The Acting Chief Judge of Abia state, Justice Shadrack O.E. Nwanosike has been sacked over the falsification of his date of birth.

On Monday, the Nigeria’s  National Judicial Council made the announcement after investigations revealed that Nwanosike faked his date of birth which invariably affected his retirement age.

He was subsequently ordered to embark on a compulsory retirement.

In a detailed press release signed by the Acting Director of Information, Soji Oye,  the action was part of the recommendation of the council at its meeting presided by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Aloma Mariam Mukhtar, held  on July 17 and 18.

The report from the Committee on Performance Evaluation of Judicial Officers of the Superior Courts of Record in the Federation made up of a five-man Committee was reviewed and Judicial Officers with “Very Low Performance or Non-Performance”, were to appear before the council to show cause why they should not be removed from office, reports say.

Also the council was considering the appointment of some Judicial Officers in the Federal & States Judiciaries to the Executive, respectively.

They were considering appointments of a substantive Chief Judge for the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja which the council has recommended to  President Goodluck Jonathan, Chief Judge, Rivers State, Chief Judge, Jigawa state, Chief Judge, Katsina state which the council recommended to their respective state governors.

and then there was the recommendation for the appointment of  President of Customary Court of Appeal in Taraba state, two Khadis for the Sharia Court of Appeal in Kebbi state, two Khadis for the Sharia Court of Appeal in Sokoto state, one Judge for the Customary Court of Appeal in Delta state and two Judges for the Customary Court of Appeal in Ebonyi state.
