Before now I have told a friend that this #integritytest thing is going to be a weapon to knock out those who is not in line with what the establishment wants or perceived oppositions of the government

This story about how 34 lawyers failed integrity test in the hire process for new judges of @FederalHigh is factually inaccurate. Even worse, it is criminal propaganda being used to tarnish the candidates. 1st, indeed, there were integrity petitions against 1 or 2 candidates which turned out to be founded. But that did not affect any number remotely approaching double digits. 2nd, the main ground on which most candidates were excluded at the level of the #FJSC was that they did not have insider leverage, #godfather or #godmother. It had nothing to do with absence of integrity in most candidates. The people who failed #IntegrityTest were not the candidates for the most part. They were the people on the other side of the table. Having successfully banalised & corrupted judicial recruitment, what they now seek to do with this story is to re-victimise their victims. #ThatSucks! @daily_trust pls take note & please feel free to verify independently. It is most unfair to most of the candidates whose credentials were quite competitive & some of whom - on all parameters - actually beat out many of those eventually recommended & whose only qualification was that they came leveraged by political or judicial insiders or both. dailytrust.com/34-lawyers-fai…
