One Particular Day, A Judge Was To Jail Me In LAG, He Deliberately Seized The Case For Friday — Femi Falana

Femi Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, recounted an incident where a judge in Lagos appeared to manipulate the timing of a case against him. Falana revealed that the judge intentionally scheduled the proceedings for Friday, anticipating that if he (Falana) were to be jailed, he would have to wait until Monday morning to file an appeal. He revealed that on the designated day, approximately 28 lawyers, led by the late Alawaka Fasuru, appeared in court, turning the tables on the judge.

Speaking in an interview with Sahara TV, Falana stated that when the judge finally emerged at 11 o'clock, Alawaka Fasuru, in a dignified manner, challenged the judge's lack of apology for the delay. Falana disclosed that Alawaka Fasuru asserted that the judge should "do the needful" and indicated that an apology was expected. He added that the judge responded defensively, emphasising that it was his court and rejecting the notion that an apology was necessary, stating, "No, this is the Lagos State High Court."

According to him, "On a particular day, a judge was to jail me in Lagos. He deliberately seized the case for Friday so that if I were jailed on that day, before I can go and appeal, it'd be Monday morning. Lo and behold, about 28 lawyers showed up in court, and my case was tuned to the trial of the judge. The tram was led by the late Alawaka Fasuru. And you know, in those days, they were lawyers and they were lawyers. This judge came out at 11 o'clock, and without any apology, he said, Registrar, call the case. Alawaka Fasuru stood up in all his majesty. Registrar, don't call the case. My Lord, do the needful. The judge said, What do you mean? You're supposed to apologise to us; we have been here since 9 o'clock. He said, This is my court; no, this is the Lagos State High Court."
