news media claimed recently that it is better to have a chimpanzee running things in aso rock then Buhari ....it also claimed that buhari has being a long time supporter of boko haram which makes him terrorist in aso rock... Then that brings me to the general view that buhari is an illiterate and official dullard of duara...

Burning Spear • 8 years ago

I think this Magu of a man is going insane--period---The question he is really asking is why Murder suspects should ever be allowed to hire lawyers----in court-?--------Once an allegation of murder is levelled against any human being pronto-that person must be executed by Buhari the boko haram way--Have his throat slit in the fire place!----We call that the (muzo muzo) Jihadist boko haramic law of the Fulani North--It has no regard for the laws- of the land-------Monkey! -----See the type of drug affected mental cases we have as head of the Buhari Gestapo-in efcc?----Sadly he is from the North- which has for 55 years, tried to destroy Nigeria with their draconian demonic law of the jungle ideas--Tribalism again abi?---Whether criminals hire lawyers to defraud government or not, is not the business of this mumu man--in efcc---period---------That is for the courts to decide-------Only God knows how this man became head of EFCC---he is a National disgrace! Yet a media house carried this insultive news item in praise of such an empty brain-for us to read abi? Nigeria is in some real trouble--with these agents of the Fulani empire in Aso rock---now-

Where do you get that from. Every and all accuse of criminal cases are treated as criminal until discharge and acquitted. Only that you can put pronounced them guilty and jailed until proven so. So how do you treat an armed robber caught red handed killing his victim?

efcc needs a new leader • 8 years ago

The Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, yesterday, urged President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure that his fight against corruption was conducted within the ambit of the law. President Muhammadu Buhari NBA, which is the umbrella body of legal practitioners in the country, decried what it described as over-zealousness by security agencies currently engaged in the prosecution of alleged corrupt persons, who it said had by their conduct, exhibited little regard for the due process of the law. National President of the association, Mr. Augustine Alegeh, SAN, spoke at a valedictory court session held in honour of Justice Muhammad Muntaka-Coomassie, who bowed out of the Supreme Court bench, yesterday, upon clocking the 70 years mandatory retirement age. He lamented that recently, “security operatives moved inside a court room to arrest a suspect. We wondered why they could not wait for the person to step out of the court before executing the arrest. While we commend the ongoing effort to rid the nation of corruption, what we are saying is that the fight must be conducted within the law. “The NBA does not condone corruption, our point is that the war can be conducted within the armbit of the law and civility. Certainly, it can be won without breaching the principles of rule of law upon which our democracy is built.” The NBA condemns in its entirety the generalisation and/or categorization of the Judiciary as being corrupt and an impediment to the zero corruption policy of the present administration. “While acknowledging that there may be a few bad eggs in the system, the NBA restates unequivocally that the categorization of the entire Judiciary as corrupt is a misconception and will stand solidly behind the Judiciary in any attempt to intimidate or harrass its personnel.

I disagree with the EFCC chairman,the job of a lawyer is to defend both the innocent and the guilty even when the lawyer knows they committed the crime so for him to say such he his out of point

Sir Demo • 8 years ago

And to pervert and facilitate defeating the end of Justice?

Onike24 • 8 years ago

Ah, yes but he must do so as an officer of court, he cannot surborn perjury for instance, he should not communicate with the Judge Ex parte, etc. It seems Proffesional ethics have no place in Nigeria, this is the same NBA that cannot draw attention that we have a Judge serving on the bench of the same state that her husband is now Governor. How does that happen? What is the Judicial service Commision's Job? It is starting to appear completely hopeless.

Du Covenant • 8 years ago

So you think in organised societies they don't defend their clients professionally?. The NBA is supposed to put professional guidelines in place for all lawyers to follow while discharging their services. The NBA must define a reasonable time frame within which all cases must be dealt with, not perpetual adjointments, bails etc...,the NBA must also put sentencing gudelines in place to be followed by all and sanctions should be in place and not the current chaos we have.

Sir Demo • 8 years ago

NBA is but only a professional society and can not do what you are asking.

Cloud2023 • 8 years ago

The job of a lawyer is to defend the innocent and the guilty. However, his job is to plead for leniency, once guilt has been proved beyond reasonable doubt, and not to aid the criminals to get away with crime.

Sir Demo • 8 years ago

I for one can't get the logic in your argument.

El Patron • 8 years ago

And i this is what baffles me about lawyers. Frankly they are more of a problem than a solution sometimes. How can you know that your client stole billions of naira that could have been used to construct roads, schools, and provide enough infrastructure for a full city and then you go to court and defend this person and LIE that he is not guilty, just because he pays you well. How do these people sleep at night? I bet you every single one of the people currently accused of diverting the arms fund will be found innocent, after all the prosecution has to prove beyond reasonable doubt which is notoriously difficult, while the defense just has to create an atom of doubt in the mind of the judge and/or jury

Did you miss this part of the statement? "by knowingly supplying the technical know-how and later, helping in the dispersal of the proceeds of crime." It is called aiding and abetting.

Nigerians and courtesy visit. Let everybody stay where they are supposed to work and do their jobs so the country can move forward. What's the purpose of courtesy visit?

Angry Niaja • 8 years ago

That's how they warm their ways into and compromise people, they have gone to test the waters, first solidarity visits, then the brown envelopes. Let EFCC do its work for now, no visits. We shall soon hear that Methuselah, Dansuki, Badeh and co are innocent. Last week we were told some EFCC operatives were bribed with 45,000 dollars, nothing has since been heard of that, Nigeria and abracadabra
