A Kogi High Court has ruled that both the executive and legislature cannot remove Justice Nasir Ajanah, the Chief Justice of the state, without the recommendation of the National Judicial Council .
Omolaye-Ajileye who granted all the reliefs and declarations sought by the claimants in the suit said, “On the whole, I find merit in this action and it succeeds. All the declarations sought are allowed. “Where a Chief Judge of a state is to be removed, for whatever reason, it is the NJC, not the state House of Assembly that is empowered to make recommendations to the governor of a state under item 21 of the Third Schedule to the Constitution.
The claimants, in their originating summons, posed four questions for determination which revolved around whether the defendants had the power to remove the chief judge as a “judicial officer” within the meaning of sections 292 and 318 of the 1999 constitution. They equally sought orders of perpetual injunction setting aside the purported resolution and another restraining the defendants, their agents, privies or servants from investigating or exercising any form of disciplinary control or sanctions on the claimants.
The chief judge had instructed the chief registrar to reply to the letter as it was unethical for him to communicate directly with her while the case was pending.
