Justice Atilade advised them to read and get themselves acquainted with the Customary Court Laws of Lagos State 2011 in order not act illegally. She warned them to live above board and up to the status of their new office, “your worship”. Justice Atilade warned the new judges against using their new powers to oppress their community. She reminded them that they were carefully selected because of their track records, integrity, ability and qualifications. “ Your being here is a priviledge granted by the Governor of Lagos State. So, I hope you will carry out your duties with integrity and honesty. “Do not take bribe. If you take bribe, you will be shown the way out by the Judiciary Commission on completion of their investigation,” she said. The Executive Secretary of the Lagos State Judiciary Service Commission, Mrs Ayodele Odugbesan who also admonished the new appointees to fair in their judgement, explained that the appointment of the judges was done in conformity with Section 2 of the Customary Court Laws of Lagos State 2011. Mrs Odugbesan said the judicial oath administered on them by the Lagos CJ was also in fulfillment of Section 13 of the Customary Court Laws of Lagos State 2011. Responding on behalf of her colleagues, one of the magistrates, Mrs Desola Folami, promised that they would serve the state judiciary without blemish. While thanking Governor Akinbode for the opportunity given them to serve the state, she said they would not engage in any activity that would destroy the confidence reposed in them.]]>
