Thalba The Thief : Pension Fraud Trial Judge Suspended For One Year By NJC by Pennywise(m): 5:54pm On Apr 29, 2013 |
The judge who presided over the pension scam trial and gave light sentence to one of the accused persons, has been suspended for one year without pay by the National Judicial Council (NJC). Justice Abubakar Talba of the FCT High Court imposed a mere N750,000 to convicted felon, John Yakubu Yusuf, who stole billions of pension fund. The NJC has proven by this decision that the Judiciary is capable of at least some measure of self cleansing. Nigerians hope that this is a first step towards the dismissal and prosecution of this shamed judge. Justice Thalba represents the face of a scam perpetrated against Nigerians using his court to give lawful authority. He colluded with a self-confessed police pension thief on one hand and Lamorde's EFCC on the other. The question is why has Ibrahim Lamorde not been dismissed yet or at least suspended? |
