Will the Judiciary condone forgery?

A Federal High Court judge recently stirred controversy by commenting on a matter before the Court of Appeal, raising questions about human error or judicial misconduct. Since the return to civil rule in 1999, allegations of forged certificates have surfaced in elections, but candidates have often been dismissed by the courts, reinforcing the notion that the Nigerian judiciary would not condone illegality. Public confidence in the judicial system is being tested as every Nigerian is called to take a stance on these ethical issues.
