The Civil Societies Coalition for the Emancipation of Osun State has recommended Justice Folahanmi Oloyede of Osun State Judiciary to President Muhammadu Buhari for appointment as one of the judges for the proposed special court to handle corruption cases.

Remember the Judge who wrote petition against governor of Osun state, Rauf Aregbesola of funds misappropriation but lost the suit. Remember she was also in affair scandal- a woman stating that she was cohabiting with her husband.

The same group, came to her rescue defending her stance on that allegation. Now the same group wants her to be appointed as one of the judges for Buhari’s proposed special court.

In a statement in Osogbo on Sunday, the Chairman of the group, Adeniyi Sulaiman said Oloyede was a bold and honest judge who they said was qualified to head such a court.

Sulaiman stated that any judge, who would be appointed to man such a court, should be a person of impeccable character and must be bold and courageous to discharge his/her duties without fear or favour.

“It is now clear that most of the judicial officers in the land have soiled their hands in one corrupt practice or the other, failing integrity test conducted by the security agents.

“We want to use this opportunity to recommend the courageous serving Judge of the Osun State High Court, Justice Olamide Folahanmi Oloyede, to be appointed as one of the judges to man the proposed Anti-Corruption Specialised Court, which will try the looters of the nation’s treasury.

“We also want to say that Justice Oloyede is a woman of virtue, integrity and an upright person with impeccable character. The records are there to be checked by anybody about Justice Folahanmi Oloyede.”

With the scandal and confrontation she had with the government, is she really of impeccable character? Some lawmakers might protest against such appointment if she ever gets it, especially Osun state government.
