8 Powerful Nigerians Whose Wives Are Judges -NEWSHELM.COM by Harbdulrasaq(m): 2:15pm On Oct 29, 2016
They are described as the women of the bench in their circles but everyday Nigerians know them as judges. However, not many are aware that they are married to some of the movers and shakers of the nigerian society. Below is a list of women judges whose husbands are powerful Nigerians:


1. Justice Mary Ukaego Odili (née Nzenwa) CFR

Born on May 12, 1952, Mary Ukaego, is a judge and wife of Peter Odili, who served as Governor of Rivers State from 1999 to 2007. She was appointed an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria by former President Goodluck Jonathan and was administered the oath of office by Chief Justice Katsina-Alu on June 23, 2011.


2. Justice Binta Nyako

Binta is one of the four wives of former Adamawa State governor, Vice Admiral Murtala Nyako (rtd). One of the most remarkable things that brought her to the consciousness of many Nigerians was her battle on the home from where she and the other wives of Nyako fought one another to occupy the office of the governor’s wife. The office of the Adamawa first lady was vacant for over 100 days as each of the four wives claimed to be the legal occupant of the controversial office.


3. Justice (DR.) Chioma Nwosu-Iheme

A judge of the Federal Court of Appeal, Justice (Dr.) Chioma Nwosu-Iheme, is the first female judge in Nigeria to read Law up to Ph.D level in the field of ‘Law of Intellectual Property’.

5. Justice Fati Lami Abubakar (Rtd)

Fati, CON, was a former chief judge of Niger State, and founder, Women’s Rights Advancement and Protection Alternative (WRAPA). She is married to former head of state, Gen Abdulsalam Abubakar, and retired recently from the services of Niger State government, at the age of 65.


6. Justice Maryann Anenih

Maryann is the youngest of the three wives of Chief Anthony Anenih, former chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Board of Trustees (BOT), who is better known in political circles as Mr. Fix-It. She is a judge at the Federal High Court in Abuja and daughter of a local government chairman in Edo State.


7. Justice Adedayo Oyebanji

The Lagos State High Court judge is married to Tunji Oyebanji, the Chairman/Managing Director of Mobil Oil Nigeria.


8. Justice Jumoke Pedro

A judge of the Lagos State High Court, Justice Jumoke Pedro, is the wife of bankerturned- politician, Femi Pedro, former Lagos State Deputy Governor.
