A Jury is a body of people
sworn to give verdict on the basis of the facts presented in court. There are two other members of CCT, one of whom has declined to sit with the
CCT Chairman - that the Chair is a bribe
taker who has lost it. So you have one
member sitting he CANNOT form a jury, in
answer to the question that the 1999
Constitution probably intended a jury trial Faux Pas Blooper.
In cases where there is a
jury, the job of the Judge is to guide them on points of law and they decide on
the facts. In Nigeria however, there is no practice of civil or criminal jury
trials. We have bench trials at every level; where the Judge makes
pronouncements on points of law and the facts in court. REPEAT THE CODE OF
CONDUCT TRIBUNAL IS NOT A COURT OF LAW.
