Judicialism and constitutionalism call for the courts’ fidelity to the law and the Constitution, not political correctness. The contrary leads to the truncation and mutilation of justice.

Like any other, the legal profession has its share of corrupt members. Corrupt lawyers pollute and desecrate the stream of justice. They mislead their clients into believing that favourable judgments are the products of corruption. They have accomplices in the judiciary.

Sadly, Nigeria is among very FEW countries where members of the public steal parts of the public infrastructure built for the common good. In Abuja, vandals pulled down some electric poles and stole solar panels/lamps. Vandals also stole some parts of the 2nd Niger Bridge.

Does our justice system sometimes imprison innocent people or sentence them to death? Remember that in 1989, Justice Chukwudifu Oputa said the Supreme Court is not infallible. That applies to all courts in Nigeria. Only Divine Justice is infallible.

Justice Bello's position, accords with a cartoon by Osazuwa Osagie in the defunct National Concord where a judge, while passing judgment on an accused, is shown to have said: “I BELIEVE you are innocent (of the offence charged), but the law says you are guilty as charged.” 1989

In some cases, the search for justice leads to the unabashed perpetuation of injustice. This consequence confuses those not trained in the niceties of the law. It would be deceitful and outright naivete to believe that every court decision ends in the enthronement of justice.
