SaharaReporters has exclusively obtained the list of judges selected to handle election petition cases in the aftermath of Nigeria’s general elections scheduled to hold next month.

Included in the roster are some judges notorious for accepting bribes in exchange for verdicts during their previous assignment after the highly flawed 2007 general elections.
In publishing the full list, SaharaReporters encourages citizens with solid information about ethical lapses on the part of any of the judges to contact us. In addition, we suggest that those with verifiable information on the inappropriateness of any of these judges should petition the President of the Court of Appeal.
“Corrupt judges who preside over electoral cases are a big threat to democracy – and deserve to be exposed and removed before election petitions start rolling in,” said an Abuja-based Senior Advocate of Nigeria.
