The National Judicial Council (NJC) has recommended the compulsory retirement of a judge of the Osun High Court, S.O Falola over an alleged false order.
This is as the NJC also set up panels to investigate 51 petitions against other judges over various acts of misconduct in the discharge of their judicial duties.
The Director of Information at the NJC, Soji Oye disclosed this as part of the decisions at the 104th meeting in Abuja.
He said the council invoked its constitutional powers and placed the judge on indefinite suspension from duties pending the time Governor Ademola Adeleke would give effect to its recommendation.
The NJC indicated that Justice Falola granted a garnishee order against Polaris Bank for the sum of N283,174,000 in a questionable and strange manner.
The compulsory retirement recommendation was made sequel to the findings of an investigation committee in a petition written against the judge by one Dapo Kolapo Olowo and Polaris Bank.
Justice Falola was also found wanting for attaching the account of the garnishee with another garnishee and not the account of the judgment debtor who had the legal obligation to pay the supposed judgment sum.
