Federal High Court judges recalled from compulsory retirement set to begin sitting

Two judges of the Federal High Court recently recalled from compulsory retirement, a sanction imposed on them for alleged acts of misconduct years back, are set to begin sitting at the court’s headquarters in Abuja.

The judges – Gladys Olotu and Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia – were recalled after obtaining separate court judgments that overturned the National Judicial Council (NJC)’s disciplinary action against them.

Following their recall to the bench, the two judges have now been assigned separate courtrooms at the court’s headquarters in Abuja, according to the court’s assistant director of information, Catherine Christopher.
