He further warned that several other judges at the Federal High Court have engaged in similar conduct, raising concerns about the integrity of the judicial process. Adum called on the National Judicial Council (NJC) to initiate disciplinary actions against justices who exhibit such behavior. “With the decision of the Court of Appeal yesterday, it’s now become incumbent on the NJC to activate its disciplinary procedures to ensure that these kinds of justices are punished,” he stressed.
The ADC’s petition against Justice Lifu is expected to trigger further legal and institutional scrutiny. The case has already drawn national attention, with implications for judicial independence and the protection of political rights in Nigeria. As the legal process continues, the outcome may influence how future cases involving political parties and electoral matters are handled in the courts. The ADC’s move signals a growing demand for accountability and adherence to legal standards within Nigeria’s judicial system.
