The axe of the National Judicial Council (NJC) has fallen on the head of the acting Chief Judge (CJ) of Abia State, Justice Shadrack Nwanosike for allegedly falsifying his age. Read more
Accordingly, the council, under the chairmanship of the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Aloma Mariam Mukhtar had recommended his compulsory retirement from office.
The decision was reached after a two-day meeting of the NJC held between July 17 and 18 in Abuja, where it was established that Justice Nwanosike falsified his date of birth, which invariably affected his retirement age.
Besides, the meeting deliberated on the report of its Committee on Performance Evaluation of Judicial Officers of the Superior Courts of Record in the Federation.
At the end of deliberation, the council constituted a five-man committee asking its members to invite judicial officers with ‘very low performance or non-performance’, to appear before it to show cause why they should not be removed from office.
Meanwhile, the NJC has recommended the appointment of some judicial officers in the federal and state judiciaries to the executive arm of government. They include the Chief Judge, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja; Chief Judge of Rivers State; Chief Judge of Jigawa State; Chief Judge of Katsina State; the President of Customary Court of Appeal, Taraba State and Two Kadis for the Sharia Court of Appeal in Kebbi State.
Also recommended for appointment are Two Kadis for the Sharia Court of Appeal in Sokoto State; One Judge for the Customary Court of Appeal in Delta State and Two Judges for the Customary Court of Appeal in Ebonyi State.
