A justice advocacy group under the aegis of Access to Justice (A2J), has described the reinstatement of Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia of the Federal High Court by the National Judicial Council (NJC) as a brutal and agonising stab at the Nigeria judicial system. The NJC had approved Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia’s prosecution, following a petition dated December 28, 2017, which accused her of engaging in various acts considered to be in breach of the Code of Conduct of judicial officers.

December 12, 2022

But a few days ago, the NJC reinstated Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia after a court judgment quashed the 15 count-money laundering charge preferred against her by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission . “The Council’s decision will cast a long, dark shadow over the Judiciary for a long time to come and amplify questions about whether the Nigerian Judiciary can continue to legitimately exercise judicial power.

“The NJC badly managed the Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia case, and the question is why? This is the same council that found Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia guilty of serious misconduct and recommended her removal.
