The National Judicial Council on Monday recommended the compulsory retirement of Justice Shadrach Nwanosike, the acting Chief Judge of Abia State, from office.
This was contained in a statement signed by the acting Director, Information of the Supreme Court, Soji Oye.
The statement said that the recommendation was sequel to the findings of the NJC that Nwanosike falsified his date of birth, which invariably affected his retirement age.
It stated that the NJC also considered and deliberated on the report of its Committee on Performance Evaluation of Judicial officers of the Superior Courts of Record in the country.
The NJC also recommended the appointment of judicial officers as Chief Judges of the FCT, Rivers State, Jigawa State and Katsina State.
It stated that the name of a Chief Judge for the FCT High Court had been recommended to President Goodluck Jonathan for appointment.
The NJC is under the chairmanship of the Chief the Justice of Nigeria, Justice Aloma Mukhtar.<\/p>\n
