The National Judicial Council (NJC) has issued warning letters to two judges over their misconduct in the discharge of their judicial functions. One of the affected judges, Justice Muawiyah Baba Idris of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja was issued a warning letter and also placed on the NJC’s watch list for one year. Justice Idris was indicted for signing the Writ of Possession for execution on the same day he delivered judgment in a suit between Sicons Nigeria Ltd. versus Nile Place Restaurant and Catering Services Ltd.
This was disclosed on Wednesday in a statement by NJC, Director of Information, Soji Oye.
Justice M. M. Ladan of the High Court of Kaduna State was also issued a letter of warning.
The NJC issued Justice Ladan the letter of warning after having found merit in the petition written against him in a court case between VTLS Inc. versus Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.
