The former Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, Chidi Odinkalu, has said the country’s judiciary can no longer be described as the hope of the common man.
The Nigerian human rights activist stated that the rot in the Nigerian judiciary started years ago and has gotten to the country’s Supreme Court, which calls for serious concern.
Odinkalu stressed corruption in the Judiciary is very bad, given a recent speech by retired Justice of the apex court, Dattijo Muhammad.
He noted that if corruption has got up to the Supreme Court, then the judiciary can no longer be described as the last hope of the common man.
Odinkalu, therefore, stated that some good men and women can serve on the bench today and are not confined to the sons, daughters and mistresses of Judges and politicians.
