27 judges to face NJC probe panels over alleged judicial misconduct

The National Judicial Council (NJC) has constituted four probe panels to investigate 27 high court judges in the country over various alleged judicial misconduct brought against them.

This is as the Council issued a letter of advice to Justice O. M. Olagunju of Oyo State High Court to be circumspect as a Judicial Officer before acting, even in the most challenging situation.

Justice Olagunju was said to have used uncouth language in a letter addressed to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, challenging the Council’s decision and its Policy Direction on the appointment of President Court of the Customary Court of Appeal, Oyo State.A

At its 106th meeting presided over by the outgoing Chief Justice of Nigeria CJN, Olukayode Ariwoola, NJC considered the report of its Preliminary Complaints Assessment Committee on 22 petitions written against 27 Judicial Officers of the Federal and State High Courts.

Based on the report of the preliminary committee, the Council em paneled four Committees to investigate allegations in the petitions that were found meritorious.

A statement by the NJC Director of Information, Mr Soji Oye in Abuja however said that the remaining 18 petitions were discountenanced for lacking in merit, abandoned or being subjudice.

The discountenanced petitions are against Hon. Justice Monica B. Dongban-Mensem, President Court of Appeal, Hon. Justices E. O. Williams Dawodu, B. A. Georgewill, Yargata Timpar, S. D. Samchi, Aisha B. Aliyu, A. A. Aderibigbe M. L. Shuaibu, H. A. O. Abiru and Abdulazeez Waziri all of the Court of Appeal.

Others are Hon. Justice John Tsoho, Chief Judge, Federal High Court, Hon. Justices Z. B. Abubakar, James. Kolawole Omotosho, Sunday B. Onu all of the Federal High Court and Justice Okon E. Abang when he was serving at the Federal High Court.

The rest are Hon. Justice Kayode Agunloye of the FCT High Court, Hon. Justice Babagana Karumi of the High Court Borno State, Hon. Justice Maimuna A. Abubakar of the High Court of Niger State, Hon. Justice A. A. Aderibigbe of Osun State High Court and Hon. Justice Aisha B. Aliyu of Nasarawa State High Court.

Besides, NJC placed five Judges on its pre-sanction Watch List register for poor performance and would be recommended to the Council for appropriate sanction if they do not improve on their performance.

Justice Ariwoola in the meeting being the last one before his retirement, appreciated the cooperation he received from members of the Council and the Council’s Secretariat and implored them to extend the same to his successor.

Members of the Council in return eulogised the outgoing CJN and Chairman one after the other and wished him good health in retirement.
