The youth wing of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has formally petitioned the National Judicial Council (NJC) requesting the removal of Justice Peter Odo Lifu. The petition alleges misconduct and bias on the part of Justice Lifu in cases involving the ADC. Specifically, the youth wing seeks Justice Lifu’s recusal from all current and future ADC-related matters, and ultimately, his dismissal from the judiciary. The petition stems from concerns regarding rulings in a Federal High Court case, though details of the case were not provided in the initial report. The ADC youth believe Justice Lifu’s actions demonstrate a conflict of interest and impede fair legal proceedings for their party. The NJC will now review the petition and determine its course of action regarding the allegations. Vanguard News reported the filing of the petition on Thursday.
