"6th, would your Lordship and the NJC acknowledge that the claimed visit by Mr Amaechi to the official home of Justice Okoro to purportedly talk about decision Appeals was roused, encouraged and empowered by the evident disappointment by the NJC to guarantee, as a feature of its characteristic and verifiable protected obligations: (1) that framework was set up to guarantee quick and exhaustive examination of assertions of political obstruction in the legal framework and where there is at first sight confirmation, to allude such charges to suitable anticorruption commissions and organizations for further examination and conceivable arraignment, in strict understanding with the gauges of national laws and universal law including the UN Convention against Corruption; (2) that any such framework was working in a persistent and compelling way?"
