The Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders (CACOL) has commended the National Judicial Council, NJC for meting out disciplinary measures to some Judges that erred on the side of corruption.
The NJC recently took a precise judgment on a number of judges who showed lack of professionalism and disregard for the constitution in carrying out their duties.
The corrupt acts were carried out in spite of the mandate of the Judiciary as an organ of government expected to uphold fairness and justice in the system.
Mr. Debo Adeniran, the Executive Chairman of CACOL, said “hearing the reports, we in CACOL are indeed impressed by the action of the NJC. The erring Judges, which include Chief Judge of Enugu State, A. I. Umezulike; a presiding Justice at the Court of Appeal in Kwara State, Mohammed Tsamiya; and Kabiru Auta of the Kano State High Court were sacked by the NJC for a number of undeniable allegations. The allegations include the abuse of office, bribery and extortion. We are impressed because we have always called on the NJC to sanitize its ranks given the existence of corrupt tendencies in that Arm of government.”
