The National Judicial Council of Nigeria (NJC) has dismissed Justice Mohammed Yunusa and two other judges for judicial malpractices.It was learnt that the NJC met on Thursday and Friday to consider several allegations of judicial misconduct by Justice Mohammed Yunusa of the Federal High Court, Justice Olamide Falahanmi Oloyede of the Osun High Court, and an unnamed judge from Benue State.

At the end of its deliberations, the NJC decided that the three judges deserved to be dismissed for acts of gross misconduct.
An NJC source told SaharaReporters that Justice Yunusa had the worst case, with numerous petitions accusing him of receiving kickbacks and bribes. He was also accused of writing and delivering two different judgments in one case.

The source disclosed that one of the strongest cases against Justice Yunusa was his decision to grant an interlocutory injunction stopping the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission from investigating and arresting Senator Stella Oduah, a former Minister of Aviation, who is the target of an EFCC investigation. Ms. Oduah is accused of massive embezzlement of public funds and numerous acts of fraud in contracts.
Justice Yunusa had been in the public eye after federal prosecutors commenced the prosecution of a well-known lawyer, Rickey Tarfa, as well as other persons accused of bribing judges. Justice Yunusa was named as the major recipient of bribes from Mr. Tarfa, whose trial is ongoing.

The judge became notorious for granting injunctions aimed at stopping law enforcement agencies from carrying out their investigative duties, especially in cases related to corruption by major public figures. “We found out that Justice Mohammed Yunusa basically committed acts that amounted to subversion of the course of justice,” an NJC source said.

Justice Oloyede, a female judge in Osun State, was also sacked by the NJC. In 2015, Ms. Oloyede caused a scandal when, as a serving judge, she petitioned the Osun State House of Assembly urging them to impeach Governor Rauf Aregbesola whom she accused of corruption.
NJC sources said the judges were dismissed after an exhaustive investigation determined that they were guilty of various acts of grave misconduct.

JusticeAbang too should be sent packing...

Nigeria the head quarter of kwaruption

And Okon Abang too

Imagine if the Justices' name was to be Chukwudi...hmm! I rest my case.

Justice Oloyede, a female judge in Osun State, was also sacked by the NJC. In 2015, Ms. Oloyede caused a scandal when, as a serving judge, she petitioned the Osun State House of Assembly urging them to impeach Governor Rauf Aregbesola whom she accused of corruption.

[size=28pt]why will she that, when she had the power to summon aregbesola to appear before her.

she can take them to court for dismissing her.

Hold on?

Does it mean a serving judge lacks the right to petition anyone? Or is this a case of 'person wey e papa dey heaven no dey go hell fire'

And why is abang' name bring called? If anything, he should be promoted. Abang has been nothing but steadfast in his rulings.

Power to summon without any case tabled before her?

She was the Judge that tried to play prosecutor and plaintiff, when her designation is to adjudicate.

The title is not Judges that deserve awards or deserve to be chief justice, so I wonder why anarchists are mentioning Justice Okon Abang who has been giving criminals a tough time in his court.

Or has anyone accused Justice Okon Abang of collecting bribe or giving double judgement, or granting prayers not requested in the suits tabled before his court?

Let's worry less, Okon Abang will be most disgraced very soon.

Quote me anywhere.

Well you'd think misconduct means them delivering bad judgment on the masses, here its before one of the Judges was holding the Mallet that gave way to the petition of Rauf being impeached. Nonsense
