“Sequel to the findings of the investigative committee set up by the JSC to investigate the petition against Jamilu Ibrahim and others, the investigation revealed that Jamilu Ibrahim along with a syndicate were found to have received illegal funds emanating from a writ of possession that was fraudulently obtained in order to sell two plots of land.
“The committee recommended that Jamilu Ibrahim should be dismissed from service, however, the Judicial Service Commission has suspended Jamilu Ibrahim indefinitely without pay pending the outcome of the trial he is facing before a Magistrate Court.

The Judicial Service Commission acting upon the recommendation of the investigative committee has suspended Zubairu Sulaiman for four months without pay.
“The Commission remains resolute in applying appropriate sanctions against any erring staff, particularly those entrusted with judicial responsibilities, to safeguard the integrity and accountability of the Judiciary and uphold public confidence,” the statement however reads.
