“In the interest of fair hearing, I think I will move the file to another court because it will not be fair to me and to DSS
The NJC, which claimed to have omnibus powers over both criminal and administrative matters relating to judges in Nigeria, last week disregarded the Presidency’s directive to suspend the suspected corrupt judicial officers from duty, pending the trial and disposal of the criminal allegations levelled against them
Ademola has since distanced himself from the allegation, saying that it was the handiwork of the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, and his handling of some sensitive cases in which he delivered judgements not favourable to the government
Justice Dimgba said this in a protest letter he sent to the Chief Justice of Nigeria and the Chairman of the National Judicial Council, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, over his arrest by the DSS
The court said there was no point for the witnesses billed to be called to testify in the matter to wear masks and bear pseudo names and addresses so as to facilitate their protection
