The National Judicial Council (NJC) has
suspended Francis Chukwuma Abosi,
acting president of the customary court
of appeal, and Aliyu Musa Liman, a judge
of Bauchi state high court, over judicial
misconduct.

In a statement by Soji Oye, the council’s
director of information, “Abosi was
recommended for compulsory retirement
following the falsification of his date of birth
from 1950 to 1958”.

“Findings showed that he was supposed to
have retired in November 2015 when he
clocked the mandatory retirement age of
Sixty five (65) years,” he said.

“Council decided to recommend for his
compulsory retirement to governor Hope
Uzodinma of Imo State and to also deduct
the salaries he had earned from November
2015 to date from his retirement benefit.”

The NJC also forwarded its recommendation
for the compulsory retirement of Liman to
the governor of Bauchi state for failing to
deliver judgment in a case for over four
years.

“Musa Liman was recommended to the
Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed for
compulsory retirement pursuant to the
findings by the council for his failure to
deliver judgement in suit No BA/100/2010,
between Abubakar Isa and Sheik Tahir
Usman Bauchi within the three months
period stipulated by the 1999 constitution of
the federal republic of Nigeria,” Oye said.

“Council viewed his lordship’s failure to
deliver judgement for nearly four years as a
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.”

The two judges have been suspended
pending the approval of the
recommendation for their compulsory
retirement by their state governors.

Petitions against O.A. Musa, justice of the
high court of the FCT; Muhammed A. Sambo
and Sa’ad Ibrahim Zadawa of the high court
of Justice, Bauchi state, were dismissed for
“either lacking in merit or being subjudice”.

Why not make an example of one of these people by jailing and having them forfeit their benefits instead of the slap on the wrist.

No wonder all these nonsense will continue to fester in our polity.

The rot is from head to bottom.

no I'm not a criminal and you quoted someone without thinking properly. The buhari u mentioned is a fake as u. I won't be surprised if u r from south. I'm not from south. Tell me a person in civil service without falsify Age including buhari and the like. Some of kids on nairaland must learn to avoid quoting someone especially when u lack what to say.
