NJC sends Omotosho, Nwite, 10 other judges to Tinubu for appointment as Appeal Court Justices

The National Judicial Council (NJC) has recommended 12 High Court judges to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for appointment as Justices of the Court of Appeal, ahead of potential litigations related to the 2027 general elections. Among the judges are James Kolawole Omotosho and Emeka Nwite, known for handling high-profile political and criminal cases. Two judges were suspended for judicial misconduct, while eight judges from Imo State were compulsorily retired for age falsification.
