A photo of judges disciplined over misconduct has surfaced online.

Kano’s Judicial Service Commission took disciplinary actions against three magistrates and a registrar of the Kano High Court over misconduct.

The Commission reported that a magistrate was caught attempting to steal funds from a frozen bank account.

This was announced in a statement signed by the spokesman for the JSC, Baba Jibo-Ibrahim, on Monday.

“The Judicial Service Commission, at its 72nd meeting held on June 11, 2024, considered petitions against the three magistrates and one registrar in the state. The magistrates are Chief Magistrate Talatu Makama, Senior Magistrate Rabi Abdulkadir, Chief Magistrate Tijjani Saleh-Minjibir, and Senior Registrar Abdu Nasir.

“These disciplinary actions underscore the Judicial Service Commission’s commitment to maintaining highest standards of judicial conduct and ensuring the integrity of the legal system,” Mr Jibo-Ibrahim said.

The statement said that the Judiciary Public Complaints Committee’s investigation of three petitions filed against Ms Makama found her guilty of misconduct.

According to the statement, the investigation revealed that she ordered GTBank to transfer money from a petitioner’s already frozen account into her personal account, which she clearly admitted in her response.
