The Justice Lawal Uwais Stakeholders Judicial Reform Committee has indicted the National Judicial Council, NJC, of the Justice Aloysius Katsina-Alu era of high handedness and abuse of procedure in its recommendation for the suspension of the Justice Ayo Salami, former President of the Court of Appeal, PCA.

The Committee therefore, in its recommendations which had been submitted  to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Dahiru Musdapher asked for the recall of Justice Salami from suspension.

In asking for the recall of Salami, the committee noted that the reconciliation between the former CJN, Katsina-Alu and the former PCA was critical to the renewal of the good reputation of the Judiciary in the country.

According to the report of three committees set up by the NJC to look into the matter, non found reason to indict Salam[/b]i and wondered how the recommendation for his suspension (Salami) [b]was contrived.

However, it established that the CJN (Katsina-Alu) wrote a letter as chairman of the NJC to the Justices of the Court of Appeal dealing with the Governorship Election Petition in Sokoto that they should “put on hold” the delivery of judgement in the petition until the petitions against them were cleared
