NJC Heavily Slams Judge Ofili-ajumogobia, Terminates Promotion Prospects by seunmsg(m): 5:21pm On Mar 02, 2016 |
The National Judicial Council (NJC), chaired by Hon. Justice Mahmud Mohammed has come down with a heavy disciplinary gavel on Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia of the Federal High Court, warning her and putting her on the “Watch-List” of the Council for the next four years. The judge will also not be considered for any elevation to the Court of Appeal or any Ad-hoc Judicial appointment until she retires from the Bench. A statement by Soji Oye, the Acting Director of Information [of…], said the decisions were taken at a meeting of the Council held on February 24th and 25th. The NJC decisions are a sequel to a petition against her by one Victoria Ayeni alleging misconduct and injustice by Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia for failing to deliver judgment in a pre-election suit between Victoria A. A. Ayeni and Olusola Sonuga and 2 Ors. SaharaReporters has however learned that Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia has some other undisclosed strikes against her, including obtaining money from former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode to set him free of the corruption charges against him in a case before her. It would be recalled that last July, Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia discharged and acquitted Fani-Kayode of all the corruption charges against him. In her dismissal of the charges, she described the prosecution’s case as “feeble”, arguing that it had failed to provide “copious evidence” linking Fani-Kayode with money laundering. In her petition, Ms. Ayeni had alleged that Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia deliberately adjourned the suit several times until the termination of the life span of the Ogun State House of Assembly, a charge the NJC apparently agreed with. It has also emerged that Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia struck a deal with the embattled former Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Patrick Akpobolokemi, who is now being tried on various multi-billion Naira corruption charges, to provide employment for her daughter in exchange for covering up his atrocities in court. The decision of the NJC on Hon. Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia is with immediate effect. http://saharareporters.com/2016/03/02/national-judicial-council-heavily-slams-judge-ofili-ajumogobia-puts-her-“watch-list” 7 Likes 1 Share |

Since NJC has established a serious case of misconduct against the judge, they should just go ahead and dismiss her instead of this light sanctions. Enough of treating corruption in the judiciary with kid gloves. 75 Likes 4 Shares |

The Nigeria judiciary stinks to high heaven.It needs thorough scrubbing with iron sponge to get the desired result and effect. I'm sure the judge wouldn't have struck out the different cases involving Patrick and Kayode if they were ordinary Nigerians. She deserves what ever sanctions she get. Good riddance 27 Likes 2 Shares |

themilanway:I said in a post yesterday that punishing judge Yunusa alone would do little to revert the rot in the judiciary.Now just today,another judge has been sanctioned. But these are just a tip of the iceberg. The judiciary is so corrupt that anything less than an EFCC type bulldozing of the judiciary from the lowest court to the Supreme Court,will be an exercise in futility. 27 Likes |

PROVACATEUR: He might have gotten away with the electoral robbery that happened in Rivers state but trust me, justice will catch up with him one day. Justice Ofili Ajumogobia that was sanctioned by NJC has probably been in the act for so long before justice eventually caught up with her. So, relax and watch as Karma will catch up with Wike. 24 Likes |

Shameless APC reactionaries all over the place. So just because the judiciary staunchily disavowed Buhari's attempt to plunge Nigeria into a dictatorship, that critical arm of government is being tarred with the same brush of corruption? Let the hues and cries continue but men of goodwill will not be complicit in the attempt being made to institutionalise impunity and arbitrariness. The intimidation, demonisation and blackmail will fail woefully. |

maestroferddi: Smh, wailing zombies all over the place, so APC now controls the NJC right? Please see your doctor, what you posted makes no sense at all whatsoever. The woman should be dismissed, sack immediately and prosecuted if needs be, once again we see the judiciary playing the role of a coven, when the poor man or not so powerful commits a crime he gets disgraced and no chant of media trial, but now one of their own have perverted justice by deliberately proposing trial and the best they give her is a slap on the wrist. Wow this is shameful and disgraceful. 16 Likes |
