Popular Enugu Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, has called for the arrest of more judges, saying that God was revolutionalising Nigeria with the arrest of judges who were hitherto, the untouchables.
Mbaka desccribed the recent arrest of some judges on allegations of corruption as a supernatural brand new revolution that is going on in all dimensions, in all the three arms of government.
The priest, who is the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Emene, Enugu, stated this at the thanksgiving mass to mark the Enugu State Judiciary 2016/2017 legal year at the Adoration ground.
He said that though some of the arrested judges may not be corrupt as alleged, it is good that they be investigated and if found culpable, imprisoned to serve as a deterrent to others.
He said: “When a revolution starts, you cannot imagine where it would reach.
“I urge judges to remain incorruptible or be arrested and whoever arrests them should be praised.”
He also lauded the performance of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State. , describing it as an exemplary display of visionary leadership.
Rev. Fr. Mbaka also noted that it’s instructive that Ugwuanyi’s administration has enthroned peace across the state and united diverse political interests, urging the people to “continue to support his administration because it has been anointed by God”.
The cleric also advised legal practitioners to have the fear of God and eschew corruption in the discharge of their responsibilities.
