I was checking to see if we can recommend all fraud cases in Nigeria to Justice Jide Falola of High Court 5, Osogbo.
I came accross this petition dated back to 2008. What a histroy...


NEMESIS appears to have started trailing the nomination of a former controversial Magistrate, Mr. Jide Falola, now a Chief Registrar of Osun State Customary Court of Appeal, as one of Osun State High Court judges, as a coalition of civil societies under the umbrella of Osun State Civil Societies Coalition Against Corruption And Rights Violation (OSCARV) has finally petitioned the National Judicial Council (NJC) on the need to stall his appointment.
The group in a petition addressed to the Chairman of the NJC, Justice Idris Kutigi and dated December 5, stated that Falola lacks the integrity of a person to be appointed to such sensitive and exalted position, adding that his records revealed that he was a biased and partisan magistrate.
The petition showed that the former magistrate had, on various occasions, hurriedly convicted accused persons, despite legal provisions, which presumed them innocent until found guilty, a situation, it said, was born-out of his inability to be dispassionate, especially in cases that involved the ruling party and the opposition.
According to the contents of the letter: "He is always eager to carry out his duties at the instance of the government and not necessarily in accordance with the provisions of the relevant laws". Falola, according to the petition, was said to have heard cases outside his magisterial district, a move borne out of his yearning for vengeance against some members of the Action Congress, whom he blamed for his inability to clinch the party ticket in the days of Alliance For Democracy (AD) before he eventually became a magistrate.
He was also alleged to have acted against the rule of law when some opposition party members, were arraigned before him with various degrees of injuries and did not bother to order that any of the accused persons with visible injuries be given any medical treatment.
...
Falola was also accused of attaching stiff bail conditions granted in his court, which the group said he did to keep such victims in notorious and hurting conditions to the delight of Oyinlola-led administration.
"Opposition party members were asked in Falola's court to produce as sureties, civil servants on salary Grade Levels 15,16, and above, when he is fully aware that Oyinlola's administration was hostile to the opposition and the civil servants are under the strict control of the government.
...
The petition also alleged that Falola went away with the record of his court, when a counsel representing the Action Congress, Mr. Gbenga Akano applied for the record of proceeding in the trial of the suspect arrested over the controversial explosion of June 14, 2007.
...
Falola was also accused of unmeritoriously detaining accused persons, who were witnesses to the atrocities committed by the PDP last April 14, 2007 gubernatorial elections, adding that the innocent victims were ultimately vindicated from the crimes levelled against them.
The group, however, pleaded with the NJC not to consider his nomination for appointment as a judge of high court in the state, adding that he is a minus that should not be accommodated in the judiciary that is already being criticized by the public.
...
Lastly, we call for the immediate withdrawal of Mr Jide Falola from the list of names submitted for selection as Osun State High Court Judge. A corrupt and compromised magistrate like Mr. Falola is a disaster in waiting to the judiciary should he be appointed as an high court judge considering his antecedence while serving as a magistrate.
...
Magistrate Falola may have been trained a lawyer; and taken the oath as a magistrate to dispense justice without fear or favour. But in his dealings with the Action Congress (AC) in the ensuing cases from the bitter and disputed elections of April 2007, the man has picked no bones about dispensing injustice with hearts quaking with fear of the Olagunsoye Oyinlola government (which seems to have him on the leash) and disfavour towards the opposition (which he must judicially crush and be seen to have crushed to have his breaks with that malevolent government). His effort appears duly rewarded with his new posting as the registrar of the Osun Customary Court of Appeal.
Falola may have got his reward. But at what cost has that been to the Osun Judiciary and the image of the Magistracy which, at the best of times, is seedy?
All through the witch-hunting and manufacturing of phantom charges to keep the Osun AC at bay so that Oyinlola could hold on to his stolen mandate, Falola stood firm as a staunch soldier of injustice and oppression, in betrayal of his professional training and oath of office.
...
During the clampdown that followed the violent protest of the rigged elections of April 2007, Falola was the start performer, proudly holding court in the court of injustice, playing shameless consultant to an evil government and projecting to the world, without any qualms whatsoever, that it was sheer bliss living with a dead conscience. When the phantom bomb blast at the Abere secretariat and the predictable attempt to wrap it around the neck of innocent citizens and further ground the opposition, Falola took it as an article of faith, a zealot committed to sinking the just and exalting the wicked. To many an AC partisan, the fear of Falola's court was the beginning of wisdom.
If AC party people are wheeled in and out of jail, and that terrible abuse in a democracy has become quite a norm in Osun State, Magistrate Falola takes the credit as the founding father and pioneer collaborator in foisting that injustice on an already traumatised people. But like every other person that lends his hallowed office to evil, nemesis is due to catch up with him sooner of later.
...
Falola is heading for such undistinguished company - and just as well.
With such scandalous behaviour and soulless profaning of his sacred office, it is Herculean to consider the magistrate a judge worth any salt.
