Embattled Acting Chief Judge Of Kebbi Sacked By Governor Bagudu by Nobody: 7:01pm On Jun 14, 2019 |
Governor Atiku Bagudu has sworn in Justice Sulaiman Ambursa as chief judge of Kebbi state - The governor said he sent Elizabeth Asabe Karatu's name to the state assembly but she was not confirmed - The former acting chief judge claimed she was not confirmed because of her christian faith Governor Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi state has sacked the acting chief judge of the state, Elizabeth Asabe Karatu, and replaced her with Muhtar Imam Jega. Daily Nigerian reports that the governor swore-in Justice Sulaiman Ambursa as Karatu’s replacement in a ceremony on Friday, June 14. Karatu had written a petition to the NJC alleging that she was denied her rights to confirmation because she is a Christian. The swearing-in followed the refusal of the State House of Assembly to confirm the appointment of Justice Asabe Karatu, the former Acting Chief Judge of the state. “It baffles me when I read a story on social media that I did not forward Karatu’s name for confirmation because of her religion. “If you could recall, I re-submitted the name of Karatu for the second time on June 2, 2018 to the House for confirmation as Chief Judge. “I was informed that on Aug. 1, 2018, the House refused to confirm her appointment over alleged alteration of her date of birth and primary school certificate,” he explained. He said that he lobbied the lawmakers to ensure Karatu was confirmed but all effort proved unsuccessful. He also disclosed how he wrote to the National Judicial Council (NJC) on his efforts to ensure Karatu was confirmed by the House without fruitful outcome, stressing that the refusal to confirm her was not based on her faith. The governor, however, urged the new Acting Chief Justice to ensure proper things are done in the judiciary. “Our state is at the cross road now, you must right the wrongs,” he said. Earlier, the Speaker, Alhaji Abdulmumeen Kamba, explained that the House, not the governor has the power to confirm the appointment of a chief judge. “The purported letter mentioned in the story on social media said to be from the House addressed to the governor was never written by any member,” he said. Kamba also condemned the story in its entirety, adding there was no truth in the allegation of religious bias in the case. “It is worthy to note that the former Chief Judge of the state before Karatu was of Christian faith. ”Kebbi state is a multi-ethnic and multi-religious state and every faith or ethnicity is treated equally,” the speaker said. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Ambursa is the most senior among the judges in the state higher court.

The religious wasnt the barrier in her first tenure. Nigeria is a joke. Guys above me were quick to believe and support her. Nobody cares to know if she truly altered her date of birth... Nigeria n religion matter ehn! 1 Like 2 Shares |

A governor will just wake up and sack the state Chief judge which happens to be his equal. The bad seed sown by Buhari is beginning to manifest. Yesterday it was Onnoghen, today it was karatu. it could be anyone tomorrow. 2 Likes |

onez: In what government textbook did you read that an unelected judge is equal to a validly elected governor? Where in this writeup does it say the governor woke up one day and sacked the chief judge? Everybody else on this thread was able to rightly criticise what is going on in Kebbi without inventing fairytales to butress their point- are you not intelligent enough to do the same? I don't like what seems to be going on in Kebbi but this is why people who want to be judges must always live above board. As for the people in Kebbi, if they honestly believe no christian can give them justice then they are welcome to their backwardness and bigotry. One thing for sure is this will always be remembered by true Nigerians if the judge's side of the story is proven correct. What a repulsive thing to hear in the 21st century!! 1 Like |
