Pray - On the debate about removal procedure for CHRAJ boss. I respectfully submit, in summary, that until otherwise provided by law, Commissioners of Independent Constitutional Bodies like CHRAJ, NCCE, EC remain removable under the Article 146 procedure as pertains to Justices of the Court of Appeal. A Petition to the Prez, he refers it to the CJ, the CJ makes a Prima Facie case of “stated misbehaviour or incompetence or …”, sets up the Committee to be constituted as dictated by law, the Committee Investigates the Complaint, submits its Recommendations to CJ, the CJ forwards it to the Prez. The CHRAJ is a quasi judicial body, nothing wrong if its head is subject to the CJ and her Council – the Judiciary being an arm of government. In any case this procedure shows a broad collaborative effort involving even the appointing authority, it’s not a CJ-ONLY-DRIVEN-PROCESS. Let her go to the Supreme Court if she is removed by this process and she disagrees. Why enjoy all the other terms and conditions of justices of the Court of Appeal but vary and seek to avoid this one?
