Confirmed reports, available on Secret Reporters news desk, show that corrupt judges exist in the Cross River State Judiciary.
In fact, they are out to scuttle a murder case which has lingered since 2014.
It included Derrick Maurice and five other persons who were extra judicially killed by 14 dismissed policemen in Calabar, Cross River State.
The likes of Justice Michael Edem, of Court 2, are a known biased judge in the judiciary.
He had presided over the murder case, until the case was withdrawn from his court.
Reports from top sources in the judiciary have it that over 80% of the judgments he has delivered has been on cash and carry basis.
Hence, the reason the murder case was withdrawn from his court, which no one has confidence on.
Ashwu Ewa, a so-called corrupt judge, has a younger brother, Raphael Ewa who was at the time the O/C SARS, among the 14 dismissed policemen.
He has vowed that, the case will never see the light of the day, in as much as Cross River State judiciary is concerned.
He has boasted severally, that his brother, Raphael, though guilty, will never go to jail.
It has been confirmed that, he has mounted severe pressure, on his fellow corrupt compatriots cum judges in the judiciary, to frustrate the case, in any means possible.
Justice Ogbojo Ogar, who hitherto was an unbiased judge, has been found to be Cross River State’s most corrupt judge.
He made history in granting 14 dismissed policemen bail, and was quoted as saying:
“These men have been away from their families for too long.
“They need to return home and be with their families,” referring to the dismissed policemen.
Sources say there are allegations that over N10 million has exchanged hands between Ogbojo and the dismissed officers’ families.
That, with Justice Ewa contributing the highest, in a bid to kill the case at court 4, where Ogbojo currently presides.
In what may seems like a child’s play in court, Corrupt Justice Ogbojo nearly struck out the case in court on Friday.
The defence lawyers had urged him to do so, claiming that the case lacks merit.
We can report on good authority that, ethnic and tribal sentiments have overtaken the merits of the case.
The judges, on the other hand, have vowed never to send their Cross River brothers to prison.
