NJC Questions Justice Aikawa's Delay in Responding to Complaint
The article addresses the authority of the Nigerian Judicial Council (NJC) in relation to a complaint filed by Mallam Nasir El-Rufai against Justice Aikawa of the Federal High Court. The NJC sent a letter on March 24, 2025, regarding El-Rufai's petition dated March 21, 2025.
The NJC noted that Justice Aikawa did not respond to the communication until December 15, 2025, prompting the NJC to question why judicial officers could ignore their communications for nine months. This situation raises concerns about accountability within the judiciary, especially as the NJC is mandated to ensure judicial officers are held accountable.
The article emphasizes the importance of the NJC's role in maintaining judicial integrity and the implications of such delays on public trust in the judicial system.
