Drop Osun judge husband-snatching petition- CJN

Daily Times-The Civil Societies Coalition for the Emancipation of Osun State (CSCEO), has described the National Judicial Commission (NJC) involvement in the marital matter of Justice Folahanmi Oloyede as unfortunate and shocking.

It would be recalled that Mrs. Emily Richard-Obire had sent a petition to NJC, claiming that Justice Oloyede snatched her husband.

The group, in a statement, expressed displeasure that the Chairman of the judicial body, who is also the Chief Justice of the Federation (CJN), Justice Mahmud Mohammed, treated the petition in the first instance.

The statement made available in Osogbo on Tuesday, was signed by CSCEO Chairman and Director of Mobilisation, Comrade Adeniyi Sulaiman and Rev. Theophilus Ayodeji respectively.

The group said going by the query dated July 28, 2015 to Justice Oloyede, it appeared that the NJC was falling into the antics of politicians by turning the NJC into a customary court where marital issues are being settled.

It added, “Is it not an irony that several serious issues and many petitions bordering on judicial misconducts against many judges across the country are before the NJC unattended to, yet, the NJC had all the time to intervene in a marital matter of Justice Oloyede.

“Justice Oloyede has the right to love and marry whoever she wants under the law and has the right to practice her religion without any hindrance. We wonder how many family matters NJC will need to settle among several judges in the federation.”

The group further alleged that the petition was a tactics by Governor Rauf Aregbesola to punish the judge for exposing misappropriation in Osun State.

Recall that Oloyede had earlier written a petition to Osun House of Assembly alleging Governor Aregbesola of corruption and misappropriation.

The group said, “If this matter had been on with Justice Oloyede since 2011 as claimed by Mrs Emily Obire, why was she coming out now in 2015 to send a petition to the NJC and at a time she was fighting this battle with Mr. Rauf Aregbesola?

“We understand the diversionary tactics of Aregbesola and his cronies over the weighty evidences of corruption presented the by this erudite judge against the governor. But for NJC to have fallen into this trap beats our imagination as coalition of civil societies.”

Change Agents In An Emerging Democratic Process (4)

Forward To A Permanent Revolution In Osun In the two years of Aregbesola administration, much has been achieved in respect of restoration of order, high moral values and responsible governance.

The revolutionary mission of the government is enunciated in the six-point programs of banishing poverty, hunger, and unemployement, restoring quality life, promoting functional education and communal peace.
