Without any doubt, it is quite clear that Chief Justice Ekaette Obot of Akwa-Ibom state in Nigeria is working for Governor Udom Emmanuel, who filed a libel suit against Mr. Leo Ekpenyong, whom Mr. Inibehe Effiong is defending at the court of law in Akwa-Ibom state. Based on what transpired in the court, as alleged, Chief Justice Ekaette Obot went too far. She should not have ordered Mr. Inibehe Effiong (a human rights lawyer) to be taken to prison. This is another way of intimidating lawyers from expressing themselves in a court of law, which is unacceptable. The Viewers Corner News team is calling on the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), National Judicial Council (NJC) and other judiciary-related bodies in Nigeria to call Chief Justice Ekaette Obot of Akwa-Ibom state to order. This time around, she overstepped her boundaries.
