As Lawmakers Send Damning Findings On Suspended Osun CJ To NJC

The Osun State House of Assembly committee set up to investigate petitions against the Chief Judge, Justice Oyebola Adepele-Ojo has submitted its report indicting her of misconduct.
The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Kanmi Ajibola, while presenting the report on Friday outlined the anomalies discovered including unilateral award of contracts, disobedience of court orders and embezzlement of funds.
The Assembly consequently adopted the report and resolved to forward it alongside evidence documents to Governor Ademola Adeleke for onward transmission to the National Judicial Council (NJC).
This comes few weeks after the Assembly passed a resolution suspending the Chief Judge and requesting the Governor to swear-in an acting CJ over the allegations which the committee has now established prima facie.
The NJC is expected to deliberate on the report and take further disciplinary actions against Justice Adepele-Ojo in line with judicial service rules.
