On February 24, 2023, President Muhammadu Buhari assented to the "Forced Retirement and Dismissal of Justice Ademola Adebiyi and Justice Tokode" bill. This bill was passed by the National Assembly, which is the legislative arm of the Nigerian government.
The bill was introduced in response to the controversy surrounding the forced retirement of Justice Ademola Adebiyi and Justice Tokode, two judges who were allegedly involved in corrupt activities. The judges were accused of accepting bribes and manipulating court cases.
The bill aims to address the issue of forced retirement and dismissal of judges in Nigeria. It provides for the establishment of a tribunal to investigate allegations of corruption against judges and for the removal of judges who are found guilty of corruption.
The assent of the bill by President Buhari is seen as a significant step towards addressing the issue of corruption in the judiciary and ensuring accountability among judges.
