The Civil Societies Coalition for the Emancipation of Osun State (CSCEO) has chided the National Judicial Commission (NJC) for meddling in Justice Folahanmi Oloyede’s marital squabbles.
The group expressed shock that the chairman of the commission, Chief Justice of the Federation (CJN), Mahmud Mohammed, gave attention to a petition sent to the NJC by one Mrs. Emily Richard-Obire claiming that Oloyede snatched her husband.
CSCEO in a statement in Osogbo, Osun State, signed by its chairman and its director of mobilisation, Comrade Adeniyi Sulaiman and Rev. Theophilus Ayodeji respectively, accused the CJN and the NJC of dancing to the tune of politicians.
“Is it not an irony that several serious issues and many petitions bordering on judicial misconduct against many judges across the country are before the NJC unattended to, yet, the NJC had all the time to intervene in a marital matter of Justice Oloyede?” it queried.
“If this matter had been on with Justice Oloyede since 2011 as claimed by Mrs. Emily Obire, why was she coming out now in 2015 to send a petition to the NJC and at a time she was fighting this battle with Mr. Rauf Aregbesola?
“Justice Oloyede has the right to love and marry whoever she wants under the law and has the right to practice her religion without any hindrance. We wonder how many family matters NJC will need to settle among several judges in the federation.
“We understand the diversionary tactics of Aregbesola and his cronies over the weighty evidence of corruption presented by this erudite judge against the governor. But for NJC to have fallen into this trap beats our imagination as coalition of civil societies.
“We raised the alarm few weeks ago about the over N4.7 billion being raised through Operation Save Rauf Aregbesola Project (OSRAP) to bribe the NJC members and other stakeholders against Justice Oloyede and with the recent happenings we hope that NJC will be able to wash its linen clean in the messy Osun affairs.”
Continuing, the group blasted Barrister Femi Falana for helping to “unearth a dead matter just as to help his friend, Aregbesola, to disgrace courageous Oloyede and to score cheap political points.
“Our group has thoroughly investigated that matter and found out that Mr. Falana was a lawyer to Mrs. Richard-Obire in the divorce case filed with her husband, Mr. Richard Obire in 2012 at the Ikeja High Court in Lagos.
“Already, the case with suit number ID/473HD/2012 has been decided and the court, presided over by Justice (Mrs.) L.A.M. Folami, had legally dissolved this marriage between Mrs. Emily and her former husband and so the case remained closed. We believe that by the law of the federation, Mr. Obire has the right in the world to love whomever he wants and to marry anyone without any prejudice.
“Our group has it on good authority that Emily’s husband had to file a divorce case because he caught his wife (Emily) having an extra-marital affair with another man outside wedlock in Ikeja, Lagos State, in 2010.
“We are sure that the woman judge was able to defend herself as our check at the state High Court indicated that she had replied to this query through the office of the chairman of the Osun State Judicial Commission”, the group stated.

*This story that started like a joke is really becoming nasty.My conclusion is that they should deal with whats private privately and deal with whats public publicly.
Her private life should not be called out because she called out Aregbesola""
The he-goat is the one causing this problem.

The man's wife and d CJ are just plain silly
Abeg aregbesola and his cohorts should let oloyede be o jare

DeleteI have always disliked Aregbe because I have always seen beyond his bullshit service delivery.
ReplyDeleteAnother problem with us (Nigerians) is the fact we will almost always choose stupid issues/non-issues over that which affects us

NJC is a big big disgrace to the legal system.. tsk! tsk!

ReplyDeleteSo the man is even divorced.
ReplyDeleteWitch hunting. Her private life gat noting to do with her public life. They. Should stay out of it
ReplyDeleteWhy are they defensive..?? Private ke? I laugh in swahili kikikikikikikikikikikikiki SDK now say deal with private issue privately. Maybe we leave celebrities private lives lol Double Standard. Stella easy oohh both sides are hot calling out the Governor and having affair with a a man not yet divorced.. Whatever you wish Emily I wish you the same, pressed down shaking together running over!! It is not in your place to choose when how the Lord remembers your plea or fights your battle.
ReplyDeleteThe letter written since 2011 but remembered now by authorities? Well, your timing may not be God's timing.. Let her answer the query..She probably covered the story then make she go answer..
@anon 09:43- u obviously didn't read the story, probably bcos reading makes ur head hurt u! The accuser has been divorced since 2012. A judge is not a celebrity, that's d most stupid thing u uttered. Run along to night school, insolent child!
DeleteThey've achieved their aim.
ReplyDeleteTo disgrace the woman.
Chai! This woman didn't bargain for this I swear
ReplyDeleteThose bad mouthing the courageous judge should turn their searchlight on the said Emily and her shameless daughter and ask her ifcthe court, a public place did not dissolve her marriage because she was fucking another man other than her then husband. Table rousers kept calling the judge homebreaker while knowing that the women broke her own home long before the judge began to relate to Mr obire. Anyway the relevant authorities should look into the petition against aregbesola with same speed and alacrity. Meanwhile, the said falana who knowing that the dead marriage was already dissolved by a court of competent jurisdiction and which he was a counsel therein and yet curryptly allowed himself to be use to obstruct justice should be desciplind accordingly by the judicials system
ReplyDeleteAnother thing is that no where in Nigeria HSS it been said that a wife sacked the husband, it's always a husband sacked a wife. In the bible, what you see is conditions a man may or may not sack the wife, never a condition where a wife may or may not sack the wife. Some people believe that a woman should never be sacked no matter what she does. That is why some people don't want to know whether ms Emily was sacked for adultery or not just that she must remain with the disgusted husband. For a man to seperate how much more divorce his wife, that woman should be some case. Yes some men are terrible. But women remain with terrible men for economic reasons while men won't bother to leave a terrible woman because no economic loss is involved. In the final analysis personal issues should not be deliberately used to cover public matters
ReplyDeleteYou who no nothing about Emily coming here to claim she was sacked for adultery to justify your stand for husband snatchers like you. Lemme just keep calm.. That child with down syndrome Richard abandoned, ceased all properties he bought with Emily changed names refused to train the kids he bore with Emily now channelling the money to the yeye judge.. let those things Judge your consciousness. Stella I wish you get a female child maybe u begin to understand from another angle.
DeleteExactly my point Stella! Why hasn't this issue come up since? Why was it when she called aregbe whatsoever out that her matter now came up? The chief judge of nigeria should be ashamed of himself for even giving credence and attention to the matter. Like there aren't other important judicial issues that require his attention!
ReplyDeleteExactly, her private life should remain private irrespective of whatever is or has been going there. I believe Aregbesola is the one masterminding the whole act. Diverting the attention back to the accuser...
ReplyDeleteThis teddybear na learner.. eg judge Judy Wetin she be?? When stella say private matter e reach everybody celebrity or not.. yeye wisdom.
ReplyDeleteIf it is true that the man caught his wife cheating on him then he was right to walk out of the marriage because men find it very difficult to forgive when their wives cheats on them. Na woman be the mumu wey dey always forgive or turn a blind eye, or blame the other woman for her husband's infidelities. It's looking like the judge will come out smelling of roses in this saga especially if the man is divorced from his wife.
