Federal High Court Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia has been severely penalized for “misconduct and alleged injustice," Premium Times reports. This is happening after she carelessly handled a pre-election case in Ogun state carelessly. The National Judicial Council, under the chairmanship of Justice Mahmud Mohammed, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, has barred her from being elevated to the Court of Appeal, or any higher judicial body till her retirement.She was also placed on the council’s “watch-list” for the next four years.
The decision was sequel to the petition written against her by Victoria Ayeni alleging misconduct and injustice on the part of Mrs. Ofili-Ajumogobia for failing to deliver judgment in Suit No FHC/AB/CS/31/2011, a pre-election matter between Victoria A. A. Ayeni and Olusola Sonuga and two others. The judge was also alleged to have adjourned the pre-election matter repeatedly until the termination of the life span of the Ogun State House of Assembly.
