0.6 Billion Naira Found In Former Chief Judge's Bank Account by stephanie11: 3:43am On Jan 12, 2017
Bank account running without BVN

The Economic and financial crimes commission, EFCC, recently made a startling discovery while investigating a former chief Judge of Enugu state, Azubuike Umezulike. The anti-graft commission reportedly uncovered N632 million in a secret account owned by the judge.

Investigations by the commission further revealed that the money in the account came from lawyers, businessmen, politicians and litigants. Suspicions strengthened when it was discovered that the account was run without a bank verification number (BVN).

Umezulike has been invited by the commission for interrogation on January 17 over the suspicious lodgements.

The NJC on September 29, 2016 recommended Justice Umezulike for compulsory retirement alongside Justice Mohammed Tsamiya, who was the Presiding Justice of the Ilorin Division of the Court of Appeal

Justice Kabiru Auta of Kano State High Court was recommended for dismissal.

The NJC said it recommended Umezulike to Governor Justice Lawrence Ugwuanyi of Enugu State for compulsory retirement for “delivering judgment in a case 126 days after final addresses were adopted by parties, and for other instances of abuse of office”.

The council also found Justice Umezulike guilty of allegedly “receiving a donation of N10m from a businessman, Prince Arthur Eze, during his book launch while two cases in which Eze was said to have had “vested interest”, were in the judge’s court.”

if this is true, throw his arrse in jail. He has no reason to have that type of money in his bank account for whatever reason.
But what happened to evidence etc, we are tired of condemning people just because they were posted on the Internet.

Wishy washy news. Unfortunately, not many Nigerians know the difference between a real journalist and these blackmailers.

Nigerians should know that it is not everybody with a phone, a laptop, a Facebook page or a blog is a journalist.

Who spoke with the purveyor of this news item, who did he speak with and how was the investigation conducted, if any?

No matter how ppl support anyone, if the person is guilty he will be dealt with and if he isn't guilty he will be freed. The end of the matter will determine the truth. I ve learnt not to believe nigeria media again. So fighting over a news online is like a kid getting excited cos he told his dad to buy a car when he is coming home.
