Justice Olamide Oloyede, recently became a recognised name, after she submitted a petition to the Osun State House of Assembly calling for the removal of Governor Aregbesola on the grounds of financial misappropriation.
Was that her undoing?… maybe.
Justice Oloyede, is now enmeshed in a scandal of her own, as a mother of four, Mrs Emily Richard-Obire, has accused her of having an affair with her husband and cohabiting with him.
Richard Obire petitioned the National Judicial Council on the matter, which in turn, issued a query to the judge.
She stated in her petition dated July 13, 2015 that she recently discovered that the judge had been having an affair with her husband since 2011.
The petitioner alleged that Oloyede’s relationship with her husband was threatening her 23-year-old marriage.
In the petition addressed to the Chief Justice of Nigeria and Chairman of the NJC, Justice Mohammed, she alleged that her husband, she said: “I am afraid that if something urgent is not done, Justice Oloyede may finally snatch my husband and he may eventually and finally abdicate his responsibilities.”
“I have evidence to the effect that she has been addressing my husband as her “husband” and also my husband addresses her as “my beautiful wife” knowing full well that there is subsistence of marriage between us.
“I urge you to use your good offices to restrain Justice Olamide Oloyede from further acts of having an affair with my husband.”
Justice Mahmud Mohammed, who personally signed the query, directed Justice Oloyede to respond to the query within 14 days of receiving it.
The NJC issued the query dated July 28, 2015 and with reference number, NJC/S.29/HC.OS/16/1/55.
It was entitled, ‘Re: Petition against Justice Olamide Oloyede of the Osun State Judiciary’ and reads thus, “I forward herewith a petition dated July 13, 2015 against you by one Mrs. Emily Richard-Obire on the above subject matter. The petition speaks for itself.
“I shall be glad to have your comments within 14 days from the date of your receipt of this letter.”
