Facts have emerged on how employees of Bauchi State High Court used fake letterhead, stamp and other documents to corner and execute contracts worth N11.5 billion.

Chief Judge of Bauchi, Rabi Umar, told select journalists in her office, yesterday, that some elements in the state’s judiciary were out to tarnish the image of the arm of government.

“The recent directive I gave for the investigation was the instances some staff of the High Court entered into contractual relationship with various companies worth billions of naira using forged stamp, letterhead of the office of the Chief Registrar and forms without our knowledge, authority or consent.”

According to her, those involved are investigated and charged to court by the EFCC and are standing trial. She related another instance about four months ago, in which some staff of the High Court defrauded a company from Kaduna using forged documents of the court. Umar said that some people accused her of appointing a Christian Chief Registrar, Emmanuel Danjuma, in the High Court.
