-



The Young Advocate Against Corruption, YAAC has called on the Chief Justice of Nigeria, National Judicial Council, FJSC and the Presidency to  urgently look into the cases of some  Judges and Registrars not cleared by President Muhammadu Buhari but still holding sensitive public offices.

In a press release made available to the media on Wednesday, 27th November, 2019 in Abuja, the Director General of the group, Danjuma Lamido, said that according to an exclusive documents at their possession, some Justices, Judges and Registrars not cleared by President Muhammadu Buhari to hold public offices are still holding sensitive public office against the anti-corruption crusade of this administration.

The Justices, Judges and Registrars includes: Hon. Justice D. Z Senchi - Court of Appeal; Emmanuel Gakko - Judge of the Federal High Court; Hauwa Shehu Aliyu - Judge of the High Court, FCT; Khadija Mounir Gwarzo - Judge of the High Court, FCT and Terere Vivianne Nnamani - Judge of the High Court, FCT.

"Of major concern to us is the Chief Registrar of the Federal High Court of Nigeria, Mr. Emmanuel Gakko who is aiming to become a Judge despite not even qualified to hold the office of the Chief Registrar of the Federal High Court of Nigeria, Lamido said.

He reiterated further that according to the recommendation signed by President Muhammadu Buhari, Mr. Emmanuel Gakko is not fit to be a Judge but he has been lobbying to suppress the official documents from the public so as to continue sitting in office illegally as Chief Registrar of the Federal High Court of Nigeria.

Danjuma further said, "We have it on authority that claims to have bought some security personnels and he has bought over some media outfits in other to keep the recommendation of Mr President away from the public.

"According to the maxim, 'He who seeks equity must do equity and equity does not replace or violate the law, but it backs it up and supplements it,' we call on the Chief Registrar of the Federal High Court of Nigeria, Mr. Emmanuel Gakko to obey the directive of President Muhammadu Buhari by resigning his position and allow equity to prevail.

"We also call on the Chief Justice of Nigeria and the National Judicial Council, Fjsc to enforce the directive of President Muhammadu Buhari as partners in the fight against corruption in the Judiciary arm of Government.

"Failure for the Chief Registrar of the Federal High Court of Nigeria, Mr. Emmanuel Gakko to resign in 7 days, we shall lead 'a million man march' against him until he steps down from the position he is currently holding , Lamido said.

By Adewole Kehinde The current Chief Judge of the Federal High Court of Nigeria, Hon. Justice Adamu Abdu - Kafarati, is due for retirement. He became a Judge of the Federal High Court on 31st October, 1991. Justice Adamu Abdu Kafarati will leave the Bench by July 25, 2019 on attainment of the mandatory statutory retirement age of 65 years. This will predictably pave way for Hon. Justice John Terhemba Tsoho, who was born on 24th June  1959, to emerge as the next Chief Judge. Hon Justice John Terhemba Tsoho is currently the second- in-command in the hierarchy of Federal High Court Judges. Therefore, on the basis of his seniority, he is expected to be made the next Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, within this month.  It is established tradition and policy that appointment into the office of the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court of Nigeria, is strictly based on order of seniority, (except the most senior person is of questionable conduct), on the ...
