The office of the Chief Justice of Lagos State has recently been receiving serious attention from the legal world and beyond.<\/p>\n
The Chief Justice of Lagos State, Honourable Justice Opeyemi Oke, has been accused of unleaching unnecessary high handedness and untold hardship on her subjects.<\/p>\n
A 2017 NYSC member took to his instagram handle\u00a0@facedtruth2017\u00a0to condemn the acts of the chief judge and her refusal to pay their monthly allowances on the premise that they worked during the administration of her predecessor, Honourable Justice Atilade, hence not entitled to any remuneration.<\/p>\n
He lamented that the monies wasted by the Chief Judge on frivolities could have been given to them to offset debt incurred while working for Lagos state government.<\/p>\n
According to them,<\/p>\n
It is so unfortunate that the Lagos state judiciary is in a mess with the advent of a new Chief Judge of lagos who does not really know that one of the features of government is that it is a continue process.<\/p>\n
We the outgoing corp members of Lagos State Judiciary Ikeja, after working earnestly for the judiciary and we expect to be paid our monthly allowance as stated in our\u00a0 acceptance letter , the new chief judge refused to pay us stating that we worked under the administration of the former chief judge, Atilade and not hers so we are not entitled to any remuneration.<\/p>\n
It is so regrettable that the CJ and all the Judges travelled to Switzerland and she was able to afford bags of rice for all the judges and renovate her office that was on standard condition before the former CJ vacated office but due to her fear of the Unknown either that the former CJ can use black magic on her, she demolished the building.<\/p>\n
Our allowance is just N20,000 compare to what she would have spent on all the trips both local and international, since she resumed office it\u2019s so unfortunate that the judiciary empowered to curb abnormality are the ones trending in the abnormality. Please pay us as some of my creditors are seeking the money borrowed from them to come to work\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Also speaking to BarristerNG.com on condition of anonymity, a Lagos State Judiciary officer stated that Justice Oke demolished and renovated the CJs offices at Lagos and Ikeja at a whooping cost of 66milion.<\/p>\n
The officer went further to state that the current Chief Judge has not paid any allowances owed during the tenure of her predecessor which ended in September 2017.<\/p>\n
According to the judicial officer, the chief judge not only cancelled the valedictory court session of her predecessor but went further to seize vehicles from staffs who worked for the predecessor as against tradition.<\/p>\n
Justice Oke was some months ago, sworn in as Chief Judge of Lagos State after the retirement of Justice Atilade.<\/p>\n
