Bello was demoted from Assistant Chief Area Court Judge to Principal Registrar III.
A statement signed by the Secretary of the commission, Helen Nuhu, and issued on Tuesday in Yola, the state capital, said the demotion was as a result of alleged gross abuse of judicial powers and misconduct committed by Bello.
The statement also said that Bello was directed to refund N118,000 being an amount he allegedly collected from petitioners at various occasions.
