Until recently, the NJC failed to file its Notice of Appeal six months after the Court of Appeal voided the compulsory retirement of Justice Olotu, which led to the delay in the Supreme Court giving judgment on the matter.
The matter before the Court is sequel to the NJC’s bid to challenge the Court of Appeal’s decision invalidating Justice Olotu’s compulsory retirement from the Federal High Court, Abuja. However, the Supreme Court will in the coming days consider whether “iustitiam morari iniustitia est and Qui iustitiam moratur iustitiam negat are relevant to the current state of proceedings in the suit between the NJC as Appellant/applicant and Justice Gladys K. Olotu, President Of The Federal Republic Of Nigeria, Attorney General of the Federation, Chief Justice of Nigeria and the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court.
Justice Olotu was appointed a Judge of the Federal High Court on July 28, 2000 and resumed the Bench on September 1, 2000. The NJC recommended her compulsory retirement on February 27, 2014, which then President Goodluck Jonathan approved. Aggrieved at the decision, Justice Olotu sued the NJC at the National Industrial Court of Nigeria in Abuja. The NICN, on September 20, 2017, upheld the NJC’s decision.
