ADC chieftain seeks order to probe FHC chief judge for alleged bias

An African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain has filed a motion seeking a court order to compel the National Judicial Council (NJC) to investigate the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court (FHC) and another judge over allegations of bias.

In a legal move highlighting concerns within Nigeria's judiciary, an ADC chieftain has approached the court to demand an investigation into alleged bias by senior judicial officials. The application targets the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court and an unspecified judge, urging the National Judicial Council to conduct a probe.

This development stems from claims of impartiality in judicial proceedings, though specific details of the allegations remain undisclosed in available reports. The chieftain's action underscores ongoing debates about judicial integrity in Nigeria, where such probes are handled by the NJC to maintain standards.

No further timeline or outcomes have been reported, but the case points to broader efforts to ensure accountability in the legal system. Related stories mention other judicial and administrative issues, but this filing stands as a distinct call for oversight.
