Jude Onwuegbuzie, a judge sitting in Court 30 @fcthighcourt in Abuja, claims to have granted bail to Tunde Ayeni, the businessman being prosecuted by @officialEFCC for supposed financial crimes.

He says the crimes are bailable.

But he has set conditions designed to frustrate bail. He requires 2 sureties, both of whom must be civil servants of not less than Level 16.

To fulfill bail conditions, one of these civil servants must deposit a bank guarantee of N15 billion Naira liable to be forfeited in case of default of appearance by Mr. Ayeni.

Jude Onwuegbuzie, of course, knows that no #CivilServant can present a #BankGuarantee of N15bn. That person would automatically become jobless & would probably end up in jail under prosecution by #EFCC.

How this impossible bail condition helps to fulfill the goal of trial & accountability beats me. These are not bail conditions. This is evidence of flagrant #JudicialMalpractice.

Through these conditions, Mr. Onwuegbuzie has already inverted the presumption of innocence & found Mr. Ayeni guilty, with no need for a trial.

No judge has a mandate to rewrite the Constitution on such cowardly & corrupt whim and we cannot seek to bring allegations of financial crime to account through this kind of corrupt order.

No one deserves this kind of nonsense. Judges like Mr. Onwuegbuzie are doing their best to bring our judiciary into disrepute & make the courts instruments of executive impunity.

The best thing in this circumstance would be for Mr. Onwuegbuzie to recuse himself from further participation in the proceedings because he has already found Mr. Ayeni guilty before trial. He should do the right thing & return the file to the Chief Judge.

If fails to do so, Mr. Ayeni's lawyers must ensure he does not proceed with the trial because if he does, there is only one way the trial will end. This kind of gross abuse of judicial office benefits no one.

Thanks for having me.

Being a trial lawyer in an extended trial is similar to running a political campaign. It demands sustained adrenaline and resilience, as well as mental and emotional fitness. It is a marathon!
