The National Judicial Council (NJC) has recommended the dismissal of Justice Ugbo Ononogbo of the Abia State High Court and the compulsory retirement from office of Justice Nasir Gummi of Zamfara State High Court of Justice with immediate effect.
The NJC also resolved at its 80th meeting held between December 14 and 15, to issue letters of “strong warnings” to two judges of the High Court of Lagos State for some unethical conduct.
NJC has suspended both judges from office immediately pending when the governors of Abia and Zamfara states act on its recommendations.
Those issued warning letters are Justice D. O. Oluwayemi of the Lagos judiciary and Justice M. A. Savage of High Court of Lagos State.
NJC’s Director of Information, Soji Oye, said, in a statement on Friday said that the council took its decisions after exhaustively considering petitions written against the affected judicial officers.
