President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday approved the compulsory retirement of Honourable Justice A. F. A Ademola of the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court and the dismissal from office of Honourable Justice O.O Tokode of the Benin Division of the Federal High Court.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, in a statement, said this followed recommendations from the National Judicial Council (NJC).

He said the disciplinary actions on the two Justices were in pursuance of section 292 (1) (b) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).

According to Shehu, "Justice O.O. Tokode is also to refund all salaries and allowances earned illegally from 2nd December, 2015 when he was sworn-in as a Judge of the Federal High Court to date."

He said the president urged judicial officers to be alive to their responsibilities and eschew corruption in the discharge of their duties.

Unfortunately, this forum is gradually overtaken by bunch of jobless, bigot, illiterate 'small boys' who find it appealing to comment carelessly on any issues that has to do with governance.
All they express is hatred, and anger towards towards particular religion, region and tribe. It is indeed th greatest act of cowardice.
It so regrettable that such underage cowards are allowed to use phones to go wild on social media with no law to persecute them.
I think in nearest future, government shld enact laws to guide the use of social media.... for stability and peaceful coexistence of the country.

Buhari and APC have started positioning judiciary for 2019 elections.

Well we electorates are watching every judiciary officials conducts in this coming 12 months elections.

Corrupt president Buhari firing those that have fallout with him, while recalling all those ought to have been holding the bars.


INEC, Judiciary, security agencies and Fulani herdsmen terrorists and some few other lazy, hungery looking PVCs holders who are always selling their future for N1000 campaigns sharing funds from APC looters. Are the reason Nigeria is being called the Zoo and shitholes.


Why is president Buhari scared of sacking his government cabals, even when their corruptions are opened to the blinds to see?

Well, Buhari has never pretended to like the rule of law or judges of any sort. Whether corrupt or not. Dictators never like rule of law. Whether they are wearing khaki or civilian garb in government.

President Buhari sacks two judges- Premium Times
Following recommendations from the National Judicial
Council (NJC), President Muhammadu Buhari has
approved the compulsory retirement of Justice Adeniyi
Ademola of the Abuja Division of the Federal High
Court and the dismissal from office of Justice O.O
Tokode of the Benin Division of the Federal High Court.
According to a statement by presidential spokesperson,
Garba Shehu, the disciplinary actions on the two
Justices are in pursuance of section 292 (1) (b) of the
1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
(as amended).
Justice O.O. Tokode is also to refund all salaries and
allowances earned illegally from December 2, 2015
when he was sworn-in as a Judge of the Federal High
Court to date.
“The President urges judicial officers to be alive to
their responsibilities and eschew corruption in the
discharge of their duties,” Mr. Shehu said.
In a separate statement, also signed by Mr. Shehu,
President Buhari said he has commenced “the process
of ensuring that persons, judges and justices
recommended by the National Judicial Council (NJC)
for appointment into various Courts of Record in the
instant are fit and proper, and are not under any
disability to function as Judicial Officers.”
“The President’s position is in furtherance of the
executive powers vested in him under Section 5 of the
1999 Constitution, which allows him as the appointing
authority to exercise same reasonably, taking all
relevant factors into consideration,” the statement said.
“Nigerians are assured that President Buhari will issue
his approval or otherwise as soon as the process of
the background verification is completed.”
The NJC had at its meeting of December 6, 2017
recommended the compulsory retirement of Mr.
Ademola and Mr. Tokode for professional misconducts.
The Council said Mr. Ademola who had forwarded his
notice of retirement on October 10, 2017 to the
Council against April 9, 2018, when he will attain the
mandatory retirement age of 65 years was
recommended for compulsory retirement from office
pursuant to the findings by the Council on the
allegation contained in the petition written against him
by a group of eight persons under the name of
Committee of Anambra State PDP House of
Representatives members-elect alleging the following:-
· that His Lordship heard their Suit No. FHC/ABJ/
CS/177/2015 which was adjourned for judgement on
March 25, 2015;
· that on the adjourned date, His Lordship did not
deliver the judgement but adjourned the case sine die,
to await the decision of the Supreme Court on another
matter on the same issue, on is the list of PDP
candidates for Anambra State for the General Elections
of 2015;
· that His Lordship speedily heard and delivered
judgement in another case in Suit No. FHC/ABJ/
CS/254/2015 filed later on the same issues, with
intent to confer undue advantage on the Plaintiff who
is from a family with which the Respondent has
relationship;
· that the Certified True Copy (CTC) of the judgement
ultimately given to the petitioners contained a
paragraph that was not read in open Court by the Hon.
Judge and that a phrase was altered, all to address an
issue raised in the appeal that had already been filed
by the Petitioner before the issuance of Certified True
Copy (C T C);
· that some of the reasoning and conclusions of the
Hon. Judge were summersaults;
· that the Respondent finally delivered judgement in the
case on 8th July, 2016, five (5) months after the
Supreme Court delivered the judgement he was
awaiting contrary to the Constitutional provisions that
judgements should be delivered within a period of 90
days.
· Though the Petitioners withdrew their petitions in
accordance with Regulation 16 of the National Judicial
Council Judicial Discipline Regulations of 9th March,
2017, Council viewed His Lordship’s action of non-
delivery of judgement within the stipulated time as
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.
On Justice Tokode, the NJC said he was recommended
for compulsory retirement from office with immediate
effect sequel to the findings of Council on the
allegation contained in petitions forwarded by Socio-
Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP)
and Abimbola Awogboro.
The council said, “The petitioners accused the Judge of
misleading the Federal Judicial Service Commission and
the National Judicial Council, by submitting six
judgements he claimed to have personally conducted
while practising as a lawyer; a pre-requisite for his
application for appointment as a Judicial Officer, and
was so appointed.
“The Investigation Committee of Council however found
that the Judge personally conducted only one of the six
cases submitted.
“Therefore, Council decided to recommend his
compulsory retirement and the refund of all salaries
and allowances he earned since his purported
appointment to the position of a Judge to the coffers
of the Judiciary.”

Juxtapose this with the reinstatement of Prof Yusuf (NHIS), you'd realize that mr. confused is not bothered about the effects of his decision on the populace. He's just there to mark register as being once a president.
