“We can read a lot of intention to that which is unconstitutional, undemocratic and unacceptable and because it is not acceptable, the decision taken by that arrangement cannot stand.”
Professor Jumai Audi, who stated this recently during her screening for the NLRC Chairmanship position, maintained that the Orji Uzor Kalu case was an absurdity.
“The administration of criminal justice has to be amended, because you cannot say that a judge, who by law has been appointed to a higher level, should step down in order to decide a case and then catapults himself up again to his normal position. She added that since provisions of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act , relied upon for the judgement could not override that of the 1999 Constitution, it had to be amended.
