In an interview with TVC News, Dania argued that judges often face public backlash for their rulings because they act independently and resist external pressures. He specifically highlighted the work of Justice Lifu, whose recent decisions have sparked debate, and praised Justice Joyce Abdulmalik for her ruling to restrict federal allocations to Rivers State. Dania emphasized that both judges upheld judicial principles despite challenging circumstances.

“When a judgment is sound and sparks controversy, it often means the judge has refused to succumb to external influences,” Dania remarked, underscoring the value of judicial independence.

He further noted that such rulings demonstrate integrity and transparency, contrasting them with instances where judicial impartiality might be questioned. “This judgment by Abdulmalik, subject to further scrutiny, reflects an intact sense of integrity,” he said, urging recognition of judges who maintain fairness and objectivity rather than criticism.

Dania’s defense serves as a reminder of the critical role judicial independence plays in upholding the rule of law, particularly in politically sensitive cases.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
