The National Judicial Council under the Chairmanship of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Honourable Dr. Justice I. T. Muhammad CFR, at its 91st Meeting held online on 22nd and 23rd April, 2020, has constituted a 10-man Committee to come up with urgent practical strategic measures to be put in place in order to ensure Courts continue to function despite the lockdown and Covid-19 challenges;

Council at the meeting also recommended the compulsory retirement of Hon. Justice Francis Chukwuma Abosi, Acting President, Customary Court of Appeal, Imo State and Hon. Justice Aliyu Musa Liman of Bauchi State High Court of Justice with immediate effect.

Hon. Justice Francis Chukwuma Abosi, was recommended for compulsory retirement following the falsification of his date of birth from 1950 to 1958.

Findings showed that he was supposed to have retired in November, 2015 when he clocked the mandatory retirement age of Sixty-five (65) years.

Council decided to recommend for his compulsory retirement to Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State and to also deduct the salaries he had earned from November, 2015 to date from his retirement benefit.

Hon. Justice Aliyu Musa Liman was recommended to the Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed for compulsory retirement pursuant to the findings by the Council for his failure to deliver judgement in suit No BA/100/2010, between Abubakar Isa and Sheik Tahir Usman Bauchi within the three months period stipulated by the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Council viewed His Lordship’s failure to deliver judgement for nearly four years as a misconduct, contrary to Section 292 (1) (b) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, as amended and Rules 1.3 and 3.7 of the 2016 Revised Code of Conduct for Judicial Officers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Meanwhile, the National Judicial Council, in the exercise of its disciplinary powers under the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended, has suspended Hon. Justice Francis Chukwuma Abosi and Hon. Justice Aliyu Musa Liman from office pending the approval of the recommendation of the Council for his compulsory retirement to the their respective State Governors.

Petitions against the following Judicial Officers; Hon. Justice O. A. Musa of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Hon. Justices Muhammed A. Sambo and Sa’ad Ibrahim Zadawa of the High Court of Justice, Bauchi State were dismissed for either lacking in merit or being subjudice.

Council also decided to report Messrs Apeiyi Becon Clement, Ifeanyi Egwasi, Nwafor Orizu, Godwin Nkemjika Chukwukwere, Akopde Haggai Ukuku, Chief Emefo Etudo, Osamudiamen Obarogie and B. S. Onuegbu to the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC) for various acts unbecoming of a Legal Practitioner ranging from unruly behaviour, walking out of Court in the cause of proceedings to submission of false documents to Court.

Council at the meeting also considered the Report of its Interview Committee and recommended Seventy (70) Judicial Officers for appointment as President, Court of Appeal, Grand Kadis, President, Customary Court of Appeal and Judges of High Court of States and the Federal Capital Territory and Kadis of States Sharia Courts of Appeal.

The Council also formally launched its twitter handle @njcNIG and will launch its other platforms at a later date.

Even the judiciary that is the common man last hope is also infested with greedy and corrupt people.

Hon. Justice Francis Chukwuma Abosi, was
recommended for compulsory retirement
following the falsification of his date of birth
from 1950 to 1958.
Findings showed that he was supposed to have
retired in November, 2015 when he clocked the

Good

Following

Corruption has gotten deep into our system to the extend that nothing is working again. Starting from executive to legislature to judiciary, everything is just in comatose. A judge that couldn't be faithful to do the right thing, how will such judge deliver a considerable judgement. Hope is lost to be sincere.

The Same NJC that sat quiet like a deaf and blind puppy when Justice Tanko drove himself to Aso Rock on his own to be sworn in as CJN by Buhari in the evening when there was still an active CJN in the person if Justice Onnoghen and the NJC was not informed neither was the National Assembly informed in what has become the most embarrassing moment of Judiciary in Nigeria , a case that will be sure visited in the future !!!!! Now the same NJC suddenly wants to wield disciplinary powers over small time justices .. I stand to be corrected but I don't think the current Judiciary leadership has the moral right or standing to discipline any Judge because the current leadership of the Judiciary is a product of gross indiscipline and a child of Injustice !!!

Abosi, my man. Go and enjoy your rest.

Good news

It is well

Esprit De corps.

Falsification of documents is a crime, rather than prosecute the forger they let him retire with his pay check.

Perversion of justice is also a crime by deliberately refusing to give judgement he perverted justice. Yet he will be rewarded with s fat pay check and severance package.

NJC should ask itself serious questions.

next

Our judiciary is the weakest in the whole world.

a man falsified age and has enjoyed tax payers money and all you do is compulserily retire.

he should be tried, made to return all salaries and allowances from 2015 to date and jailed.

However, our civil service directors and permsecs all falsified age. If care is not taken, even the CJN falsified age

So, Chukwuma falsified his age and was dispensing justice or injustice...... Wetin handier no go see for Nigeria? How can he effectively dispense Justice when his own hands are soiled? Many of these people in high places all have one or two skeletons in their cupboards..... From falsification of results to using false ages. God wey catch Justice Chukwuma go catch them one by one

compulsory retirement abi lock them up to pay for their crime?

Dem don go shit for church.......lol

Thought it was this Chukwuma on WAEC question paper
That should happen... same thing happened to Kemi Adeosun, false certification.
