In order to further protect our judiciary from executive, legislative and political interference, a Jury legal system should be introduced so as to give the power of interpreting the logic of a case for the court, to the masses.
Inspite of our seeming loathsome to the concept, most seemingly because it is foreign, I candidly believe it would rid Nigerians of the jungle justice mentality, help us be more objective and give us a sense of partnership in the Nigerian project.
Of course, these same judicial officers want to remain in the good books of the government of the day, hence many would do the needful to protect the pipers, however, if we remove most of these moral burdens of choosing between what’s right and wrong, or if to serve justice for the masses or skew it for the oligarchs, we can help them develop a conscience by our own interpretation and stance for the truth.
Justice is the last hope for the common man, so why doesn’t the common man become a custodian of the law through JURY judicial system?
