A Benue State-based businessman, Sesugh Akume, has approached the National Judicial Council to report two judges, W.I Kpochi and A. Ityonyiman, of the High Court of Justice in Benue State for their alleged breaches of the code of conduct for judiciary officers.
“In the matter of Sesugh Akume and Governor of Benue & Others Justice Kpochi held that it was okay for governors to appoint local government caretaker administrations contrary to the express provisions of the Constitution and Supreme Court judgements on the issue. “In the matter of Sesugh Akume and Governor of Benue & Another this same judge, among other things, cited sections of the Benue Local Government Law that are not so, in support of his judgement. What he claimed the referenced sections said is not what is written in the law at all.
“In the matter of Sesugh Akume v Government of Benue & Others Justice Ityonyiman held that I lacked the locus standi in a matter whereby I had made Freedom of Information applications at the offices of the accountant-general of Benue, and chairman of Logo Local Government both of which were denied.”
“This same judge refused to answer the questions I brought before him, to wit, whether FOI applies to the state and local government system, etc. Judges are duty-bound to answer questions brought to them and not refuse to answer them at all ostensibly because a person lacks the locus standi.
