The Hon Chief Judge invited the National convener of FIACIJ to
her lordship’s office to see for himself the developments that a
youth corper claimed her lordship spent 66m on and other
issues…..
Date: 3rd January 2018, Time: 10.30am
Venue: the office of the Chief Judge of Lagos State
The Hon. Chief Judge explained that she had nothing to do with
the contractors or any funds regarding her lordship’s chambers. Her
lordship noted that all the furniture purchased by her predecessor
was taken away by her predecessor and replaced with old and worn
out furniture. The only remarkable difference in the office is that
the AC is now in the roof and not a split system hanging on the
walls.
In response to the work done at her official quarters, her
lordship says she has not even passed through the street where the
house is located talk less of entering it
With respect to the youth corper who claims he has not been
paid, her lordship remarks that she is not aware of any
outstandings to be paid from the information she got from the
accountants. In fact the sum of 200m is said to be mismanaged by
the last administration with over 4m said to be spent on a
valedictory session for the outgone CJ
Further investigations show that some official cars were missing
but some have been recovered.
3 staff of the cash office were also suspended while it was
discovered that almost all the departments of the judiciary were
making returns to the former CJ
Further inquiries revealed that the instagram post were
connected to the former CJ in a bid to distract the current Chief
judge from rooting out all the seeds of corruption planted by the
last administration.
The current CJ has since received several threats because of her
anti corruption stance.
Till date, we have not received any word from those who first
made the allegations. We have left messages for them but no
response. We have also not received any anonymous messages
supporting the allegations
Our conclusion therefore, in the absence of any other
information contrary to what we have heard directly from the
current Chief judge is that the ALLEGATIONS WERE FALSE calculated
to undermine the Chief Judge’s stand against corruption.
We presented copies of the FIACIJ flyers to the CJ who promises
to circulate amongst her staff and all judiciary officers.
Her lordship is also going to call a press conference later in
the month to publicly endorse the flyer and encourage all lawyers
and litigants to stop offering bribes and be bold enough to report
any erring judicial staff or officer.
