The National Judicial Council has recommended the compulsory retirement of two judicial officers, the Grand Kadi of Yobe State, Shu’aibu Talba, and Justice Abdulkareem Babatunde Abdulrasaq of Osun State High Court, for alleged age falsification.
The NJC’s Director, Information, Mr Soji Oye, stated in a statement on Sunday that the council took its decision at its 93rd meeting held virtually on December 16, 2020.
He stated that the council’s findings showed that by their real ages, Grand Kadi Talba ought to have retired in February 2020, and Justice Abdulrasaq ought to have retired in September 2020.
