The Supreme Court of Nigeria has debunked reports circulating on social media suggesting that Justice Emmanuel Agim accompanied the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, to the convocation ceremony of the University of Calabar on Saturday, 22nd March, 2025.

In a statement signed by the Supreme Court’s Director of Information & Public Relations, Akande Festus, the apex court described the circulating reports as false narrative.

It said that Justice Agim attended the convocation as an esteemed honouree and an alumnus of the institution, whom the Governing Council had found worthy to be conferred with an Honorary Doctorate Degree in Law (Doctor Honoris Causa).

The apex court emphasize that Justice Emmanuel Agim’s participation at the ceremony was independent and not as an official representative of any government ministry or department, let alone accompanying any serving or retired government official.

I[b]t added that any insinuation to the contrary is not only inaccurate but undermines the judicial independence that is crucial to our democracy.[/b]

The statement reads,

“In light of the reports circulating on social media and other news platforms, we wish to clarify the circumstances surrounding the attendance of Hon. Justice Emmanuel Akomaye Agim of the Supreme Court of Nigeria at the convocation ceremony of the University of Calabar on Saturday, 22nd March, 2025.

“It has come to our attention that misleading information has emerged, suggesting that Hon. Justice Emmanuel Agim accompanied the Hon. Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mr. Nyesom Wike to the ceremony.

“We hereby dispel this false narrative.

“Hon. Justice Agim attended the convocation as an esteemed honouree and an alumnus of the institution, whom the Governing Council had found worthy to be conferred with an Honorary Doctorate Degree in Law (Doctor Honoris Causa).

“He was recognized for his significant contributions to the legal profession; which is a reflection of his commitment to justice, integrity, and the rule of law, serving as a model for aspiring legal professionals and students alike.

“Hon. Justice Agim was scheduled to attend the burial ceremony of Hon. Justice Stanley Alagoa alongside other Hon. Justices of the Supreme Court in Bayelsa State but sought permission to go for the convocation ceremony.

“We wish to emphasize that Justice Emmanuel Agim’s participation at the ceremony was independent and not as an official representative of any government ministry or department, let alone accompanying any serving or retired government official.

“Any insinuation to the contrary is not only inaccurate but undermines the judicial independence that is crucial to our democracy.

“We encourage the public and media to information through credible sources before sharing or publishing to prevent the spread of misinformation.”

Wike is a man of honor.

Why then must he be given a seat near Wike knowing fully well how controversial Wike is in the current polity?
Sometimes I just wonder what Wike stands to gain from controversy

A man that keep on bragging of how he ed politicians all over the country with River state money and the government looks away from that.

Nigeria can never get better a Tinubu government

Ok

Supreme court of demons, who takes you seriously 😒😳.

University of Calabar honoured him because he handed over rivers treasury to Efik man abi? Through fictitious judgement?

Keep talking we dey hear 🙉🙉🙉

The shalaye is unnecessary

Let the wailers hit their heads on something soft

Those wailers have refused to get a meaningful life devoid of wailing. A day without them wailing is an incomplete day. Make una no take the breathing oxygen from them. Allow them to wail

No be the same government that the former SC Aroowola was seen openly frolicking with politicians? He was trying to disguise himself in London but was exposed. They can attempt to denied whatsoever bad precedence they set, however it always comes back hard to hunt them.

Thieves, God punish all of you

Supreme Court of Wike, na who dey answer una again

Una shame dey outside like mad man for market square.

Useless set of people

Pinocchio no wonder his nose is getting longer

I have said anything politicians touch they will destroy it beyond recognition. Play with them at your own peril. Your white cloth go hear am.

Student Union - NANS
ASUU
NLC
TUC
Judiciary
INEC
Police
Army
DSS
Media - TV and Print
Whatever it is, give them the chance and they will destroy it. There was a time DSS was respected but when politicians got involved, they had to start defending themselves every now and then in the media. Now look at what Supreme Court has turned to😏

The judiciary is currently in wike's armpit, maybe when he got there he simply scooped out justice agim , useless judiciary, una go explain tire

Dishonorable Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria waiting to collect balance for the job well done!

Anything fg denies is d TRUTH

He shouldn't have been there in the first place. The supreme Court is insensitive. Such public function should be avoided especially when an I terested party who has a penchant for corrupting the Juciary is in attendance.

Who cares if he accompanied Wike or not? We all know Wike is the head of Nigeria’s judiciary via bribes and inducements so whether he accompanied him or not does not matter.The Supreme Court recent judgements regarding Rivers State political crisis speaks for itself.

Leave explaining, it's unnecessary, you already spoilt the state

Lol… a whole Nigerian Supreme Court is now Wike spokesperson..a supposed sovereign nation in 21st century! Look at what mandate thief have reduced Nigeria to Shame, shame, shame!
