READ: NJC recalls Justice Ademola, 5 Other Suspended Judges
Special Adviser to the President on Prosecutions, Okoi Obono-Obla made the call during a programme on Channels TV, titled ‘Sunrise Daily’ on Monday.
He said, ''I can assure you that the NJC was aware of the intention of the EFCC to file criminal proceedings against those judges. So, why the hurry? Some of those judges also have several petitions written against them to the knowledge of the NJC so what is the hurry?
“We were in the process of charging them to court and the NJC is aware that the EFCC was in the process of charging these judges to court and as I said earlier, there are also complaints, petitions from members of the public against these judges; so, why have they not looked into some of these petitions?
“The impression is that they (NJC members) are trying to protect some of these judges. Apart from the criminal allegations against them, there are several petitions against these judges.
