NJC rejects Governor Adeleke’s Acting Chief Judge nominee

The National Judicial Council (NJC) has rejected Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke’s nominee for replacement of the state’s Chief Judge.

The NJC rather insisted that Adepele Ojo, who was purportedly suspended from office by the governor, remained the Chief Judge of the state, a decision the council took as part of its resolutions during its two-day meeting which ended on Thursday.

The Director of Information of the NJC, Soji Oye, announced the resolutions of the council in a statement on Thursday.
