AYO Salami’s recent outcry that corruption in the judiciary is still deep-seated is a sore that has refused to heal. His rage was against retired senior jurists who have perfected the act of bribing serving judges to pervert the course of justice. The practice is most abominable; it is a symptom of a judiciary in need of redemption. Salami, a retired President, Court of Appeal, at a conference of the Ilorin branch of the Nigerian Bar Association early this month, also decried the habit of judges meekly submitting to political authorities in order to get patronage.

The All Progressives Congress on Tuesday asked the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Aloma Mukhtar, to sanction Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court, Abuja  for engaging in mischief capable of bringing the  Bench into disrepute.

The party accused Ademola of going beyond “the reliefs” sought by the ruling  Peoples Democratic  Party  in its suit by restraining  its lawmakers  from engaging in any act that could lead to a change of leadership in  the House of Representatives.

It, however, said in a statement by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, that  it was wrong for anyone  to insinuate that Ademola  ordered   its lawmakers who defected from the   Peoples Democratic Party to vacate their seats in the House.
